Lythgoe, who has produced both American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance will produced the series based on a Turkish format, which is yet to air.
In the Turkish format, Keep Your Light Shining, 12 contestants appear on a dark circular stage with a moving spotlight, with them taking turns to sing as the spotlight shines on them for 15-20 seconds. Each round, one contestant is eliminated by the audience, with the show also featuring a panel of celebrity judges.
You can see a clip here that was obviously part of its trade pitch.
