 | | La Academia (The Academy) is a Mexican television show which is like a cross between Big Brother and American Idol, itself based on the British Pop Idol, in which members of the public compete to win a recording contract. |
 | | Each year, 14-18 young people live together in a house sequestered from the rest of the world, spending their days taking classes in singing, dancing, acting, and related fields, each preparing one or two songs for a 3-hour concert which they give each Sunday evening for television viewers and a live studio audience. |
 | | La Academia is a show from TV Azteca, one of Mexico's biggest TV stations. |
