In October 2005, Azteca America announced they will launch the first reality show with only Hispanic contestants. The auditions were done nation-wide and at the end, a total of 30 were chosen to go to Mexico where they will have to spend a week working hard and showing all of what they had inside to be chosen to the final 18.

The first La Academia USA concert was on November 20, 2005.

A Sunday before the first concert, there was a special show that lasted two hours. In that show we saw footage of the auditions. At the end, 12 of the 30 were eliminated leaving the lucky 18 that Azteca America had chosen to become the first generation of La Academia USA. Michael Muenchow, who was previously on Telemundo's song-based reality show Nuevas Voces De America in 2005 was one of the 18 selected. Michael lives in San Antonio, Texas and made it to the top 13 final singers, before being expelled. His vote off was one of the results that caused the most uproar among viewers and the teachers in the academy, alike. After 3 months of competition La Academia USA came to an end, crowning Mariana Vargas winner of the Latin Reality Show. After the show ended many of the ex-students of the Academy, including Michael, Diana, Frankie, Fatimat, Jazmin, Alex ("El Chino") and Nohelia continued singing together for thier fans across the United States.
