Yo Soy is a singing and impersonation competition show. It is the Peruvian version of the European show I am..., which has its own versions in other countries. It is presented by Adolfo Aguilar and Karen Schwarz.[1][2] It was produced by GV Producciones in 2012; in 2013, it was produced by Rayo en la botella.[3] It is broadcast on Frecuencia Latina (Channel 2) and licensed by Endemol. The jury is composed of producer Ricardo Morán, singer Maricarmen Marín and impersonator Fernando Armas.
Format
The program has three judges, who are responsible for selecting contestants based on their physical and vocal similarity to a given artist. The jury then chooses which participants remain and which leave.
The first prize is $25,000. In the last season of 2012 ("The Revenge"), the first prize was a Suzuki Grande Nomade.
