SuperStar singing competition judging controversy

Overview

During the third casting episode of the singing competition SuperStar, judge Pavol Habera caused controversy by using a ‘Golden Ticket’ to grant contestant Ellen Pospíšilová direct passage to the TOP 50.

Although the judging panel—including Ewa Farna, Pavol Habera, Jakub Prachař, and Calin—had already reached a positive verdict, the use of the ticket bypassed the standard ‘golden room’ waiting period. This move led to social media backlash from viewers questioning the fairness of the process and the quality of the performance. Production responded by noting that the audio quality heard on television differs significantly from the audio experienced in the studio.
