During the first episode, Dr. Mátyás received a standing ovation and maximum points for a Shakira medley. However, a performance by Áron Kovács as Meghan Trainor led to a heated outburst after the contestant received a low score of 7 points from judge Szabi Papp. Following the elimination of Niki Gallusz and Roy Kohánszky, the competition moved into its second live show. This episode featured diverse musical impersonations, including Bence Brasch as Tina Turner and Ádám Szofi as Eurovision winner Dara. Takács Nikolas earned maximum points from the jury for his portrayal of Cher, while Gudics Máté’s performance as John Travolta drew laughter from judges who noted his resemblance to PSY. Lola’s performance as Sandi, which included a unique iodine-dancing routine, received high marks from most judges. However, the performance prompted initial harsh criticism from host Claudia Liptai regarding its energy; Liptai later issued an apology for her “previous vehemence.” Additionally, the episode noted that contestant Ramóna Lékai-Kiss would soon be participating in Paris Fashion Week. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-27: Sztárban Sztár: Second live show features diverse musical impersonations The second live show of ‘Sztárban Sztár’ featured diverse musical impersonations, including Tina Turner and Cher, alongside dramatic critiques and apologies from the judging panel. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sztrban-sztr-bence-brasch-to-perform-as-tina-turner ### 2026-09-20: Sztárban Sztár premiere features standout performances and judging tension The premiere of ‘Sztárban Sztár’ saw Dr. Mátyás earn a standing ovation with a Shakira medley, while Áron Kovács's Meghan Trainor tribute led to tense scoring moments with judge Szabi Papp. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/sztrban-sztr-premiere-features-standout-performances-and-judging-tension --- Cite as: Sztárban Sztár television competition.
