Rising Star was a short-lived American reality television singing competition which began airing on ABC on June 22, 2014. It was based on the international franchise series Rising Star itself based on the Israeli singing competition HaKokhav HaBa (meaning "The Next Star") made by Keshet Broadcasting Ltd. The program format lets viewers vote for contestants via mobile apps. It was filmed live in Los Angeles. The show is also carried in Canada, with advertising simultaneous substitution and voting access on CTV.

Jesse Kinch was the winner of Rising Star's first and only season with a vote of 76%. Macy Kate holds the record of highest vote with 93% and she came in 9th place. Rising Star did not make the Summer 2015 schedule.

Format

In contrast to other singing competition TV shows which feature a cast of celebrity judges, Rising Star features a cast of celebrity experts and considers the viewers at home the judges. During each performance, the audience at home was able to decide in real time whether or not a contestant was sent through to the next round by using a mobile voting app.

The growth–share matrix (aka the product portfolio, BCG-matrix, Boston matrix, Boston Consulting Group analysis, portfolio diagram) is a chart that was created by Bruce D. Henderson for the Boston Consulting Group in 1970 to help corporations to analyze their business units, that is, their product lines. This helps the company allocate resources and is used as an analytical tool in brand marketing, product management, strategic management, and portfolio analysis. Analysis of market performance by firms using its principles has recently called its usefulness into question.

Overview

To use the chart, analysts plot a scatter graph to rank the business units (or products) on the basis of their relative market shares and growth rates.

PS Rising Star was a paddle steamer warship, nicknamed the Rising Sun. It was a revolutionary design that included twin funnels and an internal retractable paddle wheel. She was the first ever British steam warship to cross the Atlantic from east to west, in 1821.

She was built in Rotherhithe for Thomas Cochrane (later tenth Earl of Dundonald). Cochrane, a Scot who had a very high reputation as a superior seaman, aimed to construct a warship that would eliminate the differences in capability between the Chilean and the Spanish naval forces. Cochrane intended the vessel to be used as a steam warship within the Chilean War of Independence. He made efforts to conceal the ship's real purpose, to be used to sail to the North Pole.

Propulsion and guns

She was driven by a centerline paddle wheel powered by engines of 70 n. h. p., of twin cylinders which were constructed by Maudslay and Sons and Field.

Cochrane was excited about the prospect of a ship that did not have to depend on the wind for power and he contributed ₤3000 of his own money into the venture. Edward Ellice, a South-America trader, supplied ₤4000.
