Gameplay
Format
A guest artist is presented with a group of six "mystery singers" (as SEE-cret songers) — some of them are good singers, and some are bad. The artist must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the group by guessing who they are without hearing them sing. They get assistance from clues by "celebrity panelists" (dubbed the SING-vestigators) over the course of three rounds. The artist will eliminate one to two singers at the end of each round and then proceed to perform on the "stage of truth". At the end, the winning mystery singer is revealed as good (SEE-nger) or bad (SEE-ntunado) by means of a duet with one of the guest artists.[1][2]
Rewards
At the end of every round, the eliminated mystery singer gets a consolation prize starting with ₱5,000 for the first round, ₱10,000 for the second round, and ₱15,000 for the third round. If the last mystery singer is a good singer, the guest artist gets an award (as Eyeward) and he/she will compete at Tawag ng Tanghalan. The winning singer, regardless of being good or bad, receives a cash prize of ₱25,000.
Rounds
There are six individuals or groups of mystery singers standing on a platform to keep identities concealed until the "stage of truth" performance.
- Visual round
- Stop, Looks, and Listen
The guest artist is given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance. Afterward, a muted video of each mystery singer reveals only 0.3 seconds of their singing voice as an additional hint.[lower-alpha 1][lower-alpha 2]
- Two or False
Each mystery singer is given two different identities — as a good singer and as a bad singer. Only one of them is their real identity.[lower-alpha 2][lower-alpha 3]
- Lip sync round
- The Voice is Syncing
Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song. Good singers mime to their own voices while bad singers mime to the voices of others.[lower-alpha 1][lower-alpha 2]
- Sync Zoned
Each mystery singer performs a lip sync from a non-lyrical part of a song (i.e. screams, whistles, interjections, etc.).[lower-alpha 1]
- Everybody Sync
Separated into two groups, each group of mystery singers participate in a short lip sync performance for one song each.[lower-alpha 3]
- Evidence round
- I Like to Prove It! Prove It!
A proof of each mystery singer's singing ability (i.e. photo, video, certificates, etc.) is shown on the screen.[lower-alpha 1]
- Rehearsal round
- Play it by Hear
Three random panelists must wear headphones to listen to the mystery singer's real voice for 15 seconds. Afterward, the panelist must defend the mystery singer and convince the guest artist to choose him/her as the final mystery singer.[lower-alpha 1][lower-alpha 2][lower-alpha 3]
