For this season, one episode was completed before production was halted due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[1] In August 2020, Fox resumed production with no audience under enhanced health and safety protocols being implemented, becoming one of the network's first non-scripted series to do so.[2]
Gameplay edit
Format edit
Under the original format, the contestant can eliminate one or two mystery singers after each round. The game concludes with the last mystery singer standing which depends on the outcome of a duet performance with a guest artist.[3]
Rewards edit
The contestant must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each of first five rounds, receiving $10,000 if they eliminate a bad singer. At the end of the game, the contestant may either end the game and keep the money they had won in previous rounds, or risk it for a chance to win $100,000 by correctly guessing whether the last remaining mystery singer is good or bad.[4]
Rounds edit
Each episode presents the guest artist and contestant with six people whose identities and singing voices are kept concealed until they are eliminated to perform on the "stage of truth" or remain in the end to perform the final duet.
- Lip Sync Challenge
The mystery singers are divided into two groups of three, and participate in a lip sync performance to one song each. At the conclusion of the performances, the contestant eliminates one performer from each group. - Unlock my Life
The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video package in which one of the mystery singers of their choice discusses their life and musical qualifications. - Secret Studio
The guest artist and contestant are presented with video from a recording session by one of the mystery singers of their choice, but pitch-shifted to obscure their actual vocals. - Interrogation
The guest artist and contestant may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.
