Gameplay

edit

Format

edit

Presented with a group of six "mystery singers", the guest artist(s) must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the group without ever hearing them sing, assisted by clues and a celebrity panel over the course of several rounds.[a] At the end of a game, the last remaining mystery singer is revealed as either good or bad by means of a duet between them and one of the guest artists.

A winning mystery singer is rewarded on following conditions:

  • If the singer is good, he/she will:
    • Perform again in an encore concert (for the first two seasons).
    • Have chance to get a potential contract and a single on any record label (from third to seventh season).
  • If the singer is bad, he/she wins RM3,000 (from first to fourth, and sixth to seventh season) or RM5,000 (for the fifth season).

Rounds

Visual rounds

edit
  • s1–2: 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 that reveals only 0.3 seconds of their singing voice is played as an additional hint.
  • s3–7: Each mystery singer is given two different identities as a good and bad singer, with one of them is a real identity.

Lip sync rounds

edit
  • s1–2: Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song; good singers mime to a recording of their own, while bad singers mime to a recording by someone else.
  • s3–7: The mystery singer lip syncs to the good singer's recording, then a bad singer's recording comes in the middle of the performance.

Evidence rounds

edit
  • s2–3: The guest artist is presented with a video package featuring a "super fan" by one of the mystery singers.
  • s3: The host has randomly assigned clues about the mystery singer, and then the guest artist must choose a clue for each one.

Rehearsal round

edit
  • s1–2, 4–7: Three random panelists are wearing headphones to listen to a recording of assigned mystery singer that lasts for 15 seconds. Afterward, the panelist defends the mystery singer and convince the guest artist to choose them as the winner.
