Presented with a group of seven "mystery singers", a guest artist and a group of two contestants 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 four rounds. 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.

If the singer is good, the contestants win a cash prize;[a] if the singer is bad, the same amount is given to the bad singer instead.
