Gameplay

Format

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.

The winning mystery singer, regardless of being good or bad, gets a reward on the following conditions:

• If a singer is good, they;
  • s1–2: will have to perform again at the encore concert.
  • s3–7: will have chance to grant a potential contract on any recording label.
• If a singer is bad, they win a cash prize.^[a]

Rounds

Visual rounds

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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.
