I Can See Your Voice franchise

Peesh ili luzhesh (Bulgarian: Пееш или лъжеш; English: Are you singing or lying?) is a Bulgarian television mystery music game show based on the South Korean programme I Can See Your Voice. It premiered on Nova on 3 November 2016.[3][4]

Gameplay

[edit]

Format

[edit]

Presented with a group of "mystery singers"[a] identified only by their occupation, a guest artist 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 the 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 singer, regardless of being good or bad, will perform again at the encore concert and gets a cash prize.[a]

Rounds

[edit]

Visual round

[edit]
  • 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.

Talent round

[edit]
  • The guest artist must describe one of the mystery singer's other talents, except "singing" itself. It may unrelated to the stage of truth, but it depends on their identity.

Lip sync round

[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.

Interrogation round

[edit]
  • The guest artist may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.
