(The suspense about whether or not “Stylist” Telvin Lewis was a good or bad singer was ruined for me, since I’d already seen him sing on Sing On! just last week.)ĭuring this time, there’s an on-screen graphic that flips from “bad” to “good” before stopping on the answer when the person starts singing. The singers build a little suspense-in the first episode, the “Golfer,” Jamie Hosmer, sat at a piano and started playing, while “Counselor” Maurniece Gayles had a great moment where she seemed like she was going to start singing, and then didn’t. The best part of I Can See Your Voice are the reveals, and the format gives us six of those in one hour. Host Ken Jeong is just fine at filling that time with banter, though he was really helped, in episode one, by contestant Shannon Davis, who could host a show herself, that’s how great she is at talking through her decisions (even when they seemed bizarre). The game is overly complicated, right up to the end, where the contestant has to decide whether to keep the money they’ve earned ($10,000 for each bad singer they’ve eliminated in the previous rounds) or gamble on the $100,000 for their final guess.

“Unlock My Life” is a bio clip package, produced, as all reality TV clip packages are, so even one that’s full of fake information about the singer’s life would probably seem plausible.There’s very little to be learned in the subsequent rounds: Are they hitting the notes? Are they trying to hide their lips? Does the voice match our sense of who they are? The good singers are lip syncing to their own recorded voice the bad singers are, of course, lip syncing to someone else’s voice. The first round of I Can See Your Voice is the best, as it has the singers lip sync. To fill an hour, this has been stretched out into multiple rounds, where the contestant gets to choose one singer and learn a little more.

There’s a celebrity panel on hand to give advice, but often as useless as The Masked Singer’s celebrity panel was at the beginning-although since they’ve gotten better, maybe this one will too. A contestant gets $10,000 for eliminating a bad singer, and $100,000 for correctly identifying whether the last person standing is a good or bad singer. There are six people, some of whom are great singers and some of whom are not.



But it has such an awkward title that Fox has added this subtitle on promos: “Mystery Music Show.” Its title is just the start of how convoluted it can get, despite the fact that it’s really just a simple guessing game. I Can See Your Voice is another format from South Korea like The Masked Singer, and it’s obvious why Fox paired them together. That’s not all the two shows have in common: Both have taken a really fun guessing game and wrapped it in unnecessary filler, making both shows too long for the content they have. (He was also on American Idol season 15, the final season that aired on Fox.) The very last singer on the first episode of Fox’s I Can See Your Voice, Telvin Lewis, was one of the singers featured on the premiere of Netflix’s Sing On.
