Gameplay
Format
Presented with a group of "mystery singers" 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 several 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.[lower-alpha 1]
Rewards
The winning mystery singer is awarded on the following conditions:
- If the singer is good:
- From first to second season, he/she will perform again in the post-season encore concert episode.
- Since the third season, he/she will have chance to get a potential contract and a single on any record label.
- If the singer is bad, he/she wins RM3,000 (from first to fourth, and sixth season) and then RM5,000 (for the fifth season).
Rounds
- Visual round
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.[lower-alpha 2][lower-alpha 3]
Each mystery singer is given two different identities — as a good singer and as a bad singer. Only one of them is their real identity.[lower-alpha 4][lower-alpha 5][lower-alpha 6][lower-alpha 7]
- Lip sync round
Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song. Good singers mime to a recording of their own performance, while bad singers mime to a recording by someone else.[lower-alpha 2][lower-alpha 3]
The mystery singer lip syncs to the good singer's recording, then a bad singer's recording comes in the middle of the performance.[lower-alpha 4][lower-alpha 5][lower-alpha 6][lower-alpha 7]
- Evidence round
The guest artist is presented with a video package featuring a "super fan" of one of the mystery singers.[lower-alpha 3][lower-alpha 4]
The host has randomly assigned clues about the mystery singer. The guest artist must choose a clue for each mystery singer.[lower-alpha 4]
- Rehearsal round
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.[lower-alpha 2][lower-alpha 3][lower-alpha 5][lower-alpha 6][lower-alpha 7]
