Show Me Your Voice

Show Me Your Voice is a French television mystery music game show series based on the South Korean programme I Can See Your Voice. It premiered on M6 on 22 April 2021, and has aired for two seasons.

Gameplay

Format

Presented with a group of nine "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 several 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.

The contestants must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each round, receiving a designated cash value based on the number of bad singer eliminations. At the end of a game, if the contestants decide to walk away, they will keep the money had won in previous rounds; if they decide to risk for the last remaining mystery singer, they win €20,000 if a singer is good, or lose their all winnings if a singer is bad.

Rounds

Visual round

First impression (French: Première impression)
