I Can See Your Voice franchise

Qui sait chanter? (English: Who can sing?)[1] is a Canadian French-language television mystery music game show series based on the South Korean program I Can See Your Voice, in the province of Quebec. It premiered on Noovo on 13 September 2021,[2][3] and has been aired for two seasons.

Gameplay

[edit]

Format

[edit]

Presented with a group of six "mystery singers", a guest artist and a contestant 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 contestant must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each round, receiving a petty cash[a] if they eliminate a bad singer. At the end of a game, the contestant may either end the game and keep the money they had won in previous rounds, or risk it for a chance to win CA$25,000 by correctly guessing whether the last remaining mystery singer is good or bad.

Rounds

[edit]

Lip sync rounds

[edit]

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. At the conclusion of performances, the contestant eliminates one mystery singer from each group.

  • Playback (French: Relecture)
    • s1: Divided into two groups of three mystery singers, each of them have to perform a lip sync of their own.
    • s2: A pair of mystery singers perform a lip sync of their own through a showdown.

Evidence round

[edit]
  • Access code (French: Code d'accès)
s1–2: The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video package containing possible clues by one of the mystery singers.

Rehearsal round

[edit]
  • Secret studio (French: Studio secret)
s1: The guest artist and contestant are presented with video from a recording session by one of the mystery singers, but pitch-shifted to obscure their actual vocals.

Interrogation round

[edit]
  • Interrogation (French: Interrogatoire)
s2: The guest artist and contestant may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.
