'I Can See Your Voice': Adrienne Bailon owns the stage with ‘Footloose’ pop version, fans say 'she slayed it'

The final performance between Adrienne and the singer in disguise ‘Tennis Champ’ blew the viewers away as the duo sang a pop version of the hit musical ‘Footloose’

Host Ken Jeong is back with another episode of the 'I Can See Your Voice' game show that revolves around recognizing a bad singer. Wednesday's episode of the Fox show was a special one as it started with Host Ken taking the stage as he played piano and sang in his lovely voice and hilarious lyrics that we are guessing he must have written himself. The stars on the judging seat were Adrienne Bailon (who would also be singing for the final round with the last person standing), Joel McHale, Deon Cole, Jeff Dye and Cheryl Hines.

The final performance between Adrienne and the singer in disguise ‘Tennis Champ’ blew the viewers away as the duo sang a pop version of the hit musical ‘Footloose’.  “Yes, she was @AdrienneBailon! See you next week on Thanksgiving for an all-new #ICanSeeYourVoice,” tweeted the official handle of the show. “Adrienne and the Tennis Champ are doing a duet in the final. Heather chooses to go for the $40,000. She's going home with $40,000 because the Tennis Champ's singing scores an ace! #ICanSeeYourVoice,” wrote a fan of the show.

Another singer in disguise who appeared on the show was the Queen of Goth with a phenomenal voice but got the chop just before the final round. A viewer who was rooting for the goth queen wrote, “I knew the Tennis Champion was a good singer too but am I the only person who wanted the Queen of Goth to do the duet?” While another viewer wrote they “knew from the beginning” that Tennis champ was a good singer, “Called it from the beginning! Said she'd have been the one I'd have carried to the end, no matter what :) (Still prefer the new format to that one)”

Fans really liked Adrienne’s version of ‘Footloose’ as they wrote, “Ummm Adrienne's version of Footloose sounded kinda good. Where can I get that? #ICanSeeYourVoice.” Another wrote, “@AdrienneBailon YESSSSSSS QUEEN YOU SLAYED THAT!!!! And I see you wearing hot pink to represent the marvelous Flamingo #ICanSeeYourVoice”

In this episode, the rules and the prize amount were changed a little. With each round, the contestant still gets a chance to win $10,000. For the fifth round, the contestant has a chance at “double winning” for $20,000 if the singer they choose can actually sing and another $20,000 at the final round. It’s being speculated that the episode might have been actually shot as the pilot episode. 

Sharing a screenshot, a viewer wrote, “Turns out...IT IS! It is the pilot episode.“ Another viewer raised confusion writing, “Is #ICanSeeYourVoice doing well? They cut the grand prize from $100K to $40K between last week's show and tonight's!” Putting everyone’s concern to rest, the host of the show tweeted, saying, “this was the pilot ep pre-COVID. I promise next week it's back to normal! This was all @joelmchale's fault! He formatted tonight's show! #ICanSeeYourVoice”

'I Can See Your Voice' airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm ET on FOX.
