'I Can See Your Voice': Ross eliminates three good singers, does he stand a chance at winning $100,000?
Host Ken Jeong is back with another episode of the 'I Can See Your Voice' game show that revolves around recognizing a bad singer. Unlike 'The Masked Singer', this show has some bad singers that will do good to the contestants by allowing them to win big. To describe in Ken’s own words exactly how bad the bad singers actually are, “they are like a bunch of howling dogs.”
With bad and good singers taking the stage, it is upto the contestant to figure out who can sing. With six rounds for them to understand their voices, the show offers $10,000 for the first five stages and a chance to win $100,000 in the sixth round. In the latest episode, we have Ross who wants to raise money and awareness for his foundation that rescues whisker cats. The judges present Donny Osmond, Bob Saget, Finesse Mitchell, Cheryl Hines and Adrienne Houghton were immediately impressed with Ross’ cause as Adrienne said, “Now we have to make sure he wins.”
Six singers and non-singers were in their facade to fake it till the end, giving the participant or the judges no clue whatsoever. The first round saw three of them – ‘The choir director’, ‘The record label attack’ and ‘The pop princess’ lip-syncing to a song and the way they lip-sync will be the determining factor as to whether they can really sing or not. The ones with good voice lipsync to their own lovely voice while the rest lipsync to someone else’s lovely voice. It’s almost impossible to judge someone on the basis of gestures and facial expressions and even movements and tell whether they are a good singer or not. Different singers have different ways to sing and express themselves.
Listening to the judges’ advice the first person Ross decides to give the chop was ‘The choir director’. Turns out he is infact a choir director and can not only sing but can hit those higher notes with ease, thanks to his choir background. Ross lost $10,000 but that was just the beginning of his losing streak as the next two people he gives the chop also turn out to be fabulous singers. After losing three good singers, ‘The choir director’, ‘The Librarian’ and ‘The pop princess’, Ross was left with three people, the possibility of one of them being a good singer and to be able to perform with the legendary Donny Osmond at the end was very slim.
Ross, however, also eliminates two bad singers, ‘The record label attack’ and ‘Mr. Security’ who were so bad that they won him $10,000 each.
The last man standing for the final performance was ‘Ghost Hunter’ and Ross could either go big or go home. He had the chance to quit the show and leave with the money he won or stay and hope that the ‘Ghost Hunter’ had a good voice.
As it turns out the ‘Ghost Hunter’ was actually a bad singer and Ross ended up losing not only the prize money of $100,000 but also the $20,000 he won before. However, the judges encourage Americans to donate for his foundation and singer Donny Osmond assures him that he would be donating.
'I Can See Your Voice' airs on Wednesdays at 9 pm ET on FOX.
