'I Can See Your Voice': Musician Rick Springfield set to spot talent in Thanksgiving special as musical guest

While the bad singers are in for a ride, the good ones get a chance to show off their amazing talent in front of the whole world

Fox’s ‘I Can See Your Voice’ is a new game show that premiered this year and has already garnered over four million viewers. Each week one contestant has the chance to win a cash prize (up to $100,000) if he or she could tell the difference between good and bad singers, without ever hearing them sing a note. In each episode, there are six secret voices each with their own pseudonym, but nobody knows how many good singers and bad singers there are in the bunch. 

While the bad singers are in for a ride, the good ones get a chance to show off their amazing talent in front of the whole world. On the next episode, which is a Thanksgiving special, the show welcomes guest judge musician Rick Springfield to spot real singers from the rest.

The official handle of the show tweeted, “.@rickspringfield is ready to see if he can follow the clues and spot the talent. See how he does TOMORROW on Thanksgiving during an all-new #ICanSeeYourVoice after #TheMaskedSinger.” The singer also tweeted from his handle writing, "Be sure to catch me as the musical guest on the next episode of #ICanSeeYourVoice Thanksgiving Day 11/26 at 9/8c on FOX. @SeeYourVoiceFOX is going to be fun!"

The Australian musician and actor started his solo career with his debut single ‘Speak to the Sky’ reaching the top 10 in Australia in mid-1972. In 1981 his song ‘Jessie's Girl’ became No. 1 hit in both Australia and the US. He also received the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for the song. He followed the success with four more top 10 US hits: ‘I've Done Everything for You’, ‘Don't Talk to Strangers’, ‘Affair of the Heart', and ‘Love Somebody’. Springfield's two US top 10 albums are ‘Working Class Dog’ (1981) and ‘Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet’.

Apart from Rick Springfield, the show will have Taye Diggs and Deray Davis helping contestant Tillman Robinson win the grand prize. The undercover secret voices are Gamer, Musical Bars, Stuntman, Camp Counselor, Cruise Ship Singer and Copycat Katy.

In the last episode, we saw guest judges Joel McHale, Deon Cole and Jeff Dy help a contestant spot bad singers and eliminate them. Singer Adrienne Houghton and Cheryl Hines are permanent judges of the show along with the legendary Ken Jeong as host for the singing game show.

The judges helped contestant Heather from Los Angeles win $40,000. Heather, who was recently engaged wanted to win the money to have a big wedding. Her fiance came to support her and sat with the audience. Singer Adrianne took the stage for the last performance along with secret singer Tennis player to sing a pop version of the popular song ‘Footloose’. 

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