Good Singers
(Format, Entertainment) Challenges celebrity teams to distinguish great vocalists from untalented performers without hearing them sing. Twelve contestants perform over four rounds. In this musical investigation game show, two celebrity teams go head-to-head and seek to win money for their charity of choosing. The celebrities have one goal: to distinguish the fakes from the genuine singers: do they sing like a diva or like a strangled cat? Do they have what it takes to identify the Good Singers?
