Announcer:
Ladies and gentlemen,
dr. Ken jeong.
Thank you.
Thank you. Good evening.
Hidden away
in the darkness behind me
are six secret voices,
all claiming
to be incredible singers.
However, some of them
are fakers
with voices so bad
that they actually can kill
up to 99.9%
of household germs.
Welcome to america's
brand-new guessing game,
"I can see your voice!"
through a series of clues...
Lip sync challenge!
Secret studio.
Interrogation.
- Girl, you know you lying.
- ♪ liar
and without ever hearing them
sing a note...
I don't even think
he has vocal cords.
Okay, please,
let me tell the jokes.
I'm feeling insecure.
Could you identify
bad singers...
( wailing )
♪ like this hurt me before
...From good singers?
( vocalizing )
let me finish.
Helping tonight's contestant
win $100,000 are
yvette nicole brown,
robin thicke,
cheryl hines,
adrienne houghton,
and music superstar
jesse mccartney.
Get ready to play
"I can see your voice,"
where spotting terrible talent
can make you rich.
Ken:
All right.
Welcome
to "I can see your voice."
oh, my god, give it up
for our glamorous panel
of celebrity detectives.
- Yeah.
- Whoo!
Let's meet tonight's contestant.
Hoping to take home $100,000,
meet emily from san diego,
california!
- Hi, guys!
- Hey, emily!
Hi, emily.
Oh, emily.
Welcome to "I can
see your voice."
I heard you are
a new mother.
- I am. Yes, thank you so much.
- Am I right? Congratulations.
Yeah, his name's carson.
He's 4 months old.
He's a quarantine baby.
That's the thing now.
Stay at home,
shelter in place...
( imitates baby crying )
emily: Yeah.
And I work as an occupational
therapist.
So I work
with special needs kids.
Give it up.
Oh, my god.
Ot is one of the hardest,
most fulfilling jobs ever.
- Really, thank you
for all you do.
- It's really nice.
I love it.
I understand you have
something special
you want to use the money for
if you win.
I do.
So, since I work in the schools,
I really want to get together
some kits with little therapy
supplies
and send them home to my
students,
um, since we're doing
distance learning,
so they continue
to progress to learn, yeah.
Wow.
Emily! Emily! Emily!
- Whoo!
- Fingers crossed.
Come on, guys.
We're bringing our a game.
Even robin.
He looked at a mirror
like extra long today for this,
so he's focused.
All the help I can get.
Ken:
Okay, emily, pay attention.
The good singers
will be telling the truth,
but the bad singers
could be lying about anything.
You have to find and eliminate
the bad singers
who are trying to fool you.
So let's get
the investigation going
and reveal those secret voices.
Number one, it's surfer.
Growing up surfing
the waves in hawaii,
singing was the only thing
that could drag this self-taught
musician out of the water.
I don't think she's holding
the microphone the right way,
so I'm gonna say
she's a bad singer.
Ken:
Number two, it's the poet.
This published poet
and songwriter
has written songs
for toni braxton
and heather headley.
- Those are big artists.
- Huge.
Ken:
Number three,
it's broadway belter.
He sang backup vocals
for james corden
in the hit movie
"peter rabbit."
he's got this irish
lumberjack thing going on.
Ken:
Number four, it's harpist.
She's played harp
in her family's traveling band
since the 7th grade
and leads her parish
in song at church.
She looks like she's heavenly
and in touch with the lord.
Ken: Number five,
it's singer-songwriter.
This small town boy
just made a name for himself
performing at
the world-famous troubadour.
He looks like
he may have, like,
google-imaged, like, what
a pop star should look like.
Yvette:
Yeah, that's what I feel.
Ken:
Number six, it's the boxer.
She's an amateur boxer,
but with her three-octave range,
she's hoping to land
her biggest hit.
She's just got
a bomb stance,
but that might
just be it.
Well, here are the rules.
There are six secret voices
up on that stage.
But you'll never know
exactly how many good
or how many bad singers
there will be.
Your job, emily, is to use clues
to eliminate the bad singers.
For each one you eliminate,
you will earn $10,000.
Whoo, that'd be nice,
that'd be nice.
And by the end of the show,
you want to have eliminated
all of the bad singers
so the last one standing
is a good singer.
Why? Because
if they're a good singer,
you could win $100,000.
That would be amazing.
Let us now get
into the investigation
with our first three-way
lip sync challenge.
And, just so you know,
all of our good singers
will be lip syncing
to their own voices.
But pay attention,
because all of the bad singers
will be lip syncing
to someone else's great voice.
See if you can tell
which is which.
Get ready for lip sync
challenge number one.
- Singing britney spears'
"stronger"...
- Yes.
...It's surfer, poet,
and broadway belter.

♪ there's nothing
you can do or say, baby ♪

oh, wow, wow.
Ken: Wow!
Give it up for the surfer,
the poet,
and the broadway belter!
What a way
to kick off the show.
- Wow.
- Ken: Emily,
what do you think?
Wow, this is tough.
Broadway belter.
He's got some jazz moves there,
so I don't know!
- A little spirit fingers.
- A little spirit fingers.
I don't know, what do
you guys think about him?
Like, he's kind of
my toss-up. I'm not sure.
No, I think
he's a good singer.
Emily:
You think he's a good singer?
To me, it looked like
it was coming out of his body.
That looked like
a real performance to me.
He was just chopping that wood,
that lumberjack.
Just chop, chop, chop.
He's got, like, the line
of somebody who looks like
they've been onstage before,
you know?
Adrienne:
Okay, I don't want
to be negative nancy,
but we've seen people
come out here
that are phenomenal
performers...
That's true.
That doesn't always mean
that they're a good vocalist.
True.
Ken: What do you think
about the poet?
Yvette:
You know, if she is a singer
and this is her chance
to step out front,
she would've been able
to bring it
and everything would've
connected,
but she did not.
I think she's a bad singer.
No, I don't--
I disagree with that.
- Do you?
- Yeah, I do.
Because it sounded to me
like that was her voice.
- And, I mean,
if she hasn't--
- ( applause )
I don't know why y'all clapping.
I don't agree.
If she has been
sort of behind the scenes
as a songwriter,
maybe she's not that comfortable
onstage yet.
But after being
in the studio for many years
with writers and,
like-- writers have swagger.
They have so much swag.
They come in, they dance
with you, they move with you.
- Oh, really?
- They come up with words.
So, I just-- what I got
from her was she's not a singer.
That's my gut opinion.
Wow, for the first time
in my life,
I heard something from you
that made sense.
Yeah!
The surfer, I feel like
she was over-enunciating
a little bit.
I don't think she hit
every run.
- I don't either.
- Not at all.
I'm a side-singer, too,
so I paid attention to that.
Side singing?
What does that mean,
for the uninitiated?
Some people, in order
for them to get certain sounds
out of their mouth,
you'll do a--
oh, yeah, you change
your mouth a little bit.
You change your mouth.
But the vocal I was hearing
wasn't side--
the vocal matched.
The vocal looked like
it was hers, though.
- You do?
- To you, robin?
Not to me.
Jesse:
I agree with adrienne.
I actually disagree
with robin on this one.
She just wasn't
following the notes.
- Her face wasn't doing
what the notes were doing.
- Yvette: Right.
- So I would say,
for the surfer, bad singer.
- I agree.
- Emily, lot of mixed
opinions throughout.
- Yeah, I don't know--
I mean...
It is time
to make a decision.
Ooh!
In front of you,
you will see each secret
voice's name and number.
- Mm-hmm.
- So tap on the one
you want to eliminate
and then lock it in.
I mean, I'm thinking
the surfer is still
a good singer.
I think she seemed
pretty natural up there.
And then the broadway belter,
I don't know,
'cause you guys had
some really good points
about the-- he can dance
but he may not sing.
Um, the poet, maybe not
as comfortable on the stage.
I think the poet
is the bad singer.
I'm gonna lock that one in.
Okay, lock it in.
- Whoo.
- Okay, all right.
- You did good.
- Whoo!
Poet, get ready
because you're about
to perform for us
and show us
what you've been hiding.
Now, emily, have you
identified a bad singer
and made a cool $10,000?
Not yet.
- Hopefully, maybe.
- You asked.
Let me finish.
Or a good singer
and banked nothing?
And, remember, bad is good,
good is bad.
- So, poet, let's...
- All: See your voice!
Adrienne:
Guys, they're bringing
out a piano.
Uh-oh.
- Cheryl: Uh-oh.
- Oh, does she look
comfortable at the piano?
- Yeah.
- She does look comfortable
at the piano.
She's staring us down.
This doesn't look good.
I don't like it.
( screeching )
♪ oh, I wanna dance
with somebody ♪
you did it!
♪ I wanna feel the heat
with somebody ♪
♪ yeah, I wanna dance
with somebody ♪
sing your heart's
song, girl.
♪ with somebody who loves me!
Ken:
That made my ears bleed,
which is why we love you.
You just won emily $10,000
for that abomination.
Great start, emily.
Poet, time to come clean.
Was any of that
true at all?
I do write songs,
movies, books,
but I just
don't sing songs.
- Okay.
- Wow.
Let's give it up
for the poet!
Don't go anywhere.
After the break, we'll be
getting a closer look
at our next batch
of secret voices,
and you never know, maybe even
earning emily $100,000.
- Let's go.
- America, who do you think
emily should eliminate next?
Get involved. This is
"I can see your voice,"
only on fox.
Ten k in the bank.
Let's go.
Welcome back
to "I can see your voice,"
the only show
where spotting terrible talent
can make you really rich.
Emily, before the break,
you eliminated poet
and won $10,000.
Remember, your goal is to find
as many bad singers as you can,
because if the last singer
standing is good,
you could win $100,000.
It is time for our second
lip sync challenge.
Singing imagine dragons'
"believer,"
give it up for harpist,
singer-songwriter,
and boxer.

ken: Wow!
- Emily: Wow.
- Harpist, singer-songwriter,
and boxer.
I was getting a whole
"my heart will go on" vibe
from the harpist.
- Same.
- She kind of does this
harpist by day, moonlights
as a cardi b fan at night,
you know what I mean?
She was over here, like,
giving all of this,
and I was like,
"that's what we doing
in church these days?
That's how we worshipping
the lord?"
I do think that the harpist
is a singer,
and I'll tell you why.
On the two and the four
of the beat,
she was popping
her body with it,
so I believe she's been
around music a long time.
The singer-songwriter,
I did not believe.
And, listen, some people
are great singers,
but they don't have
a lot of stage presence.
I believe he was
trying to sell it.
I just didn't want to buy
what he was selling.
He kind of felt
a little awkward onstage.
I felt like they knew
jesse was gonna be
on the show today
and they felt he needed
to be represented.
They said he had performed
at the troubadour.
He must may be an amateur
singer-songwriter
who's just finding his way.
I think he makes a mean
abercrombie poster,
but I don't think the
singer-songwriter's a singer.
The boxer looks like
she just smashes hits.
She also, I thought,
did a pretty good job
at lip syncing.
Did anybody notice that
at the end,
there was a long note
and she dropped her mic
way before the song finished.
- I did see that.
- She already won that round.
Robin thicke!
If she's a boxer
and a singer,
I mean, do you really
want people punching you
in your jaw?
What are you, her coach?
I mean, come on.
I'm worried about her.
I'm gonna say she's
a bad singer.
- Emily, it is time
to make a decision.
- Ooh.
( sighs )
all right.
The harpist, she seemed like
she was on cue,
it seemed like
it matched her voice.
And the boxer,
she did drop her mic,
I noticed that as well.
It could go either way on her.
Singer-songwriter,
just off the bat,
it just seemed
so over the top.
Um, he didn't really seem
like he was singing with it,
so he's the bad singer.
I'm gonna lock that in.
- Whoo!
- Wow.
Ken:
Emily, have you correctly
identified a bad singer
and made yourself
another $10,000?
Whoo! Let's hope so.
Singer-songwriter,
let's...
All:
See your voice!
- Mm.
- Oh, I hope he's bad.
( music playing )
oh, now-- now he wants
to look comfortable singing.
Oh, now he's got
the swag down? What's up?
( shouting )
♪ so I put my hands up,
they're playing my song ♪
♪ the butterflies fly away
♪ nodding my head like, yeah
♪ moving my hips like, yeah
♪ I put my hands up,

♪ it's a party in the usa
♪ yeah, yeah
♪ it's a party in the usa!
Wow!
Singer-songwriter,
tell me about yourself.
I am actually an actor
and an author
of a children's book.
And you never performed
at the troubadour?
Up until 15 minutes ago,
I didn't even know
what the troubadour was.
Get out of my house.
Get out of my house.
Give it up
for the singer-songwriter.
Emily, you have eliminated
two bad singers.
- I know!
- Zero good singers,
bringing your total
to $20,000.
It's crazy. It's crazy.
Yes, emily!
You still have
four remaining secret voices
left to choose from.
You want answers,
I want answers,
america wants answers,
so let's get those answers
after the break.
This is
"I can see your voice."
welcome back
to "I can see your voice,"
the show which asks
whether you can tell
good singers from bad
without ever
hearing them sing.
Emily, you still have
four remaining
secret voices
left to choose from,
and, remember,
your goal is to eliminate
as many bad singers as you can,
because if the last one
standing's a good singer,
you could win $100,000.
Now, in order to reveal
some more clues about our
remaining secret voices,
I, ken jeong,
have stolen their phones,
but you only get
to look inside one.
So let's play unlock my life!
Emily, what you will see
is an exclusive video
from inside
the secret voice's phone,
revealing vital pieces of
personal information
about themselves,
all with their voice
slightly altered.
So, who do you
want to hear from?
You know, I don't think
I want to go through
the harpist's phone.
I really have a good feeling
that she is a good singer.
And the broadway belter,
I think he's a good singer
just from his moves.
And the surfer,
I'm thinking she's still
a good singer as well.
You know, I'm leaning
towards the boxer,
just kind of
from her lip syncing round
of pulling away the mic.
And I think I'm gonna go with
the boxer.
Now, remember, the good singers
will be telling the truth,
but the bad singers
could be lying about anything.
Let us find out
what boxer is all about.
( bell dings )
( distorted )
right before I started
law school,
I signed up for boxing
because I needed an outlet.
My coaches ended up actually
being really impressed
and thought
that I should start training
to be an amateur boxer.
Boxing has definitely
made me a better singer.
Boxing is all about rhythm,
so there's definitely
that performance aspect to it.
I-I believe
she might have it.
The best part about singing
and performing for me
is when I can get
an emotional reaction
from the listener.
To me, that connection,
that's what singing
and what music is all about.
That made it a lot harder.
The picture of her
holding the microphone
could've been something
to do with law.
She wasn't making
a singer's expression.
She didn't-- if they wanted to
show her singing anything,
they would have shown
her actually singing.
My gut tells me
that she's not a singer.
Also, why be a singer
if you're smart enough
to be a lawyer?
Hey, I take--
I take that personal.
Those who can't act, sing,
and those who can't sing, host.
Ken:
Oh, I love it.
I don't think that
she has to be pursuing
singing professionally
to be a good singer
tonight on this stage.
Emily, it is time
to make a decision.
Whoo, okay.
You know, watching that video,
you guys had some
really good points to bring up.
You know, I think maybe that
mic picture in there
is just her giving a speech.
And her pulling away the mic?
Whew, I'm gonna say
the boxer is the bad singer.
I'm gonna lock that one in.
I got it.
- She looks very angry.
- Yeah, she's mad.
- Now, boxer, let's...
- All: See your voice!
Oh, gosh.
Please be a bad singer.
( music playing )
( judges groan )
adrienne: I hate-- when they
come in with the ballads,
it stresses me out.
♪ at last
no.
She can do it all.
♪ my love has come along
♪ my lonely days are over
damn.
♪ and life is like a song
♪ oh, I found a thrill
♪ to press my cheek to
♪ a thrill that I
- ♪ have never known
- wow, wow, wow.
♪ oh, yeah
♪ at last
- whoo!
- Man.
- Wow! Wow!
- Oh, my goodness!
Boxer, how could you
be so cruel?
I would like to say
that I knew.
- I was correct.
- I feel the same way.
I need to listen
to you more often.
Boxer, what made you
decide to do the show?
So, the lawyer in me
really loved, like,
the mystery
and the evidence aspect.
And then the passion for music?
It was a no-brainer.
Outstanding.
So, please give it up
for the boxer.
Great job, sis.
All right, emily,
you missed out on $10,000,
leaving your total
still at $20,000.
But plenty of more
chances left.
Don't go anywhere.
This is "I can see your voice."
wow.
Welcome back
to "I can see your voice."
emily, you have now
eliminated one good singer
and two bad singers,
leaving you
with three remaining secret
voices to choose from--
surfer, broadway belter,
and harpist.
None of us know
how many are good,
how many are bad.
So you still need
to watch your step
if you're gonna end up
with a good one
at the end
and win that $100,000.
- Yes!
- Well, this is my favorite
part of the show,
because it's time
for secret studio.
All right.
Emily, we sent all our voices
into our secret studio
to perform their best
solo whisper.
You'll be hearing
their real voice,
but just the breathy parts,
without any of that annoying
vocal cord vibration.
Who would you like to see
going into the secret studio?
The surfer, when she did
her lip syncing,
she seemed pretty
comfortable on the stage.
The harpist,
she is a mystery right now,
and it would be nice
to get a little bit more
information on her.
But then I come back
to the broadway belter.
Is it just
he's a good dancer
or is he a singer?
I'm gonna go broadway belter.
- All right. All right.
- I like it.
Emily, panel,
pay close attention.
If you listen carefully,
you might pick up
some vital clues.
It is broadway belter.
( music playing )
( whispering )
hey, diddle, diddle.
The cat and the fiddle.
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed
to see such sport
and the dish ran away
with the spoon.
- ( crowd cheering )
- whoa.
It was melodic.
It was melodic.
What?
I thought the outfit
was gonna make us uncomfortable.
Okay, I think
he's the real deal.
I thought he brought
a lot of personality to it,
which seems like that's
what a singer would do.
I think the quality
of his voice,
and the whisper was in line
with what I would think
he sounded like
if that was his real voice
when he was lip syncing.
Yeah, yeah.
I did think he loves broadway
and he had those moves,
he's got that big strong voice.
I think he's the real deal.
- Ken: Jesse?
- I'm still a little unsure,
I gotta be honest with you.
I thought, like,
the over the top, you know,
spirit fingers
in the beginning,
and the mr. Showmanship--
I wasn't buying it.
So you're-- oh, man.
Emily, it's time
to make a decision.
Remember,
you can eliminate
any of the three
secret voices still up there.
Okay, looking at
the broadway belter,
I think he has something there.
Um, I don't know if it's
the boots or something,
but he's making me think
he's a good singer.
He did have a good rhyme to
that "diddle, diddle" thing.
The harpist,
I don't know about her.
I kind of wish I did
a little video of her as well,
but just gonna go with my gut
and say the surfer.
I think she played us
in the lip syncing round,
just at how good
her lip syncing was.
So I'm gonna stick
with the surfer
and say that
she's a bad singer.
- I'm gonna lock it in.
- Okay.
Ken:
Emily, if you picked this right
and picked a bad singer,
you will pocket
another $10,000.
- Surfer, let's...
- All: See your voice!
Yvette: She's breathing
in her shoulders, not from
her diaphragm, though.
Singers breathe
from their diaphragm.

- Ken: Oh.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wow. Surfer!
Oh, that was shocking
and cruel.
It's okay, emily.
You just missed out
on $10,000,
leaving your total
still at $20,000.
What made you
want to do the show?
I always hide behind
an instrument, I feel.
Play guitar, I play ukulele,
I play piano.
- Wow.
- And this was an opportunity
for me to come out
and perform without one
and try to, like,
get my stage presence
on point.
- I love that.
- Give it up for surfer.
- Amazing job.
- Thank you, guys.
- Thank you.
- Emily, there are only
two secret voices left.
If one of these voices
is a good singer,
you could be in
for one huge payday.
It all depends
on your next decision...
After the break.
This is "I can see your voice,"
only on fox.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
emily, you now have
eliminated two good singers
and two bad singers.
You only have two
secret voices remaining.
They could both be bad.
They both could be good.
They could be one of each.
We just don't know.
Bottom line,
if there's a bad singer
up there,
you need to get rid
of them now.
It is time
for our final challenge.
It's interrogation.
You are about
to get the opportunity
to grill either one of our
remaining secret voices,
broadway belter or harpist.
You'll get 30 seconds
to ask them whatever you want,
but then you have to eliminate
one of them.
Who do you want to interrogate?
Broadway belter,
I'm thinking that's
a good singer.
And, harpist, I think I need
some more information on her.
I'm gonna do the harpist.
- Ken: Okay. Very good.
- Cheryl: Ooh, get ready.
Ken: Okay, harpist,
prepare yourself.
Emily, your 30 seconds
starts in three,
two, one, go.
What is your most
memorable performance?
Playing harp and singing
with jonathan mcreynolds
at the troubadour.
Emily: What makes you
a good singer?
Confidence, stage presence,
and vocal technique.
What would you classify
yourself as a singer?
- R&b and folk.
- Hmm, okay.
Um, why do you love music?
Because it speaks
louder than words.
How do you describe yourself,
your energy onstage?
- Light-hearted.
- Light-hearted?
( groans )
- oh, man.
- It's just not all
making sense to me.
Who pulls out
jonathan mcreynolds?
Yeah, there was also
something very rehearsed
about those responses.
"I like r&b and folk."
it was just very, like--
to me, I don't know
if I was buying it.
With the broadway belter,
I feel strongly about him
being a good singer
more than I feel strongly
that she is.
But I don't want you
to listen to me.
I didn't listen to you before
and I was wrong,
so, I mean, I don't know.
Robin:
The harpist is really tough.
When she said,
"I like to be very--"
- what was it?
- Light-hearted.
Light-hearted onstage,
I didn't get that
from her performance.
It is time to make a decision.
Not this again.
Oh, my goodness.
Who's it gonna be?
Broadway belter or harpist?
I mean, another 10k
would just be amazing.
Like, we would get
so much stuff for my students.
The broadway belter,
I mean, the lip syncing
and then
the "hey, diddle diddle," um,
I mean, my gut says
that you're a good singer
from that.
And then the harpist,
like, I don't think her story
kind of lines up.
I'm gonna say harpist.
She's a bad singer.
I'm gonna lock it in.
- Whoo! All right.
- Whoo.
Let's do this.
That means broadway belter
will be going through
to the finale.
Prepare yourself
because you're about
to duet with none other
than jesse mccartney,
so get ready.
Oh, the harp is coming out.
Yvette: Oh.
That's a professional seat, too.
Adrienne: That's true.
- Harpist, let's...
- All: See your voice!
She can play harp.
♪ this is my fight song
♪ take back my life song
- ♪ prove I'm all right song
- wow.
♪ my power's turned on
♪ starting right now,
I'll be strong ♪
♪ I'll play my fight song
♪ and I don't really care

wow. Wow.
Ken: Wow.
Harpist, I have never
heard something
so epic and pitch-perfect
for me to react like this.
Sadly, you did not win
the $10,000 on that one.
- I know.
- Leaving your total
at $20,000.
Harpist, what made
you want to do the show?
I love any opportunity
to use music to shine
light and hope.
- Oh, girl. Yes, girl.
- Jesse: You did.
You have such
a presence onstage,
I couldn't take
my eyes off of you.
Like, I wish we had another,
like, 30 minutes.
- We could watch a whole set.
- Amazing! Thank you.
Please give it up
for the harpist.
Emily, this is it.
We are down
to our last secret voice.
And if you have successfully
eliminated
all of the bad singers,
and if broadway belter
turns out to be a good singer,
you could be
taking home $100,000.
But first you've got
to make one of the biggest
decisions of your life...
After the break.
Don't go anywhere.
This is
"I can see your voice."
welcome back
to "I can see your voice."
we are down to our last
secret voice-- broadway belter.
Emily, it's time
to make your final
and biggest decision of all.
All game long,
you've been trying
to eliminate the bad singers
so that a good singer
is left standing up there
to duet
with jesse mccartney.
So now for the first time
in the game,
you are hoping broadway belter
is a good singer.
But here's the decision
you have to make.
You can either walk away
with the $20,000,
guaranteed to go home
with some real
life-changing money.
Or you can play on
for one final round.
And if broadway belter
turns out to be a good singer,
your winnings will shoot up
to $100,000.
However, if you get it wrong
and broadway belter
turns out to be a bad singer,
you will go home with nothing.
Panel, do you think
broadway belter
is a good
or a bad singer?
When we first saw him,
we were thrown off
by the outfit.
And then we saw him lip sync,
and he blew us out of the water.
He really seemed like
that was his voice.
I would play on.
If I was a gambling man,
I would say that
I actually do think that
he's a good singer.
However, I mean,
I'm not in your position.
You have $20,000 more
right at this moment than
you came here with.
That's a good--
I'd leave the casino.
$20,000 is so much money
and could really make
huge changes
for the kids
that you work with.
Give half there,
$10,000 even putting
towards a college fund.
The baby's just born.
18 years from now,
what will that be?
But at the same time,
I have the craziest feeling
to just say
he's a good singer
and that it might be worth the
risk.
Aah! I'm scared to say that.
- Yvette?
- No. Not participating.
- Come on, I need your help.
- Yvette. Yvette.
This is the time.
More than ever,
I need your help.
- Mm. Not gonna do it.
- Please. Please.
Yvette, you've been right
the most on this panel.
You've helped emily
out the most.
Okay.
Only you know
how you will feel
if you don't risk it
and he is a good singer
or how you'll feel
if you do risk it
if he is not a good singer.
So you need
to know yourself, girl,
and you need to make a decision
as to what you can live with.
Ken: Emily, which way
are you leaning?
It's rough.
$20,000 would be sufficient
to start my son's tuition
and to get them little
therapy kits for them
for distant learning.
I don't know if I can chance it.
Um, I want to so bad,
but I just--
I just-- I just--
I think I'm gonna walk
and take the 20k.
Yeah.
Good for you, emily.
- All right.
- Good job, emily.
- Emily! Whoo!
- It's okay. It's okay.
First of all,
give it up for emily.
You've been the most amazing
contestant tonight,
and you won $20,000.
That is yours.
But I am sure you and america
would love to find out
what would have happened
had you played on.
Let's find out.
Jesse, please go and join
broadway belter
on the stage of truth
for the grand duet finale.
If broadway belter
is a good singer,
you would've
taken home $100,000.
But if he is a bad singer,
then you made the right choice
because your money is safe.
Singing "beautiful soul,"
please make some noise
for the incredible
jesse mccartney
and broadway belter.

You can't

Ken:
Let's give it up for emily!
I want to thank
yvette nicole brown,
robin thicke,
cheryl hines,
adrienne houghton,
and especially
jesse mccartney.
Thank you all for watching.
Good night.
Ladies and gentlemen,
dr. Ken jeong.
Thank you.
Thank you. Good evening.
Hidden away
in the darkness behind me
are six secret voices,
all claiming
to be incredible singers.
However, some of them
are fakers
with voices so bad
that they actually can kill
up to 99.9%
of household germs.
Welcome to america's
brand-new guessing game,
"I can see your voice!"
through a series of clues...
Lip sync challenge!
Secret studio.
Interrogation.
- Girl, you know you lying.
- ♪ liar
and without ever hearing them
sing a note...
I don't even think
he has vocal cords.
Okay, please,
let me tell the jokes.
I'm feeling insecure.
Could you identify
bad singers...
( wailing )
♪ like this hurt me before
...From good singers?
( vocalizing )
let me finish.
Helping tonight's contestant
win $100,000 are
yvette nicole brown,
robin thicke,
cheryl hines,
adrienne houghton,
and music superstar
jesse mccartney.
Get ready to play
"I can see your voice,"
where spotting terrible talent
can make you rich.
Ken:
All right.
Welcome
to "I can see your voice."
oh, my god, give it up
for our glamorous panel
of celebrity detectives.
- Yeah.
- Whoo!
Let's meet tonight's contestant.
Hoping to take home $100,000,
meet emily from san diego,
california!
- Hi, guys!
- Hey, emily!
Hi, emily.
Oh, emily.
Welcome to "I can
see your voice."
I heard you are
a new mother.
- I am. Yes, thank you so much.
- Am I right? Congratulations.
Yeah, his name's carson.
He's 4 months old.
He's a quarantine baby.
That's the thing now.
Stay at home,
shelter in place...
( imitates baby crying )
emily: Yeah.
And I work as an occupational
therapist.
So I work
with special needs kids.
Give it up.
Oh, my god.
Ot is one of the hardest,
most fulfilling jobs ever.
- Really, thank you
for all you do.
- It's really nice.
I love it.
I understand you have
something special
you want to use the money for
if you win.
I do.
So, since I work in the schools,
I really want to get together
some kits with little therapy
supplies
and send them home to my
students,
um, since we're doing
distance learning,
so they continue
to progress to learn, yeah.
Wow.
Emily! Emily! Emily!
- Whoo!
- Fingers crossed.
Come on, guys.
We're bringing our a game.
Even robin.
He looked at a mirror
like extra long today for this,
so he's focused.
All the help I can get.
Ken:
Okay, emily, pay attention.
The good singers
will be telling the truth,
but the bad singers
could be lying about anything.
You have to find and eliminate
the bad singers
who are trying to fool you.
So let's get
the investigation going
and reveal those secret voices.
Number one, it's surfer.
Growing up surfing
the waves in hawaii,
singing was the only thing
that could drag this self-taught
musician out of the water.
I don't think she's holding
the microphone the right way,
so I'm gonna say
she's a bad singer.
Ken:
Number two, it's the poet.
This published poet
and songwriter
has written songs
for toni braxton
and heather headley.
- Those are big artists.
- Huge.
Ken:
Number three,
it's broadway belter.
He sang backup vocals
for james corden
in the hit movie
"peter rabbit."
he's got this irish
lumberjack thing going on.
Ken:
Number four, it's harpist.
She's played harp
in her family's traveling band
since the 7th grade
and leads her parish
in song at church.
She looks like she's heavenly
and in touch with the lord.
Ken: Number five,
it's singer-songwriter.
This small town boy
just made a name for himself
performing at
the world-famous troubadour.
He looks like
he may have, like,
google-imaged, like, what
a pop star should look like.
Yvette:
Yeah, that's what I feel.
Ken:
Number six, it's the boxer.
She's an amateur boxer,
but with her three-octave range,
she's hoping to land
her biggest hit.
She's just got
a bomb stance,
but that might
just be it.
Well, here are the rules.
There are six secret voices
up on that stage.
But you'll never know
exactly how many good
or how many bad singers
there will be.
Your job, emily, is to use clues
to eliminate the bad singers.
For each one you eliminate,
you will earn $10,000.
Whoo, that'd be nice,
that'd be nice.
And by the end of the show,
you want to have eliminated
all of the bad singers
so the last one standing
is a good singer.
Why? Because
if they're a good singer,
you could win $100,000.
That would be amazing.
Let us now get
into the investigation
with our first three-way
lip sync challenge.
And, just so you know,
all of our good singers
will be lip syncing
to their own voices.
But pay attention,
because all of the bad singers
will be lip syncing
to someone else's great voice.
See if you can tell
which is which.
Get ready for lip sync
challenge number one.
- Singing britney spears'
"stronger"...
- Yes.
...It's surfer, poet,
and broadway belter.

oh, wow, wow.
Ken: Wow!
Give it up for the surfer,
the poet,
and the broadway belter!
What a way
to kick off the show.
- Wow.
- Ken: Emily,
what do you think?
Wow, this is tough.
Broadway belter.
He's got some jazz moves there,
so I don't know!
- A little spirit fingers.
- A little spirit fingers.
I don't know, what do
you guys think about him?
Like, he's kind of
my toss-up. I'm not sure.
No, I think
he's a good singer.
Emily:
You think he's a good singer?
To me, it looked like
it was coming out of his body.
That looked like
a real performance to me.
He was just chopping that wood,
that lumberjack.
Just chop, chop, chop.
He's got, like, the line
of somebody who looks like
they've been onstage before,
you know?
Adrienne:
Okay, I don't want
to be negative nancy,
but we've seen people
come out here
that are phenomenal
performers...
That's true.
That doesn't always mean
that they're a good vocalist.
True.
Ken: What do you think
about the poet?
Yvette:
You know, if she is a singer
and this is her chance
to step out front,
she would've been able
to bring it
and everything would've
connected,
but she did not.
I think she's a bad singer.
No, I don't--
I disagree with that.
- Do you?
- Yeah, I do.
Because it sounded to me
like that was her voice.
- And, I mean,
if she hasn't--
- ( applause )
I don't know why y'all clapping.
I don't agree.
If she has been
sort of behind the scenes
as a songwriter,
maybe she's not that comfortable
onstage yet.
But after being
in the studio for many years
with writers and,
like-- writers have swagger.
They have so much swag.
They come in, they dance
with you, they move with you.
- Oh, really?
- They come up with words.
So, I just-- what I got
from her was she's not a singer.
That's my gut opinion.
Wow, for the first time
in my life,
I heard something from you
that made sense.
Yeah!
The surfer, I feel like
she was over-enunciating
a little bit.
I don't think she hit
every run.
- I don't either.
- Not at all.
I'm a side-singer, too,
so I paid attention to that.
Side singing?
What does that mean,
for the uninitiated?
Some people, in order
for them to get certain sounds
out of their mouth,
you'll do a--
oh, yeah, you change
your mouth a little bit.
You change your mouth.
But the vocal I was hearing
wasn't side--
the vocal matched.
The vocal looked like
it was hers, though.
- You do?
- To you, robin?
Not to me.
Jesse:
I agree with adrienne.
I actually disagree
with robin on this one.
She just wasn't
following the notes.
- Her face wasn't doing
what the notes were doing.
- Yvette: Right.
- So I would say,
for the surfer, bad singer.
- I agree.
- Emily, lot of mixed
opinions throughout.
- Yeah, I don't know--
I mean...
It is time
to make a decision.
Ooh!
In front of you,
you will see each secret
voice's name and number.
- Mm-hmm.
- So tap on the one
you want to eliminate
and then lock it in.
I mean, I'm thinking
the surfer is still
a good singer.
I think she seemed
pretty natural up there.
And then the broadway belter,
I don't know,
'cause you guys had
some really good points
about the-- he can dance
but he may not sing.
Um, the poet, maybe not
as comfortable on the stage.
I think the poet
is the bad singer.
I'm gonna lock that one in.
Okay, lock it in.
- Whoo.
- Okay, all right.
- You did good.
- Whoo!
Poet, get ready
because you're about
to perform for us
and show us
what you've been hiding.
Now, emily, have you
identified a bad singer
and made a cool $10,000?
Not yet.
- Hopefully, maybe.
- You asked.
Let me finish.
Or a good singer
and banked nothing?
And, remember, bad is good,
good is bad.
- So, poet, let's...
- All: See your voice!
Adrienne:
Guys, they're bringing
out a piano.
Uh-oh.
- Cheryl: Uh-oh.
- Oh, does she look
comfortable at the piano?
- Yeah.
- She does look comfortable
at the piano.
She's staring us down.
This doesn't look good.
I don't like it.
( screeching )
♪ oh, I wanna dance
with somebody ♪
you did it!
♪ I wanna feel the heat
with somebody ♪
♪ yeah, I wanna dance

song, girl.

Ken:
That made my ears bleed,
which is why we love you.
You just won emily $10,000
for that abomination.
Great start, emily.
Poet, time to come clean.
Was any of that
true at all?
I do write songs,
movies, books,
but I just
don't sing songs.
- Okay.
- Wow.
Let's give it up
for the poet!
Don't go anywhere.
After the break, we'll be
getting a closer look
at our next batch
of secret voices,
and you never know, maybe even
earning emily $100,000.
- Let's go.
- America, who do you think
emily should eliminate next?
Get involved. This is
"I can see your voice,"
only on fox.
Ten k in the bank.
Let's go.
Welcome back
to "I can see your voice,"
the only show
where spotting terrible talent
can make you really rich.
Emily, before the break,
you eliminated poet
and won $10,000.
Remember, your goal is to find
as many bad singers as you can,
because if the last singer
standing is good,
you could win $100,000.
It is time for our second
lip sync challenge.
Singing imagine dragons'
"believer,"
give it up for harpist,
singer-songwriter,
and boxer.

ken: Wow!
- Emily: Wow.
- Harpist, singer-songwriter,
and boxer.
I was getting a whole
"my heart will go on" vibe
from the harpist.
- Same.
- She kind of does this
harpist by day, moonlights
as a cardi b fan at night,
you know what I mean?
She was over here, like,
giving all of this,
and I was like,
"that's what we doing
in church these days?
That's how we worshipping
the lord?"
I do think that the harpist
is a singer,
and I'll tell you why.
On the two and the four
of the beat,
she was popping
her body with it,
so I believe she's been
around music a long time.
The singer-songwriter,
I did not believe.
And, listen, some people
are great singers,
but they don't have
a lot of stage presence.
I believe he was
trying to sell it.
I just didn't want to buy
what he was selling.
He kind of felt
a little awkward onstage.
I felt like they knew
jesse was gonna be
on the show today
and they felt he needed
to be represented.
They said he had performed
at the troubadour.
He must may be an amateur
singer-songwriter
who's just finding his way.
I think he makes a mean
abercrombie poster,
but I don't think the
singer-songwriter's a singer.
The boxer looks like
she just smashes hits.
She also, I thought,
did a pretty good job
at lip syncing.
Did anybody notice that
at the end,
there was a long note
and she dropped her mic
way before the song finished.
- I did see that.
- She already won that round.
Robin thicke!
If she's a boxer
and a singer,
I mean, do you really
want people punching you
in your jaw?
What are you, her coach?
I mean, come on.
I'm worried about her.
I'm gonna say she's
a bad singer.
- Emily, it is time
to make a decision.
- Ooh.
( sighs )
all right.
The harpist, she seemed like
she was on cue,
it seemed like
it matched her voice.
And the boxer,
she did drop her mic,
I noticed that as well.
It could go either way on her.
Singer-songwriter,
just off the bat,
it just seemed
so over the top.
Um, he didn't really seem
like he was singing with it,
so he's the bad singer.
I'm gonna lock that in.
- Whoo!
- Wow.
Ken:
Emily, have you correctly
identified a bad singer
and made yourself
another $10,000?
Whoo! Let's hope so.
Singer-songwriter,
let's...
All:
See your voice!
- Mm.
- Oh, I hope he's bad.
( music playing )
oh, now-- now he wants
to look comfortable singing.
Oh, now he's got
the swag down? What's up?
( shouting )

and an author
of a children's book.
And you never performed
at the troubadour?
Up until 15 minutes ago,
I didn't even know
what the troubadour was.
Get out of my house.
Get out of my house.
Give it up
for the singer-songwriter.
Emily, you have eliminated
two bad singers.
- I know!
- Zero good singers,
bringing your total
to $20,000.
It's crazy. It's crazy.
Yes, emily!
You still have
four remaining secret voices
left to choose from.
You want answers,
I want answers,
america wants answers,
so let's get those answers
after the break.
This is
"I can see your voice."
welcome back
to "I can see your voice,"
the show which asks
whether you can tell
good singers from bad
without ever
hearing them sing.
Emily, you still have
four remaining
secret voices
left to choose from,
and, remember,
your goal is to eliminate
as many bad singers as you can,
because if the last one
standing's a good singer,
you could win $100,000.
Now, in order to reveal
some more clues about our
remaining secret voices,
I, ken jeong,
have stolen their phones,
but you only get
to look inside one.
So let's play unlock my life!
Emily, what you will see
is an exclusive video
from inside
the secret voice's phone,
revealing vital pieces of
personal information
about themselves,
all with their voice
slightly altered.
So, who do you
want to hear from?
You know, I don't think
I want to go through
the harpist's phone.
I really have a good feeling
that she is a good singer.
And the broadway belter,
I think he's a good singer
just from his moves.
And the surfer,
I'm thinking she's still
a good singer as well.
You know, I'm leaning
towards the boxer,
just kind of
from her lip syncing round
of pulling away the mic.
And I think I'm gonna go with
the boxer.
Now, remember, the good singers
will be telling the truth,
but the bad singers
could be lying about anything.
Let us find out
what boxer is all about.
( bell dings )
( distorted )
right before I started
law school,
I signed up for boxing
because I needed an outlet.
My coaches ended up actually
being really impressed
and thought
that I should start training
to be an amateur boxer.
Boxing has definitely
made me a better singer.
Boxing is all about rhythm,
so there's definitely
that performance aspect to it.
I-I believe
she might have it.
The best part about singing
and performing for me
is when I can get
an emotional reaction
from the listener.
To me, that connection,
that's what singing
and what music is all about.
That made it a lot harder.
The picture of her
holding the microphone
could've been something
to do with law.
She wasn't making
a singer's expression.
She didn't-- if they wanted to
show her singing anything,
they would have shown
her actually singing.
My gut tells me
that she's not a singer.
Also, why be a singer
if you're smart enough
to be a lawyer?
Hey, I take--
I take that personal.
Those who can't act, sing,
and those who can't sing, host.
Ken:
Oh, I love it.
I don't think that
she has to be pursuing
singing professionally
to be a good singer
tonight on this stage.
Emily, it is time
to make a decision.
Whoo, okay.
You know, watching that video,
you guys had some
really good points to bring up.
You know, I think maybe that
mic picture in there
is just her giving a speech.
And her pulling away the mic?
Whew, I'm gonna say
the boxer is the bad singer.
I'm gonna lock that one in.
I got it.
- She looks very angry.
- Yeah, she's mad.
- Now, boxer, let's...
- All: See your voice!
Oh, gosh.
Please be a bad singer.
( music playing )
( judges groan )
adrienne: I hate-- when they
come in with the ballads,
it stresses me out.
♪ at last
no.
She can do it all.
♪ my love has come along
♪ my lonely days are over

- Oh, my goodness!
Boxer, how could you
be so cruel?
I would like to say
that I knew.
- I was correct.
- I feel the same way.
I need to listen
to you more often.
Boxer, what made you
decide to do the show?
So, the lawyer in me
really loved, like,
the mystery
and the evidence aspect.
And then the passion for music?
It was a no-brainer.
Outstanding.
So, please give it up
for the boxer.
Great job, sis.
All right, emily,
you missed out on $10,000,
leaving your total
still at $20,000.
But plenty of more
chances left.
Don't go anywhere.
This is "I can see your voice."
wow.
Welcome back
to "I can see your voice."
emily, you have now
eliminated one good singer
and two bad singers,
leaving you
with three remaining secret
voices to choose from--
surfer, broadway belter,
and harpist.
None of us know
how many are good,
how many are bad.
So you still need
to watch your step
if you're gonna end up
with a good one
at the end
and win that $100,000.
- Yes!
- Well, this is my favorite
part of the show,
because it's time
for secret studio.
All right.
Emily, we sent all our voices
into our secret studio
to perform their best
solo whisper.
You'll be hearing
their real voice,
but just the breathy parts,
without any of that annoying
vocal cord vibration.
Who would you like to see
going into the secret studio?
The surfer, when she did
her lip syncing,
she seemed pretty
comfortable on the stage.
The harpist,
she is a mystery right now,
and it would be nice
to get a little bit more
information on her.
But then I come back
to the broadway belter.
Is it just
he's a good dancer
or is he a singer?
I'm gonna go broadway belter.
- All right. All right.
- I like it.
Emily, panel,
pay close attention.
If you listen carefully,
you might pick up
some vital clues.
It is broadway belter.
( music playing )
( whispering )
hey, diddle, diddle.
The cat and the fiddle.
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed
to see such sport
and the dish ran away
with the spoon.
- ( crowd cheering )
- whoa.
It was melodic.
It was melodic.
What?
I thought the outfit
was gonna make us uncomfortable.
Okay, I think
he's the real deal.
I thought he brought
a lot of personality to it,
which seems like that's
what a singer would do.
I think the quality
of his voice,
and the whisper was in line
with what I would think
he sounded like
if that was his real voice
when he was lip syncing.
Yeah, yeah.
I did think he loves broadway
and he had those moves,
he's got that big strong voice.
I think he's the real deal.
- Ken: Jesse?
- I'm still a little unsure,
I gotta be honest with you.
I thought, like,
the over the top, you know,
spirit fingers
in the beginning,
and the mr. Showmanship--
I wasn't buying it.
So you're-- oh, man.
Emily, it's time
to make a decision.
Remember,
you can eliminate
any of the three
secret voices still up there.
Okay, looking at
the broadway belter,
I think he has something there.
Um, I don't know if it's
the boots or something,
but he's making me think
he's a good singer.
He did have a good rhyme to
that "diddle, diddle" thing.
The harpist,
I don't know about her.
I kind of wish I did
a little video of her as well,
but just gonna go with my gut
and say the surfer.
I think she played us
in the lip syncing round,
just at how good
her lip syncing was.
So I'm gonna stick
with the surfer
and say that
she's a bad singer.
- I'm gonna lock it in.
- Okay.
Ken:
Emily, if you picked this right
and picked a bad singer,
you will pocket
another $10,000.
- Surfer, let's...
- All: See your voice!
Yvette: She's breathing
in her shoulders, not from
her diaphragm, though.
Singers breathe
from their diaphragm.

oh, wow! Wow.
Whoo.
- Ken: Oh.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wow. Surfer!
Oh, that was shocking
and cruel.
It's okay, emily.
You just missed out
on $10,000,
leaving your total
still at $20,000.
What made you
want to do the show?
I always hide behind
an instrument, I feel.
Play guitar, I play ukulele,
I play piano.
- Wow.
- And this was an opportunity
for me to come out
and perform without one
and try to, like,
get my stage presence
on point.
- I love that.
- Give it up for surfer.
- Amazing job.
- Thank you, guys.
- Thank you.
- Emily, there are only
two secret voices left.
If one of these voices
is a good singer,
you could be in
for one huge payday.
It all depends
on your next decision...
After the break.
This is "I can see your voice,"
only on fox.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
emily, you now have
eliminated two good singers
and two bad singers.
You only have two
secret voices remaining.
They could both be bad.
They both could be good.
They could be one of each.
We just don't know.
Bottom line,
if there's a bad singer
up there,
you need to get rid
of them now.
It is time
for our final challenge.
It's interrogation.
You are about
to get the opportunity
to grill either one of our
remaining secret voices,
broadway belter or harpist.
You'll get 30 seconds
to ask them whatever you want,
but then you have to eliminate
one of them.
Who do you want to interrogate?
Broadway belter,
I'm thinking that's
a good singer.
And, harpist, I think I need
some more information on her.
I'm gonna do the harpist.
- Ken: Okay. Very good.
- Cheryl: Ooh, get ready.
Ken: Okay, harpist,
prepare yourself.
Emily, your 30 seconds
starts in three,
two, one, go.
What is your most
memorable performance?
Playing harp and singing
with jonathan mcreynolds
at the troubadour.
Emily: What makes you
a good singer?
Confidence, stage presence,
and vocal technique.
What would you classify
yourself as a singer?
- R&b and folk.
- Hmm, okay.
Um, why do you love music?
Because it speaks
louder than words.
How do you describe yourself,
your energy onstage?
- Light-hearted.
- Light-hearted?
( groans )
- oh, man.
- It's just not all
making sense to me.
Who pulls out
jonathan mcreynolds?
Yeah, there was also
something very rehearsed
about those responses.
"I like r&b and folk."
it was just very, like--
to me, I don't know
if I was buying it.
With the broadway belter,
I feel strongly about him
being a good singer
more than I feel strongly
that she is.
But I don't want you
to listen to me.
I didn't listen to you before
and I was wrong,
so, I mean, I don't know.
Robin:
The harpist is really tough.
When she said,
"I like to be very--"
- what was it?
- Light-hearted.
Light-hearted onstage,
I didn't get that
from her performance.
It is time to make a decision.
Not this again.
Oh, my goodness.
Who's it gonna be?
Broadway belter or harpist?
I mean, another 10k
would just be amazing.
Like, we would get
so much stuff for my students.
The broadway belter,
I mean, the lip syncing
and then
the "hey, diddle diddle," um,
I mean, my gut says
that you're a good singer
from that.
And then the harpist,
like, I don't think her story
kind of lines up.
I'm gonna say harpist.
She's a bad singer.
I'm gonna lock it in.
- Whoo! All right.
- Whoo.
Let's do this.
That means broadway belter
will be going through
to the finale.
Prepare yourself
because you're about
to duet with none other
than jesse mccartney,
so get ready.
Oh, the harp is coming out.
Yvette: Oh.
That's a professional seat, too.
Adrienne: That's true.
- Harpist, let's...
- All: See your voice!
She can play harp.
♪ this is my fight song
♪ take back my life song
- ♪ prove I'm all right song
- wow.
♪ my power's turned on
♪ starting right now,
I'll be strong ♪
♪ I'll play my fight song
♪ and I don't really care
if nobody else believes ♪
♪ 'cause I've still got
a lot of fight left in me ♪
wow. Wow.
Ken: Wow.
Harpist, I have never
heard something
so epic and pitch-perfect
for me to react like this.
Sadly, you did not win
the $10,000 on that one.
- I know.
- Leaving your total
at $20,000.
Harpist, what made
you want to do the show?
I love any opportunity
to use music to shine
light and hope.
- Oh, girl. Yes, girl.
- Jesse: You did.
You have such
a presence onstage,
I couldn't take
my eyes off of you.
Like, I wish we had another,
like, 30 minutes.
- We could watch a whole set.
- Amazing! Thank you.
Please give it up
for the harpist.
Emily, this is it.
We are down
to our last secret voice.
And if you have successfully
eliminated
all of the bad singers,
and if broadway belter
turns out to be a good singer,
you could be
taking home $100,000.
But first you've got
to make one of the biggest
decisions of your life...
After the break.
Don't go anywhere.
This is
"I can see your voice."
welcome back
to "I can see your voice."
we are down to our last
secret voice-- broadway belter.
Emily, it's time
to make your final
and biggest decision of all.
All game long,
you've been trying
to eliminate the bad singers
so that a good singer
is left standing up there
to duet
with jesse mccartney.
So now for the first time
in the game,
you are hoping broadway belter
is a good singer.
But here's the decision
you have to make.
You can either walk away
with the $20,000,
guaranteed to go home
with some real
life-changing money.
Or you can play on
for one final round.
And if broadway belter
turns out to be a good singer,
your winnings will shoot up
to $100,000.
However, if you get it wrong
and broadway belter
turns out to be a bad singer,
you will go home with nothing.
Panel, do you think
broadway belter
is a good
or a bad singer?
When we first saw him,
we were thrown off
by the outfit.
And then we saw him lip sync,
and he blew us out of the water.
He really seemed like
that was his voice.
I would play on.
If I was a gambling man,
I would say that
I actually do think that
he's a good singer.
However, I mean,
I'm not in your position.
You have $20,000 more
right at this moment than
you came here with.
That's a good--
I'd leave the casino.
$20,000 is so much money
and could really make
huge changes
for the kids
that you work with.
Give half there,
$10,000 even putting
towards a college fund.
The baby's just born.
18 years from now,
what will that be?
But at the same time,
I have the craziest feeling
to just say
he's a good singer
and that it might be worth the
risk.
Aah! I'm scared to say that.
- Yvette?
- No. Not participating.
- Come on, I need your help.
- Yvette. Yvette.
This is the time.
More than ever,
I need your help.
- Mm. Not gonna do it.
- Please. Please.
Yvette, you've been right
the most on this panel.
You've helped emily
out the most.
Okay.
Only you know
how you will feel
if you don't risk it
and he is a good singer
or how you'll feel
if you do risk it
if he is not a good singer.
So you need
to know yourself, girl,
and you need to make a decision
as to what you can live with.
Ken: Emily, which way
are you leaning?
It's rough.
$20,000 would be sufficient
to start my son's tuition
and to get them little
therapy kits for them
for distant learning.
I don't know if I can chance it.
Um, I want to so bad,
but I just--
I just-- I just--
I think I'm gonna walk
and take the 20k.
Yeah.
Good for you, emily.
- All right.
- Good job, emily.
- Emily! Whoo!
- It's okay. It's okay.
First of all,
give it up for emily.
You've been the most amazing
contestant tonight,
and you won $20,000.
That is yours.
But I am sure you and america
would love to find out
what would have happened
had you played on.
Let's find out.
Jesse, please go and join
broadway belter
on the stage of truth
for the grand duet finale.
If broadway belter
is a good singer,
you would've
taken home $100,000.
But if he is a bad singer,
then you made the right choice
because your money is safe.
Singing "beautiful soul,"
please make some noise
for the incredible
jesse mccartney
and broadway belter.
( music playing )
you ready, emily?
Oh, yeah.

You can't

You're going home

Ken:
Let's give it up for emily!
I want to thank
yvette nicole brown,
robin thicke,
cheryl hines,
adrienne houghton,
and especially
jesse mccartney.
Thank you all for watching.
Good night.
