Guest panelists Nicole Byer and Jeff Dye; one contestant performs with Robin Thicke.
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen,
Dr. Ken Jeong.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Good evening.
Up on our "I Can See Your Voice"
stage are six secret voices,
all claiming to be
professional‐grade singers.
However, some of them
are actually so bad
they'll make you want to hold
on to your loved ones
and pray for all of it
to be over.
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 lyin'.
‐ ♪ 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...
( off‐key )
♪ How do I get you alone?
...from good singers?
( vocalizing )
( chuckles )
Let me finish.
Helping tonight's contestant
attempt to win $100,000
are Nicole Byer, Jeff Dye,
Adrienne Houghton,
Cheryl Hines,
and back tonight
as our music superstar,
Robin Thicke.
Get ready to play
"I Can See Your Voice,"
where spotting terrible talent
can make you rich.
( crowd cheering )
All right, welcome to
"I Can See Your Voice."
And helping navigate
tonight's contestant
through this investigation
is our glamorous panel
‐ of celebrity detectives.
‐ Thank you, thank you,
thank you.
‐ Hey, Kenny.
‐ Are you ready for this,
TV's Robin Thicke?
I've sung with you before,
so I'm ready.
I'm taking that
as a compliment.
Thank you very much.
Now let's meet
tonight's contestant
hoping to take home $100,000,
Steven from California.
Whoo!
Hi.
How ya doin', Steven?
I'm doing well.
How about you, Ken?
I'm doing good. You're looking
really good, so...
‐ Thank you.
‐ ...tell us about yourself.
I'm a married guy,
father of four.
Yes, give it up.
Yeah!
Steven:
Kids are 16, 8, 6, and 3.
I've been in education
for 15 years.
‐ Teacher?
‐ A math teacher.
‐ Math teacher. Oh, dude.
‐ Yeah!
Now, what would you do
with all that cash?
Uh, well, when COVID hit,
we had a big trip planned,
and the week we were supposed
to go, it was cancelled.
So I want to bring in the money
and take them on the trip
of their lifetime
and become superdad.
Wow.
I love that.
‐ Our whole goal
is to win you $100,000.
‐ Absolutely.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Ken: That's it.
Now, Steven,
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.
Let's get
the investigation going
and reveal
those secret voices.
Number one, it's the Drummer.
This Julliard grad
is a virtuoso drummer
who's performed
with Shania Twain.
As a native New Yorker,
I'm looking for a New York
accent.
Okay.
Ken:
Number two is Rocker.
Her bad won a competition
to perform with Counting Crows
at the Roxy
in West Hollywood.
Counting Crows
would have to be
a while ago.
‐ So, she looks
pretty young.
‐ Yeah.
Ken:
Number three,
it's the Dancer.
He's danced for Janelle Monáe
and Solange,
but when he's not on tour,
he's singing
at open mic nights in L. A.
Dancer's got
a little something.
I'm excited to see
Dancer perform.
Ken:
Number four,
it's Vegas Showgirl.
‐ Okay.
‐ Ken: She sings
on the strip
with her Demi Lovato
tribute act.
Demi even follows her
on Instagram.
She seems very
comfortable onstage.
Ken:
Number five,
it's the Accountant.
He's a numbers guy
who won gold for Team USA
in the World Championship
for Performing Arts.
Is that even a real award?
Gold medal or something?
Yeah, what's that?
Ken:
Number six, it's the Lifeguard.
This pitch‐perfect beach girl
has performed on Broadway
with her award‐winning
a capella group.
She looks like she
would actually be on Broadway.
‐ Wow.
‐ Here are the rules.
There are six secret voices
up on that stage,
but you'll never know
exactly how many good
and how many bad singers
there will be.
Your job, Steven,
is to use clues
to eliminate the bad singers.
For each one you eliminate,
you will earn $10,000.
Oh, my goodness.
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 signer,
you could win $100,000.
Get that trip
and all is well.
‐ You ready?
‐ Steven: I'm ready.
Let's get
into the investigation
with our first three‐way
Lip Sync Challenge.
Okay.
Ken:
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 somebody else's good voice.
See if you can spot
the difference.
Singing "Walking on Sunshine,"
it's Drummer,
Rocker, and Dancer.
Whoo!

♪ Whoa‐ho‐ho
♪ And don't it feel good?
Wow, okay,
things just got hard.
Nice! Give it up
for the Drummer,
the Rocker,
and the Dancer!
The rocker looked like
maybe she had been taught
a few of those moves
by a choreographer.
You can do this
and you can throw your hair back
and can kick your leg.
It didn't seem as natural
movements to her.
Like a Ken Jeong concert?
‐ Exactly.
‐ Okay, all right.
And I think a rock vocalist
wouldn't try to sound
so "rock" on a track.
It was just very exaggerated.
It just didn't seem authentic.
Jeff:
But I think she kinda got
screwed here,
'cause there's nothing more
rock 'n' roll
than "Walkin' on Sunshine."
That's not fair
to the Rocker.
I think she can
sing real nice.
Dancer,
I think you really performed,
but I also do not
think you're a singer
'cause I felt like
you missed a couple of things.
It's so weird
that none of you
will look at me.
It's driving me insane.
The Dancer,
that was incredible.
I loved it.
I want, like, a copy
of that version of that song.
‐ Hell, yeah,
that guy can sing.
‐ All right.
Robin: The Dancer I felt
belongs onstage,
but the vocals
didn't seem to match
with the voice
that was coming
through the speakers.
Cheryl:
But the one thing
that's throwing me off,
when it says,
"Don't it feel good,"
‐ um, I felt like‐‐
‐ That was well done, Cheryl.
He didn't, like,
hit the note with
the microphone.
He was already moved on
to his final move
before he finished "good."
The Drummer,
that sounded like
his voice to me.
His ease with the microphone,
I mean, he cannot wait
to sing for us.
And his lip‐syncing
was matching every riff
perfectly,
and the timing
he matched perfectly.
Also, I saw all them veins
in his neck
when he was hittin'
them high notes
because he knew what it took
to actually get
that sound out in the studio.
I think the Drummer
might be a singer,
but also might not
be a singer.
His body language
didn't match the voice
and the vibe of the song.
‐ Right.
‐ I‐‐ yeah, I don't think
any of them are singers.
‐ I think we've all
been hoodwinked!
‐ What? Nicole.
‐ Thank you. Steven?
‐ Yes, Ken?
It is time to make
a decision.
In front of you,
you will see each secret
voice's name and number,
so tap on the one
you want to eliminate
and then lock it in.
Okay, Drummer,
the way he prepared,
he got into it,
he took that nice deep breath
right before we even started.
So I think
he's a good singer.
The Rocker,
she was off a little bit.
I don't see that type of voice
coming out of her.
So I think she's a bad singer.
The Dancer, you know,
it could go either way.
He's a great performer,
not necessarily a great singer.
So I'm going to say
the Rocker is the bad singer.
And I'm gonna lock it in.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Nice. Wow.
Now, Steven,
have you identified
a bad singer
and made
a cool $10,000?
Or a good singer,
and earned a less
cool zero?
We're about to find out.
And, remember.
Bad is good. Good is bad.
‐ Rocker, let's...
‐ All: See your voice!
‐ Okay.
‐ Cheryl: I don't know.
I'm not getting
a singer vibe.
Nicole:
My God, the suspense.
( music playing )
‐ Cheryl: Uh‐oh.
‐ Nicole: Oh, no!
( off key )
♪ You're a heartbreaker
♪ Dream maker
♪ Love taker, don't you
mess around with me ♪
♪ You're a heartbreaker
♪ Dream maker...
I love it
when they can't sing,
♪ ...mess around,
no, no! ♪
That is great.
Steven, the Rocker
just won you $10,000.
Thank you for being
a bad singer.
Okay, let me say the line.
Thank you for being
a bad singer.
Now, was‐‐ the whole band thing,
was that a fib?
Yes, it was a fib.
So, what made you
decide to do the show?
I did the show
just to prove to everybody
that you can accomplish
your dreams, no matter what,
and even if you can't sing,
you can still be a rock star.
‐ Ken: Right.
‐ Yeah!
Give it up for the Rocker!
Great job!
I mean, horrible job,
but you know what I mean.
America, who should Steven
eliminate next?
Get involved.
This is "I Can See Your Voice"
only on FOX.
I like when she said,
that you don't have to be
a singer to be a rock star.
I like that.
Welcome back
to "I Can See Your Voice,"
the only show where spotting
terrible talent
can make you really rich.
Before the break,
you eliminated the Rocker
‐ and won $10,000.
‐ Whoo!
And, remember,
your goal is to find as many
bad singers as you can,
because if the last one standing
is a good singer,
you could win $100,000.
Whoo.
Well, it's time for our second
Lip Sync Challenge.
I'm ready, Ken.
Performing Kelly Clarkson's
"Stronger,"
give it up
for Vegas Showgirl,
the Accountant,
and Lifeguard.

‐ Okay.
‐ Wow. Give it up
for Vegas Showgirl,
Accountant,
and the Lifeguard.
Panel, help me out, please.
I think that Vegas Showgirl
was real good,
but I don't believe
that that's her actual voice.
I actually think
that the Vegas Showgirl
is the real deal.
I think that she might be, like,
professionally trained,
that's why she just
can sing effortlessly.
She is not a singer.
I don't buy it.
I truly think
she lip syncs in Vegas
and I think that's why
she's trickin' us.
Oh.
Robin:
I definitely think
the Accountant can sing.
The way he moved‐‐
and they said that he had won
a competition of something.
When the music started,
he hit it, you know,
he lit up.
And I felt like that's what
his voice sounds like.
I liked him a lot.
When he was smiling,
great teeth.
Great teeth?
But let's get back
to his singing voice.
The way he was using the mic
and boppin' around,
I was like, "That seems
like that man has actually
done this a bunch,"
so I believe him.
Listen, he can sing.
‐ Right.
‐ The Lifeguard
was a little awkward.
I didn't think that her look
matched the vocal that we heard.
I think she's the bad singer
in this group.
If she did Broadway
and she's used to singing
onstage,
there would be a little more
of a comfort zone for her,
I think.
She didn't seem as disciplined
with the microphone
as a person that sings
usually is.
It wasn't as precise.
Nicole:
It was a little cumbersome,
a little awkward,
but I don't fault her
because she's wearing sandals,
and I find it hard
to walk in sandals.
So to perform in sandals,
what a feat.
All right, Steven,
it is time to make a decision.
All right, Vegas Showgirl,
great confidence.
Her voice, I don't think,
matches...
‐ Okay, okay.
‐ ...but I think...
The Accountant busted out
his dance moves.
It matched his voice presence.
The Lifeguard, I just think
she was a little off.
‐ Adrienne: Yeah.
‐ Steven: Okay, so,
bad voice, I'm gonna
pick the Lifeguard...
because she didn't
have as much confidence
as the other two.
We're gonna call this
the confidence round.
Yeah. Yeah.
Lifeguard, bad singer,
I'm locking it in.
Ken: All right.
Steven, have you correctly
identified a bad singer
and made yourself
another $10,000?
‐ Lifeguard, let's...
‐ All: See your voice!
I've got a bad feeling
that she's gonna start
blowing right now.
Robin, you just made me
nervous right now.
( groans )
Come on, come on, come on.
( music playing )
She looks nervous.
A deep breath
is a bad sign.

‐ ♪ And the sky is gray...
‐ Whoops.
Uh‐oh.

oh‐oh ♪
♪ On such a winter's day
♪ All the leaves are brown

( vocalizing )
‐ Oh, wow.
‐ Yeah.
Wow. Wow.
Lifeguard, oh, my goodness.
None of us, I think
it's safe to say...
I'm so sorry,
the sandals.
‐ It's the sand‐‐
‐ It was the sandals.
It was the‐‐
they're hard, right?
We did not expect that.
And I think, more than anything,
it's important to note
that not every vocalist
has to be, like,
a performer.
Like, that voice
was incredible.
Did you perform on Broadway?
And did you have
an a capella group?
Yes, I did perform on Broadway
with my a capella group,
the UCLA Scattertones
at the ICCAs.
Yeah.
Give it up for the Lifeguard.
Okay, Steven,
you missed out
on $10,000
leaving your total
at $10,000,
but a lot of show left.
You still have four
remaining secret voices
left to choose from.
Who's good, who's bad?
We'll find out
after the break.
Wow.
You're watching
"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.
Steven, you still have
four remaining secret voices
left to choose from.
Remember, your goal
is to eliminate as many
bad singers as you can,
because if the last one standing
is a good singer,
‐ you could win $100,000.
‐ Whoo!
Oh, my goodness.
In order to reveal more clues
‐ about our remaining
secret voices...
‐ All right.
...I have stolen
all of their phones.
But you only get to see
the contents of one.
Let's play
Unlock My Life.
So, Steven, what you will see
is an exclusive video
from 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?
Not choosing
the Accountant for now.
He's a great performer,
so I think he's a good singer.
Not choosing the Drummer.
I think he's the real deal.
It's between the Dancer
and the Vegas Showgirl.
The Vegas Showgirl,
I'm hoping, like,
we see pics of her in Vegas.
I'm gonna go with
the Vegas Showgirl, Ken.
Ken:
Okay.
Now, remember, the good singers
will be telling the truth,
but the bad singers
could be lying about anything.
Let's find out what
Vegas Showgirl is all about.
I, there.
It's the Vegas Showgirl.
By day, I'm your average,
run‐of‐the‐mill surfer,
but by night...
I impersonate pop superstar
Demi Lovato.
I think she might be
the real deal.
And full exposure,
she follows me on Instagram.
‐ Such an incredible performer.
‐ What?
I am honored
to have her impersonate me.
Vegas Showgirl:
A lot of people don't expect
to see a live singing
drag queen,
but you better believe,
when you come and see my show,
you're gonna get exactly that.
Wow.
Boy, I'm glad
we picked that phone.
Adrienne: Yes. Yes.
That might have been my favorite
Unlock My Life so far.
That was amazing.
I think it is lip‐syncing,
it's an impersonation,
it's a full fantasy.
Um, I've heard
many a drag queen sing,
and most of them are bad.
Yeah.
Adrienne:
I just think it makes sense
why the register of the voice
seemed a little lower,
but I also think that Demi
would be more so impressed
if the girl can really sing.
I'm still not positive
that‐‐ that‐‐ her performance
earlier, the lip‐syncing‐‐
was Demi Lovato‐sounding, so I
don't think she can sing.
It was a big, powerful
voice, though, so I think
once you put the
whole package together,
I do believe that
that was her voice.
Un‐uh.
Steven. It does not have to be
Vegas Showgirl
as your final decision.
You can eliminate any
one of those four.
It is time to make
a decision.
The Drummer I'm still
confident is the real deal.
The poise, the mic handling.
The Accountant, you could be
a really good singer and have
an everyday job.
He might love math like me and
just be an accountant.
The Vegas Showgirl,
just seeing that video,
the voice now matches
the person.
I'm just still not
confident about her.
The Dancer can dance,
but can he sing?
And it came down to either
Vegas Showgirl or the Dancer.
Eliminate
the Dancer.
The handling of the mic,
great dancer.
I'm just gonna say,
"bad singer."
And I'm gonna
lock it in.
‐ Robin: Oh, boy.
‐ Cheryl: I like it, I like it.
Whoo!
Have you correctly chosen
a bad singer
and made yourself another
$10,000?
Dancer, let's...
All: See your voice!
If he can sing,
This'll be one of
those that was like, oh...
( music playing )
This'll be shocking.
This will be shocking.
‐ Adrienne: Oh!
‐ Oh!
He's stalling.

‐ Whoo!
‐ Wow!
Steven! You won $10,000,
‐ bringing your total
to $20,000!
‐ Yes!
Whoo! Thank you
for being bad!
What made you decide
to do the show?
Well, I love singing.
Obviously I was not blessed
with the vocal cords.
But this show is an amazing
opportunity for me to get to
perform and show myself.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Yes, yes.
‐ You killed it.
‐ We're gonna miss you
and your pants,
especially. Amazing.
And now, you're three
decisions away
‐ from $100,000.
‐ Oh, my goodness.
Who's good? Who's bad?
Let's see how
this plays out
after the break. Keep it
locked in right here, America,
to "I Can See Your Voice"!
Welcome back to
"I Can See Your Voice."
Steven, you have now
eliminated two bad
singers,
and one good singer,
leaving you with three
remaining secret voices
to choose from.
Drummer, Vegas Showgirl,
and Accountant.
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.
Whoo!
It is time for...
( whispering )
Secret Studio.
I'm ready.
We sent all our voices
into our Secret Studio
to perform their
best whisper.
You'll be hearing
their real voice,
but quietly, and without
any vocal cord vibration.
Who would you like to see go
into the Secret Studio?
It's not gonna be the
Vegas Showgirl.
And I'm more confident
in the Drummer
being the real deal
than I am the Accountant.
‐ So I'm gonna go with
the Accountant.
‐ Yeah! Yeah!
Steven, panel.
Pay close attention.
If you listen carefully, you
might pick up some vital clues.
It is the Accountant!
( whispering )
She sells seashells
by the seashore.
And the shells she sells
by the seashore,
are seashells for sure.
Oh, wait. I know how to
figure this out. Ken,
whisper something.
( falsetto )
Hey, Robin, you wanna
go to the Shake Shack?
‐ That wasn't a whisper.
‐ That's a falsetto, I think.
‐ Ken: Oh, sorry. I'm sorry.
‐ Nicole: I think he's a singer.
I think the diction
is there.
I think he's not a mush‐mouth.
I think he sings. He's a singer!
He's a singer!
He seemed confident. He seemed
like he knew what he was doing.
His enunciation was so good.
The "S"s were strong.
That, honestly,
just confused me.
I was so confident that the
Accountant was for sure
an incredible vocalist.
‐ But why did the seashells
throw you off?
‐ I thought it was, like,
( muttering )
‐ Robin: Whoa.
‐ Like the "S"s almost seemed...
‐ too strong?
‐ Right.
Do you think you could tell
someone if they could sing
based on their posture, Robin?
‐ ( laughs ) Where are you
going with this?
‐ Cheryl: By their posture?
"Yeah, he had great posture."
I'm just trying to be a
detective here.
No. Most singers would have
less than great posture.
‐ I would assume. Because...
‐ Jeff: Okay.
‐ ...they're hunched over...
‐ My ears are burning.
...with feeling.
Their shoulders are down,
they're in their own‐‐
‐ Aw, thanks for
that intro. Thank you.
‐ There it is. Yeah.
Steven, it is time
to make a decision.
You can eliminate
any of the three
secret voices
still up there.
I'm still going with
my gut feeling
that the Drummer is the legit
thing. The total package.
It comes down to the Accountant
or the Vegas Showgirl.
I've seen a couple of
drag shows, too.
You don't necessarily have to
have a good voice.
You just have to have a good
stage presence.
And the Accountant,
the fact that his mouth
was, like, almost closed,
when he was saying
his "S"s,
I would think his mouth
would mimic
the "S" as he was singing it.
I think I'm gonna go with
the Accountant
is the bad singer.
All right.
Steven, if you picked this
right and picked a bad singer,
‐ you'll pocket another $10,000.
‐ Oh, my gosh. Oh, my goodness.
Accountant! Let's...
All: See your voice!

It's a ballad!

‐ Wow, wow!
‐ Yeah! Yeah!
‐ Yeah!
‐ Steven, you missed out
on $10,000,
leaving your total
still at $20,000!
‐ Aww.
‐ Accountant...
you won a Gold Medal
at the World Championship
‐ of Performing Arts.
‐ Yes, it's true.
‐ I believe it.
‐ I won the Senior Grand
Champion Vocalist
of the World, 2018.
So what made you decide
to do the show?
Since my family and I moved
here in the U. S.
from the Philippines I've been
wanting to be on TV.
And I feel like I'm in
a big TV right now!
‐ You are!
‐ Yeah! That's so cute.
Wow. Please give it up
for the Accountant.
‐ It was incredible.
‐ Thank you!
We're down to just
two secret voices.
And that means Steven's
next elimination
‐ is the most important
one of all.
‐ Ooh.
Join us after the break.
This is "I Can See Your Voice."
Welcome back to
"I Can See Your Voice."
Steven, you have
now eliminated two
good singers,
‐ and two bad singers.
‐ Whew!
You only have two
secret voices remaining.
They could both be good.
They could both be bad.
There 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.
Which brings us to
our final challenge.
It's Interrogation.
You're about to get
the opportunity
to grill either one of
our remaining Secret Voices.
The Drummer,
or Vegas Showgirl.
And hear their
unaltered voice
for the first time.
You'll get 30 seconds
to ask whatever you want.
But then you have to
eliminate one of them.
Steven, who do you
want to interrogate?
Uh, well, I think the video
revealed enough of the
Vegas Showgirl.
We haven't heard much
about the Drummer.
So, I'm gonna go
with the Drummer, Ken.
Ken:
Drummer, prepare yourself.
Okay, your 30 seconds starts
in three, two,
one, go.
What is your
pre‐performance ritual?
I drink tea and I relax.
‐ How do you get gigs
to perform?
‐ My manager, Shawn.
Shout out to Shawn.
What is your proudest
musical moment?
Uh, performing
with Shania Twain.
‐ What would be your dream duet?
‐ My father playing drums and
me singing.
‐ Who is at the top of your
road trip playlist?
‐ Dave Matthews Band.
‐ Where was your first
performance?
‐ Church.
‐ Steven, was that helpful?
‐ ( chuckles ) No.
‐ Because he could be lying.
‐ Cheryl: I think he's a singer.
‐ Why?
‐ I like that he drinks
tea and he relaxes.
‐ That's what Cheryl's looking
for in a man!
‐ I‐‐ I like‐‐
I mean, I do think his proudest
moment would be
with Shania Twain,
'cause that's a big
deal.
‐ Right.
‐ And I like that he
said "church."
I think that came to him
quickly and I think
that's for reals.
‐ Yes.
‐ Adrienne: I'm torn.
I actually do believe
that the Vegas Showgirl
may have an incredible voice
and that's what blew
Demi Lovato away.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ And then again, the Drummer
could just be lying!
And that's where this show
gets so complicated.
I think he's a
drummer, but not
a singer.
This one's tough, because
the Drummer's voice
in the lip sync sounded soulful.
His voice sounds kind of low
and raspy like he sings.
But then he like
Dave Matthews Band
and I'm, like,
"Your soulful voice,
and you like that? Okay."
My gut tells me the Drummer
can sing
and that the Vegas Showgirl
does her performances
without the vocals‐‐
the lip‐syncing. That's my gut.
‐ Ken: Okay, Steven?
‐ Yes, sir.
It's time to
make a decision.
This is so hard.
The Drummer was quick
with his answers.
You know, to come up with
the Dave Matthews Band answer
would be‐‐ you have to, like‐‐
It has to be drilled into you
to know that.
The Vegas Showgirl, I think
Robin's right about the
performance.
I'm gonna pick...
the Vegas Showgirl's
the bad singer.
( hemming and hawing )
I'm gonna lock it in.
Okay. I like that.
That's good.
Okay, that means Drummer
will be going through to
the finale.
You're about to duet
with the one and only,
Robin Thicke,
so get ready.
But first, Vegas Showgirl...
let's...
All: See your voice!

Oh, no.

Vegas Showgirl,
‐ Demi follow you on Instagram?
‐ Demi does follow me
on Instagram.
‐ Yes!
‐ What made you decide
to do the show?
You know, I heard the concept
of the show
and I was like,
"This sounds amazing!"
This is great, so I thought,
why not?
You‐‐ you had
me fooled.
Ken: Give it up for
Vegas Showgirl!
Steven, we are down to our
last secret voice.
And if you have successfully
eliminated all of the
bad singers,
and if the Drummer turns out
to be a good singer,
you could be taking home
$100,000.
But first, you've got one of
the biggest decisions
of your life.
Stay with us, we're gonna
get into it after the break.
Welcome back to
"I Can See Your Voice."
We're down to our last
secret voice‐‐ Drummer.
Steven, it is time for you
to make your final and
biggest decision
of this whole game.
Up until this moment,
you've been trying to eliminate
the bad singers so that a good
singer is left standing up there
to duet with Robin Thicke.
And so now for the first time
in the game,
you're hoping Drummer
is a good singer.
So, here's the
decision you
have to make.
You can either walk away
with the $30,000,
guaranteed to go home
with some real life‐changing
money.
Or you can play on
for one final round
and if Drummer turns out to be
a good singer,
your winnings will shoot up
to $100,000.
You get that trip you want
for your kids.
However, if you get it wrong,
and the Drummer turns out
to be a bad singer,
you will go home
with nothing.
‐ Panel?
‐ I think he can sing,
but I don't know if it's worth
30 grand.
Yeah. Like, right now,
you have $30,000.
Are you willing to now give away
$30,000 is the question.
Yeah, 'cause you can go ham
in Hawaii for, like, ten.
Yeah.
Just take the money.
He's a drummer.
He's not a singer.
But also just please take
the money.
We thought from the beginning
that he could sing.
He lit up
when the music started,
and we kept him here
this whole time because...
‐ we thought he could sing.
‐ I say go for the $100,000.
You've said since the beginning
you believed he can sing.
I think he can sing.
We don't know much about
this Drummer.
I would take the $30,000.
Ken: Which way are you leaning,
Steven?
It's a tough decision,
but I told my wife
that if it came down to it,
I would risk it all.
‐ Oh!
‐ Oh, boy!
What did your wife say
when you said that?
She would be proud of me
no matter what.
‐ Robin: Oh, man.
‐ That's love.
Go for it.
Go for it, champ!
Yeah, but sometimes women
say stuff and don't mean it.
‐ All right.
‐ She's right.
Listen, I'm just saying
I'm a different kind of wife.
I'd be like, come home
with something, please.
‐ Nicole: Yeah.
‐ Well, Steven, we need
a final decision.
I'm gonna go for
the $100,000.
‐ Yeah!
‐ ( cheering )
Okay, lock it in.

Drummer has been lying to us
all along
and we've fallen for it
hook, line, and sinker.
Listen, bottom line, Steven,
you've been an amazing
contestant.
‐ You had so much fun.
‐ I did, I did.
Give it up for Steven,
who went big.
You go big or go home.
‐ Robin, right?
‐ I know you lost the money,
but most importantly,
you're a great guy.
You got a great wife,
a beautiful family,
a job you love.
‐ Exactly.
‐ You got everything that
matters, man,
‐ so God bless you.
‐ Cheryl: By the way,
your wife said
‐ if it came down to it,
go for it.
‐ She did.
So keep your head held high.
You played a great game.
Thank you, Steven.
Thank you, Robin Thicke.
Give it up for Cheryl Hines,

Thank you so much
for watching. Good night.
Dr. Ken Jeong.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Good evening.
Up on our "I Can See Your Voice"
stage are six secret voices,
all claiming to be
professional‐grade singers.
However, some of them
are actually so bad
they'll make you want to hold
on to your loved ones
and pray for all of it
to be over.
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 lyin'.
‐ ♪ Liar

♪ How do I get you alone?

( chuckles )
Let me finish.
Helping tonight's contestant
attempt to win $100,000
are Nicole Byer, Jeff Dye,
Adrienne Houghton,
Cheryl Hines,
and back tonight
as our music superstar,
Robin Thicke.
Get ready to play
"I Can See Your Voice,"
where spotting terrible talent
can make you rich.
( crowd cheering )
All right, welcome to
"I Can See Your Voice."
And helping navigate
tonight's contestant
through this investigation
is our glamorous panel
‐ of celebrity detectives.
‐ Thank you, thank you,
thank you.
‐ Hey, Kenny.
‐ Are you ready for this,
TV's Robin Thicke?
I've sung with you before,
so I'm ready.
I'm taking that
as a compliment.
Thank you very much.
Now let's meet
tonight's contestant
hoping to take home $100,000,
Steven from California.
Whoo!
Hi.
How ya doin', Steven?
I'm doing well.
How about you, Ken?
I'm doing good. You're looking
really good, so...
‐ Thank you.
‐ ...tell us about yourself.
I'm a married guy,
father of four.
Yes, give it up.
Yeah!
Steven:
Kids are 16, 8, 6, and 3.
I've been in education
for 15 years.
‐ Teacher?
‐ A math teacher.
‐ Math teacher. Oh, dude.
‐ Yeah!
Now, what would you do
with all that cash?
Uh, well, when COVID hit,
we had a big trip planned,
and the week we were supposed
to go, it was cancelled.
So I want to bring in the money
and take them on the trip
of their lifetime
and become superdad.
Wow.
I love that.
‐ Our whole goal
is to win you $100,000.
‐ Absolutely.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Ken: That's it.
Now, Steven,
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.
Let's get
the investigation going
and reveal
those secret voices.
Number one, it's the Drummer.
This Julliard grad
is a virtuoso drummer
who's performed
with Shania Twain.
As a native New Yorker,
I'm looking for a New York
accent.
Okay.
Ken:
Number two is Rocker.
Her bad won a competition
to perform with Counting Crows
at the Roxy
in West Hollywood.
Counting Crows
would have to be
a while ago.
‐ So, she looks
pretty young.
‐ Yeah.
Ken:
Number three,
it's the Dancer.
He's danced for Janelle Monáe
and Solange,
but when he's not on tour,
he's singing
at open mic nights in L. A.
Dancer's got
a little something.
I'm excited to see
Dancer perform.
Ken:
Number four,
it's Vegas Showgirl.
‐ Okay.
‐ Ken: She sings
on the strip
with her Demi Lovato
tribute act.
Demi even follows her
on Instagram.
She seems very
comfortable onstage.
Ken:
Number five,
it's the Accountant.
He's a numbers guy
who won gold for Team USA
in the World Championship
for Performing Arts.
Is that even a real award?
Gold medal or something?
Yeah, what's that?
Ken:
Number six, it's the Lifeguard.
This pitch‐perfect beach girl
has performed on Broadway
with her award‐winning
a capella group.
She looks like she
would actually be on Broadway.
‐ Wow.
‐ Here are the rules.
There are six secret voices
up on that stage,
but you'll never know
exactly how many good
and how many bad singers
there will be.
Your job, Steven,
is to use clues
to eliminate the bad singers.
For each one you eliminate,
you will earn $10,000.
Oh, my goodness.
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 signer,
you could win $100,000.
Get that trip
and all is well.
‐ You ready?
‐ Steven: I'm ready.
Let's get
into the investigation
with our first three‐way
Lip Sync Challenge.
Okay.
Ken:
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 somebody else's good voice.
See if you can spot
the difference.
Singing "Walking on Sunshine,"
it's Drummer,
Rocker, and Dancer.

♪ Whoa‐ho‐ho
♪ And don't it feel good?
Wow, okay,
things just got hard.
Nice! Give it up
for the Drummer,
the Rocker,
and the Dancer!
The rocker looked like
maybe she had been taught
a few of those moves
by a choreographer.
You can do this
and you can throw your hair back
and can kick your leg.
It didn't seem as natural
movements to her.
Like a Ken Jeong concert?
‐ Exactly.
‐ Okay, all right.
And I think a rock vocalist
wouldn't try to sound
so "rock" on a track.
It was just very exaggerated.
It just didn't seem authentic.
Jeff:
But I think she kinda got
screwed here,
'cause there's nothing more
rock 'n' roll
than "Walkin' on Sunshine."
That's not fair
to the Rocker.
I think she can
sing real nice.
Dancer,
I think you really performed,
but I also do not
think you're a singer
'cause I felt like
you missed a couple of things.
It's so weird
that none of you
will look at me.
It's driving me insane.
The Dancer,
that was incredible.
I loved it.
I want, like, a copy
of that version of that song.
‐ Hell, yeah,
that guy can sing.
‐ All right.
Robin: The Dancer I felt
belongs onstage,
but the vocals
didn't seem to match
with the voice
that was coming
through the speakers.
Cheryl:
But the one thing
that's throwing me off,
when it says,
"Don't it feel good,"
‐ um, I felt like‐‐
‐ That was well done, Cheryl.
He didn't, like,
hit the note with
the microphone.
He was already moved on
to his final move
before he finished "good."
The Drummer,
that sounded like
his voice to me.
His ease with the microphone,
I mean, he cannot wait
to sing for us.
And his lip‐syncing
was matching every riff
perfectly,
and the timing
he matched perfectly.
Also, I saw all them veins
in his neck
when he was hittin'
them high notes
because he knew what it took
to actually get
that sound out in the studio.
I think the Drummer
might be a singer,
but also might not
be a singer.
His body language
didn't match the voice
and the vibe of the song.
‐ Right.
‐ I‐‐ yeah, I don't think
any of them are singers.
‐ I think we've all
been hoodwinked!
‐ What? Nicole.
‐ Thank you. Steven?
‐ Yes, Ken?
It is time to make
a decision.
In front of you,
you will see each secret
voice's name and number,
so tap on the one
you want to eliminate
and then lock it in.
Okay, Drummer,
the way he prepared,
he got into it,
he took that nice deep breath
right before we even started.
So I think
he's a good singer.
The Rocker,
she was off a little bit.
I don't see that type of voice
coming out of her.
So I think she's a bad singer.
The Dancer, you know,
it could go either way.
He's a great performer,
not necessarily a great singer.
So I'm going to say
the Rocker is the bad singer.
And I'm gonna lock it in.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Nice. Wow.
Now, Steven,
have you identified
a bad singer
and made
a cool $10,000?
Or a good singer,
and earned a less
cool zero?
We're about to find out.
And, remember.
Bad is good. Good is bad.
‐ Rocker, let's...
‐ All: See your voice!
‐ Okay.
‐ Cheryl: I don't know.
I'm not getting
a singer vibe.
Nicole:
My God, the suspense.
( music playing )
‐ Cheryl: Uh‐oh.
‐ Nicole: Oh, no!
( off key )
♪ You're a heartbreaker
♪ Dream maker
♪ Love taker, don't you
mess around with me ♪
♪ You're a heartbreaker
♪ Dream maker...
I love it
when they can't sing,
♪ ...mess around,
no, no! ♪
That is great.
Steven, the Rocker
just won you $10,000.
Thank you for being
a bad singer.
Okay, let me say the line.
Thank you for being
a bad singer.
Now, was‐‐ the whole band thing,
was that a fib?
Yes, it was a fib.
So, what made you
decide to do the show?
I did the show
just to prove to everybody
that you can accomplish
your dreams, no matter what,
and even if you can't sing,
you can still be a rock star.
‐ Ken: Right.
‐ Yeah!
Give it up for the Rocker!
Great job!
I mean, horrible job,
but you know what I mean.
America, who should Steven
eliminate next?
Get involved.
This is "I Can See Your Voice"
only on FOX.
I like when she said,
that you don't have to be
a singer to be a rock star.
I like that.
Welcome back
to "I Can See Your Voice,"
the only show where spotting
terrible talent
can make you really rich.
Before the break,
you eliminated the Rocker
‐ and won $10,000.
‐ Whoo!
And, remember,
your goal is to find as many
bad singers as you can,
because if the last one standing
is a good singer,
you could win $100,000.
Whoo.
Well, it's time for our second
Lip Sync Challenge.
I'm ready, Ken.
Performing Kelly Clarkson's
"Stronger,"
give it up
for Vegas Showgirl,
the Accountant,
and Lifeguard.

‐ Okay.
‐ Wow. Give it up
for Vegas Showgirl,
Accountant,
and the Lifeguard.
Panel, help me out, please.
I think that Vegas Showgirl
was real good,
but I don't believe
that that's her actual voice.
I actually think
that the Vegas Showgirl
is the real deal.
I think that she might be, like,
professionally trained,
that's why she just
can sing effortlessly.
She is not a singer.
I don't buy it.
I truly think
she lip syncs in Vegas
and I think that's why
she's trickin' us.
Oh.
Robin:
I definitely think
the Accountant can sing.
The way he moved‐‐
and they said that he had won
a competition of something.
When the music started,
he hit it, you know,
he lit up.
And I felt like that's what
his voice sounds like.
I liked him a lot.
When he was smiling,
great teeth.
Great teeth?
But let's get back
to his singing voice.
The way he was using the mic
and boppin' around,
I was like, "That seems
like that man has actually
done this a bunch,"
so I believe him.
Listen, he can sing.
‐ Right.
‐ The Lifeguard
was a little awkward.
I didn't think that her look
matched the vocal that we heard.
I think she's the bad singer
in this group.
If she did Broadway
and she's used to singing
onstage,
there would be a little more
of a comfort zone for her,
I think.
She didn't seem as disciplined
with the microphone
as a person that sings
usually is.
It wasn't as precise.
Nicole:
It was a little cumbersome,
a little awkward,
but I don't fault her
because she's wearing sandals,
and I find it hard
to walk in sandals.
So to perform in sandals,
what a feat.
All right, Steven,
it is time to make a decision.
All right, Vegas Showgirl,
great confidence.
Her voice, I don't think,
matches...
‐ Okay, okay.
‐ ...but I think...
The Accountant busted out
his dance moves.
It matched his voice presence.
The Lifeguard, I just think
she was a little off.
‐ Adrienne: Yeah.
‐ Steven: Okay, so,
bad voice, I'm gonna
pick the Lifeguard...
because she didn't
have as much confidence
as the other two.
We're gonna call this
the confidence round.
Yeah. Yeah.
Lifeguard, bad singer,
I'm locking it in.
Ken: All right.
Steven, have you correctly
identified a bad singer
and made yourself
another $10,000?
‐ Lifeguard, let's...
‐ All: See your voice!
I've got a bad feeling
that she's gonna start
blowing right now.
Robin, you just made me
nervous right now.
( groans )
Come on, come on, come on.
( music playing )
She looks nervous.
A deep breath
is a bad sign.

‐ Oh, wow.
‐ Yeah.
Wow. Wow.
Lifeguard, oh, my goodness.
None of us, I think
it's safe to say...
I'm so sorry,
the sandals.
‐ It's the sand‐‐
‐ It was the sandals.
It was the‐‐
they're hard, right?
We did not expect that.
And I think, more than anything,
it's important to note
that not every vocalist
has to be, like,
a performer.
Like, that voice
was incredible.
Did you perform on Broadway?
And did you have
an a capella group?
Yes, I did perform on Broadway
with my a capella group,
the UCLA Scattertones
at the ICCAs.
Yeah.
Give it up for the Lifeguard.
Okay, Steven,
you missed out
on $10,000
leaving your total
at $10,000,
but a lot of show left.
You still have four
remaining secret voices
left to choose from.
Who's good, who's bad?
We'll find out
after the break.
Wow.
You're watching
"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.
Steven, you still have
four remaining secret voices
left to choose from.
Remember, your goal
is to eliminate as many
bad singers as you can,
because if the last one standing
is a good singer,
‐ you could win $100,000.
‐ Whoo!
Oh, my goodness.
In order to reveal more clues
‐ about our remaining
secret voices...
‐ All right.
...I have stolen
all of their phones.
But you only get to see
the contents of one.
Let's play
Unlock My Life.
So, Steven, what you will see
is an exclusive video
from 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?
Not choosing
the Accountant for now.
He's a great performer,
so I think he's a good singer.
Not choosing the Drummer.
I think he's the real deal.
It's between the Dancer
and the Vegas Showgirl.
The Vegas Showgirl,
I'm hoping, like,
we see pics of her in Vegas.
I'm gonna go with
the Vegas Showgirl, Ken.
Ken:
Okay.
Now, remember, the good singers
will be telling the truth,
but the bad singers
could be lying about anything.
Let's find out what
Vegas Showgirl is all about.
I, there.
It's the Vegas Showgirl.
By day, I'm your average,
run‐of‐the‐mill surfer,
but by night...
I impersonate pop superstar
Demi Lovato.
I think she might be
the real deal.
And full exposure,
she follows me on Instagram.
‐ Such an incredible performer.
‐ What?
I am honored
to have her impersonate me.
Vegas Showgirl:
A lot of people don't expect
to see a live singing
drag queen,
but you better believe,
when you come and see my show,
you're gonna get exactly that.
Wow.
Boy, I'm glad
we picked that phone.
Adrienne: Yes. Yes.
That might have been my favorite
Unlock My Life so far.
That was amazing.
I think it is lip‐syncing,
it's an impersonation,
it's a full fantasy.
Um, I've heard
many a drag queen sing,
and most of them are bad.
Yeah.
Adrienne:
I just think it makes sense
why the register of the voice
seemed a little lower,
but I also think that Demi
would be more so impressed
if the girl can really sing.
I'm still not positive
that‐‐ that‐‐ her performance
earlier, the lip‐syncing‐‐
was Demi Lovato‐sounding, so I
don't think she can sing.
It was a big, powerful
voice, though, so I think
once you put the
whole package together,
I do believe that
that was her voice.
Un‐uh.
Steven. It does not have to be
Vegas Showgirl
as your final decision.
You can eliminate any
one of those four.
It is time to make
a decision.
The Drummer I'm still
confident is the real deal.
The poise, the mic handling.
The Accountant, you could be
a really good singer and have
an everyday job.
He might love math like me and
just be an accountant.
The Vegas Showgirl,
just seeing that video,
the voice now matches
the person.
I'm just still not
confident about her.
The Dancer can dance,
but can he sing?
And it came down to either
Vegas Showgirl or the Dancer.
Eliminate
the Dancer.
The handling of the mic,
great dancer.
I'm just gonna say,
"bad singer."
And I'm gonna
lock it in.
‐ Robin: Oh, boy.
‐ Cheryl: I like it, I like it.
Whoo!
Have you correctly chosen
a bad singer
and made yourself another
$10,000?
Dancer, let's...
All: See your voice!
If he can sing,
This'll be one of
those that was like, oh...
( music playing )
This'll be shocking.
This will be shocking.
‐ Adrienne: Oh!
‐ Oh!
He's stalling.
( squeaky voice )

‐ Whoo!
‐ Wow!
Steven! You won $10,000,
‐ bringing your total
to $20,000!
‐ Yes!
Whoo! Thank you
for being bad!
What made you decide
to do the show?
Well, I love singing.
Obviously I was not blessed
with the vocal cords.
But this show is an amazing
opportunity for me to get to
perform and show myself.
‐ Yeah.
‐ Yes, yes.
‐ You killed it.
‐ We're gonna miss you
and your pants,
especially. Amazing.
And now, you're three
decisions away
‐ from $100,000.
‐ Oh, my goodness.
Who's good? Who's bad?
Let's see how
this plays out
after the break. Keep it
locked in right here, America,
to "I Can See Your Voice"!
Welcome back to
"I Can See Your Voice."
Steven, you have now
eliminated two bad
singers,
and one good singer,
leaving you with three
remaining secret voices
to choose from.
Drummer, Vegas Showgirl,
and Accountant.
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.
Whoo!
It is time for...
( whispering )
Secret Studio.
I'm ready.
We sent all our voices
into our Secret Studio
to perform their
best whisper.
You'll be hearing
their real voice,
but quietly, and without
any vocal cord vibration.
Who would you like to see go
into the Secret Studio?
It's not gonna be the
Vegas Showgirl.
And I'm more confident
in the Drummer
being the real deal
than I am the Accountant.
‐ So I'm gonna go with
the Accountant.
‐ Yeah! Yeah!
Steven, panel.
Pay close attention.
If you listen carefully, you
might pick up some vital clues.
It is the Accountant!
( whispering )
She sells seashells
by the seashore.
And the shells she sells
by the seashore,
are seashells for sure.
Oh, wait. I know how to
figure this out. Ken,
whisper something.
( falsetto )
Hey, Robin, you wanna
go to the Shake Shack?
‐ That wasn't a whisper.
‐ That's a falsetto, I think.
‐ Ken: Oh, sorry. I'm sorry.
‐ Nicole: I think he's a singer.
I think the diction
is there.
I think he's not a mush‐mouth.
I think he sings. He's a singer!
He's a singer!
He seemed confident. He seemed
like he knew what he was doing.
His enunciation was so good.
The "S"s were strong.
That, honestly,
just confused me.
I was so confident that the
Accountant was for sure
an incredible vocalist.
‐ But why did the seashells
throw you off?
‐ I thought it was, like,
( muttering )
‐ Robin: Whoa.
‐ Like the "S"s almost seemed...
‐ too strong?
‐ Right.
Do you think you could tell
someone if they could sing
based on their posture, Robin?
‐ ( laughs ) Where are you
going with this?
‐ Cheryl: By their posture?
"Yeah, he had great posture."
I'm just trying to be a
detective here.
No. Most singers would have
less than great posture.
‐ I would assume. Because...
‐ Jeff: Okay.
‐ ...they're hunched over...
‐ My ears are burning.
...with feeling.
Their shoulders are down,
they're in their own‐‐
‐ Aw, thanks for
that intro. Thank you.
‐ There it is. Yeah.
Steven, it is time
to make a decision.
You can eliminate
any of the three
secret voices
still up there.
I'm still going with
my gut feeling
that the Drummer is the legit
thing. The total package.
It comes down to the Accountant
or the Vegas Showgirl.
I've seen a couple of
drag shows, too.
You don't necessarily have to
have a good voice.
You just have to have a good
stage presence.
And the Accountant,
the fact that his mouth
was, like, almost closed,
when he was saying
his "S"s,
I would think his mouth
would mimic
the "S" as he was singing it.
I think I'm gonna go with
the Accountant
is the bad singer.
All right.
Steven, if you picked this
right and picked a bad singer,
‐ you'll pocket another $10,000.
‐ Oh, my gosh. Oh, my goodness.
Accountant! Let's...
All: See your voice!
‐ ( music playing )
‐ Oh, it's a ballad.
It's a ballad!
♪ And I
♪ Will always love you
( vocalizing )
‐ ♪ I

♪ I will all

♪ I will always

‐ Wow!
‐ Oh, wow!
‐ Wow, wow!
‐ Yeah! Yeah!
‐ Yeah!
‐ Steven, you missed out
on $10,000,
leaving your total
still at $20,000!
‐ Aww.
‐ Accountant...
you won a Gold Medal
at the World Championship
‐ of Performing Arts.
‐ Yes, it's true.
‐ I believe it.
‐ I won the Senior Grand
Champion Vocalist
of the World, 2018.
So what made you decide
to do the show?
Since my family and I moved
here in the U. S.
from the Philippines I've been
wanting to be on TV.
And I feel like I'm in
a big TV right now!
‐ You are!
‐ Yeah! That's so cute.
Wow. Please give it up
for the Accountant.
‐ It was incredible.
‐ Thank you!
We're down to just
two secret voices.
And that means Steven's
next elimination
‐ is the most important
one of all.
‐ Ooh.
Join us after the break.
This is "I Can See Your Voice."
Welcome back to
"I Can See Your Voice."
Steven, you have
now eliminated two
good singers,
‐ and two bad singers.
‐ Whew!
You only have two
secret voices remaining.
They could both be good.
They could both be bad.
There 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.
Which brings us to
our final challenge.
It's Interrogation.
You're about to get
the opportunity
to grill either one of
our remaining Secret Voices.
The Drummer,
or Vegas Showgirl.
And hear their
unaltered voice
for the first time.
You'll get 30 seconds
to ask whatever you want.
But then you have to
eliminate one of them.
Steven, who do you
want to interrogate?
Uh, well, I think the video
revealed enough of the
Vegas Showgirl.
We haven't heard much
about the Drummer.
So, I'm gonna go
with the Drummer, Ken.
Ken:
Drummer, prepare yourself.
Okay, your 30 seconds starts
in three, two,
one, go.
What is your
pre‐performance ritual?
I drink tea and I relax.
‐ How do you get gigs
to perform?
‐ My manager, Shawn.
Shout out to Shawn.
What is your proudest
musical moment?
Uh, performing
with Shania Twain.
‐ What would be your dream duet?
‐ My father playing drums and
me singing.
‐ Who is at the top of your
road trip playlist?
‐ Dave Matthews Band.
‐ Where was your first
performance?
‐ Church.
‐ Steven, was that helpful?
‐ ( chuckles ) No.
‐ Because he could be lying.
‐ Cheryl: I think he's a singer.
‐ Why?
‐ I like that he drinks
tea and he relaxes.
‐ That's what Cheryl's looking
for in a man!
‐ I‐‐ I like‐‐
I mean, I do think his proudest
moment would be
with Shania Twain,
'cause that's a big
deal.
‐ Right.
‐ And I like that he
said "church."
I think that came to him
quickly and I think
that's for reals.
‐ Yes.
‐ Adrienne: I'm torn.
I actually do believe
that the Vegas Showgirl
may have an incredible voice
and that's what blew
Demi Lovato away.
‐ Mm‐hmm.
‐ And then again, the Drummer
could just be lying!
And that's where this show
gets so complicated.
I think he's a
drummer, but not
a singer.
This one's tough, because
the Drummer's voice
in the lip sync sounded soulful.
His voice sounds kind of low
and raspy like he sings.
But then he like
Dave Matthews Band
and I'm, like,
"Your soulful voice,
and you like that? Okay."
My gut tells me the Drummer
can sing
and that the Vegas Showgirl
does her performances
without the vocals‐‐
the lip‐syncing. That's my gut.
‐ Ken: Okay, Steven?
‐ Yes, sir.
It's time to
make a decision.
This is so hard.
The Drummer was quick
with his answers.
You know, to come up with
the Dave Matthews Band answer
would be‐‐ you have to, like‐‐
It has to be drilled into you
to know that.
The Vegas Showgirl, I think
Robin's right about the
performance.
I'm gonna pick...
the Vegas Showgirl's
the bad singer.
( hemming and hawing )
I'm gonna lock it in.
Okay. I like that.
That's good.
Okay, that means Drummer
will be going through to
the finale.
You're about to duet
with the one and only,
Robin Thicke,
so get ready.
But first, Vegas Showgirl...
let's...
All: See your voice!

Oh, no.

You've won
10 grand, Steven!
‐ Whoo!
‐ Bringing the total
‐ to $30,000!
‐ Oh, my goodness!
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my goodness,
oh, my goodness.
Vegas Showgirl,
‐ Demi follow you on Instagram?
‐ Demi does follow me
on Instagram.
‐ Yes!
‐ What made you decide
to do the show?
You know, I heard the concept
of the show
and I was like,
"This sounds amazing!"
This is great, so I thought,
why not?
You‐‐ you had
me fooled.
Ken: Give it up for
Vegas Showgirl!
Steven, we are down to our
last secret voice.
And if you have successfully
eliminated all of the
bad singers,
and if the Drummer turns out
to be a good singer,
you could be taking home
$100,000.
But first, you've got one of
the biggest decisions
of your life.
Stay with us, we're gonna
get into it after the break.
Welcome back to
"I Can See Your Voice."
We're down to our last
secret voice‐‐ Drummer.
Steven, it is time for you
to make your final and
biggest decision
of this whole game.
Up until this moment,
you've been trying to eliminate
the bad singers so that a good
singer is left standing up there
to duet with Robin Thicke.
And so now for the first time
in the game,
you're hoping Drummer
is a good singer.
So, here's the
decision you
have to make.
You can either walk away
with the $30,000,
guaranteed to go home
with some real life‐changing
money.
Or you can play on
for one final round
and if Drummer turns out to be
a good singer,
your winnings will shoot up
to $100,000.
You get that trip you want
for your kids.
However, if you get it wrong,
and the Drummer turns out
to be a bad singer,
you will go home
with nothing.
‐ Panel?
‐ I think he can sing,
but I don't know if it's worth
30 grand.
Yeah. Like, right now,
you have $30,000.
Are you willing to now give away
$30,000 is the question.
Yeah, 'cause you can go ham
in Hawaii for, like, ten.
Yeah.
Just take the money.
He's a drummer.
He's not a singer.
But also just please take
the money.
We thought from the beginning
that he could sing.
He lit up
when the music started,
and we kept him here
this whole time because...
‐ we thought he could sing.
‐ I say go for the $100,000.
You've said since the beginning
you believed he can sing.
I think he can sing.
We don't know much about
this Drummer.
I would take the $30,000.
Ken: Which way are you leaning,
Steven?
It's a tough decision,
but I told my wife
that if it came down to it,
I would risk it all.
‐ Oh!
‐ Oh, boy!
What did your wife say
when you said that?
She would be proud of me
no matter what.
‐ Robin: Oh, man.
‐ That's love.
Go for it.
Go for it, champ!
Yeah, but sometimes women
say stuff and don't mean it.
‐ All right.
‐ She's right.
Listen, I'm just saying
I'm a different kind of wife.
I'd be like, come home
with something, please.
‐ Nicole: Yeah.
‐ Well, Steven, we need
a final decision.
I'm gonna go for
the $100,000.
‐ Yeah!
‐ ( cheering )
Okay, lock it in.
Steven!

Drummer has been lying to us
all along
and we've fallen for it
hook, line, and sinker.
Listen, bottom line, Steven,
you've been an amazing
contestant.
‐ You had so much fun.
‐ I did, I did.
Give it up for Steven,
who went big.
You go big or go home.
‐ Robin, right?
‐ I know you lost the money,
but most importantly,
you're a great guy.
You got a great wife,
a beautiful family,
a job you love.
‐ Exactly.
‐ You got everything that
matters, man,
‐ so God bless you.
‐ Cheryl: By the way,
your wife said
‐ if it came down to it,
go for it.
‐ She did.
So keep your head held high.
You played a great game.
Thank you, Steven.
Thank you, Robin Thicke.
Give it up for Cheryl Hines,
Nicole Byer,
Jeff Dye, Adrienne Houghton.
Thank you so much
for watching. Good night.
