I Can See Your Voice (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Episode 1: Jewel, Bow Wow, Cheyenne Jackson, Cheryl Hines, Adrienne Houghton - full transcript
Ken: America,
last year you made us
your number one new show.
- And now...
- We're back people.
We're back.
Through a series of clues,
could you identify
bad singers...
- ( wailing )
-
from good singers...
( vocalizing )
...Without ever hearing them
sing a note?
"see, I can sing.
You believe me. I believe me.
Look at that."
liar.
This season,
the stakes are higher.
For each bad singer
you eliminate,
you will earn $15,000.
The game is harder...
This is different
from at home on the couch.
...And the performances
are better than ever.
This is crazy.
It's a crazy show.
Helping tonight's contestant
are cheryl hines...
- What is happening?
-
Adrienne houghton...
It's getting crazy
up in here!
- Bow wow...
- I knew it. The whole time.
- Cheyenne jackson...
- This is very stressful.
...And music superstar jewel.
I'm getting so psyched out
by this show.
Tonight, it all comes down
to the $100,000 decision.
This is a go big or go home
kind of moment.
- Told you!
- Ken: Oh, my god!
All right. Welcome to
"I can see your voice!"
- yes!
- This time we are back,
and it is bigger,
it is better,
and there are a whole bunch
of big new surprises.
And as usual, helping
tonight's contestant
is our glamorous panel
of celebrity detectives.
Let's meet our contestant.
Hoping to take home $100,000,
it's millicent
from san jose, california.
Give it up!
- San jose!
- Come on, san jose.
How are you doing tonight?
I am excited.
Like, I'm excited.
Look, tell us about yourself.
I am an education initiatives
manager from the bay area.
I am a part of an amazing team
that helps create
educational programs
and resources
to the homeless youth,
and am currently in grad school
to be a clinical psychologist.
Wow.
So what would you do
with 100 grand if you were
lucky enough to win it?
First, I would
definitely make sure I can
afford my education,
and then to help
my parents retire.
- Oh, that's amazing.
- That's incredible.
Okay, 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 tonight's
secret voices.
Number one,
it's water polo player.
This professional
water polo player
is known for her
soulful r&b style
and has released
four songs on spotify.
- Okay!
- Number two, it's the banker.
He's inspired by his hero
justin timberlake
whose hits he sings all day
in his job as a personal banker.
He's bringing sexy bank.
- He's tough.
- He could go either way.
Number three, it's stepper.
He started singing and stepping
at eight years old
eventually stepping up to
a gig at the house of blues
for gospel brunch.
- Hmm.
- Number four, it's mail lady.
This motown loving
songbird has played
effie white in "dreamgirls,"
and she is ready to sign,
seal, and deliver.
Number five,
it's wrestling announcer!
She's already put her voice
to good use as a professional
wrestling ring announcer
performing
the national anthem
in the ring.
- I'm going with good.
- Mm, I'm not buying it.
Number six, it's carpenter.
When he's not building
furniture and houses,
he's going viral, earning more
than 9 million views
for his sea shanty duets
on tiktok.
Sea shanty?
So let's get a quick recap
of the rules.
Just like last season,
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,
and your job is to use clues
to eliminate all
the bad singers.
For each bad singer
you eliminate,
you will earn $15,000.
Yes, that is $5,000
more than last year.
By the end of the show,
you want to have eliminated
all the bad singers
so that the last one standing
is a good singer,
because that last secret voice
will be performing a duet with
our musical superstar jewel.
And if the last one standing
is a good singer,
you could win $100,000.
- Yes.
- Whoo!
This season, I'm giving you
a super secret weapon
that might bring you closer
to that $100,000.
As a brand new way
to help you win money,
you can now activate
the golden mic.
Look at that.
With this lifeline, you can
receive some additional help
from tonight's mystery celebrity
who will be scrutinizing
all the secret voices from
a top secret remote location.
You must activate
the golden mic
- during one of the three
lip sync rounds.
- Okay.
Now, let's get into
the investigation
with our first
lip sync showdown.
As another brand new twist
this season,
the secret voices will be
performing two at a time,
and you get to choose
which two voices you see.
But choose wisely,
because at the end
of each round,
you'll have to eliminate
one of them.
Okay. I want to see
the carpenter.
I don't think I've ever heard
sea shanties before,
and so I'm questioning
that whole thing.
I think that
he's a bad singer,
and I want to see him
share the stage
with the water polo player.
In the water,
you got to hold your breath,
and you got to control
your diaphragm and stuff.
So I'm thinking that
she might be a good singer.
Ken: Very good.
- Yeah.
- Whoo!
Get ready for carpenter
and water polo player.
- Oh!
- Here we-- wow.
- "ring of fire."
- okay!
Millicent: Okay.

♪ and it makes a fiery ring
♪ I fell into a burning
ring of fire ♪

- She's a good singer.
She's a singer.
Fortunately,
you've got help right now
from our incredible panel.
I feel like the carpenter,
I was expecting a different
sound coming out of him.
- That voice sounded too mature.
- Yep.
I got to ask what exactly
does a vocalist who sings
sea shanties sound like?
♪ oh, I'm on a sea
and I'm singing a shanty♪
that's a-- yeah.
Something really gravelly.
The thing that popped out to me,
his mouth,
the vowel didn't match what was
coming out of the first song.
It was too exaggerated,
and so I didn't buy it.
I agree.
He's was getting-- yeah.
I think that when
you sing that low note
of that johnny cash song
your adam's apple
should sink low.
♪ I fell into

and should kind of scale up.
I'm saying a fake.
That man's bad. Mm-hmm.
I think he's good.
The facial expression that
he has on his face right now,
I think that's hiding
what's really inside.
I think that
he could come down right now
and just blow us away.
I really was looking for
that r&b soulful voice
to come out
of the water polo player,
and that did sound like that.
I believed it.
- Yeah.
- Cheyenne: I'm on the fence.
Some of my best
drag queen friends,
they're not singing,
but they have the...
- ( vocalizing )
- a little la-la-la. Yup.
Millicent, would you like
to use your golden mic?
I think I'm going
to save it for later.
Okay. Then, millicent,
it's 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.
Who do you think
is a bad singer?
So, the carpenter,
I agree that the voice
didn't fit the body,
where the water polo player's
voice seemed to match her.
So, I'm thinking that she
might be a good singer.
I am going to eliminate
the carpenter,
and I think that
he's a bad singer.
So I'm going to lock it in.
- Whoa. Okay.
- What?
- All right.
- Ken: Okay, carpenter,
- let's...
- All: See your voice!
- Oh, my god.
- Oh, gosh.
Be a bad singer.
Be a bad singer.

- Luke taylor.

- Oh, my god! That's a voice.

Millicent, you
didn't make any money,
but don't worry,
there's still
a lot of show left.
Don't go anywhere.
After the break,
millicent will be choosing
two more secret voices
to battle it out on her way
to take home that $100,000.
This is
"I can see your voice,"
only on fox.
- I cannot believe that voice.
- I knew it. I knew it.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice,"
the only show where
spotting terrible talent
can make you really rich.
Millicent, before the break,
you eliminated carpenter,
and you haven't made any money.
But it's okay.
You still have four
remaining secret voices
left to choose from.
You can do this.
Millicent, it is time for
our second lip sync showdown.
Which two secret voices do
you want to see lip syncing now?
I got to pick the mail lady.
She's got to be a singer.
So I got to make sure
she is who I think she is.
And I was thinking
about the banker.
He just looks so angry,
and so I'm questioning
that whole thing.
I just need to weed him out
a little bit
- because I think
he's a bad singer.
- Okay, okay.
Ken:
Give it up for mail lady
and banker.
Mail lady has the mic
pointing down to the floor.
Cheyenne: She would know
it would feedback.
- She would know that
it's going to feedback.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Oh. Oh-oh! Ey, ey!
- Oh. Okay. All right.

- panel, thoughts?
- I was very surprised
by mail lady.
- She was serving some heat
in those eyes.
- Yeah.
It definitely sounded
like her voice.
Cheyenne:
She came to life.
It sounded bright.
It looked like she knew
what she was doing.
I think she's a good singer.
Here's the thing.
I was concerned about how she
initially was holding the mic.
Mail lady had the mic
pointing down to the floor.
We know that's a no-no
because you get feedback,
so that was weird.
That made me think
she wasn't a singer.
Now we've got the banker.
I don't know why,
I just don't believe it.
- Hm.
- I don't know. He has this pop
type of crossover look.
The voice that I heard
was like a pop singer.
He was smooth with it.
- Yeah.
- I think he's a good singer.
And at the end when
he was doing his...
- (vocalizing )
- wow. Chills. Chills.
Do you go side to side
or do you go up and down?
This is not how you do runs.
You do runs with your voice,
not your head.
Remember, you still
have your golden mic.
- I'm going to save
it for later.
- Ah.
- Ken: All right.
- Agree.
You know the banker
could be putting on this
whole facade right now.
I don't feel like
he was performing enough
to be a real singer.
And the mail lady could just--
I feel like--
something is just telling me
like she could be a good singer.
I'm going to eliminate
the banker.
I'm going to eliminate him
because I feel that
he is a bad singer.
- Now, banker, let's...
- All: See your voice!
- Be bad. Be bad.
- Please be bad.
Please be bad.

- Banker, you just deposited
$15,000 in millicent's account.
Banker,
you're obviously not a singer,
but who are you really?
I'm actually a real banker.

millicent, you have

It is time for our third
and final lip sync showdown.
So give it up
for wrestling announcer

all right, panel,
what do you think?
The wrestling announcer
at the very beginning
through me off
with the jazz hands.
- Cheyenne: Yes.
- But she's good
with the microphone
and she's got great moves.
Her mic is different
than anyone else's
so maybe she
brought the mic here.
You know, she probably
brought her own mic, like,
"this is what I really do."
my kids have that mic,
and it plays
the "frozen" song, so...
I'm following bow wow
on this one.
The reason
why she comes across
as an entertainer
is because she is one,
and she's a good singer.
Cheyenne:
I did not believe the stepper.
Definitely a great performer,
definitely has lots of energy,
but stuff didn't match.
I think he's a bad singer.
Jewel:
I think his performance
was really over the top.
I can't sing like that
without losing my breath,
so I don't think
anyone else can.
Okay, everyone can but me,
but I'm going stepper bad,
wresting announcer good.
All right.
Breaking it down.
Since you haven't used
the golden mic yet,
this is your last chance
to do so.
- All right.
- Ooh.
Ken: Ah!
Who's it going to be for?
Wrestling announcer or stepper?
I want to know more about
wrestling announcer.
I'm not sure about her 100%.
I need to solidify
she is a good singer.
- Ken: Okay.
- Oh.
- Mystery celebrity, let's...
- All: See your face!
Ooh.
Hey, millicent,
kenan thompson here,
and I am your golden mic.
All right,
the wrestling announcer.
Very good performance.
Singing-wise, it sounded like
the person on the track
was giving
a little more energy
in the breathing aspect
of it all
because it was
lots of big notes
and stuff like that.
So I guess that makes her
a bad singer?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Ken: Okay.
- Thanks for confusing us.
Thank you, kenan thompson.
Oh, millicent,
just remember,
that was just kenan's
personal opinion.
- Right.
- Millicent, it is time
to make a decision.
The wrestling announcer
was giving us more performance.
When she started, I noticed
she was positioning her mic.
I'm still pretty confident
that she's a good singer.
I couldn't tell that with
the stepper because he didn't
have a mic to hold.
There was a part where
he was saying something
that I feel like
it almost didn't match
for a second.
I'm going to eliminate him
because I feel that
he is a bad singer,
- and I'm going to lock it in.
- Okay.
- Now, stepper, let's...
- All: See your voice!
- Oh.
- Walking out with confidence.
- Yup.
- He is very confident.
Strong walk.
Uh...
What?
Oh, oh!
No, no, no, no.
Oh, god, I have no idea.

So was all that true?
Everything is true.
I am a stepper.
I teach at the middle school
in las vegas, nevada.
I've been singing at
the gospel brunch since
I graduated high school.
Give it up for the stepper.
- Thank you.
- Amazing, amazing job.
Stepper!
Millicent,
you've eliminated
two good singers
and one bad singer,
meaning your total
is still $15,000.
There are still three
remaining secret voices
left to choose from,
and if the last one standing
on that stage is a good singer,
you could be
taking home $100,000.
All right?
So let's get into it.
After the break.
This is "I can see your voice."
oh, my gosh, that--
that was tough.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice"
millicent is up $15,000
and her education dreams
are still in sight.
It is time for
my favorite round.
Unlock my life!
Just when you thought
you'd figured out the game,
we updated it with
a whole new selection of ways
to keep you guessing,
and this week,
it's day in the life.
I sent each of them
to record their own exclusive
day in the life video diary.
It is filled with
hints and clues about
who they are, what they do,
and most importantly,
whether or not they can sing.
You only get to see one,
but you can still eliminate
any of the three
remaining secret voices.
And as always,
if it's a good singer,
then the video will contain
100% true facts about
their daily life.
But if the singer is bad,
then anything could be untrue.
I'm, like, super torn
between all three.
There's mail lady, where
I kind of want to just confirm
that she is a good singer.
There were questions about
the water polo player's voice,
and I'm curious to see
the day to day.
But then I'm also thinking
about the wrestling announcer.
I'm going to go with
the wrestling announcer.
- All right.
- Because I feel like I need
to see the entertaining part,
like if she's detailing it
enough for me to believe it.
Okay.
Let's play unlock my life,
day in the life edition.
( distorted )
weighing in at 140 pounds,
kc navarro!
( groaning )
a day in the life, for me,
I love waking up
and getting to work out
with my trainer,
and then
I'm ready to entertain.
And I am here with my co-host.
I host a podcast
with my good friends,
and it's off
to the main event.
My favorite thing about being
a wrestling announcer
is when I have the opportunity
to sing the national anthem.
I love when people
come up to me after
and they're like,
"I had no idea that
you could sing!"
in the evenings, I host
a trivia night at our local bar,
where I love singing
karaoke and eating snacks.
That's a typical day
in the life of me.
I feel like she really does
do this, right?
- No? What are you
guys thinking?
- I don't think so.
I feel so naive.
They make fake packages and
make fake lives for the people?
- Yes.
- I want to believe people.
I'm a prime candidate
for being in a cult, you guys.
In the video, she was talking
to some real heavy hitters,
like wrestler--
I saw bautista,
I saw mic foley.
These are some legendary guys.
I think she's the real deal.
There were two quick shots
in there of her holding a mic
where she was standing,
and it looked like
she was singing.
Cheryl: I thought nothing
in that video rang true to me.
From the workout outfit--
it was just weird to me.
Cheryl's spot on.
Millicent, it is time
to make a decision.
So after unlocking
the wrestling announcer's video,
I'm leaning more towards
her being a good singer.
Then I have the mail lady,
who, like, since the beginning
I felt like she was
a good singer.
And I'm not believing
the water polo player.
I think she's a good lip syncher
and not a good singer.
Mm.
So, I want to eliminate
the water polo player...
- Wow.
- ...Because I think
she's a bad singer.
And I'm locking it in.
Water polo player,
head to the stage of truth.
Cheryl: Oh, no.
Are they bringing out a piano?
- This isn't good.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Now, water polo player...
- All: Let's see your voice!
♪ some people want it all
- okay.
- ♪ but I don't want
nothing at all ♪
♪ if it ain't you, baby
♪ if I ain't got you, baby
♪ some people
want diamond rings ♪
♪ some just want everything
♪ but everything
means nothing ♪
♪ if I ain't got you
♪ whole wide world
don't mean a thing ♪
♪ if I ain't got you
with me, baby ♪
- ( vocalizing )
- wow.
Oh, man.
Wow. Are you a professional
water polo player?
Yes. I have been playing
water polo for five years.
I was even in
the junior olympics.
- Whoo!
- Oh!
- Ooh!
- What made you decide
to do this show?
This is a dream, and it's
so amazing that I'm here.
Please give it up
for water polo player.
Cute.
Millicent, you've just
missed out on $15,000.
You are two decisions
away from $100,000.
Do you think you'll be able
to keep your cool?
I'm trying. I'm trying.
I want to win this money
so I can help my parents
retire comfortably.
- Yeah.
- There's still hope.
And remember,
if the last one standing on
that stage is a good singer,
you could be taking home
$100,000, all right?
- Yes!
- Whoo!
So, let's keep it going
after this break.
This is
"I can see your voice."
welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
millicent, you have now
eliminated three good singers
and one bad singer
leaving you with two remaining
secret voices to choose from.
It is time for
our final challenge.
- Whew.
- It's interrogation.
Millicent, you're about
to get the opportunity
to grill either one of
our remaining secret voices,
mail lady
or wrestling announcer,
and hear their unaltered voice
for the first time.
You get 30 seconds to ask them
whatever you want,
but then you have
to eliminate one of them.
Millicent:
Okay, we got to see a clip
about the wrestling
announcer already,
and so I want to
interrogate the mail lady.
I know that I was pretty
certain about her,
but I'm going to need
that confirmation.
That's where
I'm going right now.
Okay, millicent,
prepare yourself.
Your 30 seconds starts
in 3, 2, 1. Go.
Who is your biggest
musical influence?
The late whitney houston.
What song suits
your voice perfectly?
Any broadway tune
by jennifer holliday.
What's the best compliment
you've received
about your voice?
That I sing like
whitney houston.
Have you ever won
any singing competitions?
In January of 2020,
I was the soul train cruise
talent show winner.
What is your most
memorable performance?
At "showtime at the apollo"
in April of 1998.
- Do they all answer
that quick?
- No.
- Ooh.
- I mean, those were
fast answers.
They were solid.
They were sure.
She had dates. She had names.
It was a little strange
that there were two dates.
It was almost a little--
- I did clock that as well.
- Rehearsed.
She rattled it right off.
- She had answers at the ready.
The soul train cruise award.
- Yeah, very specific.
- Have you ever heard of
the soul train cruise?
- Bow wow: I have not!
- I haven't either.
- Also, there's a resonance
to her speaking voice.
It looked like she liked
the sound of her voice.
There was a little glint
in her eye,
and she was like,
"that's right, whitney houston."
the "you sound like
whitney houston" thing,
that's something that
people would throw around,
like you're just
trying to be nice.
Like, "oh, girl,
you sound like whitney."
mail lady,
she's a bad singer
and the wrestling announcer
is a good singer.
Bow wow is confusing me,
because he believes
in the wrestling announcer
so hardcore...
- I do.
- ...So he's convincing me
she might be a good singer.
Millicent, it's time
to make a decision.
Millicent: I'm torn.
Like, do I stay with my gut
because I thought the mail lady
could sing the whole time?
Or do I think
the wrestling announcer
is the good singer?
After hearing your
guys' thoughts,
I'm going to eliminate
the mail lady
because I think
she's a bad singer,
and I'm going to lock it in.
Okay, that means
wrestling announcer
will duet with
none other than jewel.
But before we do that,
mail lady...
All:
Let's see your voice!
Oh, my god,
I'm going to be sick.
♪ something told me
it was over ♪
adrienne: I told you.
♪ when I saw her
and you talking ♪
♪ yeah
♪ something deep down
in my soul ♪
♪ said, "cry, girl"
♪ yeah, I cried
♪ when I saw you
and that girl ♪
- oh, wow.
- ♪ walking out
( vocalizing )
♪ and, baby, baby, baby,
I'd rather go blind, boy ♪
- oh!
- Wow.
♪ than to see you walk away,
walk away from me ♪
( vocalizing )
- oh, my god.
- I'm not here.
So, you are a mail lady?
I've been delivering
the mail for 32 years,
- 2 months, and 12 days.
- She knows the dates.
- She's about those numbers!
- She does know!
She knows dates.
It's about those numbers.
So what made you decide
to do the show?
Singing is my passion,
and I feel it's my gift,
so I wanted to deliver
my gifted package
to "I can see your voice."
- yes!
- Give it up for mail lady.
Thank you. Thank you.
Millicent, this is it.
We are down to
our last secret voice,
and if that secret voice
is a good singer,
you could be taking home
$100,000.
And you're about to make
the biggest decision
of you life.
After the break.
This is "I can see your voice."
have you ever had all
good singers and one bad?
No, but it could be
any combination.
I'm nervous.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
millicent, we are down
to our last secret voice,
wresting announcer.
Now it is time for you
to make your final
and biggest decision of all.
All game long,
you've been trying to find
and eliminate the bad singers
so that a good singer
is left standing up there
to duet with jewel.
And so now,
for the first time in the game,
you're hoping
wrestling announcer
is a good singer.
Here's the decision
you'll have to make.
You can either walk away
with the $15,000
or you can play on
for one final round,
and if wrestling announcer
turns out to be a good singer,
your winnings
will shoot up to $100,000.
However, if you get it wrong,
and wrestling announcer
turns out to be a bad singer,
you'll go home with nothing.
Panel, this is
a moment of truth.
Like I pointed out earlier,
her mic is different,
but I'm confident to think that
she's really a good singer.
I genuinely want you
to go home with something
and 15 grand is definitely
more than nothing.
We've had four good singers.
I'd play it safe,
but that's just me.
- I like to take a gamble.
- Right.
I feel like I want
to change my life big.
I think if it was me,
I'd roll it over
and take the bet.
I'm going to echo
what jewel said.
I say go for it.
I think she's a good singer.
If I felt like
she was a good singer,
I would go for it,
because I'm like jewel,
I would go for it.
I like to go big or go home.
But personally, I don't
think she's a good singer.
I think she's a bad singer.
Well, I want to be able
to pay off my education
because I want to become
a clinical psychologist
and I want to help
my parents retire.
I feel like this is a go big
or go home kind of moment.
And at this point
that I am right now,
I'm just ready to kind of
just risk it all
and see what happens.
Then lock it in.
- This show right here?
- ( sighs )
jewel, please go and
join wrestling announcer
on the stage of truth
for the grand duet finale.
So, millicent,
I will remind you
that if wrestling announcer
is a good singer
we will up your winnings
to $100,000.
But if wrestling announcer
is a bad singer,
then you'll lose everything.
- I can't look.
- Singing "standing still,"
please put your hands
together for jewel
and wrestling announcer.

Mom, stop working.
Stop working.
Wrestling announcer,
why are you crying?
This is just such
a crazy moment.
I'm so glad I got to help.
- Thank you.
- I knew it. I knew it.
It's real, jewel. It's real.
The world is good
and people are real.
I want to thank bow wow.
I want to thank
cheyenne jackson!
Cheryl hines.
Thank you, adrienne houghton.
And most of all, thank jewel.
This just happened!
Thank you guys so much
for watching.
Good night, everybody.
last year you made us
your number one new show.
- And now...
- We're back people.
We're back.
Through a series of clues,
could you identify
bad singers...
- ( wailing )
-
from good singers...
( vocalizing )
...Without ever hearing them
sing a note?
"see, I can sing.
You believe me. I believe me.
Look at that."
liar.
This season,
the stakes are higher.
For each bad singer
you eliminate,
you will earn $15,000.
The game is harder...
This is different
from at home on the couch.
...And the performances
are better than ever.
This is crazy.
It's a crazy show.
Helping tonight's contestant
are cheryl hines...
- What is happening?
-
Adrienne houghton...
It's getting crazy
up in here!
- Bow wow...
- I knew it. The whole time.
- Cheyenne jackson...
- This is very stressful.
...And music superstar jewel.
I'm getting so psyched out
by this show.
Tonight, it all comes down
to the $100,000 decision.
This is a go big or go home
kind of moment.
- Told you!
- Ken: Oh, my god!
All right. Welcome to
"I can see your voice!"
- yes!
- This time we are back,
and it is bigger,
it is better,
and there are a whole bunch
of big new surprises.
And as usual, helping
tonight's contestant
is our glamorous panel
of celebrity detectives.
Let's meet our contestant.
Hoping to take home $100,000,
it's millicent
from san jose, california.
Give it up!
- San jose!
- Come on, san jose.
How are you doing tonight?
I am excited.
Like, I'm excited.
Look, tell us about yourself.
I am an education initiatives
manager from the bay area.
I am a part of an amazing team
that helps create
educational programs
and resources
to the homeless youth,
and am currently in grad school
to be a clinical psychologist.
Wow.
So what would you do
with 100 grand if you were
lucky enough to win it?
First, I would
definitely make sure I can
afford my education,
and then to help
my parents retire.
- Oh, that's amazing.
- That's incredible.
Okay, 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 tonight's
secret voices.
Number one,
it's water polo player.
This professional
water polo player
is known for her
soulful r&b style
and has released
four songs on spotify.
- Okay!
- Number two, it's the banker.
He's inspired by his hero
justin timberlake
whose hits he sings all day
in his job as a personal banker.
He's bringing sexy bank.
- He's tough.
- He could go either way.
Number three, it's stepper.
He started singing and stepping
at eight years old
eventually stepping up to
a gig at the house of blues
for gospel brunch.
- Hmm.
- Number four, it's mail lady.
This motown loving
songbird has played
effie white in "dreamgirls,"
and she is ready to sign,
seal, and deliver.
Number five,
it's wrestling announcer!
She's already put her voice
to good use as a professional
wrestling ring announcer
performing
the national anthem
in the ring.
- I'm going with good.
- Mm, I'm not buying it.
Number six, it's carpenter.
When he's not building
furniture and houses,
he's going viral, earning more
than 9 million views
for his sea shanty duets
on tiktok.
Sea shanty?
So let's get a quick recap
of the rules.
Just like last season,
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,
and your job is to use clues
to eliminate all
the bad singers.
For each bad singer
you eliminate,
you will earn $15,000.
Yes, that is $5,000
more than last year.
By the end of the show,
you want to have eliminated
all the bad singers
so that the last one standing
is a good singer,
because that last secret voice
will be performing a duet with
our musical superstar jewel.
And if the last one standing
is a good singer,
you could win $100,000.
- Yes.
- Whoo!
This season, I'm giving you
a super secret weapon
that might bring you closer
to that $100,000.
As a brand new way
to help you win money,
you can now activate
the golden mic.
Look at that.
With this lifeline, you can
receive some additional help
from tonight's mystery celebrity
who will be scrutinizing
all the secret voices from
a top secret remote location.
You must activate
the golden mic
- during one of the three
lip sync rounds.
- Okay.
Now, let's get into
the investigation
with our first
lip sync showdown.
As another brand new twist
this season,
the secret voices will be
performing two at a time,
and you get to choose
which two voices you see.
But choose wisely,
because at the end
of each round,
you'll have to eliminate
one of them.
Okay. I want to see
the carpenter.
I don't think I've ever heard
sea shanties before,
and so I'm questioning
that whole thing.
I think that
he's a bad singer,
and I want to see him
share the stage
with the water polo player.
In the water,
you got to hold your breath,
and you got to control
your diaphragm and stuff.
So I'm thinking that
she might be a good singer.
Ken: Very good.
- Yeah.
- Whoo!
Get ready for carpenter
and water polo player.
- Oh!
- Here we-- wow.
- "ring of fire."
- okay!
Millicent: Okay.
♪ love is a burning thing
♪ and it makes a fiery ring
♪ I fell into a burning
ring of fire ♪
♪ I went down, down, down,
and the flames went higher ♪
♪ and it burns, burns, burns
♪ the ring of fire,
the ring of fire ♪

- Okay.

♪ next to me, yeah, ooh,

♪ you'll find him
next to me, yeah ♪
- okay.
- She's a good singer.
She's a singer.
Fortunately,
you've got help right now
from our incredible panel.
I feel like the carpenter,
I was expecting a different
sound coming out of him.
- That voice sounded too mature.
- Yep.
I got to ask what exactly
does a vocalist who sings
sea shanties sound like?
♪ oh, I'm on a sea
and I'm singing a shanty♪
that's a-- yeah.
Something really gravelly.
The thing that popped out to me,
his mouth,
the vowel didn't match what was
coming out of the first song.
It was too exaggerated,
and so I didn't buy it.
I agree.
He's was getting-- yeah.
I think that when
you sing that low note
of that johnny cash song
your adam's apple
should sink low.
♪ I fell into
it really goes low
and should kind of scale up.
I'm saying a fake.
That man's bad. Mm-hmm.
I think he's good.
The facial expression that
he has on his face right now,
I think that's hiding
what's really inside.
I think that
he could come down right now
and just blow us away.
I really was looking for
that r&b soulful voice
to come out
of the water polo player,
and that did sound like that.
I believed it.
- Yeah.
- Cheyenne: I'm on the fence.
Some of my best
drag queen friends,
they're not singing,
but they have the...
- ( vocalizing )
- a little la-la-la. Yup.
Millicent, would you like
to use your golden mic?
I think I'm going
to save it for later.
Okay. Then, millicent,
it's 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.
Who do you think
is a bad singer?
So, the carpenter,
I agree that the voice
didn't fit the body,
where the water polo player's
voice seemed to match her.
So, I'm thinking that she
might be a good singer.
I am going to eliminate
the carpenter,
and I think that
he's a bad singer.
So I'm going to lock it in.
- Whoa. Okay.
- What?
- All right.
- Ken: Okay, carpenter,
- let's...
- All: See your voice!
- Oh, my god.
- Oh, gosh.
Be a bad singer.

Millicent, you
didn't make any money,
but don't worry,
there's still
a lot of show left.
Don't go anywhere.
After the break,
millicent will be choosing
two more secret voices
to battle it out on her way
to take home that $100,000.
This is
"I can see your voice,"
only on fox.
- I cannot believe that voice.
- I knew it. I knew it.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice,"
the only show where
spotting terrible talent
can make you really rich.
Millicent, before the break,
you eliminated carpenter,
and you haven't made any money.
But it's okay.
You still have four
remaining secret voices
left to choose from.
You can do this.
Millicent, it is time for
our second lip sync showdown.
Which two secret voices do
you want to see lip syncing now?
I got to pick the mail lady.
She's got to be a singer.
So I got to make sure
she is who I think she is.
And I was thinking
about the banker.
He just looks so angry,
and so I'm questioning
that whole thing.
I just need to weed him out
a little bit
- because I think
he's a bad singer.
- Okay, okay.
Ken:
Give it up for mail lady
and banker.
Mail lady has the mic
pointing down to the floor.
Cheyenne: She would know
it would feedback.
- She would know that
it's going to feedback.

- panel, thoughts?
- I was very surprised
by mail lady.
- She was serving some heat
in those eyes.
- Yeah.
It definitely sounded
like her voice.
Cheyenne:
She came to life.
It sounded bright.
It looked like she knew
what she was doing.
I think she's a good singer.
Here's the thing.
I was concerned about how she
initially was holding the mic.
Mail lady had the mic
pointing down to the floor.
We know that's a no-no
because you get feedback,
so that was weird.
That made me think
she wasn't a singer.
Now we've got the banker.
I don't know why,
I just don't believe it.
- Hm.
- I don't know. He has this pop
type of crossover look.
The voice that I heard
was like a pop singer.
He was smooth with it.
- Yeah.
- I think he's a good singer.
And at the end when
he was doing his...
- (vocalizing )
- wow. Chills. Chills.
Do you go side to side
or do you go up and down?
This is not how you do runs.
You do runs with your voice,
not your head.
Remember, you still
have your golden mic.
- I'm going to save
it for later.
- Ah.
- Ken: All right.
- Agree.
You know the banker
could be putting on this
whole facade right now.
I don't feel like
he was performing enough
to be a real singer.
And the mail lady could just--
I feel like--
something is just telling me
like she could be a good singer.
I'm going to eliminate
the banker.
I'm going to eliminate him
because I feel that
he is a bad singer.
- Now, banker, let's...
- All: See your voice!
- Be bad. Be bad.

Please be bad.

Banker,
you're obviously not a singer,

It is time for our third

all right, panel,
what do you think?
The wrestling announcer
at the very beginning
through me off
with the jazz hands.
- Cheyenne: Yes.
- But she's good
with the microphone
and she's got great moves.
Her mic is different
than anyone else's
so maybe she
brought the mic here.
You know, she probably
brought her own mic, like,
"this is what I really do."
my kids have that mic,
and it plays
the "frozen" song, so...
I'm following bow wow
on this one.
The reason
why she comes across
as an entertainer
is because she is one,
and she's a good singer.
Cheyenne:
I did not believe the stepper.
Definitely a great performer,
definitely has lots of energy,
but stuff didn't match.
I think he's a bad singer.
Jewel:
I think his performance
was really over the top.
I can't sing like that
without losing my breath,
so I don't think
anyone else can.
Okay, everyone can but me,
but I'm going stepper bad,
wresting announcer good.
All right.
Breaking it down.
Since you haven't used
the golden mic yet,
this is your last chance
to do so.
- All right.
- Ooh.
Ken: Ah!
Who's it going to be for?
Wrestling announcer or stepper?
I want to know more about
wrestling announcer.
I'm not sure about her 100%.
I need to solidify
she is a good singer.
- Ken: Okay.
- Oh.
- Mystery celebrity, let's...
- All: See your face!
Ooh.
Hey, millicent,
kenan thompson here,
and I am your golden mic.
All right,
the wrestling announcer.
Very good performance.
Singing-wise, it sounded like
the person on the track
was giving
a little more energy
in the breathing aspect
of it all
because it was
lots of big notes
and stuff like that.
So I guess that makes her
a bad singer?
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Ken: Okay.
- Thanks for confusing us.
Thank you, kenan thompson.
Oh, millicent,
just remember,
that was just kenan's
personal opinion.
- Right.
- Millicent, it is time
to make a decision.
The wrestling announcer
was giving us more performance.
When she started, I noticed
she was positioning her mic.
I'm still pretty confident
that she's a good singer.
I couldn't tell that with
the stepper because he didn't
have a mic to hold.
There was a part where
he was saying something
that I feel like
it almost didn't match
for a second.
I'm going to eliminate him
because I feel that
he is a bad singer,
- and I'm going to lock it in.
- Okay.
- Now, stepper, let's...
- All: See your voice!
- Oh.
- Walking out with confidence.
- Yup.
- He is very confident.
Strong walk.
Uh...
What?
Oh, oh!
No, no, no, no.
Oh, god, I have no idea.

So was all that true?
Everything is true.
I am a stepper.
I teach at the middle school
in las vegas, nevada.
I've been singing at
the gospel brunch since
I graduated high school.
Give it up for the stepper.
- Thank you.
- Amazing, amazing job.
Stepper!
Millicent,
you've eliminated
two good singers
and one bad singer,
meaning your total
is still $15,000.
There are still three
remaining secret voices
left to choose from,
and if the last one standing
on that stage is a good singer,
you could be
taking home $100,000.
All right?
So let's get into it.
After the break.
This is "I can see your voice."
oh, my gosh, that--
that was tough.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice"
millicent is up $15,000
and her education dreams
are still in sight.
It is time for
my favorite round.
Unlock my life!
Just when you thought
you'd figured out the game,
we updated it with
a whole new selection of ways
to keep you guessing,
and this week,
it's day in the life.
I sent each of them
to record their own exclusive
day in the life video diary.
It is filled with
hints and clues about
who they are, what they do,
and most importantly,
whether or not they can sing.
You only get to see one,
but you can still eliminate
any of the three
remaining secret voices.
And as always,
if it's a good singer,
then the video will contain
100% true facts about
their daily life.
But if the singer is bad,
then anything could be untrue.
I'm, like, super torn
between all three.
There's mail lady, where
I kind of want to just confirm
that she is a good singer.
There were questions about
the water polo player's voice,
and I'm curious to see
the day to day.
But then I'm also thinking
about the wrestling announcer.
I'm going to go with
the wrestling announcer.
- All right.
- Because I feel like I need
to see the entertaining part,
like if she's detailing it
enough for me to believe it.
Okay.
Let's play unlock my life,
day in the life edition.
( distorted )
weighing in at 140 pounds,
kc navarro!
( groaning )
a day in the life, for me,
I love waking up
and getting to work out
with my trainer,
and then
I'm ready to entertain.
And I am here with my co-host.
I host a podcast
with my good friends,
and it's off
to the main event.
My favorite thing about being
a wrestling announcer
is when I have the opportunity
to sing the national anthem.
I love when people
come up to me after
and they're like,
"I had no idea that
you could sing!"
in the evenings, I host
a trivia night at our local bar,
where I love singing
karaoke and eating snacks.
That's a typical day
in the life of me.
I feel like she really does
do this, right?
- No? What are you
guys thinking?
- I don't think so.
I feel so naive.
They make fake packages and
make fake lives for the people?
- Yes.
- I want to believe people.
I'm a prime candidate
for being in a cult, you guys.
In the video, she was talking
to some real heavy hitters,
like wrestler--
I saw bautista,
I saw mic foley.
These are some legendary guys.
I think she's the real deal.
There were two quick shots
in there of her holding a mic
where she was standing,
and it looked like
she was singing.
Cheryl: I thought nothing
in that video rang true to me.
From the workout outfit--
it was just weird to me.
Cheryl's spot on.
Millicent, it is time
to make a decision.
So after unlocking
the wrestling announcer's video,
I'm leaning more towards
her being a good singer.
Then I have the mail lady,
who, like, since the beginning
I felt like she was
a good singer.
And I'm not believing
the water polo player.
I think she's a good lip syncher
and not a good singer.
Mm.
So, I want to eliminate
the water polo player...
- Wow.
- ...Because I think
she's a bad singer.
And I'm locking it in.
Water polo player,
head to the stage of truth.
Cheryl: Oh, no.
Are they bringing out a piano?
- This isn't good.
- Oh, my gosh.
- Now, water polo player...
- All: Let's see your voice!
♪ some people want it all
- okay.
- ♪ but I don't want
nothing at all ♪
♪ if it ain't you, baby
♪ if I ain't got you, baby
♪ some people
want diamond rings ♪
♪ some just want everything
♪ but everything
means nothing ♪
♪ if I ain't got you
♪ whole wide world

♪ if I ain't got you

- ( vocalizing )
- wow.
Oh, man.
Wow. Are you a professional
water polo player?
Yes. I have been playing
water polo for five years.
I was even in
the junior olympics.
- Whoo!
- Oh!
- Ooh!
- What made you decide
to do this show?
This is a dream, and it's
so amazing that I'm here.
Please give it up
for water polo player.
Cute.
Millicent, you've just
missed out on $15,000.
You are two decisions
away from $100,000.
Do you think you'll be able
to keep your cool?
I'm trying. I'm trying.
I want to win this money
so I can help my parents
retire comfortably.
- Yeah.
- There's still hope.
And remember,
if the last one standing on
that stage is a good singer,
you could be taking home
$100,000, all right?
- Yes!
- Whoo!
So, let's keep it going
after this break.
This is
"I can see your voice."
welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
millicent, you have now
eliminated three good singers
and one bad singer
leaving you with two remaining
secret voices to choose from.
It is time for
our final challenge.
- Whew.
- It's interrogation.
Millicent, you're about
to get the opportunity
to grill either one of
our remaining secret voices,
mail lady
or wrestling announcer,
and hear their unaltered voice
for the first time.
You get 30 seconds to ask them
whatever you want,
but then you have
to eliminate one of them.
Millicent:
Okay, we got to see a clip
about the wrestling
announcer already,
and so I want to
interrogate the mail lady.
I know that I was pretty
certain about her,
but I'm going to need
that confirmation.
That's where
I'm going right now.
Okay, millicent,
prepare yourself.
Your 30 seconds starts
in 3, 2, 1. Go.
Who is your biggest
musical influence?
The late whitney houston.
What song suits
your voice perfectly?
Any broadway tune
by jennifer holliday.
What's the best compliment
you've received
about your voice?
That I sing like
whitney houston.
Have you ever won
any singing competitions?
In January of 2020,
I was the soul train cruise
talent show winner.
What is your most
memorable performance?
At "showtime at the apollo"
in April of 1998.
- Do they all answer
that quick?
- No.
- Ooh.
- I mean, those were
fast answers.
They were solid.
They were sure.
She had dates. She had names.
It was a little strange
that there were two dates.
It was almost a little--
- I did clock that as well.
- Rehearsed.
She rattled it right off.
- She had answers at the ready.
The soul train cruise award.
- Yeah, very specific.
- Have you ever heard of
the soul train cruise?
- Bow wow: I have not!
- I haven't either.
- Also, there's a resonance
to her speaking voice.
It looked like she liked
the sound of her voice.
There was a little glint
in her eye,
and she was like,
"that's right, whitney houston."
the "you sound like
whitney houston" thing,
that's something that
people would throw around,
like you're just
trying to be nice.
Like, "oh, girl,
you sound like whitney."
mail lady,
she's a bad singer
and the wrestling announcer
is a good singer.
Bow wow is confusing me,
because he believes
in the wrestling announcer
so hardcore...
- I do.
- ...So he's convincing me
she might be a good singer.
Millicent, it's time
to make a decision.
Millicent: I'm torn.
Like, do I stay with my gut
because I thought the mail lady
could sing the whole time?
Or do I think
the wrestling announcer
is the good singer?
After hearing your
guys' thoughts,
I'm going to eliminate
the mail lady
because I think
she's a bad singer,
and I'm going to lock it in.
Okay, that means
wrestling announcer
will duet with
none other than jewel.
But before we do that,
mail lady...
All:
Let's see your voice!
Oh, my god,
I'm going to be sick.
♪ something told me
it was over ♪
adrienne: I told you.
♪ when I saw her
and you talking ♪
♪ yeah
♪ something deep down
in my soul ♪
♪ said, "cry, girl"
♪ yeah, I cried
♪ when I saw you
and that girl ♪
- oh, wow.
- ♪ walking out
( vocalizing )
♪ and, baby, baby, baby,
I'd rather go blind, boy ♪
- oh!
- Wow.
♪ than to see you walk away,
walk away from me ♪
( vocalizing )
- oh, my god.
- I'm not here.
So, you are a mail lady?
I've been delivering
the mail for 32 years,
- 2 months, and 12 days.
- She knows the dates.
- She's about those numbers!
- She does know!
She knows dates.
It's about those numbers.
So what made you decide
to do the show?
Singing is my passion,
and I feel it's my gift,
so I wanted to deliver
my gifted package
to "I can see your voice."
- yes!
- Give it up for mail lady.
Thank you. Thank you.
Millicent, this is it.
We are down to
our last secret voice,
and if that secret voice
is a good singer,
you could be taking home
$100,000.
And you're about to make
the biggest decision
of you life.
After the break.
This is "I can see your voice."
have you ever had all
good singers and one bad?
No, but it could be
any combination.
I'm nervous.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
millicent, we are down
to our last secret voice,
wresting announcer.
Now it is time for you
to make your final
and biggest decision of all.
All game long,
you've been trying to find
and eliminate the bad singers
so that a good singer
is left standing up there
to duet with jewel.
And so now,
for the first time in the game,
you're hoping
wrestling announcer
is a good singer.
Here's the decision
you'll have to make.
You can either walk away
with the $15,000
or you can play on
for one final round,
and if wrestling announcer
turns out to be a good singer,
your winnings
will shoot up to $100,000.
However, if you get it wrong,
and wrestling announcer
turns out to be a bad singer,
you'll go home with nothing.
Panel, this is
a moment of truth.
Like I pointed out earlier,
her mic is different,
but I'm confident to think that
she's really a good singer.
I genuinely want you
to go home with something
and 15 grand is definitely
more than nothing.
We've had four good singers.
I'd play it safe,
but that's just me.
- I like to take a gamble.
- Right.
I feel like I want
to change my life big.
I think if it was me,
I'd roll it over
and take the bet.
I'm going to echo
what jewel said.
I say go for it.
I think she's a good singer.
If I felt like
she was a good singer,
I would go for it,
because I'm like jewel,
I would go for it.
I like to go big or go home.
But personally, I don't
think she's a good singer.
I think she's a bad singer.
Well, I want to be able
to pay off my education
because I want to become
a clinical psychologist
and I want to help
my parents retire.
I feel like this is a go big
or go home kind of moment.
And at this point
that I am right now,
I'm just ready to kind of
just risk it all
and see what happens.
Then lock it in.
- This show right here?
- ( sighs )
jewel, please go and
join wrestling announcer
on the stage of truth
for the grand duet finale.
So, millicent,
I will remind you
that if wrestling announcer
is a good singer
we will up your winnings
to $100,000.
But if wrestling announcer
is a bad singer,
then you'll lose everything.
- I can't look.
- Singing "standing still,"
please put your hands
together for jewel
and wrestling announcer.

Wrestling announcer,

I'm so glad I got to help.
