Ken: Welcome back to america's
favorite guessing game,
"I can see your voice!"
through a series of clues,
could you identify
bad singers...
( screeching )
♪ bye, bye, bye
from good singers...
( vocalizing )
...Without ever
hearing them sing a note?
Tonight,
helping our contestant
are cheryl hines...
- Oh, my god.
- Adrienne houghton...
Sing, batter, batter, batter.
Sing!
- Vanessa lachey...
- My stomach can't take this.
- Jim jefferies...
- Listen to me, ely.
You'll make a lot of money,
I'm telling you.
...And music superstar
kandi burruss.
He was way overdoing it
with his mouth and...
And what secret celebrity
will be revealed
in tonight's golden mic?
- What?
- Whoo!
And it all comes down
to the $100,000 decision.
I'm feeling so emotional.
It just doesn't match up for me.
Uh-oh.
Good evening, and welcome to
"I can see your voice."
helping tonight's contestant
weed out the good from the bad
throughout this investigation
is our glamorous panel
of celebrity detectives.
Yes! Now let's meet
tonight's contestant
hoping to
take home $100,000.
It's elymagda from
vega alta, puerto rico.
- Hey! Puerto rico!
- Yay!
Hi! Please tell us
about yourself.
Yes, I've been a makeup artist
for over ten years,
and I'm a new mommy as well
for my nine-month.
- Oh, my gosh. Congrats.
- Nice.
What would you do
with 100 grand if you were
lucky enough to win it?
I would like to buy
a home for my baby,
for me and him.
And my mom and my dad,
they give back
so much to the community,
so I want to be able
to give back to them.
It's time to give back.
- Oh, my god.
That's amazing.
- That is so great.
All right, 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.
Okay.
Let's get
the investigation going
and reveal
tonight's secret voices.
Number one, it's waitress.
She delivers sandwiches
and songs at her job
as a singing waitress
in new york city,
and now she's ready to serve up
hot vocals full-time.
Ooh.
Number two, it's opera singer.
He's performed in operas
all over the world,
and even once performed
for the pope
at madison square garden
in 2015.
I don't know about that.
Number three,
it's pageant queen.
Born in the philippines,
her photogenic features
and show-stopping voice
have won her multiple
beauty pageants.
Now her hope is to trade
the sash for a microphone.
Oh, wow.
Number four,
it's bollywood dancer.
She started training in
bollywood dance at age five,
but a recent youtube video
of her dancing and singing
amassed over 2 million views
and has inspired her to focus
on her singing dreams.
Okay, I think she can sing.
Number five,
it's car salesman.
His father may be
a legendary r&b vocalist
from the temptations,
but this guy spends his day
selling cars,
and his singing voice
will drive you wild.
Oh, wow.
Number six,
it's baseball coach.
When he isn't passing on
his baseball skills
to tomorrow's heavy hitters,
this self-taught musician has
been knocking it out of the park
at the world famous
house of blues.
My gut is no.
Let's get a quick recap
of the rules.
There are six secret voices
up on that stage,
and you'll never know
exactly how many good
and how many bad singers
there will be.
Your job, ely,
is to use clues to eliminate
the bad singers.
For each on your eliminate,
you will earn $15,000.
- Whoo!
- Yes.
Now, 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.
Why?
Because if they're
a good singer,
you could win $100,000.
- Yes! Yes.
- Yes!
Yes!
And remember, this season,
you can now activate
the golden mic.
- Whoo!
- Wow.
With this lifeline,
you can receive
some additional help
from tonight's
mystery celebrity,
who's been scrutinizing
all the secret voices
from a top secret
remote location.
But you must activate
the golden mic
during one
of the three lip sync rounds.
Let's get into
the investigation
with our first
lip sync showdown.
Love this part.
The secret voices will actually
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 have to eliminate
one of them.
Okay, I'm gonna go
with pageant queen.
Her body language
is just very stiff,
so I would like
to see her movement,
how she looks like on stage.
I think she's a bad singer.
And I'm gonna go
for the opera singer.
I don't believe him at all.
Even the clothing,
I don't think
that's the way he dress.
You're coming here saying
that you're a singer?
No, no, no, no, no.
Get ready for pageant queen
and opera singer.
This is going to be
interesting.

- oh!

Adrienne: Oh!
Whoo! Wow.
Panel, what do you think?
I think he is a, like,
kick-ass tiktok star.
- Adrienne: Ooh.
- But I don't know
that he's a singer.
Cheryl: Okay.
He was overdoing it
with his mouth and...
- That's what I say.
- He's a bad singer.
That's not him.
Jim: He's not a good singer.
This is the thing.
I actually trained to be
an opera singer
- in a past life.
- What?
- Long time ago.
- Are you kidding me?
Long story. But when you learn
to sing operatic music,
you don't fall off the note,
and you wouldn't be trained
to sing that way.
What if really
is an opera singer
and he's not used
to singing britney spears,
and he's not used to
lip syncing?
Now, pageant queen,
the voice actually matched
what I feel like her voice
would sound like.
She could be a good singer,
and the reason why she's here
is to prove that she's more
than just a pretty face.
- Oh!
- Yes. I believe that.
That's the same
reason I'm here.
Yeah!
I'm still on the fence
about this one.
I think she may be
a good singer,
but the voice was bigger
than I would expect
to come out of her.
Ely, would you like to use
your golden mic?
- I think I will
keep it for later.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- In front of you, ely,
you will see
each secret voice's name
and number on that panel.
We want you to tap on the one
you want to eliminate
and then lock it in.
So, the pageant queen,
the voice sounded just like her,
and her body,
and her everything.
The opera singer, it's true.
Maybe he doesn't sing
those kind of songs,
but I'm gonna go with him,
that he's the bad singer.
I'm gonna lock that in!
- Come on!
- Pageant queen, you can
return to your podium.
You are staying in the game.
- Now, opera singer...
- All: Let's see your voice!
- Oh, a musician?
- ( groans )
cheryl: Okay, don't panic.
They could be fooling us.
You're bad, you're bad.
You're bad, you're bad,
you're bad.
( singing in italian )
adrienne: I told you.
( singing in italian )
- wow! Okay.
- Wow!
Opera singer,
that was outstanding.
Ely, you didn't make any money,
but don't worry.
There is a lot of show left.
- Yes.
- Adrienne: Yeah.
Opera singer, tell us
who you are really.
So, my name
is eric anthony lópez.
I'm actually a part
of the broadway franchise
of "the phantom of the opera"
right now.
- Oh, my gosh!
- Oh, wow.
And you really performed
for the pope
- at madison square garden?
- That's incredible.
It was one of the most amazing
experiences of my life.
Give it up for opera singer.
Outstanding!
Don't go anywhere.
After the break, we will meet
our next pair of secret voices.
This is
"I can see your voice,"
only on fox.
We should've know that,
because if you put
britney spears to opera,
- that's gonna look--
- nuts.
Well, you should hear
britney spears sing opera.
It's fantastic.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice,"
the only show where
spotting terrible talent
can make you really rich.
Ely, before the break,
you eliminated opera singer
and missed out on $15,000.
But you still have
four remaining secret voices
left to hear from.
And it is time for
our second lip sync showdown.
Ely, which two
secret voices do you want
to see lip syncing now?
I wanna see
the bollywood dancer.
I do believe
she's a bollywood dancer,
but I don't believe
she knows how to sing.
And car salesman.
I have the feeling
that he's a good singer,
but I see him stiff,
no movement.
I want to see more.
So give it up
for bollywood dancer
and car salesman.
Come on.
Whoo!

Ken: Panel,
what are you thinking?
Bollywood dancer
has stage presence
that goes beyond dancing.
I think that bollywood dancer
is a good singer, hands down.
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm totally confused.
Because I'm like,
is it too good to be true
that she's singing like that
and dancing like that?
I'm not sure.
I think all bollywood stars
can also sing.
They're singing
in all the movies.
- They're not dancing
around to silence.
- True.
- I'm gonna say
that she can sing.
- Thank you.
Vanessa: I think
that the car salesman
is a bad singer.
There was a moment in the song
where he pulled the mic away,
and you just never do that.
He does a thing where
he smiles through the notes,
which is a real temptations
sort of thing.
The dance steps looked on point.
I think he can sing.
The only big question marks
I have on that
is the son of a temptation,
that just seems
like a lie to me.
If I had to eliminate one,
I'd actually go
with the car salesman.
I'm with adrienne on that.
Aah! I'm stuck.
Remember,
you can still activate
your golden mic.
Okay, so I need
a little bit of help.
I'm gonna go for it.
Ken: Okay.
Wow.
Okay, ely,
who's it gonna be for,
bollywood dancer
or car salesman?
Elymagda:
With the bollywood dancer,
she gave me
really good movements,
but I'm really confused
if that's really her voice.
So, the bollywood dancer.
Mystery celebrity...
All: Let's see your face!
Hello, elymagda.
It's carole baskin
and a few of my friends.
Oh, wow.
Let's talk about
the bollywood dancer.
I know the way cats move,
and seeing the way
that she was moving
while she was singing,
it just didn't seem to jive
with who she was,
with her "purr-sona."
and that's why I think
the bollywood dancer
is a bad singer.
Just remember, that was only
carole's personal opinion.
Ely, who do you think
is a bad singer?
The car salesman,
he actually-- when he was
gonna start to sing,
he kind of, like,
was preparing for it.
Kind of, like, confident.
And the voice, it was
kind of matching with him.
So I'm gonna choose
the bollywood dancer.
I have no doubt she's
a bollywood dancer for sure,
but I think carole baskin
is right.
She's the bad singer.
Gonna lock that in!
- Now, bollywood dancer...
- All: Let's see your voice!
Look how poised she is.
You're gonna be bad.
You're gonna be bad.
Okay, we know she can dance.

- Ely, you've eliminated

meaning you now have
$15,000 on the board!
- Yes! Yes!
- Whoo!
Bollywood dancer,
who are you really?
My name is
nidhi reddy kakulawaram.
- I am a professional dancer
- of course.
- Trained in bollywood.
- Yes!
It was amazing to watch.
What made you want
to do the show?
I thought it'd be fun
to just come up here
and show my personality
and have fun.
I love it.
Give it up
for bollywood dancer.
Great job.
More of america's
favorite guessing game,
"I can see your voice,"
after the break.
- She was really bad.
- She was really bad.
Welcome back
to "I can see your voice,"
where we just witnessed ely
make her first $15,000
towards that dream home.
- Yes.
- Whoo!
It is time for our third
and final lip sync showdown.
Baseball coach and waitress.

Ken:
Panel, what do you think?
The baseball coach, I did like
the unique sound of his voice.
I can imagine him singing
at that house of blues.
The shape of his mouth
when he was singing
created the same sound
that we were hearing.
At some point there was an "s,"
and it was, like, a "shh."
and he made the exact
same mouth shape.
- Yeah.
- I'd say that the baseball
coach is a good singer.
I think the baseball coach
is a bad singer.
He seems a little nervous,
and I think that's because
he's not a singer,
and he's trying to be a singer,
so I think he should go.
But the waitress,
she is a good singer.
- You can't fake what
she just did up there.
- Really?
Her stance,
the way she holds her mic,
the way she performs,
I felt every word
of that lip sync.
Jim: Well, I think
they can both sing.
The baseball coach,
he was effortless.
And the waitress had, like,
a disney quality almost
to the voice,
a musical theater-y
type thing.
I agree with you.
I think they both can sing.
So, this is what I'm thinking.
Let her go ahead and go now.
She can entertain us,
sound great,
and then he can do
the duet at the end.
Bam!
- You got it all figured out.
- Yes!
Ely, it's time
to make a decision.
Okay, the baseball coach,
I can feel that
he loves to sing,
and his stage presence,
it was really good.
In the waitress' case,
I think she's an actress,
and she's just acting.
So I'm eliminating
the waitress.
She's a bad singer.
I'm locking that in.
Ken: Now, waitress...
All: Let's see your voice!
That is some confident
walking right there.
Oh, gosh. Guys, this is
a really hard song to sing.

- Jeez. What a voice!
- Okay, girl.
- Waitress, incredible job.
- Thank you.
Tell us who you are.
My name is dani apple,
and I am a waitress
in new york city,
and I am trying
to make it on broadway.
- Wow.
- What made you want
to do the show?
I am short, so a lot of people
don't think that my voice
can come out of this body,
so I love shocking
people with it.
I love that!
We are shocked.
Please give it up
for the waitress.
- Thank you.
- Incredible.
Ely, you've eliminated
two good singers
and one bad singer,
meaning your total is $15,000.
- Yes.
- But don't worry.
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 $100,000.
So, let's get into it
after the break.
This is
"I can see your voice."
she's not in some production
of something?
- She should be.
- She definitely should be.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
we are all desperate
to help ely on her way
to that dream house,
but right now,
she is stuck at $15,000.
It is time
for my favorite round,
- unlock my life.
- Yes!
And this week,
it's secret snoop.
In order to help you
make your next elimination,
I have snuck into each
of our secret voices' home
- and installed cameras.
- Okay.
These cameras create
a 360 walkthrough experience.
With the joystick
on your podium,
you'll be able to freely
maneuver around for 60 seconds.
And remember,
you can only choose to snoop
in one of their homes,
but you can still eliminate
any of three remaining
secret voices.
And as always,
if they're a good singer,
everything you see
will be 100% real.
But if the singer is bad,
then anything could be untrue.
Ely, who are you
gonna choose any why?
I'm feeling pretty confident
that pageant queen
and the baseball coach
are good singers.
But when it comes
to the car salesman,
I'm very confused.
So, I'm gonna go for him.
I think that's a great choice.
So get ready
for unlock my life,
secret snoop edition.
Kandi: There it is.
A whole studio.
- Okay.
- Let's see his equipment.
Go to the studio equipment.
- Okay.
- Wait, that's a microphone.
He must be a songwriter
or producer.
Oh, what does that say?
"coffee talk." dr. J.
Oh, no, he's not a singer.
He has his own podcast
or something.
- Oh.
- Okay, okay. Move off it.
We gotta keep moving.
Oh, there's more up--
what's up there?
- Oh, more records!
- Look at that wall.
Yeah, yeah.
- "motown."
- it says "motown."
- motown and what?
- Temptations!
- Oh.
- Hey!
That's a lot of temptations.
- What else? What else?
- Can we see the tv?
- Yes!
- Jim: There we go,
there we go, there we go.
- Oh, and now-- this is him.
- Whoa.
- That is definitely him.
- Maybe he was a rapper.
Um, that's a singer.
- Jim: Oh, yeah!
- Oh! Wow.
But what
if it's just his family,
and he doesn't sing?
His father is a temptation.
You do have the album,
the platinum plaques
for his album.
But it's not him.
So everyone's going,
"his father was a member
of the temptations.
That doesn't mean
he can sing." it does!
It's in his genes.
He can definitely sing.
He is a bad singer
because that was
a podcast poster.
- Yeah.
- It had his picture on it.
- I mean, that's what
the equipment was for.
- Exactly.
I still stand by my theory.
You don't call yourself dr. J
if you're not doing something
that's in entertainment.
Isn't that right, dr. Ken?
Dr. Ken.
You're very right.
Absolutely.
It's so important.
Why y'all trying to act
like you can't have a podcast
and sing and possibly sell
some cars on the side?
- Okay, okay.
- That's true.
We all got multiple hustles
going on here.
True.
I actually believe
that the car salesman
is a good singer.
I agree. I think
that he's a good singer.
All right, it is time
to make a decision.
Car salesman, maybe his family,
it is the temptations,
but I believe
he's a bad singer.
I'm gonna lock that in!
- Adrienne: Boom.
- Okay.
Car salesman...
All: Let's see your voice!
I still say good singer.
What do you say?
- Good.
- Come on, you're bad.
You're bad, you're bad,
you're bad, you're bad.
- Uh-oh.
- Okay.
♪ no, no

- That was incredible.
Who are you really?
David ruffin jr.
- All: Wow.
- Oh!
I sell cars,
and I am the only son
of the former lead singer
of the temptations,
mr. "my girl," david ruffin.
- Wow.
- Oh, my gosh.
And what made you want
to do the show?
I wanted people to know
that I'm carrying the torch.
- Yes.
- Love it.
Please give it up
for david ruffin jr.
- ( cheering )
- so great.
Oh, ely,
just missed out on 15,000,
leaving your total
still at $15,000.
Yes.
We are down to
our last two secret voices,
meaning you are
two decisions away
from $100,000.
Oh, I'm feeling so emotional.
I want to show my son
a new life.
I want to help
my mom and my dad.
They gave me so much.
I was pregnant
with my baby boy,
and then the pandemic happened
and I lost everything.
So they grabbed me
and took care of me
without having even nothing.
So this is my time to finally
give back to them, so--
- well, we are here for you.
- Yes.
- Thank you.
- Don't go anywhere.
When we come back,
the pressure is going
to get intense.
This is
"I can see your voice,"
only on fox.
You got this, mama.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
ely, 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.
It's interrogation.
Ely, you're about to get
the opportunity to grill
either one of our
remaining secret voices,
pageant queen
or baseball coach,
and hear their unaltered voice
for the first time.
You'll get 30 seconds
to ask them whatever you want,
but then you have
to eliminate one of them.
Ely, who do you want
to interrogate?
I want to interrogate
the pageant queen.
I need to hear her voice
to see if it sounds
just like the record.
Wait! In my gut,
I feel the baseball coach's
voice was so distinct,
that if I heard him talk,
I would absolutely
know definitively
if that voice from the
lip sync challenge was his.
We need that confirmation.
I like that.
Adrienne, don't fail me.
Mama, you know
I want to see you.
You're out here representando,
and I want to see you
take this money home.
Okay, I'll change my mind.
I definitely need to hear
the baseball coach's voice
just to see if it matches.
Okay, ely, prepare yourself,
your 30 seconds
starts in three,
two, one, go.
If you could choose one person
to mentor you, who would it be?
Stevie wonder.
What was the first concert
that you attended?
Sam smith.
What was the first
album you owned?
It was a stevie wonder
album as well.
- Is your family musical?
- My mom's musical.
I sang a lot with her,
a lot of oldies songs.
That's where
I kind of got my vibe from.
Ooh.
Who's an artist you wish
you could tour with?
Maroon 5 or sam smith.
- He can sing. He can sing.
- Girl, he can sing.
- Ken: Panel?
- Cheryl: I don't know.
I felt more confident about him
before these answers.
I don't like that
he said stevie wonder twice.
Like, it was very limited.
And why was his first
concert sam smith,
and what artist would want
to hang out with maroon 5?
It seems too weird to me.
What's wrong with his
first concert being sam smith?
It's your first concert
you go to when you're 12,
13, 14, or something, right?
I definitely feel like
his answers were truthful.
He's a singer, definitely.
I specifically
remember hearing
a very distinct "s"
pronunciation.
And right now when he said
"stevie wonder,"
- I heard that same
pronunciation of the "s".
- Ooh, girl.
Pageant queen,
I believe she also could
possibly be a good singer,
but we can't choose both.
My gut instinct
says I would go moreso
with the baseball coach
than the pageant queen.
Who's it gonna be,
pageant queen or baseball coach?
I'm gonna eliminate...
( groans )
...The pageant queen.
I still believe
the pageant queen
is a good singer.
But I believe more
in the baseball coach,
so that's why
I'm eliminating her.
I'm locking that in.
Okay,
that means baseball coach
will be going through
to the finale.
Go get ready
because you're about to duet
with none other
than kandi burruss.
But before we do that,
pageant queen...
All: Let's see your voice!
Please be bad.
Please be bad.
Uh-oh.
( screeching )
♪ waiting for tonight, oh
♪ when you would be here
in my arms ♪
♪ waiting for tonight, oh
♪ I've dreamt of this love
for so long ♪
♪ waiting for tonight, oh
♪ I've dreamt of this love
for so long ♪
- this is really bad.
- ♪ waiting for tonight
oh! Mwah!
Ely, you just made $15,000,
taking your total to $30,000.
Pageant queen,
who are you really?
My name is nancy.
I am from the philippines.
Oh, wow.
I personally preach
for world peace.
Ken: Yes, absolutely.
What made you want
to do the show?
It's just a platform to
showcase our god-given talents.
Even though you don't know
how to sing, you can shine.
You shine, I shine,
we all shine.
Give it up for pageant queen!
Thank you,
thank you, thank you!
Wow. Okay.
But now we are down
to our last secret voice,
and if that secret voice
is a good singer,
you could be taking home
$100,000.
- ( groans )
- you are about to make
the biggest decision of all.
After the break.
This is "I can see your voice."
welcome back
to "I can see your voice."
we are down
to our last secret voice--
baseball coach.
It's now time 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
to duet with kandi burruss.
And so now,
for the first time in the game,
you are hoping baseball coach
is a good singer.
But 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,
our grand finale.
And if baseball coach turns out
to be a good singer,
your winnings will shoot
all the way up $100,000.
However, if you get it wrong,
and baseball coach turns out
to be a bad singer,
you'll go home with nothing.
Panel, all night long,
you've been taking notes,
collecting facts.
Do you think baseball coach
is a good or bad singer?
Panel?
It's hard, because
when I first saw him,
I thought, "I think
he has a soulful voice."
and then the voice
did sound like that
when he was lip syncing,
but then the answers
threw me off a little.
So, I don't feel 100% sure,
and I would walk away
with the money.
- I think he's a bad singer.
- Jim: Yeah, he can't sing.
There's a few things
that he said in the answers,
the sam smith, and his first
album was stevie wonder,
and then he sang
at the house of blues.
It just doesn't quite
match up for me.
I wouldn't risk the money,
personally.
The opportunity
to win $100,000 for your son,
for puerto rico,
for your family...
- Yes.
- ...Is a once in
a lifetime opportunity.
I do think
that he is a singer.
I would hate for you
to leave empty handed,
but my soul is telling me
he is a good singer.
I'm mad emo right now,
so I'm gonna try
to pull myself together.
Because I know what
it's like to have family
that has done so much for you,
and for you to really want--
like, I feel your heart.
The blessing of having
a family that loves you
and will always
be there for you?
It's far more valuable
than any money
you could win on the show.
That being said,
I really do believe
he's a good singer.
So now it comes down to
what can $30,000 do for you
versus $100,000, right?
And only you can decide that.
I would go for the $100,000.
Ken: Ely, which way
are you leaning?
My dad had open heart surgery
and he kept working.
And after everything
I've been through,
they have given me
everything. Everything.
And my son, I need
to give him a better life.
So, I'm following my gut,
and I'm gonna go with
the 100,000.
- ( crowd gasping, cheering )
- I'm gonna lock that in.
- All right.
- Oh.
Ken: Kandi burruss,
please go
and join baseball coach
on the stage of truth
for the grand duet finale.
Ely, I will remind you,
that if baseball coach
is a good singer,
we will up your winnings
to $100,000.
But if baseball coach
is a bad singer,
- then you'll lose everything.
- Oof.
Aw, please.
Singing "how sweet it is,"
please put your hands together
for kandi burruss
and baseball coach.

favorite guessing game,
"I can see your voice!"
through a series of clues,
could you identify
bad singers...
( screeching )
♪ bye, bye, bye
from good singers...
( vocalizing )
...Without ever
hearing them sing a note?
Tonight,
helping our contestant
are cheryl hines...
- Oh, my god.
- Adrienne houghton...
Sing, batter, batter, batter.
Sing!
- Vanessa lachey...
- My stomach can't take this.
- Jim jefferies...
- Listen to me, ely.
You'll make a lot of money,
I'm telling you.
...And music superstar
kandi burruss.
He was way overdoing it
with his mouth and...
And what secret celebrity
will be revealed
in tonight's golden mic?
- What?
- Whoo!
And it all comes down
to the $100,000 decision.
I'm feeling so emotional.
It just doesn't match up for me.
Uh-oh.
Good evening, and welcome to
"I can see your voice."
helping tonight's contestant
weed out the good from the bad
throughout this investigation
is our glamorous panel
of celebrity detectives.
Yes! Now let's meet
tonight's contestant
hoping to
take home $100,000.
It's elymagda from
vega alta, puerto rico.
- Hey! Puerto rico!
- Yay!
Hi! Please tell us
about yourself.
Yes, I've been a makeup artist
for over ten years,
and I'm a new mommy as well
for my nine-month.
- Oh, my gosh. Congrats.
- Nice.
What would you do
with 100 grand if you were
lucky enough to win it?
I would like to buy
a home for my baby,
for me and him.
And my mom and my dad,
they give back
so much to the community,
so I want to be able
to give back to them.
It's time to give back.
- Oh, my god.
That's amazing.
- That is so great.
All right, 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.
Okay.
Let's get
the investigation going
and reveal
tonight's secret voices.
Number one, it's waitress.
She delivers sandwiches
and songs at her job
as a singing waitress
in new york city,
and now she's ready to serve up
hot vocals full-time.
Ooh.
Number two, it's opera singer.
He's performed in operas
all over the world,
and even once performed
for the pope
at madison square garden
in 2015.
I don't know about that.
Number three,
it's pageant queen.
Born in the philippines,
her photogenic features
and show-stopping voice
have won her multiple
beauty pageants.
Now her hope is to trade
the sash for a microphone.
Oh, wow.
Number four,
it's bollywood dancer.
She started training in
bollywood dance at age five,
but a recent youtube video
of her dancing and singing
amassed over 2 million views
and has inspired her to focus
on her singing dreams.
Okay, I think she can sing.
Number five,
it's car salesman.
His father may be
a legendary r&b vocalist
from the temptations,
but this guy spends his day
selling cars,
and his singing voice
will drive you wild.
Oh, wow.
Number six,
it's baseball coach.
When he isn't passing on
his baseball skills
to tomorrow's heavy hitters,
this self-taught musician has
been knocking it out of the park
at the world famous
house of blues.
My gut is no.
Let's get a quick recap
of the rules.
There are six secret voices
up on that stage,
and you'll never know
exactly how many good
and how many bad singers
there will be.
Your job, ely,
is to use clues to eliminate
the bad singers.
For each on your eliminate,
you will earn $15,000.
- Whoo!
- Yes.
Now, 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.
Why?
Because if they're
a good singer,
you could win $100,000.
- Yes! Yes.
- Yes!
Yes!
And remember, this season,
you can now activate
the golden mic.
- Whoo!
- Wow.
With this lifeline,
you can receive
some additional help
from tonight's
mystery celebrity,
who's been scrutinizing
all the secret voices
from a top secret
remote location.
But you must activate
the golden mic
during one
of the three lip sync rounds.
Let's get into
the investigation
with our first
lip sync showdown.
Love this part.
The secret voices will actually
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 have to eliminate
one of them.
Okay, I'm gonna go
with pageant queen.
Her body language
is just very stiff,
so I would like
to see her movement,
how she looks like on stage.
I think she's a bad singer.
And I'm gonna go
for the opera singer.
I don't believe him at all.
Even the clothing,
I don't think
that's the way he dress.
You're coming here saying
that you're a singer?
No, no, no, no, no.
Get ready for pageant queen
and opera singer.
This is going to be
interesting.

Adrienne: Oh!
Whoo! Wow.
Panel, what do you think?
I think he is a, like,
kick-ass tiktok star.
- Adrienne: Ooh.
- But I don't know
that he's a singer.
Cheryl: Okay.
He was overdoing it
with his mouth and...
- That's what I say.
- He's a bad singer.
That's not him.
Jim: He's not a good singer.
This is the thing.
I actually trained to be
an opera singer
- in a past life.
- What?
- Long time ago.
- Are you kidding me?
Long story. But when you learn
to sing operatic music,
you don't fall off the note,
and you wouldn't be trained
to sing that way.
What if really
is an opera singer
and he's not used
to singing britney spears,
and he's not used to
lip syncing?
Now, pageant queen,
the voice actually matched
what I feel like her voice
would sound like.
She could be a good singer,
and the reason why she's here
is to prove that she's more
than just a pretty face.
- Oh!
- Yes. I believe that.
That's the same
reason I'm here.
Yeah!
I'm still on the fence
about this one.
I think she may be
a good singer,
but the voice was bigger
than I would expect
to come out of her.
Ely, would you like to use
your golden mic?
- I think I will
keep it for later.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- In front of you, ely,
you will see
each secret voice's name
and number on that panel.
We want you to tap on the one
you want to eliminate
and then lock it in.
So, the pageant queen,
the voice sounded just like her,
and her body,
and her everything.
The opera singer, it's true.
Maybe he doesn't sing
those kind of songs,
but I'm gonna go with him,
that he's the bad singer.
I'm gonna lock that in!
- Come on!
- Pageant queen, you can
return to your podium.
You are staying in the game.
- Now, opera singer...
- All: Let's see your voice!
- Oh, a musician?
- ( groans )
cheryl: Okay, don't panic.
They could be fooling us.
You're bad, you're bad.
You're bad, you're bad,
you're bad.
( singing in italian )
adrienne: I told you.
( singing in italian )
- wow! Okay.
- Wow!
Opera singer,
that was outstanding.
Ely, you didn't make any money,
but don't worry.
There is a lot of show left.
- Yes.
- Adrienne: Yeah.
Opera singer, tell us
who you are really.
So, my name
is eric anthony lópez.
I'm actually a part
of the broadway franchise
of "the phantom of the opera"
right now.
- Oh, my gosh!
- Oh, wow.
And you really performed
for the pope
- at madison square garden?
- That's incredible.
It was one of the most amazing
experiences of my life.
Give it up for opera singer.
Outstanding!
Don't go anywhere.
After the break, we will meet
our next pair of secret voices.
This is
"I can see your voice,"
only on fox.
We should've know that,
because if you put
britney spears to opera,
- that's gonna look--
- nuts.
Well, you should hear
britney spears sing opera.
It's fantastic.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice,"
the only show where
spotting terrible talent
can make you really rich.
Ely, before the break,
you eliminated opera singer
and missed out on $15,000.
But you still have
four remaining secret voices
left to hear from.
And it is time for
our second lip sync showdown.
Ely, which two
secret voices do you want
to see lip syncing now?
I wanna see
the bollywood dancer.
I do believe
she's a bollywood dancer,
but I don't believe
she knows how to sing.
And car salesman.
I have the feeling
that he's a good singer,
but I see him stiff,
no movement.
I want to see more.
So give it up
for bollywood dancer
and car salesman.
Come on.
Whoo!

Ken: Panel,
what are you thinking?
Bollywood dancer
has stage presence
that goes beyond dancing.
I think that bollywood dancer
is a good singer, hands down.
- Mm-hmm.
- I'm totally confused.
Because I'm like,
is it too good to be true
that she's singing like that
and dancing like that?
I'm not sure.
I think all bollywood stars
can also sing.
They're singing
in all the movies.
- They're not dancing
around to silence.
- True.
- I'm gonna say
that she can sing.
- Thank you.
Vanessa: I think
that the car salesman
is a bad singer.
There was a moment in the song
where he pulled the mic away,
and you just never do that.
He does a thing where
he smiles through the notes,
which is a real temptations
sort of thing.
The dance steps looked on point.
I think he can sing.
The only big question marks
I have on that
is the son of a temptation,
that just seems
like a lie to me.
If I had to eliminate one,
I'd actually go
with the car salesman.
I'm with adrienne on that.
Aah! I'm stuck.
Remember,
you can still activate
your golden mic.
Okay, so I need
a little bit of help.
I'm gonna go for it.
Ken: Okay.
Wow.
Okay, ely,
who's it gonna be for,
bollywood dancer
or car salesman?
Elymagda:
With the bollywood dancer,
she gave me
really good movements,
but I'm really confused
if that's really her voice.
So, the bollywood dancer.
Mystery celebrity...
All: Let's see your face!
Hello, elymagda.
It's carole baskin
and a few of my friends.
Oh, wow.
Let's talk about
the bollywood dancer.
I know the way cats move,
and seeing the way
that she was moving
while she was singing,
it just didn't seem to jive
with who she was,
with her "purr-sona."
and that's why I think
the bollywood dancer
is a bad singer.
Just remember, that was only
carole's personal opinion.
Ely, who do you think
is a bad singer?
The car salesman,
he actually-- when he was
gonna start to sing,
he kind of, like,
was preparing for it.
Kind of, like, confident.
And the voice, it was
kind of matching with him.
So I'm gonna choose
the bollywood dancer.
I have no doubt she's
a bollywood dancer for sure,
but I think carole baskin
is right.
She's the bad singer.
Gonna lock that in!
- Now, bollywood dancer...
- All: Let's see your voice!
Look how poised she is.
You're gonna be bad.
You're gonna be bad.
Okay, we know she can dance.

My name is
nidhi reddy kakulawaram.
- I am a professional dancer
- of course.
- Trained in bollywood.
- Yes!
It was amazing to watch.
What made you want
to do the show?
I thought it'd be fun

Great job.

and final lip sync showdown.

Ken:
Panel, what do you think?
The baseball coach, I did like
the unique sound of his voice.
I can imagine him singing
at that house of blues.
The shape of his mouth
when he was singing
created the same sound
that we were hearing.
At some point there was an "s,"
and it was, like, a "shh."
and he made the exact
same mouth shape.
- Yeah.
- I'd say that the baseball
coach is a good singer.
I think the baseball coach
is a bad singer.
He seems a little nervous,
and I think that's because
he's not a singer,
and he's trying to be a singer,
so I think he should go.
But the waitress,
she is a good singer.
- You can't fake what
she just did up there.
- Really?
Her stance,
the way she holds her mic,
the way she performs,
I felt every word
of that lip sync.
Jim: Well, I think
they can both sing.
The baseball coach,
he was effortless.
And the waitress had, like,
a disney quality almost
to the voice,
a musical theater-y
type thing.
I agree with you.
I think they both can sing.
So, this is what I'm thinking.
Let her go ahead and go now.
She can entertain us,
sound great,
and then he can do
the duet at the end.
Bam!
- You got it all figured out.
- Yes!
Ely, it's time
to make a decision.
Okay, the baseball coach,
I can feel that
he loves to sing,
and his stage presence,
it was really good.
In the waitress' case,
I think she's an actress,
and she's just acting.
So I'm eliminating
the waitress.
She's a bad singer.
I'm locking that in.
Ken: Now, waitress...
All: Let's see your voice!
That is some confident
walking right there.
Oh, gosh. Guys, this is
a really hard song to sing.

to do the show?
I am short, so a lot of people
don't think that my voice
can come out of this body,
so I love shocking
people with it.
I love that!
We are shocked.
Please give it up
for the waitress.
- Thank you.
- Incredible.
Ely, you've eliminated
two good singers
and one bad singer,
meaning your total is $15,000.
- Yes.
- But don't worry.
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 $100,000.
So, let's get into it
after the break.
This is
"I can see your voice."
she's not in some production
of something?
- She should be.
- She definitely should be.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
we are all desperate
to help ely on her way
to that dream house,
but right now,
she is stuck at $15,000.
It is time
for my favorite round,
- unlock my life.
- Yes!
And this week,
it's secret snoop.
In order to help you
make your next elimination,
I have snuck into each
of our secret voices' home
- and installed cameras.
- Okay.
These cameras create
a 360 walkthrough experience.
With the joystick
on your podium,
you'll be able to freely
maneuver around for 60 seconds.
And remember,
you can only choose to snoop
in one of their homes,
but you can still eliminate
any of three remaining
secret voices.
And as always,
if they're a good singer,
everything you see
will be 100% real.
But if the singer is bad,
then anything could be untrue.
Ely, who are you
gonna choose any why?
I'm feeling pretty confident
that pageant queen
and the baseball coach
are good singers.
But when it comes
to the car salesman,
I'm very confused.
So, I'm gonna go for him.
I think that's a great choice.
So get ready
for unlock my life,
secret snoop edition.
Kandi: There it is.
A whole studio.
- Okay.
- Let's see his equipment.
Go to the studio equipment.
- Okay.
- Wait, that's a microphone.
He must be a songwriter
or producer.
Oh, what does that say?
"coffee talk." dr. J.
Oh, no, he's not a singer.
He has his own podcast
or something.
- Oh.
- Okay, okay. Move off it.
We gotta keep moving.
Oh, there's more up--
what's up there?
- Oh, more records!
- Look at that wall.
Yeah, yeah.
- "motown."
- it says "motown."
- motown and what?
- Temptations!
- Oh.
- Hey!
That's a lot of temptations.
- What else? What else?
- Can we see the tv?
- Yes!
- Jim: There we go,
there we go, there we go.
- Oh, and now-- this is him.
- Whoa.
- That is definitely him.
- Maybe he was a rapper.
Um, that's a singer.
- Jim: Oh, yeah!
- Oh! Wow.
But what
if it's just his family,
and he doesn't sing?
His father is a temptation.
You do have the album,
the platinum plaques
for his album.
But it's not him.
So everyone's going,
"his father was a member
of the temptations.
That doesn't mean
he can sing." it does!
It's in his genes.
He can definitely sing.
He is a bad singer
because that was
a podcast poster.
- Yeah.
- It had his picture on it.
- I mean, that's what
the equipment was for.
- Exactly.
I still stand by my theory.
You don't call yourself dr. J
if you're not doing something
that's in entertainment.
Isn't that right, dr. Ken?
Dr. Ken.
You're very right.
Absolutely.
It's so important.
Why y'all trying to act
like you can't have a podcast
and sing and possibly sell
some cars on the side?
- Okay, okay.
- That's true.
We all got multiple hustles
going on here.
True.
I actually believe
that the car salesman
is a good singer.
I agree. I think
that he's a good singer.
All right, it is time
to make a decision.
Car salesman, maybe his family,
it is the temptations,
but I believe
he's a bad singer.
I'm gonna lock that in!
- Adrienne: Boom.
- Okay.
Car salesman...
All: Let's see your voice!
I still say good singer.
What do you say?
- Good.
- Come on, you're bad.
You're bad, you're bad,
you're bad, you're bad.
- Uh-oh.
- Okay.
♪ no, no
- ♪ don't you ever feel sad
- told you! Told you!
♪ you can lean on me
when times are bad ♪
♪ when the day comes
and you're down ♪
♪ in a river of trouble
♪ and about to drown
♪ so hold on, I'm coming
- he's got some moves, y'all.
- ♪ hold on, I'm coming
- you better sing!
- ♪ hold on
- ♪ I'm coming
- yeah!
♪ hold on
♪ I'm coming,
yeah, yeah, yeah ♪
- wow!
- Oh!
- He got me on that one.
- That was incredible.
Who are you really?
David ruffin jr.
- All: Wow.
- Oh!
I sell cars,
and I am the only son
of the former lead singer
of the temptations,
mr. "my girl," david ruffin.
- Wow.
- Oh, my gosh.
And what made you want
to do the show?
I wanted people to know
that I'm carrying the torch.
- Yes.
- Love it.
Please give it up
for david ruffin jr.
- ( cheering )
- so great.
Oh, ely,
just missed out on 15,000,
leaving your total
still at $15,000.
Yes.
We are down to
our last two secret voices,
meaning you are
two decisions away
from $100,000.
Oh, I'm feeling so emotional.
I want to show my son
a new life.
I want to help
my mom and my dad.
They gave me so much.
I was pregnant
with my baby boy,
and then the pandemic happened
and I lost everything.
So they grabbed me
and took care of me
without having even nothing.
So this is my time to finally
give back to them, so--
- well, we are here for you.
- Yes.
- Thank you.
- Don't go anywhere.
When we come back,
the pressure is going
to get intense.
This is
"I can see your voice,"
only on fox.
You got this, mama.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
ely, 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.
It's interrogation.
Ely, you're about to get
the opportunity to grill
either one of our
remaining secret voices,
pageant queen
or baseball coach,
and hear their unaltered voice
for the first time.
You'll get 30 seconds
to ask them whatever you want,
but then you have
to eliminate one of them.
Ely, who do you want
to interrogate?
I want to interrogate
the pageant queen.
I need to hear her voice
to see if it sounds
just like the record.
Wait! In my gut,
I feel the baseball coach's
voice was so distinct,
that if I heard him talk,
I would absolutely
know definitively
if that voice from the
lip sync challenge was his.
We need that confirmation.
I like that.
Adrienne, don't fail me.
Mama, you know
I want to see you.
You're out here representando,
and I want to see you
take this money home.
Okay, I'll change my mind.
I definitely need to hear
the baseball coach's voice
just to see if it matches.
Okay, ely, prepare yourself,
your 30 seconds
starts in three,
two, one, go.
If you could choose one person
to mentor you, who would it be?
Stevie wonder.
What was the first concert
that you attended?
Sam smith.
What was the first
album you owned?
It was a stevie wonder
album as well.
- Is your family musical?
- My mom's musical.
I sang a lot with her,
a lot of oldies songs.
That's where
I kind of got my vibe from.
Ooh.
Who's an artist you wish
you could tour with?
Maroon 5 or sam smith.
- He can sing. He can sing.
- Girl, he can sing.
- Ken: Panel?
- Cheryl: I don't know.
I felt more confident about him
before these answers.
I don't like that
he said stevie wonder twice.
Like, it was very limited.
And why was his first
concert sam smith,
and what artist would want
to hang out with maroon 5?
It seems too weird to me.
What's wrong with his
first concert being sam smith?
It's your first concert
you go to when you're 12,
13, 14, or something, right?
I definitely feel like
his answers were truthful.
He's a singer, definitely.
I specifically
remember hearing
a very distinct "s"
pronunciation.
And right now when he said
"stevie wonder,"
- I heard that same
pronunciation of the "s".
- Ooh, girl.
Pageant queen,
I believe she also could
possibly be a good singer,
but we can't choose both.
My gut instinct
says I would go moreso
with the baseball coach
than the pageant queen.
Who's it gonna be,
pageant queen or baseball coach?
I'm gonna eliminate...
( groans )
...The pageant queen.
I still believe
the pageant queen
is a good singer.
But I believe more
in the baseball coach,
so that's why
I'm eliminating her.
I'm locking that in.
Okay,
that means baseball coach
will be going through
to the finale.
Go get ready
because you're about to duet
with none other
than kandi burruss.
But before we do that,
pageant queen...
All: Let's see your voice!
Please be bad.
Please be bad.
Uh-oh.
( screeching )
♪ waiting for tonight, oh
♪ when you would be here
in my arms ♪
♪ waiting for tonight, oh
♪ I've dreamt of this love
for so long ♪
♪ waiting for tonight, oh
♪ I've dreamt of this love
for so long ♪
- this is really bad.
- ♪ waiting for tonight
oh! Mwah!
Ely, you just made $15,000,
taking your total to $30,000.
Pageant queen,
who are you really?
My name is nancy.
I am from the philippines.
Oh, wow.
I personally preach
for world peace.
Ken: Yes, absolutely.
What made you want
to do the show?
It's just a platform to
showcase our god-given talents.
Even though you don't know
how to sing, you can shine.
You shine, I shine,
we all shine.
Give it up for pageant queen!
Thank you,
thank you, thank you!
Wow. Okay.
But now we are down
to our last secret voice,
and if that secret voice
is a good singer,
you could be taking home
$100,000.
- ( groans )
- you are about to make
the biggest decision of all.
After the break.
This is "I can see your voice."
welcome back
to "I can see your voice."
we are down
to our last secret voice--
baseball coach.
It's now time 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
to duet with kandi burruss.
And so now,
for the first time in the game,
you are hoping baseball coach
is a good singer.
But 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,
our grand finale.
And if baseball coach turns out
to be a good singer,
your winnings will shoot
all the way up $100,000.
However, if you get it wrong,
and baseball coach turns out
to be a bad singer,
you'll go home with nothing.
Panel, all night long,
you've been taking notes,
collecting facts.
Do you think baseball coach
is a good or bad singer?
Panel?
It's hard, because
when I first saw him,
I thought, "I think
he has a soulful voice."
and then the voice
did sound like that
when he was lip syncing,
but then the answers
threw me off a little.
So, I don't feel 100% sure,
and I would walk away
with the money.
- I think he's a bad singer.
- Jim: Yeah, he can't sing.
There's a few things
that he said in the answers,
the sam smith, and his first
album was stevie wonder,
and then he sang
at the house of blues.
It just doesn't quite
match up for me.
I wouldn't risk the money,
personally.
The opportunity
to win $100,000 for your son,
for puerto rico,
for your family...
- Yes.
- ...Is a once in
a lifetime opportunity.
I do think
that he is a singer.
I would hate for you
to leave empty handed,
but my soul is telling me
he is a good singer.
I'm mad emo right now,
so I'm gonna try
to pull myself together.
Because I know what
it's like to have family
that has done so much for you,
and for you to really want--
like, I feel your heart.
The blessing of having
a family that loves you
and will always
be there for you?
It's far more valuable
than any money
you could win on the show.
That being said,
I really do believe
he's a good singer.
So now it comes down to
what can $30,000 do for you
versus $100,000, right?
And only you can decide that.
I would go for the $100,000.
Ken: Ely, which way
are you leaning?
My dad had open heart surgery
and he kept working.
And after everything
I've been through,
they have given me
everything. Everything.
And my son, I need
to give him a better life.
So, I'm following my gut,
and I'm gonna go with
the 100,000.
- ( crowd gasping, cheering )
- I'm gonna lock that in.
- All right.
- Oh.
Ken: Kandi burruss,
please go
and join baseball coach
on the stage of truth
for the grand duet finale.
Ely, I will remind you,
that if baseball coach
is a good singer,
we will up your winnings
to $100,000.
But if baseball coach
is a bad singer,
- then you'll lose everything.
- Oof.
Aw, please.
Singing "how sweet it is,"
please put your hands together
for kandi burruss
and baseball coach.

I'm just thinking about
my mom and dad and my son.
- I love you!
- ( overlapping shouts )
I am so happy for you.
I can't wait for you to call
your mom and your papi,

- yes!
What are you gonna
tell your son?
He's gonna see how much

Any thoughts?
I'm super happy for you,
