...Without ever hearing them

Tonight, helping our contestant
are cheryl hines...
I loved him.
- Adrienne houghton...
- Wow.
- Margaret cho...
- I'm so nervous.
- Rachael harris...
- Is that even possible?
...And music superstar shaggy.
Show me the money.
And what secret celebrity
will be revealed
in tonight's golden mic?
Oh.
And it all comes down
to the $100,000 decision.
Let's all hold virtual hands.
Oh, my god.
Welcome to
"I can see your voice!"
helping tonight's contestant
is our glamorous panel
of celebrity detectives.
Let's meet tonight's contestant.
Hoping to take home $100,000,
- it's luan from greensboro,
north carolina?
- Hey!
Oh, my god,
I'm from greensboro,
north carolina.
- I know. I know.
- You're-- my son is here.
- Oh, my god.
- Dude, I've gotten
that many times.
Tell me
all about yourself please.
Well, first off,
I'm going to say this
on probably behalf of all
asian-americans out there,
that you're probably
one of the biggest idols
for all of us because--
- yay!
- Don't make me cry.
You're too kind, because
if it wasn't for margaret cho,
I wouldn't be here.
- Luan: Okay, margaret!
- Margaret cho. It's very true.
I was margaret's opening act
when I was a student at duke,
and as an asian-american,
just so proud to be with you
and with margaret tonight.
- Yay! I'm so proud!
- Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
Tell me about yourself.
What do you do for a living?
My family owns two nail salons
and a beauty studio
and I help manage them.
What would you do
with 100 grand
if you were lucky enough
to win it?
I wasn't born here.
I was born in vietnam.
And my parents did a lot
for us to come to america.
My dad actually went through
a refuge camp for seven years,
sacrificed his whole life
pretty much,
and I want to use the money
to invest in a house for them.
- Yes.
- I love it.
And we want you
to make a stack full of cash,
so 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 softball player.
She's been a fixture on
the competitive softball scene
for ten years,
but her career threw her
a curveball when she caught
her first singing break
playing muzzy van hossmere
in "thoroughly modern millie."
- wow.
- Number two,
it's cafeteria server.
He works at
his former chicago high school
dishing out lunch.
But now with his gospel group,
he is ready to serve up
a huge portion of stardom.
I don't know.
Number three,
it's pharmacy tech!
By day at the pharmacy,
you'll find him in the basement
mixing up the medicines,
but he also sings in a highly
competitive a capella group.
I'm puzzled.
Number four,
it's jason aldean
tribute artist.
This singing cowboy
performs tribute concerts
all over america,
and tonight he's ready to hit
the old dirt road to fame.
- Oh.
- Number five, it's florist.
With a voice that's
as fresh as a daisy,
she is lead vocalist
in her church band,
and released her first single
on spotify in 2019.
I see it.
Number six,
it's mountain biker.
He sings to build his stamina
while he's cycling
through rough terrain,
but also pedals his wares as
a music software engineer,
even working on a track
for x ambassadors.
He's going to surprise us.
So let's get a quick
recap of the rules.
There are six secret
voices up on that stage,
but you'll never know
exactly how many good
and how many bad singers
there will be,
and your job is to use clues
to eliminate the bad singers.
For each one you eliminate,
you will earn $15,000.
Wow.
That's a lot 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.
And if they're a good singer,
you could win $100,000.
- Oh, my god.
- That's the goal.
And remember, this season,
you can now activate
the golden mic.
- Ooh.
- Ahh.
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.
And remember you must
activate the golden mic
during one of
the three lip sync rounds.
Okay.
Let's get into
the investigation with
our first lip sync showdown.
Okay, the secret voices will be
performing two at a time,
and you get to choose which
two voices you want to see,
but choose wisely, because
at the end of each round,
you have to eliminate
one of them.
I'm going to go with
the softball player.
She looked like she could
be a good singer,
but it's a little too obvious.
So, I think she's going
to be a bad singer.
And then I'm going to go
with pharmacy tech.
I can't imagine going
to cvs, walgreens,
and then he's just back there
jamming it out to tylenol.
I think he's also
probably the bad singer.
The mitts are off
on this one.

wow. Give it up
for softball player
and pharmacy tech.
- Panel?
- Does anyone else think that
the softball player
looks like idina menzel?
- Oh, my god.
- Yeah, that's good.
- Adrienne: Do you see it?
- Ken: Yes!
I believe that she has got
a broadway background.
That's what she really loves.
That's what she's into.
It was very idina menzel.
She's a good singer.
Yes, it felt like she was in
the right placement
with the rifts.
I think the softball player
struck out.
Ha!
Because the vocal and her body
was not quite there.
I think she seemed rehearsed.
It wasn't as convincing for me.
I think she's a bad singer.
As far as the pharmacy tech,
he was pretty convincing.
And then the whole wink thing,
maybe that's his
little way to say,
"I know you thought I couldn't
sing, right? But, yo."
I don't know.
My husband told me never to
trust anybody who winks.
- It was a whole wink
on the beat.
- Yeah!
- ♪ watermelon sugar high
- ♪ high
- yeah. No.
- I don't trust the wink.
Pharmacy tech was giving me
some jaywalk with the moves,
a tiktok dance.
I feel like the pharmacy tech
is a good singer.
Now remember, luan, you have
that golden mic lifeline.
- I'm going to save
the golden mic.
- Okay. Very good.
- Luan, it is time
to make a decision.
- Yeah.
Who do you think
is a bad singer?
Okay, the softball player
seemed like she was matching up
with her lip syncing.
I'm going to say
she is a good singer.
To me, the pharmacy tech
was overselling it.
As a salon manager, I had to
flirt with a lot of girls
who came in my salon,
so I could see him doing
kind of similar things.
I'm going to eliminate
the pharmacy tech.
He's a bad singer,
and I'm going to lock that in.
Wow. Love it. Decisive.
Softball player, you can
return to your podium.
You are staying in the game.
- Ken: Pharmacy tech...
- All: Let's see your voice!
- Okay. Uh-oh.
- He's got that confident walk.
Still not fooled by it.

- oh!
- Oh!
Wow.
- Pharmacy tech!
That was beautiful.
- Thank you.
And that's why it hurts.
Tell us about yourself.
I've been working as
a pharmacy technician
for three years, so...
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Awesome.
- I'm izzy, by the way.
Izzy saadah.
- What a voice.
- Thank you.
What made you want
to do the show?
A ton of my life, a lot of
people didn't know I could sing.
So, I wanted to come
on a show like this
and show people to
expect the unexpected.
- Yes. Okay.
- Yes.
- Give it up for pharmacy tech.
- Thank you. Thanks, everyone.
- Yay!
- Outstanding.
All right, luan,
you didn't make any money,
but don't worry,
there's a lot of show left.
- Yes.
- Don't go anywhere.
After the break,
luan will be selecting
the next two secret voices.
This is
"I can see your voice,"
only on fox.
- Okay.
- The wink at the end was like,
"what'd you say about me?"
welcome back to
"I can see your voice,"
the only show where
spotting terrible talent
can make you really rich.
Luan, before the break
you eliminated pharmacy tech.
You didn't make any money,
but you still have
four remaining secret voices
left to hear from.
Now it's time for our
second lip sync showdown.
I'm going to select
jason aldean tribute artist.
I think he's looking
too much the part
that I'm going to say
that's going to be a fake out.
He's probably a bad singer.
And I'm going to go with
the cafeteria server.
I'm going to say he's
a good singer.
He does look like
he could be singing gospel.
Yeah, I think he's got
this one right.
So, give it up for
jason aldean tribute artist
and cafeteria server.

stay here a little while? ♪
♪ don't you wanna hold
each other tight? ♪
♪ don't you wanna fall asleep

♪ oh, don't you wanna

- whoa. Whoa. Whoa!
- Panel?
I would have to say that
the jason aldean tribute artist
is not a good singer.
I don't see how that voice
is the same as the lip sync.
Adrienne, what are your
thoughts right now?
Oh, I respectfully disagree.
I believed that was his voice.
This for me
matched up perfectly.
I am not buying it.
I don't think he's
a good singer.
If somebody's a tribute artist,
they'd really be working
the stage more,
and he did not feel that
comfortable to me on stage.
And then cafeteria server,
I loved him.
- He came to life when
the song came on.
- That's true.
So, I think he's a good singer.
I disagree. I felt like
the moves were too put on,
and were like, "I practiced
these in front of a mirror."
- like with the stop.
- Okay.
Yeah, I'm kind of in agreement
with the whole stop.
It feels rehearsed.
I think he's a bad singer.
But I do think
jason aldean tribute artist,
I was more convinced.
You have to be
really a good singer
to be a tribute artist.
And remember, luan, you can
still activate your golden mic.
Do you want to use it now
or save it for later?
After the pharmacy tech,
I'm confused about everything,
- so I am going to use
the golden mic.
- Okay.
Which secret voice would
you like to hear about?
I would love to hear about
the cafeteria server.
After hearing from the panel,
I don't think that
he is a good singer,
but I'm thinking
I do need another voice in this.
Mystery celebrity, let's...
All: See your face!
Hey, luan, it's awkwafina,
and I will be your
golden mic for the night.
Cafeteria server,
he has really good
stage presence.
He has the moves.
It almost seems like
he lives very comfortably
in the voice.
That being said,
a really good singer,
they wouldn't
emphasize certain things.
They would just let it go.
I am going to say
cafeteria server
is a bad singer.
- Whoa.
- Wow!
Strong words from
my movie daughter
to my tv son.
Just remember, that was only
awkwafina's opinion.
So, luan, it is time
to make a decision.
Okay. So I'm still
not completely sold
on the jason aldean
tribute artist.
He could be a bad singer.
But I think the overall
consensus with the panel
and also awkwafina
was that the cafeteria server
was a bad singer,
and I do agree with them.
I'm going to eliminate
the cafeteria server.
Yeah, yeah.
And I'm going to lock it in!
- Good choice.
- All right, luan,
have you correctly
identified a bad singer
- and made yourself $15,000?
- I really hope so.
Now, cafeteria server, let's...
All: See your voice!
I'm praying that he does not
take us to church right now.
Oh, no.
Come on, luan.
Please be bad. Please be bad.
Please be bad.

Cafeteria server,
tell us who you are really.
My name is arvell.
I am a cafeteria server.
I serve at my old high school,
thornton township high school.
I sing in a gospel group called
the elder thomas singers.
And I can tell you ain't
never lip synced before.
I tried tiktok once.
He said once.
Please, give it up
for the cafeteria server.
Oh, luan, you've eliminated
two good singers,
and no bad singers,
meaning you still have
nothing in the pot.
But we've still got
a long way to go.
More of america's favorite
guessing game,
"I can see your voice"
after the break.
- I didn't see it coming.
- I thought it was like,
gospel singer?
Like, how obvious can we be?
Come on,
y'all should listen to me.
That's how bad I am at this.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice,"
where luan is having some
trouble getting off
of the starting block.
But we have many more
opportunities for him
to win big money.
- Yes.
- It is time for our third
- and final
lip sync showdown.
- Come on.
Mountain biker and florist.

Panel, what do you think?
Mountain biker just seemed
a little awkward to me,
how his performance was.
He was in it, but it just
wasn't convincing to me.
I agree. I would say
the mountain biker is awkward.
The song sounds awkward
and he looks awkward
performing it.
- So I think mountain biker
is a bad singer.
- Ken: Okay.
I thought the mountain biker,
that voice was so unique
and different,
- that it's probably
his real voice.
- Yeah.
I feel like he's a good singer,
and then she--
I feel like she is
too good to be true.
- Really?
- The way she embodied
the movements of
the song was great.
I would say that the florist
is a good singer.
The performance
was very convincing to me.
But, hey,
I've been wrong before.
- Same.
- Me, too.
But I think that
is actually her voice.
She obviously is in the arts.
She's a performer.
She's a dancer.
I think she's a good singer.
Luan, it is time to
make a decision.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, man.
From the beginning,
I always thought the florist
was almost
too good to be true.
But after that, I can see
the florist being a performer,
and then with
the mountain biker,
it does seem like
it could've been his voice,
but it was a little odd.
I think he's
the biggest wild card.
So I'm going to eliminate
the mountain biker.
- And--
- okay. Lock it in.
You know, I'm actually
going to switch that,
because, uh,
I'm going to go with my gut.
I see the florist being
too good to be true,
and I'm going to go that
she is a bad singer.
- I'm locking that in.
- Oh!
I don't know. I don't know.
- Now, florist...
- All: Let's see your voice!
I hope he made
the right decision.
Please be bad. Please.

My name is elisa chavez.
My stage name is elilo.
I started selling flowers
about three years ago
and I'm also pursuing
a music career.
What made you want
to do this show?
I want to encourage
others to step out of
their comfort zone...
- Yes.
- ...To follow their dreams.
- You are a star!
Give it up for florist.
- Yes.
- Yes. She is a superstar.
- Yay!
- Remarkable.
Oh, luan. Oh, man.
- Wow.
You've eliminated
three good singers
and no bad singers,
meaning you've still
yet to get off the mark.
However, anything
can happen on this show.
And remember, 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 still could be
taking home $100,000.
That's right.
So let's get into it
after the break.
This is
"I can see your voice."
luan, keep the faith.
Let's keep the faith.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
oh, luan, has not gotten off
to the best start.
The three singers
he has picked so far have all
turned out to be good,
but that $100,000 could still
be very much in play.
- That's right.
- Let's play unlock my life,
day in the life edition.
This week, in order
to reveal more clues
about our remaining
secret voices,
I sent each of them to record
their own video diary,
and it is filled with
hints and clues
about who they are
and what they do,
and most importantly,
whether or not they can sing.
Just like always,
you only get to see one.
But you can still eliminate
any of the three remaining
secret voices.
And remember, luan,
if it's a good singer,
then the video will
contain 100% true facts.
But if the singer is bad,
then the video could be
riddled with lies.
And by the way, their voices
may have been slightly altered.
Wow. We don't really
know much about
the softball player at all,
and I am confused on her story.
I'm going to pick to unlock
the life of the softball player.
Very good. So let's play
unlock my life,
day in the life edition.
I love to start my day
with a bunch of greens
and healthy foods.
It just gives me the energy
I need to get everything done.
A big chunk of my day
is devoted to writing,
whether it's the next
children's book I'm working on,
musical productions
I'm outlining,
or just the next song
I want to create.
I put a lot of strain
on my voice with rehearsals
and performances,
so I live on honey,
lemon, and tea.
My life has really
changed since appearing
in "thoroughly modern millie."
but I still make sure
to find time
for the other passions
in my life, too.
- I, for some reason,
don't buy the full video.
- Me neither.
Yeah, I think she
doesn't have a good voice.
Doesn't have a good voice. Why?
In looking at the whole thing
when she's having the tea
with the lime--
- so you weren't buying it.
- It just seemed
a little staged to me.
I agree with you.
I think she's a bad singer.
- Really?
- I just--
you guys know, I was like,
"this is idina menzel, okay?"
but there wasn't
a single photo of her
with a mic in her hand.
You know, we see those a lot.
But what if she's--
if she does do
broadway type stuff,
then she wouldn't really
be standing in front
of a microphone.
- Yes.
- I agree.
It's all there to throw you off.
It's all there to confuse you.
We did see pictures of her at
the garry marshall theatre,
which is a place
that they do musicals.
- Yeah. Okay.
- A lot.
So, my gut reaction,
and then seeing
some of the stuff
was that she was a good singer.
- Okay.
- And a reminder,
you can eliminate any of the
three remaining secret voices.
Oh, man. I'm very conflicted
on softball player still,
so I don't want to make this
decision on her yet.
Mountain biker
was able to perform
and the voice did
kind of match him.
The jason aldean tribute artist
looks the part,
but it almost seems
like he's overselling.
So I'm going to go with
the jason aldean tribute artist.
He's probably a bad singer,
and that's my final answer.
I'm going to lock that in.
Wow. Okay.
Okay,
jason aldean tribute artist,
head to the stage of truth.
- Come on, lu. Get some money.
- Yeah, I know. I know.
Jason aldean tribute artist...
All: Let's see your voice!
- He broke out the guitar now.
- Uh-oh.
Hummingbird.
It's a $4,000 guitar.

wow. Jason aldean
tribute artist,
you are the real deal.
That was incredible.
Tell us who you are really.
My name is greg west,
aka the ultimate aldean.
- Aww, yeah.
- And what made you
want to do the show?
I think tribute bands and
tribute artists got a bad rap.
- Yeah.
- And so I thought
I would come out here
and kind of prove that wrong.
And you did. Give it up for
jason aldean tribute artist.
- Yay.
- Outstanding.
However, man, we're kind of
speechless right now.
- This is a tough game
by the way.
- It's a tough game.
- It really is.
- I didn't expect this to be
this tough of a game.
I know.
This is a very tough game.
I have never been more
stumped in my life.
It's so weird.
I don't understand
what's happening.
Okay, though, sadly,
luan, you still haven't
got off the mark.
But hang in there.
- Yeah.
- All you need is one
good singer at the end
to win $100,000.
It's okay, luan.
You're still in the game.
We're down to our last
two secret voices,
meaning you are two
decisions away from $100,000.
When we come back,
we will be turning
the heat all the way up.
This is
"I can see your voice."
only on fox.
- Wow.
- This is crazy.
I don't like it.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
and, luan, we're not making
things easy for him.
He has picked four good singers.
No bad singers.
We're down to our last two
secret voices.
You can still win $100,000.
How are you doing right now?
I came into this with
the thoughts of the experience
more than anything.
And obviously money is great,
but meeting you guys
and also meeting
one of my idols,
that's one of the biggest things
out of this, so...
- Yay!
- The feeling's mutual, brother.
The feeling's mutual.
Right now, it is time
for our final challenge.
It's interrogation.
- Okay!
- Luan, you're about
to get the opportunity
to grill either one of our
remaining secret voices,
softball player
or mountain biker.
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.
We kind of went already into
the life of the softball player,
and I do remember
the mountain biker's singing
voice from the lip syncing.
I think for that reason,
I'm going to go with him,
and that's going to be
my final decision.
All right, luan.
Your 30 seconds starts
in 3, 2, 1, go.
Whose career would
you want to mirror?
My music mentor john simpson.
What were your biggest fears
getting into the music industry?
Fear, regret, and insecurity.
What do you feel like
when you're on stage?
I feel powerful, and I feel
connected to my audience.
Do you have a mentor in music?
Yes, my teachers
from music school.
Which artist would
you most want to duet with?
Probably onerepublic
or mac demarco.
- All right.
- Panel?
First of all,
no one pulls out john simpson.
That's clearly someone that
means something to him.
And this is his moment
to give that person some props
on national television, like--
yeah, I think he was specific
and didn't waver on his answers.
- Yeah.
- Yes, and the tone of his voice
compared to
the first performance,
it was similar
in that whole vein.
I'm going to place my bet
that he is a good singer.
I feel like the answers
were so specific,
if I was faking it,
I'd come up with--
- more obvious answers.
- Yeah, something else.
- Yeah, something basic.
- Yeah.
Yeah. I think he's
a good singer.
I disagree.
I think the mountain biker
is a bad singer.
- Really?
- There's something behind
the way he's speaking
that is awkward.
Now, luan, it's time
to make a decision.
I think mountain biker
is very confident when
I was interrogating him,
and he could be a good singer.
Still not completely
sold on softball player,
so I'm going to select
softball player as a bad singer,
and I'm going to lock that in.
Okay, that means mountain biker
will be going through
to the finale to duet
with none other than shaggy.
But before we do that,
softball player...
All: Let's see your voice!
She's grinning.
- Let's all hold virtual hands.
- We're holding virtual hands.
- Shaggy, come on. Shaggy.
- Shaggy, hold our hands.
Please be bad.

Softball player,
you just got luan
- $15,000 right here.
- $15,000.
You are on the board!
Who are you really?
- I am angie bullaro.
- So what made you
want to do the show?
Oh, my god.
I love singing so much.
It's my absolute favorite.
In my head,
I'm an amazing singer.
- Thank you for stepping up
to the plate.
- Yes!
- Give it up for
softball player.
- Wow.
- Yeah!
- A real mvp.
All right, luan, we are down
to our last secret voice,
and if that secret voice
is a good singer,
- you could be taking
home $100,000.
- Wow.
And you're about to make
the biggest decision yet.
After the break.
This is "I can see your voice."
welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
the pressure in here
is getting intense.
Luan, we are down to
our last secret voice,
the mountain biker.
Now it's 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 standing up there
to duet with shaggy.
And so now for
the first time in the game,
you are hoping mountain biker
is a good singer.
Here is the decision
you have to make.
Luan, you can either walk away
with the $15,000,
or you can play on
for one final round,
our grand finale.
And if mountain biker
turns out to be a good singer,
your winnings will shoot up
to $100,000.
However, you get it wrong,
and mountain biker
turns out to be a bad singer,
you'll go home with nothing.
Panel?
The fact is that
we had four good singers,
- and would they
stack it with five?
- They have before.
- They have before?
- Yes.
The $15,000 is a sure thing.
I would walk away.
I feel like I've always
bet on myself
and to believe in my gut.
So I think this is a moment
that I would tell you
to really trust your gut.
And my gut is telling me,
boy, that he is a good singer.
The odds are kind of crazy
because you've eliminated
so many good singers.
- Yeah.
- But I felt like he could sing
when I saw him lip sync.
I think he's a good singer
and I would go for it.
Adrienne:
Okay, luan, I believe that
he is a good singer,
but I am safe squirrel
over here.
- Walk away with
the money you have.
- Oh, man.
- $15,000 is still
a lot of money.
- Yeah.
It can help your parents out.
$15,000, we could
remodel some things.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, but 15k
ain't 100k, brah.
You know, it was slow.
It started off slow for you,
and then you finally got it.
I think he's a good singer.
Go for it.
Luan, you've heard
from the panel.
Which way are you leaning?
Oh, wow. I am so
conflicted right now.
It would mean the world
if I got 100k.
I'd be able to get
a house for my parents.
That would be
life-changing money, for sure.
And I do feel like he could sing
from everything that we did.
But again, I go back to
the fact of, like,
I should probably
play it safe, too.
Because even if he is
a good singer
and I walk home with 15k,
I'm happy with 15k.
Most important thing
is to make sure
my parents are proud.
They're going to be
so proud that you're such
a great adult...
- Thank you.
- ...And grew up so great
in this country.
So, I think whatever you decide
is going to be awesome.
I'm going to lock in my money.
- Yeah, that's--
- so what is your
final decision?
I'm going to lock in the 15k.
That's my final decision.
Ken:
All right. Lock it in.
Locking it in. 15k.
- Luan, you've won $15,000.
- Whoo!
- You're guaranteed.
That is yours.
- Whoo! Yes.
But I am sure you and america
would love to find out
what would've happened
had you played on.
Shaggy, please go
and join mountain biker
on the stage of truth
for the grand duet finale.
Luan, if mountain biker
is a good singer,
you would have
taken home $100,000.
But if he's a bad singer,
your money is safe,
because you are leaving with
the $15,000 instead of nothing.
Please put your hands together
for shaggy and mountain biker.

favorite guessing game...
"I can see your voice!"
through a series of clues,
could you identify
bad singers...
( wailing )
♪ free your mind
- from good singers...
- ( vocalizing )
...Without ever hearing them
sing a note?
Tonight, helping our contestant
are cheryl hines...
I loved him.
- Adrienne houghton...
- Wow.
- Margaret cho...
- I'm so nervous.
- Rachael harris...
- Is that even possible?
...And music superstar shaggy.
Show me the money.
And what secret celebrity
will be revealed
in tonight's golden mic?
Oh.
And it all comes down
to the $100,000 decision.
Let's all hold virtual hands.
Oh, my god.
Welcome to
"I can see your voice!"
helping tonight's contestant
is our glamorous panel
of celebrity detectives.
Let's meet tonight's contestant.
Hoping to take home $100,000,
- it's luan from greensboro,
north carolina?
- Hey!
Oh, my god,
I'm from greensboro,
north carolina.
- I know. I know.
- You're-- my son is here.
- Oh, my god.
- Dude, I've gotten
that many times.
Tell me
all about yourself please.
Well, first off,
I'm going to say this
on probably behalf of all
asian-americans out there,
that you're probably
one of the biggest idols
for all of us because--
- yay!
- Don't make me cry.
You're too kind, because
if it wasn't for margaret cho,
I wouldn't be here.
- Luan: Okay, margaret!
- Margaret cho. It's very true.
I was margaret's opening act
when I was a student at duke,
and as an asian-american,
just so proud to be with you
and with margaret tonight.
- Yay! I'm so proud!
- Thank you.
Thank you, guys.
Tell me about yourself.
What do you do for a living?
My family owns two nail salons
and a beauty studio
and I help manage them.
What would you do
with 100 grand
if you were lucky enough
to win it?
I wasn't born here.
I was born in vietnam.
And my parents did a lot
for us to come to america.
My dad actually went through
a refuge camp for seven years,
sacrificed his whole life
pretty much,
and I want to use the money
to invest in a house for them.
- Yes.
- I love it.
And we want you
to make a stack full of cash,
so 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 softball player.
She's been a fixture on
the competitive softball scene
for ten years,
but her career threw her
a curveball when she caught
her first singing break
playing muzzy van hossmere
in "thoroughly modern millie."
- wow.
- Number two,
it's cafeteria server.
He works at
his former chicago high school
dishing out lunch.
But now with his gospel group,
he is ready to serve up
a huge portion of stardom.
I don't know.
Number three,
it's pharmacy tech!
By day at the pharmacy,
you'll find him in the basement
mixing up the medicines,
but he also sings in a highly
competitive a capella group.
I'm puzzled.
Number four,
it's jason aldean
tribute artist.
This singing cowboy
performs tribute concerts
all over america,
and tonight he's ready to hit
the old dirt road to fame.
- Oh.
- Number five, it's florist.
With a voice that's
as fresh as a daisy,
she is lead vocalist
in her church band,
and released her first single
on spotify in 2019.
I see it.
Number six,
it's mountain biker.
He sings to build his stamina
while he's cycling
through rough terrain,
but also pedals his wares as
a music software engineer,
even working on a track
for x ambassadors.
He's going to surprise us.
So let's get a quick
recap of the rules.
There are six secret
voices up on that stage,
but you'll never know
exactly how many good
and how many bad singers
there will be,
and your job is to use clues
to eliminate the bad singers.
For each one you eliminate,
you will earn $15,000.
Wow.
That's a lot 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.
And if they're a good singer,
you could win $100,000.
- Oh, my god.
- That's the goal.
And remember, this season,
you can now activate
the golden mic.
- Ooh.
- Ahh.
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.
And remember you must
activate the golden mic
during one of
the three lip sync rounds.
Okay.
Let's get into
the investigation with
our first lip sync showdown.
Okay, the secret voices will be
performing two at a time,
and you get to choose which
two voices you want to see,
but choose wisely, because
at the end of each round,
you have to eliminate
one of them.
I'm going to go with
the softball player.
She looked like she could
be a good singer,
but it's a little too obvious.
So, I think she's going
to be a bad singer.
And then I'm going to go
with pharmacy tech.
I can't imagine going
to cvs, walgreens,
and then he's just back there
jamming it out to tylenol.
I think he's also
probably the bad singer.
The mitts are off
on this one.

wow. Give it up
for softball player
and pharmacy tech.
- Panel?
- Does anyone else think that
the softball player
looks like idina menzel?
- Oh, my god.
- Yeah, that's good.
- Adrienne: Do you see it?
- Ken: Yes!
I believe that she has got
a broadway background.
That's what she really loves.
That's what she's into.
It was very idina menzel.
She's a good singer.
Yes, it felt like she was in
the right placement
with the rifts.
I think the softball player
struck out.
Ha!
Because the vocal and her body
was not quite there.
I think she seemed rehearsed.
It wasn't as convincing for me.
I think she's a bad singer.
As far as the pharmacy tech,
he was pretty convincing.
And then the whole wink thing,
maybe that's his
little way to say,
"I know you thought I couldn't
sing, right? But, yo."
I don't know.
My husband told me never to
trust anybody who winks.
- It was a whole wink
on the beat.
- Yeah!
- ♪ watermelon sugar high
- ♪ high
- yeah. No.
- I don't trust the wink.
Pharmacy tech was giving me
some jaywalk with the moves,
a tiktok dance.
I feel like the pharmacy tech
is a good singer.
Now remember, luan, you have
that golden mic lifeline.
- I'm going to save
the golden mic.
- Okay. Very good.
- Luan, it is time
to make a decision.
- Yeah.
Who do you think
is a bad singer?
Okay, the softball player
seemed like she was matching up
with her lip syncing.
I'm going to say
she is a good singer.
To me, the pharmacy tech
was overselling it.
As a salon manager, I had to
flirt with a lot of girls
who came in my salon,
so I could see him doing
kind of similar things.
I'm going to eliminate
the pharmacy tech.
He's a bad singer,
and I'm going to lock that in.
Wow. Love it. Decisive.
Softball player, you can
return to your podium.
You are staying in the game.
- Ken: Pharmacy tech...
- All: Let's see your voice!
- Okay. Uh-oh.
- He's got that confident walk.
Still not fooled by it.

Tell us about yourself.
I've been working as
a pharmacy technician
for three years, so...
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Awesome.
- I'm izzy, by the way.
Izzy saadah.
- What a voice.
- Thank you.
What made you want
to do the show?
A ton of my life, a lot of
people didn't know I could sing.
So, I wanted to come
on a show like this
and show people to
expect the unexpected.
- Yes. Okay.
- Yes.
- Give it up for pharmacy tech.
- Thank you. Thanks, everyone.
- Yay!
- Outstanding.
All right, luan,
you didn't make any money,
but don't worry,
there's a lot of show left.
- Yes.
- Don't go anywhere.
After the break,
luan will be selecting
the next two secret voices.
This is
"I can see your voice,"
only on fox.
- Okay.
- The wink at the end was like,
"what'd you say about me?"
welcome back to
"I can see your voice,"
the only show where
spotting terrible talent
can make you really rich.
Luan, before the break
you eliminated pharmacy tech.
You didn't make any money,
but you still have
four remaining secret voices
left to hear from.
Now it's time for our
second lip sync showdown.
I'm going to select
jason aldean tribute artist.
I think he's looking
too much the part
that I'm going to say
that's going to be a fake out.
He's probably a bad singer.
And I'm going to go with
the cafeteria server.
I'm going to say he's
a good singer.
He does look like
he could be singing gospel.
Yeah, I think he's got
this one right.
So, give it up for
jason aldean tribute artist
and cafeteria server.
♪ oh, don't you wanna
stay here a little while? ♪
♪ don't you wanna hold
each other tight? ♪
♪ don't you wanna fall asleep

- whoa. Whoa. Whoa!
- Panel?
I would have to say that
the jason aldean tribute artist
is not a good singer.
I don't see how that voice
is the same as the lip sync.
Adrienne, what are your
thoughts right now?
Oh, I respectfully disagree.
I believed that was his voice.
This for me
matched up perfectly.
I am not buying it.
I don't think he's
a good singer.
If somebody's a tribute artist,
they'd really be working
the stage more,
and he did not feel that
comfortable to me on stage.
And then cafeteria server,
I loved him.
- He came to life when
the song came on.
- That's true.
So, I think he's a good singer.
I disagree. I felt like
the moves were too put on,
and were like, "I practiced
these in front of a mirror."
- like with the stop.
- Okay.
Yeah, I'm kind of in agreement
with the whole stop.
It feels rehearsed.
I think he's a bad singer.
But I do think
jason aldean tribute artist,
I was more convinced.
You have to be
really a good singer
to be a tribute artist.
And remember, luan, you can
still activate your golden mic.
Do you want to use it now
or save it for later?
After the pharmacy tech,
I'm confused about everything,
- so I am going to use
the golden mic.
- Okay.
Which secret voice would
you like to hear about?
I would love to hear about
the cafeteria server.
After hearing from the panel,
I don't think that
he is a good singer,
but I'm thinking
I do need another voice in this.
Mystery celebrity, let's...
All: See your face!
Hey, luan, it's awkwafina,
and I will be your
golden mic for the night.
Cafeteria server,
he has really good
stage presence.
He has the moves.
It almost seems like
he lives very comfortably
in the voice.
That being said,
a really good singer,
they wouldn't
emphasize certain things.
They would just let it go.
I am going to say
cafeteria server
is a bad singer.
- Whoa.
- Wow!
Strong words from
my movie daughter
to my tv son.
Just remember, that was only
awkwafina's opinion.
So, luan, it is time
to make a decision.
Okay. So I'm still
not completely sold
on the jason aldean
tribute artist.
He could be a bad singer.
But I think the overall
consensus with the panel
and also awkwafina
was that the cafeteria server
was a bad singer,
and I do agree with them.
I'm going to eliminate
the cafeteria server.
Yeah, yeah.
And I'm going to lock it in!
- Good choice.
- All right, luan,
have you correctly
identified a bad singer
- and made yourself $15,000?
- I really hope so.
Now, cafeteria server, let's...
All: See your voice!
I'm praying that he does not
take us to church right now.
Oh, no.
Come on, luan.
Please be bad. Please be bad.
Please be bad.

Cafeteria server,
tell us who you are really.
My name is arvell.
I am a cafeteria server.
I serve at my old high school,
thornton township high school.
I sing in a gospel group called
the elder thomas singers.
And I can tell you ain't
never lip synced before.
I tried tiktok once.
He said once.
Please, give it up
for the cafeteria server.
Oh, luan, you've eliminated
two good singers,
and no bad singers,
meaning you still have
nothing in the pot.
But we've still got
a long way to go.
More of america's favorite
guessing game,
"I can see your voice"
after the break.
- I didn't see it coming.
- I thought it was like,
gospel singer?
Like, how obvious can we be?
Come on,
y'all should listen to me.
That's how bad I am at this.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice,"
where luan is having some
trouble getting off
of the starting block.
But we have many more
opportunities for him
to win big money.
- Yes.
- It is time for our third
- and final
lip sync showdown.
- Come on.
Mountain biker and florist.
Yay.

- dang. This is hard!
What the heck?
- Whoa.
Panel, what do you think?
Mountain biker just seemed
a little awkward to me,
how his performance was.
He was in it, but it just
wasn't convincing to me.
I agree. I would say
the mountain biker is awkward.
The song sounds awkward
and he looks awkward
performing it.
- So I think mountain biker
is a bad singer.
- Ken: Okay.
I thought the mountain biker,
that voice was so unique
and different,
- that it's probably
his real voice.
- Yeah.
I feel like he's a good singer,
and then she--
I feel like she is
too good to be true.
- Really?
- The way she embodied
the movements of
the song was great.
I would say that the florist
is a good singer.
The performance
was very convincing to me.
But, hey,
I've been wrong before.
- Same.
- Me, too.
But I think that
is actually her voice.
She obviously is in the arts.
She's a performer.
She's a dancer.
I think she's a good singer.
Luan, it is time to
make a decision.
Oh, my gosh. Oh, man.
From the beginning,
I always thought the florist
was almost
too good to be true.
But after that, I can see
the florist being a performer,
and then with
the mountain biker,
it does seem like
it could've been his voice,
but it was a little odd.
I think he's
the biggest wild card.
So I'm going to eliminate
the mountain biker.
- And--
- okay. Lock it in.
You know, I'm actually
going to switch that,
because, uh,
I'm going to go with my gut.
I see the florist being
too good to be true,
and I'm going to go that
she is a bad singer.
- I'm locking that in.
- Oh!
I don't know. I don't know.
- Now, florist...
- All: Let's see your voice!
I hope he made
the right decision.
Please be bad. Please.

My name is elisa chavez.
My stage name is elilo.
I started selling flowers
about three years ago
and I'm also pursuing
a music career.
What made you want
to do this show?
I want to encourage
others to step out of
their comfort zone...
- Yes.
- ...To follow their dreams.
- You are a star!
Give it up for florist.
- Yes.
- Yes. She is a superstar.
- Yay!
- Remarkable.
Oh, luan. Oh, man.
- Wow.
You've eliminated
three good singers
and no bad singers,
meaning you've still
yet to get off the mark.
However, anything
can happen on this show.
And remember, 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 still could be
taking home $100,000.
That's right.
So let's get into it
after the break.
This is
"I can see your voice."
luan, keep the faith.
Let's keep the faith.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
oh, luan, has not gotten off
to the best start.
The three singers
he has picked so far have all
turned out to be good,
but that $100,000 could still
be very much in play.
- That's right.
- Let's play unlock my life,
day in the life edition.
This week, in order
to reveal more clues
about our remaining
secret voices,
I sent each of them to record
their own video diary,
and it is filled with
hints and clues
about who they are
and what they do,
and most importantly,
whether or not they can sing.
Just like always,
you only get to see one.
But you can still eliminate
any of the three remaining
secret voices.
And remember, luan,
if it's a good singer,
then the video will
contain 100% true facts.
But if the singer is bad,
then the video could be
riddled with lies.
And by the way, their voices
may have been slightly altered.
Wow. We don't really
know much about
the softball player at all,
and I am confused on her story.
I'm going to pick to unlock
the life of the softball player.
Very good. So let's play
unlock my life,
day in the life edition.
I love to start my day
with a bunch of greens
and healthy foods.
It just gives me the energy
I need to get everything done.
A big chunk of my day
is devoted to writing,
whether it's the next
children's book I'm working on,
musical productions
I'm outlining,
or just the next song
I want to create.
I put a lot of strain
on my voice with rehearsals
and performances,
so I live on honey,
lemon, and tea.
My life has really
changed since appearing
in "thoroughly modern millie."
but I still make sure
to find time
for the other passions
in my life, too.
- I, for some reason,
don't buy the full video.
- Me neither.
Yeah, I think she
doesn't have a good voice.
Doesn't have a good voice. Why?
In looking at the whole thing
when she's having the tea
with the lime--
- so you weren't buying it.
- It just seemed
a little staged to me.
I agree with you.
I think she's a bad singer.
- Really?
- I just--
you guys know, I was like,
"this is idina menzel, okay?"
but there wasn't
a single photo of her
with a mic in her hand.
You know, we see those a lot.
But what if she's--
if she does do
broadway type stuff,
then she wouldn't really
be standing in front
of a microphone.
- Yes.
- I agree.
It's all there to throw you off.
It's all there to confuse you.
We did see pictures of her at
the garry marshall theatre,
which is a place
that they do musicals.
- Yeah. Okay.
- A lot.
So, my gut reaction,
and then seeing
some of the stuff
was that she was a good singer.
- Okay.
- And a reminder,
you can eliminate any of the
three remaining secret voices.
Oh, man. I'm very conflicted
on softball player still,
so I don't want to make this
decision on her yet.
Mountain biker
was able to perform
and the voice did
kind of match him.
The jason aldean tribute artist
looks the part,
but it almost seems
like he's overselling.
So I'm going to go with
the jason aldean tribute artist.
He's probably a bad singer,
and that's my final answer.
I'm going to lock that in.
Wow. Okay.
Okay,
jason aldean tribute artist,
head to the stage of truth.
- Come on, lu. Get some money.
- Yeah, I know. I know.
Jason aldean tribute artist...
All: Let's see your voice!
- He broke out the guitar now.
- Uh-oh.
Hummingbird.
It's a $4,000 guitar.
Come on.

wow. Jason aldean
tribute artist,
you are the real deal.
That was incredible.
Tell us who you are really.
My name is greg west,
aka the ultimate aldean.
- Aww, yeah.
- And what made you
want to do the show?
I think tribute bands and
tribute artists got a bad rap.
- Yeah.
- And so I thought
I would come out here
and kind of prove that wrong.
And you did. Give it up for
jason aldean tribute artist.
- Yay.
- Outstanding.
However, man, we're kind of
speechless right now.
- This is a tough game
by the way.
- It's a tough game.
- It really is.
- I didn't expect this to be
this tough of a game.
I know.
This is a very tough game.
I have never been more
stumped in my life.
It's so weird.
I don't understand
what's happening.
Okay, though, sadly,
luan, you still haven't
got off the mark.
But hang in there.
- Yeah.
- All you need is one
good singer at the end
to win $100,000.
It's okay, luan.
You're still in the game.
We're down to our last
two secret voices,
meaning you are two
decisions away from $100,000.
When we come back,
we will be turning
the heat all the way up.
This is
"I can see your voice."
only on fox.
- Wow.
- This is crazy.
I don't like it.
Welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
and, luan, we're not making
things easy for him.
He has picked four good singers.
No bad singers.
We're down to our last two
secret voices.
You can still win $100,000.
How are you doing right now?
I came into this with
the thoughts of the experience
more than anything.
And obviously money is great,
but meeting you guys
and also meeting
one of my idols,
that's one of the biggest things
out of this, so...
- Yay!
- The feeling's mutual, brother.
The feeling's mutual.
Right now, it is time
for our final challenge.
It's interrogation.
- Okay!
- Luan, you're about
to get the opportunity
to grill either one of our
remaining secret voices,
softball player
or mountain biker.
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.
We kind of went already into
the life of the softball player,
and I do remember
the mountain biker's singing
voice from the lip syncing.
I think for that reason,
I'm going to go with him,
and that's going to be
my final decision.
All right, luan.
Your 30 seconds starts
in 3, 2, 1, go.
Whose career would
you want to mirror?
My music mentor john simpson.
What were your biggest fears
getting into the music industry?
Fear, regret, and insecurity.
What do you feel like
when you're on stage?
I feel powerful, and I feel
connected to my audience.
Do you have a mentor in music?
Yes, my teachers
from music school.
Which artist would
you most want to duet with?
Probably onerepublic
or mac demarco.
- All right.
- Panel?
First of all,
no one pulls out john simpson.
That's clearly someone that
means something to him.
And this is his moment
to give that person some props
on national television, like--
yeah, I think he was specific
and didn't waver on his answers.
- Yeah.
- Yes, and the tone of his voice
compared to
the first performance,
it was similar
in that whole vein.
I'm going to place my bet
that he is a good singer.
I feel like the answers
were so specific,
if I was faking it,
I'd come up with--
- more obvious answers.
- Yeah, something else.
- Yeah, something basic.
- Yeah.
Yeah. I think he's
a good singer.
I disagree.
I think the mountain biker
is a bad singer.
- Really?
- There's something behind
the way he's speaking
that is awkward.
Now, luan, it's time
to make a decision.
I think mountain biker
is very confident when
I was interrogating him,
and he could be a good singer.
Still not completely
sold on softball player,
so I'm going to select
softball player as a bad singer,
and I'm going to lock that in.
Okay, that means mountain biker
will be going through
to the finale to duet
with none other than shaggy.
But before we do that,
softball player...
All: Let's see your voice!
She's grinning.
- Let's all hold virtual hands.
- We're holding virtual hands.
- Shaggy, come on. Shaggy.
- Shaggy, hold our hands.
Please be bad.

Softball player,
you just got luan
- $15,000 right here.
- $15,000.
You are on the board!
Who are you really?
- I am angie bullaro.
- So what made you
want to do the show?
Oh, my god.
I love singing so much.
It's my absolute favorite.
In my head,
I'm an amazing singer.
- Thank you for stepping up
to the plate.
- Yes!
- Give it up for
softball player.
- Wow.
- Yeah!
- A real mvp.
All right, luan, we are down
to our last secret voice,
and if that secret voice
is a good singer,
- you could be taking
home $100,000.
- Wow.
And you're about to make
the biggest decision yet.
After the break.
This is "I can see your voice."
welcome back to
"I can see your voice."
the pressure in here
is getting intense.
Luan, we are down to
our last secret voice,
the mountain biker.
Now it's 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 standing up there
to duet with shaggy.
And so now for
the first time in the game,
you are hoping mountain biker
is a good singer.
Here is the decision
you have to make.
Luan, you can either walk away
with the $15,000,
or you can play on
for one final round,
our grand finale.
And if mountain biker
turns out to be a good singer,
your winnings will shoot up
to $100,000.
However, you get it wrong,
and mountain biker
turns out to be a bad singer,
you'll go home with nothing.
Panel?
The fact is that
we had four good singers,
- and would they
stack it with five?
- They have before.
- They have before?
- Yes.
The $15,000 is a sure thing.
I would walk away.
I feel like I've always
bet on myself
and to believe in my gut.
So I think this is a moment
that I would tell you
to really trust your gut.
And my gut is telling me,
boy, that he is a good singer.
The odds are kind of crazy
because you've eliminated
so many good singers.
- Yeah.
- But I felt like he could sing
when I saw him lip sync.
I think he's a good singer
and I would go for it.
Adrienne:
Okay, luan, I believe that
he is a good singer,
but I am safe squirrel
over here.
- Walk away with
the money you have.
- Oh, man.
- $15,000 is still
a lot of money.
- Yeah.
It can help your parents out.
$15,000, we could
remodel some things.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, but 15k
ain't 100k, brah.
You know, it was slow.
It started off slow for you,
and then you finally got it.
I think he's a good singer.
Go for it.
Luan, you've heard
from the panel.
Which way are you leaning?
Oh, wow. I am so
conflicted right now.
It would mean the world
if I got 100k.
I'd be able to get
a house for my parents.
That would be
life-changing money, for sure.
And I do feel like he could sing
from everything that we did.
But again, I go back to
the fact of, like,
I should probably
play it safe, too.
Because even if he is
a good singer
and I walk home with 15k,
I'm happy with 15k.
Most important thing
is to make sure
my parents are proud.
They're going to be
so proud that you're such
a great adult...
- Thank you.
- ...And grew up so great
in this country.
So, I think whatever you decide
is going to be awesome.
I'm going to lock in my money.
- Yeah, that's--
- so what is your
final decision?
I'm going to lock in the 15k.
That's my final decision.
Ken:
All right. Lock it in.
Locking it in. 15k.
- Luan, you've won $15,000.
- Whoo!
- You're guaranteed.
That is yours.
- Whoo! Yes.
But I am sure you and america
would love to find out
what would've happened
had you played on.
Shaggy, please go
and join mountain biker
on the stage of truth
for the grand duet finale.
Luan, if mountain biker
is a good singer,
you would have
taken home $100,000.
But if he's a bad singer,
your money is safe,
because you are leaving with
the $15,000 instead of nothing.
Please put your hands together
for shaggy and mountain biker.
