It’s Dance Mums but.

Seven needs to return to doing shows like this. Big event with high quality production values and non-stop promotion to build fanfare. With no big reality franchise on Seven (other than Big Brother and Farmer wants a wife) they need to do something familiar and popular and viewers will flock back.

Been there, done that. I can’t see how this can be interesting beyond one or two specials.


Seems that Ash is not a fan of original US version of Dance Moms.

I’d really hope any Australian version of Dance Mums (Come on, who in this country really spells it/says it as “Mom”? I certainly don’t!) would be far nicer and nowhere near as toxic as the US version seems to be.

Otherwise, we very well could be asking ourselves “Is this really the same Nikki Webster that Australia fell in love with as a 13 year old during the Sydney Olympics two decades ago?!” in 2020.

I found her rather annoying.

BBC One has commissioned Thames and Naked (both part of Fremantle) to produce I Can See Your Voice - a brand-new primetime mystery music guessing game that promises a whole new take on the singing gameshow genre as well as lots of music, comedy and play-along fun for the whole family to enjoy.

Each episode of the 8 x 60-minute series will see a team of two players aiming to win a cash prize by guessing who can and can’t sing from a group of mystery singers standing before them. But there’s a catch, can they predict who has the voice of an angel or who will leave them covering their ears in horror all without ever hearing them sing a note? Helping the players will be our panel of celebrity experts, who are joined each week by a different singing superstar.

As the singing sensations or musical masqueraders navigate through a round of lip sync challenges, they will be offering entertaining hidden clues to the panel of celebrity experts who will help the players whittle down the group until there’s only one singer left. The chosen one will then perform a duet with the singing superstar to reveal whether they can or can’t sing. If the players have picked a good singer then they will take the prize… but if a bad singer is revealed, the imposter will pocket the cash.

I Can See Your Voice will prove that when it comes to singing talent, what you see isn’t always what you get!

Charlotte Moore, Director BBC Content says: “This addictive, fun and immersive new entertainment series will offer BBC One viewers jaw-dropping reveals and gives the whole family a chance to get involved in this compelling new guessing game.”

Kate Phillips, Controller Entertainment Commissioning for the BBC says: “I Can See Your Voice is a riot, a funny and captivating show with so many incredible moments within a carousel of reveals. It’s addictive viewing.”

Amelia Brown, Managing Director, Thames, says: “I Can See Your Voice is the ultimate play-along game the whole family can take part in. It’s fun, comical and full of heart and we can’t wait to get stuck in and work with the BBC to bring this successful format to the UK.”

Diane Min, Head of Format Sales at CJ ENM adds: “I Can See Your Voice is one of the most powerful original formats with various local versions. With seven seasons since its 2015 premier in Korea, we are happy to have new countries to adapt the show to continue it’s success of travelling the world. We hope that I Can See Your Voice can continue to be the international format that represents Korean music entertainment.”

I Can See Your Voice will be broadcast on BBC One in 2021.

The series is based on a South Korean format from CJ ENM, debuting on Mnet in February 2015. Since the premiere, it has widely received acclaim with an International Emmy nomination for ‘Best Non-scripted Entertainment Program,’ and increasing interest for local adaptations. It has been successfully commissioned in over 10 countries including Germany and the USA.

LOL this sounds like a derivative version of The Masked Singer.

What’s the bet Seven’s gonna try this in light of the success of The Masked Singer?

Any word on whether any Australian network is considering this format?

We don’t need it. The Masked Singer is already enough and we don’t need an almost direct copycat.

Maybe a new type of singing show or something else please.

New reality format from Amazing Race US host Phil Keoghan (who hosted the show as well as created it with his wife) - Tough as Nails

I think it could hit a demographic to the blue-collar skewing shows like The Block, while not having it be a direct copy (in the sense of being a renovation shows). I think there’s potential for TaN to have success in Australia.

I am not really sure what I think of it.

Could be a worthwhile production for the summer.

I think 10 should look at a local version of celebrity karaoke club from ITV. Cheap to produce and could easily slot into an 8:30 Sunday night slot as some light entertainment.

Cooking Show (I know, but bear with); See no evil, Smell no evil, Taste no evil

Contestants, lets say three per ep, are offered three items, but;
the first they are only allow to smell it (so they can’t see it, or taste it)
the second, they can only taste it, and
the third they can only see it (but can’t taste it, so it might look like cheese, but it could be tofu, for example)

They then run off to their quarters, and thinking what they’ve seen/tasted/smelt, they make a “delicious” meal based on what they think the ingredients are.

Best interpretation wins, bonus points for getting the ingredients right. Run as a series, British style, where the top contestant goes on to the following week, so by the fourth episode the three winners meet again to decide the series champion.
