Summary
“Leave your fame at the door.”
People listen more avidly to songs that are sung by their favorite singers and this is why a good catchy song becomes popular. But what if you could judge singers based on their vocal skills and not their image by masking their identities?
Creating a stage where fame is left at the door so that each singer can be judged purely by their vocal talent. The underlying premise of “The King of Mask Singer” will satisfy the “real” factor that TV viewers yearn for.
Eight celebrity contestants wearing a mask engage in a singing battle and 100 live studio audiences will vote for the winner. Each loser in the individual match-ups will be asked to take off their mask, and reveal themselves.
The show will follow a tournament format and the winner will get to keep their mask on throughout the show.
Who will be crowned the King of Mask singer at the end?
