The Singing Bee (AU)

The rules of the game are simple: you don't have to sing it well, you just have to sing it right.

The Singing Bee challenges contestants to accurately sing the lyrics to popular songs from the 1970s through to today. A live studio band and some of the top singers in the country play a familiar tune and when the music stops the contestant must finish the next part of the song word perfect.

With songs guaranteed to have viewers singing along at home, The Singing Bee features recognisable tunes that have inspired hilarious wrong answers. Each episode sees six brave contestants step into the spotlight, but there is no middle ground for partially correct answers - one wrong word and you're out of the game.

Through a process of elimination of song-based games the last person standing faces the ultimate melody mind-boggler and the opportunity to win up to $50,000 in cash.

Filmed in the Channel Nine Melbourne studios that have produced so many famous Australian television favourites over five decades, The Singing Bee is a program with a remarkable formula designed to entertain the whole family. (Source: Nine)
