# Cantor ou Impostor?

Cantor ou Impostor? (English: Singer or impostor?) is a Portuguese television mystery music game show based on the South Korean programme I Can See Your Voice. It premiered on SIC on 17 July 2022.

## Gameplay
### Format

Presented with a group of seven "mystery singers", a guest artist and a contestant must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the group without ever hearing them sing, assisted by clues and a celebrity panel over the course of five rounds. At the end of a game, the last remaining mystery singer is revealed as either good or bad by means of a duet between them and one of the guest artists.
The contestant must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each round, receiving €1,000 if they eliminate a bad singer. At the end of a game, if the contestant decides to walk away, they will keep the money had won in previous rounds; if they decide to risk for the last remaining mystery singer, they double their all winnings if a singer is good, or give it anyway to the winning bad singer selected by them.

### Rounds

* First impression (Portuguese: Primeiras impressões) The guest artist and contestant are given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance.
* Lip sync (Portuguese: Sincronia labial) Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song; good singers mime to a recording of their own, while bad singers mime to a recording by someone else.
* True or false? (Portuguese: Verdadeiro ou falso?) The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video package containing possible clues by one of the mystery singers of their choice.
* Interrogation (Portuguese: Interrogatório) The guest artist and contestant may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.
* Concealed voice (Portuguese: Voz secreta) The mystery singer lip syncs to the good singer's recording, then a bad singer's recording comes in the middle of the performance.
