# Veo cómo cantas (Mexican game show)

Veo cómo cantas (English: I see how you sing) is a Mexican television mystery music game show based on the South Korean program I Can See Your Voice. It premiered on Las Estrellas on 20 August 2023, although Univision did air earlier on 6 August 2023.

## Gameplay
### Format

Presented with a group of ten "mystery singers", a guest artist and contestant(s) 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.
In the first two or three rounds, two oppposing contestants must eliminate one mystery singer from an assigned group. Afterward, the contestant having of a least one or two bad singer eliminations will proceed to the next round.
The contestant must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each round, receiving MX$20,000 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 win MX$500,000 if a singer is good, or lose their all winnings if a singer is bad.

### Rounds

* Group playback (Spanish: Playback de grupo) Divided into two groups of five mystery singers, each of them have to perform a lip sync of their own. At the conclusion of performances, the contestant eliminates one mystery singer from each group.
* Discover my life (Spanish: Descubre mi vida) The guest artist and contestant are presented with a video package containing possible clues by one of the mystery singers.
* Secret studio (Spanish: Estudio secreto) The guest artist and contestant are presented with video from a recording session by one of the mystery singers, but pitch-shifted to obscure their actual vocals.
* Playback challenge (Spanish: Desafío playback) A pair of mystery singers perform a lip sync of their own through a showdown to one song each. At the conclusion of the performances, the guest artist and contestant eliminates one performer from each group. Optionally, the contestant may use the Golden Mic once during the game, in which they may hear additional clues and observations from a celebrity guest off-stage.
* Interrogation (Spanish: Interrogatorio) 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.

## Background
### Production and development

Following the successful broadcasts of ¿Quién es la máscara?, Televisa formally acquired the rights to produce a local adaptation of I Can See Your Voice in Mexico, having presented from Visión21 upfront in October 2020, as well as CJ ENM's dealing with Fremantle the next month. At the latest upfront in May 2023, Univision would also simulcast the said show, following by TeleOnce in July 2023 that was never materialized, because the Liberman Media Group did not have broadcasting rights from TelevisaUnivision.
Besides from the main program, a postgame aftershow was also conducted, with Pablo Chagra [es] and Gabriel Coronel serving as co-hosts.

### Naming

Veo cómo cantas (English: I see how you sing) is adapted to the Mexican counterpart that also came from a title of the Spanish counterpart itself; it was tentatively titled Me late que cantas (English: I feel you sing).
