Everybody, Sing! (season 2)

The **second season** of the musical game show *Everybody, Sing!* premiered on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, and A2Z on September 24, 2022, replacing the second season of *Idol Philippines* and ended on February 19, 2023.

## Overview

The second season was confirmed by Vice Ganda on his noontime show *It's Showtime*.

### Promotion

On September 18, 2022, Vice Ganda appeared on the second season finale of *Idol Philippines* to promote the musical game show's new season. His appearance featured a performance of the song "Pearly Shells", where he would later give away one-thousand pesos to audience members who would sing the correct lyrics of the song when approached.

### Timeslot

The show airs every Saturdays and Sundays at 7:00 PM on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, and A2Z and a delayed telecast at 9:30 PM every Saturdays and 9:00 PM every Sundays on TV5 replacing the timeslot left behind by the second season of *Idol Philippines*.

### Changes

The second season saw a major re-improvement from the inaugural season. These were the following:

Production
* **Number of participants** — The maximum number of participants that can play was increased from twenty-five (25) to fifty (50), a first since the show's premiere in 2021,
* **Doubled jackpot prize** — The possible jackpot prize that a *Songbayanan* can take home was doubled, from five hundred thousand pesos (₱500,000), to one million pesos (₱1,000,000), with each player still receiving twenty-thousand pesos (₱20,000),
* **Interaction allowance** — Unlike the previous season, Vice was not permitted to interact with the players, with transparent wall barriers in place for each player to practice social distancing. Now that the show required its players to be fully vaccinated, Vice was then able to engage with them, but with transparent wall barriers still in place to maintain social distancing with other players, and
* **New graphics** — This season featured a new title card and improved graphics.

The changes were made possible due to the lowering of COVID-19 restrictions in the country.

Gameplay
* **Singko Segundo Challenge** – A new mini-round played before the jackpot round, in which the *Songbayanan* has a chance to add an additional five (5) seconds to their jackpot timer.
* **Two new game modes** — This season saw the debut of two new games, namely; **A-B-Sing!** and ***AYU-Sing Mo!***, during the 50 Funeral and Cemetery Workers episode on October 29, 2022.

## Guest vocalists

Vice would invite a series of guest singers in lieu of the resident band's lead vocalists.

* **Erik Santos** — The Philippines' Prince of Pop appeared as a guest vocalist on the 50 Sales Agents episode last October 9, 2022. Erik sang "*Kulang Ako Kung Wala Ka*" and "*Maging Sino Ka Man*", that were played during the games *The ChooSing One* and *ReverSing*.
* **Klarisse de Guzman** — The Philippines' Soul Diva appeared as a guest vocalist on the 50 *Mangingisda* episode last November 13, 2022, in promotion for her upcoming first major concert, *Klarisse: Her Time*. Klarisse sang "*Wala Na Talaga*" and "*Paalam Na*", that were played during the games *The ChooSing One* and *AYU-Sing Mo!*.
* **Darren Espanto** — The Asia's Heartthrob appeared as a guest vocalist on the 50 Dentists episode last February 11, 2023, in promotion for the finale of Dream Maker: Search for the Next Global Pop Group. Darren sang "Dying Inside (To Hold You)" (a cover of the original song by Timmy Thomas for the 2017 film All of You), and "*In Love Ako Sayo*", that were played during the games *The ChooSing One* and *AYU-Sing Mo!*.

## Gameplay

While games such as *Sing in the Blank*, *PicSing a Broken Song*, and *The ChooSing One* also appeared in this season, this season saw the debut of three new games; namely, *A-B-Sing*, *Ayu-Sing Mo!*, and the *Singko Segundo* Challenge. Both *A-B-Sing* and *Ayu-SING Mo!* were first introduced on the 50 Funeral and Cemetery Workers episode last October 29, 2022.

### A-B-Sing!

With the resident band playing the song as usual, this game requires the *SONG-pu* to guess the missing lyric based on its first letter and its number of syllables as their clue. The song stops for a while and the three-second timer starts for the contestant to figure out the missing lyric through the clue said by the resident band. The clue is based on the number of syllables of the missing lyric. For example, if the missing lyric is "comment", then the resident band will sing "C-C" as their clue. Each correct answer given by the *SONG-pu* adds an additional two seconds to their jackpot timer and gives them one thousand pesos (₱1,000).

### *AYU-Sing Mo!*

With the resident band playing the song as usual, this game requires the *SONG-pu* to arrange four jumbled lyrics in the correct order. The song stops for a while and the three-second timer starts for the contestant to arrange the four jumbled lyrics in order. Take note that the contestant should sing the exact order of lines with no added words or sentences in order for their answer to be correct. Each correct answer given by the *SONG-pu* adds an additional four seconds to their jackpot timer and gives them one thousand pesos (₱1,000).
