100 Songbayanan Special

The ***100 Songbayanan Special*** is the season finale of the first season of Everybody, Sing!, which featured the game show's original format with 100 people, 10 games, and a two million peso jackpot prize. The three episodes featuring the said format were taped before the COVID-19 pandemic. This special was aired on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, and A2Z.

## Overview

The game was originally played with five games, each consisting of two rounds played by two different groups, with each row referred to as *SONGpu* (ten) and the group that will play each game will still be chosen at random by the *ChooSera*. Once a group has been selected to play a game, each correct lyric given by a contestant will earn one thousand pesos (₱1,000) if he or she sings his or her assigned line correctly (which will also be given to them immediately after their game) and adds one second to their jackpot timer.

After all ten groups have played, the *Songbayanan* will move on to the Jackpot round, in which they must correctly name ten song titles using the time they have accumulated from the preliminary rounds. The same rules apply as in the modified version, in which all contestants can only answer once. They are unable to respond again once they have touched their individual buzzer.

The first five (or, in rare cases, six) rounds will be shown on a Saturday episode, followed by the remaining five (or four) rounds and the Jackpot round on a Sunday episode.

The *Songbayanan* receives one hundred thousand pesos (₱100,000) for each correct song title guess. The basis for their take-home prize money will be multiplied by the number of correct answers, just like in the modified version. For example, if a *Songbayanan* only correctly guesses 7 song titles, they will only receive seven hundred thousand pesos (₱700,000) and each contestant will only receive seven thousand pesos (₱7,000). If the *Songbayanan* correctly guesses all ten song titles without exhausting their jackpot timer, they will take home and divide the jackpot prize of two million pesos (₱2,000,000) equally, with each individual receiving twenty thousand pesos (₱20,000).
