Everybody, Sing! (season 3)

The **third season** of the musical game show *Everybody, Sing!* premiered on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z and TV5 on June 3, 2023, replacing the fifth season of *The Voice Kids*.

## Overview

On May 14, a five-second video was posted on the show's social media accounts, teasing the upcoming season. The teaser showcased a new set, revealing the stage and the microphones. Additionally, the video displayed the date "05.15.23" at the center, hinting that there will be an announcement about the show on May 15.

### Timeslot

The show airs every Saturday at 7:15 pm and Sunday at 7:00 pm on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, and TV5, taking over the timeslot previously held by the fifth season of *The Voice Kids*.

### Auditions

To audition for the show, individuals who are affiliated with a *Songbayanan* can participate by sending a direct message to the show's official social media accounts.

### Changes

This season saw more changes than the previous season. The following changes were implemented:

Format
* **Doubled number of participants**: The maximum number of participants that can play was increased from twenty-five (25) from the first season to fifty (50) during the second season and one hundred (100) for this season, bringing back the original number of participants since the show's premiere in 2021.
* **Doubled and potential increase of jackpot prize**: The possible jackpot prize that a *Songbayanan* can take home was once again doubled, from one million pesos (₱1,000,000) to two million pesos (₱2,000,000) and may have the chance to even increase to more than the latter, with each player guaranteeing a potential cash prize of twenty-thousand pesos or more, depending on the final result of their game.
* **More interaction allowance**: The face shields that were featured during the first and second seasons were removed to make way for the room of players that will play in a game. Still, the show required its players to be fully vaccinated.

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

Gameplay
* **Celebrity guests**: For the first time in the series, there will be "surprise" guest appearances every week instead of every other week during the previous season. These guests may duet with or substitute for the resident bands' vocalists or assist the host in giving the clues for the answers during some rounds.
* **Six additional games**: Aside from the nine original games that were featured during the previous seasons, six new games will be added for this season; therefore, each group will play a specific game.
* **Ultimate Everybody GuesSing?**: The jackpot round was divided into two parts in which the *Songbayanan* has a chance to win more than two million pesos (₱2,000,000).

## Gameplay

Each week, a community group dubbed as the *Songbayanan* will participate in ten games; each game will be played by a selected group chosen by the *ChooSera*. For this season, six new games are added, aside from the other nine original games that were featured during the previous seasons. Meanwhile, the jackpot round was divided into two parts, of which will be played before each episode ends. If a contestant fails to respond or gets their line wrong, their line will be skipped, and the song will continue until all players have exhausted their attempts.

The first five games and the first round of the jackpot round will be played on a Saturday episode, while the remaining five games and the final round of the jackpot round will be aired on a Sunday episode.
