Everybody, Sing! (season 1)

The **first season** of the musical game show *Everybody, Sing!* premiered on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, and A2Z on June 5, 2021, and ended on October 10, 2021.

## Overview

The game show was first set to premiere on March 15, 2020 on ABS-CBN, replacing *Gandang Gabi, Vice!*. However, Vice Ganda later revealed in his noontime show *It's Showtime* that the show was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. The game show later moved its premiere date to June 5, 2021, replacing the third season of *Your Face Sounds Familiar*.

## Gameplay

A community group consists of 25 individuals (usually with ages ranging from 18-59), dubbed as the "Songbayanan," divided equally into five rows. Each row is referred to as "SingKo" (I sing), (Lit. five). Each round, one row will be chosen by the "ChooSera" to play a particular game (includes "The ChooSing One, "Sing In The Blank," "ReverSing," "PicSing a Broken Song," "EngliSing ang Lyrics," "TagaliSing", and "LipSing"). Each game has a different set of mechanics; however, they have the same goal. Each contestant has two guesses to complete a line of a song. They will receive ₱1,000 for each correct guess, and the community group gets an additional 2–4 seconds on the jackpot round's timer. The more correct guesses, the greater the chances of winning the jackpot prize. The community group will then get to participate in the jackpot round ("Everybody GuesSing"), wherein the community group will be naming each song that is being played. If they name all 10 songs, they can share the winning jackpot of ₱500,000.

## 100 *Songbayanan* Special

The show aired its original iteration of the series dubbed as the **100 *Songbayanan* Special** after the 25 *Perya Performers* episode starting on September 25, 2021, and was aired for three consecutive weeks until October 10, 2021, in celebration for the finale of the first season. The episodes shown were taped before the COVID-19 pandemic and the ABS-CBN shutdown and legislative franchise denial.

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

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

Once all ten groups have played, the *Songbayanan* will then proceed to the Jackpot round, where all of them must accurately name ten song titles using their collected time from the preliminary rounds. The same mechanics are in place as with the modified version, where all contestants are only allowed to answer once. Once they have touched their individual buzzer to respond, they are unable to do so again.

One hundred thousand pesos (₱100,000) is given to the *Songbayanan* per every song title that they correctly guess. Just like the modified version, the basis for their take-home prize money will be multiplied to the number of their correct answers. For example, if a *Songbayanan* had only guessed 7 correct song titles, then they will only take home seven hundred thousand pesos (₱700,000) and each contestant will only receive seven thousand pesos (₱7,000) each. However, if the *Songbayanan* correctly guesses all ten song titles without fully consuming their jackpot timer, they will take home and divide equally the jackpot prize of two million pesos (₱2,000,000), with each individual receiving twenty thousand pesos (₱20,000) each.

The 100 *Taal* Survivors were the only group that took home and divided equally the two-million peso jackpot prize. Their episode was aired during the final week of the first season, which was on October 9–10, 2021.

This format was brought back for the third season.
