The Singing Bee is a franchise musical game show on ABS-CBN channel that will test not the contestants’ talent in singing but their knowledge of song lyrics. The Philippine version is also known for its house band called the Bandble Bee, its singers tagged as the Songbees and dancers called the Honeybees.
Five contestants will play in the elimination round called “To Bee Continued” wherein each player has to continue the song once the band & singer stop. The remaining four will play on in the next 2 rounds where the new point system will be implemented. In “Jumble Bee” Round the missing lyrics are flashed on screen but jumbled. Each player has to sing the line in its correct order using all the jumbled words. If the player is correct, he earns 2 points. The third round is “Beedeoke” where the players take turns in singing their assigned lines. This time, each player has 3 blanks or missing lyrics to fill in. Each correct answer is worth 3 points.
In the pilot episode, the 2 contestants with the highest number of points will advance to the Jackpot Round called “The Final Countdown.” Since this is the final round, there will be 7 songs that will come from 7 different categories. The round begins with “Manuhan” wherein the host gives the name of an artist and the player who buzzes first must provide any song title recorded by the given artist. If the answer is correct, the player gets to use his own “diskarte” or technique by choosing the category in which he feels knowledgeable in. Every correct answer is worth 20, 000 pesos, but if a player gets four correct answers, he wins 1 Million Pesos and returns as the defending champion!
