Tvoje tvář má známý hlas is a Czech reality singing series that is aired on Nova. It is both based on the Endemol format Your Face Sounds Familiar and an adaptation of the Spanish Tu cara me suena. The show was first broadcast on March 26, 2016,[1][2] and is still aired. The show involves eight or ten celebrities (singers, actors and television personalities) portraying various iconic singers each week to win 25,000 CZK for their chosen charity.
Format
The show challenges celebrities to perform as different iconic music artists every week, which are chosen by the show's "Randomiser". They are then judged by the panel of celebrity judges.
Each celebrity becomes transformed into a different singer each week, and performs an iconic song and dance routine well known by that particular singer. The 'randomiser' can choose any older or younger artist available in the machine, or even a singer of the opposite sex, or a deceased singer. Celebrity is transformed to look like well know Singer.
The contestants are awarded points from the judges based on their singing and dance routines. After the jury vote, the contestants have to give a set of points to a fellow contestant of their choice. The total score of each contestant is counted by summing the points from judges and contestant's voting. In case of a tie, the judges will choose the weeks winner. If a contestant shares last place with another contestant, only one came last that week – except for the special week of duets.
Whoever is at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the each show receives a cash prize for a charity of their choice and a further grand prize for the "series champion".
Voting
The contestants are awarded points from the judges (and each other) based on their singing and dance routines. The points go from 1 to 8, with 8 being the judge's favorite of the night. From the eighth season, the points go from 1 to 10 due to ten contestants. After that, each contestant gives 5 points to a fellow contestant of their choice (known as "Bonus" points). The judges' score is combined with the "Bonus" points.
