Peesh ili luzhesh (Bulgarian: Пееш или лъжеш; English: Are you singing or lying?) is a Bulgarian television mystery music game show series based on the South Korean programme I Can See Your Voice. It premiered on Nova on 3 November 2016, and has aired for two seasons.

Gameplay

Format

Presented with a group of "mystery singers", a guest artist must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the group without ever hearing them sing, assisted by clues and a celebrity panel over the course of four rounds. At the end of a game, the last remaining mystery singer is revealed as either good or bad by means of a duet between them and one of the guest artists.

The winning mystery singer, regardless of being good or bad, gets a cash prize and will have to perform again at the encore concert.

Rounds

Visual round

• First impression (Bulgarian: Първо впечатление)

s1–2: The guest artist is given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance. Afterward, a muted video of each mystery singer that reveals only 0.3 seconds of their singing voice is played as an additional hint.

Introduction round

• Introduction (Bulgarian: Представяне)

s2: Each mystery singer self-introduces to guest artist and panelists. Good singers are telling the truth, while bad singers are allowed to lie.

Talent round

• Occupation (Bulgarian: Професия)

s1: The guest artist must describe one of the mystery singer's other talents, except "singing" itself. It may unrelated to the stage of truth, but it depends on their identity.

Lip sync rounds

• Lip sync (Bulgarian: Синхронизация на устните)
  • s1–2: Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song; good singers mime to a recording of their own, while bad singers mime to a recording by someone else.
  • s1: Each mystery singer performs a lip sync on stage and studio sections through split screen.

Interrogation round

• 100 seconds (Bulgarian: 100 секунди)

s1–2: The guest artist may ask questions to the remaining mystery singers. Good singers are required to give truthful responses, while the bad singers must lie.
