Gameplay
Format
Presented with a group of "mystery singers"[a] that identified only by their occupation or alias, the guest artist and contestant(s)[a] must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the selection without ever hearing them perform live, over the course of four rounds. They are also assisted with clues regarding singers' backgrounds, style of performance, and observations from a celebrity panel. 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.
From first to third season, if the last remaining mystery singer is good, the contestant(s) win €5,000; this is also applied to the winning bad singer selected by them.
From fourth to fifth season, the contestant(s) must eliminate one mystery singer at the end of each round, receiving €1,000 if they eliminate a bad singer. At the end of a game, if the contestant(s) decide to walk away, they will keep the money had won in previous rounds; if they decide to risk for the last remaining mystery singer, they win €7,500 if a singer is good, or lose their all winnings if a singer is bad.

Production
Following the successful broadcasts of The Masked Singer, RTL Nederland formally acquired the rights to produce a local adaptation of I Can See Your Voice in the Netherlands in March 2020,[6] with Warner Bros. International Television Production assigning on production duties.[7][8]
Broadcast history
I Can See Your Voice had originally scheduled to debut on 8 May 2020,[9] which was postponed until it began airing on 29 October 2020,[1][2] with filming taking place at Mediahaven in Amsterdam.[10] At that time during the COVID-19 pandemic, the show has been produced since then until the second season, with health and safety protocols implemented.
One day after first season finale, RTL 4 has already renewed for a second season,[11] with production moving to Studio's Aalsmeer;[12] it premiered on 22 April 2021,[13][14] until the conclusion with Silver Metz playing in a kids special on 10 June 2021.[15][16]
The third season premiere originally scheduled for 17 February 2022,[17] began airing earlier on 21 January 2022,[18][19] as a sudden replacement to the prematurely ended 12th season of The Voice of Holland due to a sexual misconduct controversy.[20][21] It was then followed by a fourth season, which premiered on 31 August 2022,[22][23] and concluded with Francis van Broekhuizen playing in a holiday special on 22 December 2022.[24]
In May 2023, RTL 4 renewed the series for a fifth season, with production returning to Mediahaven;[25] originally scheduled to premiere on 31 August 2023,[8] it was pushed back later to 19 October 2023.[26]
Cast
The series employs a panel of celebrity "detectives" who assist the guest artist and contestant(s) to identify good and bad mystery singers throughout the game. Beside with mainstays, guest panelists also appear since the first season. Overall, seven members have been assigned as panelists, with their original lineup consisting of Marieke Elsinga, Ronnie Flex, Samantha Steenwijk, Jeroen van Koningsbrugge, and Fred van Leer.[27] Later members also include Danny de Munk and Edsilia Rombley (from 2nd season).[28][29]
