Like many other series of its ilk, the premise involves a total of anywhere from 12 to 22 singers going head to head with each other in each season, with a panel of judges (usually Music/RobinThicke, Creator/JennyMcCarthy, Music/NicoleScherzinger, Creator/KenJeong, and an occasional rotating guest panelist; with ''Series/TheMaskedSingerUK'' judge Music/RitaOra replacing Nicole for Season 11) and the studio audience voting on which ones are best, with the one with the lowest votes being selected for [[TheReveal unmasking]] -- and elimination.

The twist here comes from the contestants all being known celebrities performing anonymously, wearing elaborate costumes and only being referred to as their persona: the identity of the contestant is only revealed after they are eliminated. Their non-singing voices are also synthesized to further obfuscate them. Viewers and the judges are given clues (primarily in the form of a short video introducing the contestant and alluding to their personal life, as well as physical clues brought on stage), and the judges are encouraged to share their speculation on who each contestant might be.
