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 episode, with a panel of judges (Music/RobinThicke, Creator/JennyMcCarthy, Music/NicoleScherzinger, Creator/KenJeong, and an occasional rotating guest panelist) and the studio audience voting on which ones are best. The losers of each match-up then congregate at the end of each episode, with the one with the lowest votes being selected for [[TheReveal unmasking]] -- and elimination.
