Your Face Sounds Familiar


Your Face Sounds Familiar is a Spanish interactive reality television franchise series developed by Endemol and Antena 3, where celebrity contestants impersonate singers. The format, similar to Dutch television series Soundmixshow, was first used in Spain under the title :es:Tu cara me suena|Tu cara me suena in 2011.

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.
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.
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".

''Your Face Sounds Familiar'' around the world

Since the format debuted in Spain, there have been more than 47 versions worldwide. The Romanian Version of Your Face Sounds Familiar is the only format awarded for 14 series produced.

Controversy

The show is highly controversial as several performances have been known to use Blackface to impersonate Black people in various countries, including in several countries with a problematic racist subculture, and where there is a relatively small black population. After the George Floyd protests, Damir Kedzo, a winner of the Croatian series, apologized for having used blackface in several impersonations, such as of The Weeknd, when he partook on the show 4 years earlier, though also saying that "That being said. The responsibility lies in artist who are being impersonated too. They know about it. Because EVERY song is approved by artists publishers. They know about it."
