Format

A group of celebrities compete anonymously on stage, singing in full costumes over a series of episodes. Each episode, a portion of the competitors are paired off into face-off competitions, in which each will perform a song of his or her choice. From each face-off, the panelists and live audience vote: the winner's safe for the week, while the loser is put up for elimination. At the end of the episode, the losers of the face-offs are then subjected to new votes of the panelists to determine who will not continue; the eliminated singer then enters a special room backstage where it turns its back to the camera, takes off its mask, then turns around to reveal his/her identity.

In addition to the singing competition, hints to each masked singer's identity are offered during the show. Pre-taped interviews are given as hints and feature the celebrities' distorted voices. The panelists are given time to speculate the identity of the singer after the performance and ask them a single question to try and determine their identity.

Costumes

The costumes are designed by Liisi Eesmaa[2] and partly feature baltic and national motives such as Vanapagan, a devil-like creature from the Estonian mythology as well as Jonnipunni, an infant-like looking Doll that is one of the most-common-baby-articles of the countries or Kalevipoeg, the protagonist of National Epic. They are partly also used on the Latvian counterpart of the show.
