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.
Panelists and host
The panelists and host for season one were announced on March 03 2020. It featured TV host Krista Lensin, journalist, radio host and actress Brigitte Susanne Hunt, fashion artist Ženja Fokin and comedian Mart Juur. [3] For the second season, Fokin was replaced by Kristjan Jõekalda.[4] Popular entertainer Mart Sander is presenting the show.
