Imagine American Idol if all the singers auditioning were at best mediocre and they just picked 6 at random and said "you'll do". Add some competitiveness by putting them in a semicircle, making them all sing the same song, switching singers every half-verse and then having them vote each other out publicly each round.
At least until the final rounds where the robot tone analyzer counts how many right notes were hit.
The loser has to go to the balcony and sing with the other losers. Sure, I'm crying because everyone voted me off, but I definitely want to go stand here and pretend to be happy.
So much cringe. It's glorious.
If you've ever been the sober person at a late night karaoke, this show will bring back those fond (or not so fond) memories.
Don't be turned off by the fact that it's in German. Turns out, while German's are apparently incredibly horrible singers, they are also some of the sweetest people I've ever watched on a TV game show.
