Peesh ili luzhesh

Peesh ili luzhesh (Bulgarian: Пееш или лъжеш; English: Are you singing or lying?) is a Bulgarian television mystery music game show based on the South Korean programme I Can See Your Voice. It first aired on Nova on 3 November 2016.

Presented with a group of "mystery singers", a guest artist must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the group without ever hearing them sing, assisted by clues and a celebrity panel over the course of four rounds. At the end of a game, the last remaining mystery singer is revealed as either good or bad by means of a duet between them and one of the guest artists.

The winning mystery singer, regardless of being good or bad, gets a cash prize and will have to perform again at the encore concert.
