With 'The X Factor' axed (as much as ITV try to convince us it's 'resting' in a very Monty Python way) and signs that even the reliable 'Britain's Got Talent' was wilting Simon Cowell dreams up this.

It's very nice of him to give some of his old mates a bit of work (Dawn French, Alesha Dixon, Gary Barlow) but this, like many a modern talent/game show is only worth watching for the last few minutes where the person decides to 'walk the line' or 'cash out'.

It's a bit like 'Masked Singer' in that sense.

Will this be the next big Cowell hit, or be a one year thing never to be spoken about again? Time will tell.

The game show genre features TV series with contestants competing against each other in various challenges, tasks, or quizzes to win prizes or rewards. Game shows are designed to engage viewers by presenting exciting and often competitive scenarios that involve participants using their knowledge, skills, and strategies to outperform their opponents and win.

The musical genre features stories that combine music, singing, dancing, acting, and often spoken dialogue to tell a story or convey a narrative. Musicals incorporate various elements of drama, music, and choreography to create a cohesive theatrical experience that engages audiences on multiple levels.

The show combines a talent contest with a gaming element, as singers decide whether to stay in the competition or cash out.
