Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids is a spin-off of the singing and impersonation competition for celebrities Your Face Sounds Familiar. The show debuted on January 7, 2017 on ABS-CBN. The show is hosted by Billy Crawford, with Sharon Cuneta, Gary Valenciano and Ogie Alcasid serves as the show's judges.[1]
In January 2020, ABS-CBN announced that the show will have a third season after Sharon Cuneta renewed her contract with the network.
Overview
The show is part of the Your Face Sounds Familiar franchise and is based on a similar competition format in Portugal called A Tua Cara não me é Estranha: Kids, but however, this spin-off focus on children celebrities.
Format
The show challenges celebrities to perform as different iconic music artists every week, which are chosen by the show's "Randomizer". They are then judged by the panel of celebrity judges.
Each celebrity becomes transformed into a different singer each week, and performs an iconic song and dance routine well known by that particular singer. The "Randomizer" can choose any older or younger artist available in the machine, even a singer of the opposite gender or a deceased singer.
The contestants are awarded points from the judges based on their singing and dance routines. The total score of each contestant is counted by summing the points from judges. In case of a tie, the judges will choose the week's winner.
Whoever is at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the each show receives a cash prize for a charity of their choice and a further grand prize for the entire season's champion.
Development
On August 15, 2016, Billy Crawford announced that Your Face Sounds Familiar will return for a third season, which was later revealed as the "Kids" edition. The first Kids season premiered on January 7, 2017.
On March 21, 2020, the first season was brought back on the primetime lineup of ABS-CBN's Yes Weekend block, temporarily replacing the ongoing season of The Voice Teens until the network was shut down.
Prize
Every week, the winner will win a cash prize of one-hundred thousand pesos, half will be given to the chosen charity. The grand prize is one-million pesos. A special prize is also given to the champion varying per season.
Host and judges
In November 2016, Ogie Alcasid was revealed as one of the judges alongside Sharon Cuneta and Gary Valenciano (who are both judges from the regular edition.) The three are dubbed as "The Jury." Billy Crawford serves as the host for the local kids version of Your Face Sounds Familiar.
