Can you hold a tune? Who Dares Sings!

Wednesday, 25 June 2008

There's one stage, one chance and one life changing sum of money for one lucky member of the studio audience in ITV1's brand new entertainment series Who Dare Sings!

Hosted by Denise Van Outen and Ben Shephard, Who Dares Sings! will challenge 100 members of the studio audience to take centre stage and belt out chart topping hits for a big cash prize.

The game show where anyone can step up the mike and sing to win. But with no panel to try and impress, our contestants will have to hope that they can hold their nerve and their ‘hot notes’ throughout the song.

Judging their performance is SAM a computer finely tuned to detect whether our contestants are hitting the hot notes.

Ten hot notes feature within each song, unaware which ones they are, the contestant will have to hit and hold these notes in order to receive a high score.

If these notes are missed or not held for the correct length of time, SAM will mark them lower.

But only one lucky voice will be left standing and have the chance to compete for the grand prize of £50,000. But with each performance closely scrutinised, one bum note could be the end of the road.

Ben Shephard says: “As an Essex boy born and bred I can't wait to start working with the Queen of Essex, Denise Van Outen. The format of the show promises an entertaining evening for all and one lucky punter will have the chance of walking away with some proper cash."

Denise says; "I'm always the first to get up on a karaoke night out with the girls, so I'm looking forward to being part of this massive Saturday night party.

"We've all sung into our hairbrushes or in the shower, but Who Dares, Sings gives people the opportunity to step into the spot light and sing on national TV. Ben tells me he can't sing, so hopefully I can teach him a thing or two."

Controller of Entertainment, John Kaye Cooper says: “It’s fantastic to have Denise and Ben at the helm of this exciting new series for ITV which combines the party atmosphere of a karaoke night with a fun gameshow format that could bring our winner instant fame and fortune.”
