Speaking about the show, Adam shared: “I have been really impressed by the talent. We’ve seen the talent competition shows on television for the last decade, it’s a bit of that energy but it’s more specific, you’re asking someone to sound like someone we all know already – it’s a particular talent. It’s a new type of talent to celebrate and to kind of zero in on.

“I’ve been really impressed by the vocals on a lot of these groups.

“A lot of the artists that we are tackling are not just pop stars, they are known for their look, they are also pop stars known for their vocal ability. It’s exciting to see people step up to the challenge.”

Added Beverley: “It’s a real fun, mum, grandma, daughter, neighbour, everybody-can-get-involved show because everybody will have an opinion on the different teams that are going to be put forward to represent the different icons.

“We all love to hear people sing, we all love to hear people sing well. This country loves a talent show and a quiz show and this is the perfect combination of both. It’s perfect Saturday night television.”
