Don’t Forget the Lyrics! premiere date

The upcoming show, Don’t Forget the Lyrics!, is a revival of a popular TV show of the same name. The concept is simple yet a little difficult to follow.

Contestants will pick songs from different genres and sing them with lyrics projected on a screen in front of them. When the music stops, the screen also shuts down. Will the contestants be able to remember the next line of the song? Only time will tell.

The official synopsis of the show reads:

“Everyone thinks they know the words to the most popular songs of all time, but when there’s a million dollars at stake, will contestants be able to keep singing when the music stops? Or will they be at a loss for words? Emmy Award nominee Niecy Nash hosts the all-new revival of the popular game show DON’T FORGET THE LYRICS!”

The winner of the singing competition series will receive a whopping cash prize of $1 million. The synopsis further reads:

“If they sing nine songs correctly, they are presented with a No. 1 hit and sing the final missing lyrics for the top prize of $1 million.”

Don’t Forget the Lyrics! Episode 1 will air on Monday, May 23 at 8.00 pm ET on FOX. Created by Jeff Apploff, the show is executive produced by Apploff, Nash, Rupert Dobson, Garry Bormet, and Julie Pizzi.
