Tu Cara me Suena is an Argentine talent show based on the Spanish series of the same name. The show began airing on 23 September 2013 on Telefe and its first season ended on 18 December 2013. The show is presented by Marley Wiebe, whilst the judging panel is composed by Cacho Castaña, Elizabeth Vernacci and Enrique Pinti, with Joaquín Galán and Ale Sergi being former judges.

The show involves celebrities (actors, television personalities, comedians) portraying various iconic singers each week to win £20,000 for their chosen charity. The winner of the series receives the £100,000 grand prize for her/his charity.

On 18 December 2013, actress and singer Laura Esquivel was announced as the series first winner.^[1] She also won Week 2 and 3 of the competition (as Whitney Houston, and Michael Jackson, respectively) collecting £20,000 for each of those weeks. In total, she won £140,000 for her chosen charity over the 13 weeks.

Format

The show challenges celebrities to perform as different iconic music artists every week, which are chosen by the show's "Randomiser". They are then judged by a panel of celebrity judges. During the series, the celebrities are trained by vocal coach Miguel Ángel Cherutti.

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 'randomiser' can choose any older or younger artist available in the machine, or even a singer of the opposite sex, or a deceased singer.

Voting

The contestants receive points from the judges based on their singing and dance routines, as well as voted from the other competitors.

Every judge scales the competitors from 4 to 11 (in the first season) or 4 to 12 (in the second season), with each competitor in a different position of the scale. The competitor every judge considers as the best of the week will be in the position with 11/12 points, while the worst will be in the position with 4 points. Then, the celebrities count with 5 points to give to their fellow competitor: in season one, they had to give 5 points to a single competitor. In season two, they had to split their 5 points, giving 3 to one, and 2 to another one, which means every celebrity can give points to two other celebrities. The total score of each contestant is then counted by summing the points from judges and the others competitors' votes.

Whoever is at the top of the leaderboard at the end of the each show, after the combination of the judges' and the other competitors' votes, receives a £20,000 cash prize for a charity of their choice and a further £100,000 grand prize for the "series champion" in the final week.

Judges

The panel of judges for the first season consisted of singer from the famous duet Pimpinela, Joaquin Galán, journalist Elizabeth Vernacci and singer Cacho Castaña. In the middle of the season, due to health problems, Castaña left the panel,^[2] and Miranda! frontman Ale Sergi, who served as a guest judge a previous week, entered in his place and lasted for the rest of the season.^[3] Before Sergi, Castaña was replaced by the vocal coach of the show, Miguel Ángel Cherutti.^[4]

In season two, Castaña returned to the panel of judges, as well as Vernacci. Galán did not return. The new judge was the big actor, Enrique Pinti.^[5]

Presenters

The presenter of the show is Marley Wiebe, famous for presenting big shows like Operación Triunfo, Celebrity Splash! and the Argentine version of The Voice, La Voz... Argentina.
