Everybody, Sing! is a Philippine musical game show created, developed, produced and distributed by ABS-CBN Entertainment. The Philippine game show aired for first season from June 5 to October 10, 2021 on Kapamilya Channel, and A2Z, replacing the third season of Your Face Sounds Familiar and was replaced by Pinoy Big Brother: Kumunity Season 10. The show returned for second season on September 24, 2022, replacing the second season of Idol Philippines. and The game show is hosted by Vice Ganda. The game show features several community groups, which consists of 50 individuals each, where they are asked to complete a line of a song in order for them to receive cash prizes, and a chance to share a winning jackpot of ₱1,000,000.

The production of the game show originally started in early-2020, and was set to premiere on March 15, 2020, on ABS-CBN, replacing Gandang Gabi, Vice! however, Vice Ganda, the host for the said game show, revealed in Piling Lucky, a segment of It's Showtime, that the production of the game show is postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, and that the premiere of the game show on March 15 is cancelled. Reruns of Gandang Gabi, Vice! temporarily filled in the network's programming until the network's shutdown on May 5, 2020, due to the cease-and-desist order by the National Telecommunications Commission, after the network's legislative franchise have lapsed.

The game show is also available in global subscription television network, The Filipino Channel, and in online-streaming platforms, Kapamilya Online Live and iWantTFC.

On February 28, 2022, Vice Ganda itself in his noontime show It's Showtime confirmed the second season of the program. This was also confirmed by the resident band Six Part Invention last year to their official Facebook page. The second season aired on September 24, 2022, replacing the second season of Idol Philippines.

Gameplay

Before the show was pre-empted, there can be 100 individuals in a community group, and a community group can win as much as ₱2,000,000, to be shared by everyone. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines and ABS-CBN's franchise renewal controversy, numerous changes were implemented.

A community group consisting of 50 individuals with ages ranging from 18-59, dubbed as the "Songbayanan," will be divided equally into five rows, whose each row is referred to as "SONGpu" (transl. ten, lit. 'ten songs'). Each round, one row will be chosen by the "ChooSera" to play a particular game (includes "Sing in the Blank", "A-B-Sing", "PicSing a Broken Song", "EngliSing ang Lyrics", "TagaliSing", "The ChooSing One", "AYU-Sing Mo", "ReverSing", "LipSing", and the new minigame "Singko Segundo Challenge"). Each game has a different set of mechanics; However, they have the same goal, each contestant has one attempt to complete a line of a song, they will receive ₱1,000 for each correct guess, and the community group gets an additional 2–4 seconds to the Jackpot round's timer, the more correct guesses, the more chances of winning the Jackpot prize. The community group will then get to participate in the Jackpot round ("Everybody GuesSing"), wherein the community group will be naming each song that is being played. If they name all 10 songs, they can share the winning jackpot of ₱1,000,000.

Sing in the Blank

This is the first game played in Everybody, Sing. The objective of the minigame is to "sing in the blank" by singing the missing lyrics. The melody (or the way you sing) won't affect your answer, just sing the correct lyrics of the song! Each correct answer is worth ₱1,000 and 2 seconds to the Jackpot timer.

(25 players) The chosen SingKo (a set of 5 players) will play this game. The resident band will start playing the song. From time to time, the song will stop for a moment for them to sing the missing lyrics. Each SingKo has a limit of 3 seconds to sing the missing lyrics in the blank. Each correct answer the SingKo player gives is worth 2 seconds to the Jackpot timer and ₱1,000. If ever the SingKo player has failed to complete the missing lyrics, the line will be skipped, and the next player must guess the next line. The five players will keep "singing in the blank" until they have used their two attempts.

(50 players) The first set of 10 players (aka SONGpu) will play this game. The resident band will start playing the song. From time to time, the song will stop for a moment for them to sing the missing lyrics. Each SONGpu has a limit of 3 seconds to sing the missing lyrics in the blank. Each correct answer the SONGpu player gives is worth 2 seconds to the Jackpot timer and ₱1,000. Each player has one attempt only to "sing in the blank".

(100 players) In the 100 Songbayanan Special, two rows will play Sing in the Blank. The first SONGpu will play the first round, while the second SONGpu will play the second round. As always, the resident band will start playing the song. From time to time, the song will stop for a moment for them to sing the missing lyrics. Each SONGpu has a limit of 3 seconds to sing the missing lyrics in the blank. Each correct answer the SONGpu player gives is equivalent to 1 second to the Jackpot timer and ₱1,000. Each player has one attempt only to "sing in the blank".

PicSing a Broken Song

This game is played after "Sing in the Blank". The goal to this game is to "fix" a "broken song" by using the picture clues flashed on the screen to collect extra time for the jackpot round. Each correct answer is equivalent to 2 jackpot seconds and ₱1,000.

(25 players) The chosen SingKo will participate in this game and the resident band will start playing the song. For a short period of time, the song will stop for a moment once a picture clue flashed on the screen. The goal of the five players must "fix" the "broken song" to collect and contribute 2 seconds for the Jackpot round and receive ₱1,000. Otherwise, the line will be skipped and the next player must guess the next line. This will continue until all of the players has used their two attempts.

(50 players) The chosen SONGpu will participate in this game and the resident band will begin playing the song. Time after time, the song will stop for a moment once a picture clue flashed on the screen. Each player has one attempt only, or they won't contribute 2 seconds to the Jackpot timer and receive ₱1,000.

(100 players) Two sets of 10 players will play this game. For a short period of time, the song will stop for a moment once a picture clue flashed on the screen. The goal of the five players must "fix" the "broken song" to collect and contribute 2 seconds for the Jackpot round and receive ₱1,000. Otherwise, the line will be skipped and the next player must guess the next line.

A-B-Sing

The second season of Everybody, Sing! featured two new minigames, including this one called "A-B-Sing". The new minigame was first played at the "50 Funeral & Cemetery Workers" episode last October 29, 2022 as a substitute from "PicSing a Broken Song", where they have to sing the complete lyrics by using the picture clues shown on the screen. The mechanics of this new minigame is simple. The 10 players must guess the missing word by making use of the first letter of the missing lyrics. The clue depends on how many syllables are needed to complete the missing word. For example, if the missing lyric is "singing", then the resident band will sing "S-S" as the clue.

(50 players) The next group of 10 players will play this game, then the resident band will begin playing the song. The song will stop for a moment for them to guess the correct, exact lyrics. Each SONGpu has a limited time of 3 seconds to guess the correct lyrics. If ever the SONGpu player has failed to guess the correct lyrics, the line will be skipped, and the next player must guess the next line. Each correct answer the SONGpu player gives is worth 2 seconds to the Jackpot timer and ₱1,000.

Each player has a time limit of 3 seconds to guess the correct translation of the Tagalog word. Otherwise, the player won't get 2 seconds to the Jackpot timer and receive ₱1,000. The line will be skipped then the next SingKo must guess the next line. This will continue until all of the players have used their two attempts.

(50 players) The selected SONGpu will play this game, and the resident band will start playing the song. The song will pause for a moment to give the attempt for the player to translate the Tagalog words into English ones within 3 seconds. Otherwise, the player won't receive ₱1,000 and contribute 2 seconds to the Jackpot timer. Each player has one try only.

(100 players) Two rows of SONGpu will participate in playing this game one row at a time. The resident band will begin playing the song. The song will pause for a moment to give the attempt for the player to translate the Tagalog words into English ones within 3 seconds.

(50 players) The last SONGpu will play this game, then the resident band will play the song. Their only objective in this game is to put the lyrics in the correct sequence. Each correct order of lyrics is equivalent to 4 seconds and ₱1,000.

Singko Segundo Challenge

The second season of Everybody, Sing! introduced a new minigame called the Singko Segundo Challenge (lit. 'Five-Second Challenge') that will be played before Everybody GuesSing?, the jackpot round. In this challenge, the Songbayanan has the opportunity to add 5 seconds to their jackpot timer.

Once all the groups have played, the Songbayanan will choose a representative (dubbed as the Repre-SING-tative) for the pre-jackpot round. Once the community group has chosen their representative, the chosen one will guess the song sang by Vice Ganda himself by only using a relevant word on the Songbayanan. For example, if the Songbayanan are Beauticians, then the word that Vice will sing is kilay (lit. 'eyebrow'). Vice Ganda will give the signal to answer once he's done singing the tune of the song.

Everybody GuesSing?

After five games, the Songbayanan will play the jackpot round called "Everybody GuesSing?", where they have to guess 10 song titles in order to win the jackpot prize. The time they'll be using will be the jackpot seconds earned by the five/ten rows together from the introductory games before.

(25 players) Their earned time will start ticking down once the first song is being played by the resident band. Their goal in this final game is to win the jackpot round. Anybody from the 25 players are allowed to answer one time only. Once they have touched their individual buzzer to respond, they are unable to do so again. Each correct guess is worth ₱5,000. The basis for their take-home prize will be multiplied to the number of their correct answers. Example, if the Songbayanan had guessed 8 correct song titles, they'll take home ₱40,000, with each player taking home ₱1,600. However, if the player's guess is wrong, then the players can guess the songs again only if there's sufficient time left. The game's over under the following circumstances: All of the players have used their attempt, or there's no more time remaining. Even so, if they guessed the 10 correct song titles, they can take home the jackpot prize worth ₱500,000, and each player receives ₱20,000.

(50 players) Rules are the same as before. However, each correct song title is worth ₱10,000. Even so, if they guessed 10 correct song titles without consuming their entire jackpot time, they can take home the jackpot prize worth ₱1,000,000, and each player receives ₱20,000.

(100 players) Rules are the same as before. But since there are 100 players, each correct song title is worth ₱100,000. Even so, if they guessed 10 correct song titles without consuming their entire jackpot time, they can take home the jackpot prize worth ₱2,000,000, and each player receives ₱20,000.

As of November 1, 2022, the show had already aired a total of forty-six (46) episodes. This includes the first season, the 100 Songbayanan Special, and the second season.

Nine (9) Songbayanan groups have already won the varied jackpot prize. Seven (7) groups had won the jackpot prize during the first season, while two (2) groups won the jackpot prize on the second season.

Overall, the show has given away a total of eight million six hundred forty-five thousand pesos (₱8,645,000) (including non-jackpot winners) throughout the shows' entire run. This includes both the first and second seasons.

100 Songbayanan Special

The show aired its original iteration of the series dubbed as the 100 Songbayanan Special after the 25 Perya Performers episode starting on September 25, 2021, and was aired for three consecutive weeks until October 10, 2021, in celebration for the finale of the first season. The episodes shown were taped before the COVID-19 pandemic and the ABS-CBN shutdown and legislative franchise denial.

The game was originally played with five games, consisting of two rounds per game that were played by two different groups, whose each row is referred to as SONGpu (lit. 'ten'), and the group that will play each game will be still randomly chosen by ChooSera. Once a group has been chosen to play a game, each correct lyric that a contestant gives will receive one-thousand pesos (₱1,000) if he or she sings his/her assigned line correctly (that will be also instantly given to them after their game) and adds one second to their jackpot timer.

The first five (or in rare cases, six) rounds will be aired on a Saturday episode, while the remaining five (or four) rounds and the Jackpot round will be played on a Sunday episode.

Once all ten groups have played, the Songbayanan will then proceed to the Jackpot round, where all of them must accurately name ten song titles using their collected time from the preliminary rounds. The same mechanics are in place as with the modified version, where all contestants are only allowed to answer once. Once they have touched their individual buzzer to respond, they are unable to do so again.

One hundred thousand pesos (₱100,000) is given to the Songbayanan per every song title that they correctly guess. Just like the modified version, the basis for their take-home prize money will be multiplied to the number of their correct answers. For example, if a Songbayanan had only guessed 7 correct song titles, then they will only take home seven hundred thousand pesos (₱700,000) and each contestant will only receive seven thousand pesos (₱7,000) each. However, if the Songbayanan correctly guesses all ten song titles without fully consuming their jackpot timer, they will take home and divide equally the jackpot prize of two million pesos (₱2,000,000), with each individual receiving twenty thousand pesos (₱20,000) each.

The 100 Taal Survivors were the only group that took home and divided equally the two-million peso jackpot prize. Their episode was aired during the final week of the first season, which was on October 9–10, 2021.

Reception

During the pilot episode of the game show on June 5, 2021, the episode received an 1.8% rating from AGB Nielsen Philippines, and the hashtag #EverybodySing became the top trending hashtag in Twitter nationwide. LionhearTV, an entertainment news website, wrote "ABS-CBN's new singing game show [Everybody Sing] is a blast of fun, excitement, and inspiration, as it unites Filipino communities and working groups from every walk of life." They also added, "There has been a bunch of game shows with similar formats, but this one differs in its unique motive to unite community groups, and by highlighting the undying ‘Bayanihan’ spirit."
