Los Angeles, CA - May 6, 2008 – Azteca América today announced
its newest musical show ¿Te La Sabes? ¡Cántala con Famosos! (If You Know
It, Sing It—With Celebrities!) which will launch Sunday, May 11, 2008 at
9PM.
Hosted by dynamic and amusing Chuck Pereda, ¿Te La Sabes? ¡Cántala
con Famosos! is a one-hour singing competition for those who enjoy
watching their favorite celebs belt out the most popular Latino songs.
Taking off from where hit ¿Te La Sabes? ¡Cántala! began last year
on TV Azteca in Mexico, the American version is customized for our U.S.
audience and has a new twist: it pits celeb against celeb in a
fast-paced karaoke-style showdown.
“We bring a new property ‘made in Mexico’ but custom-made specifically
for our audience and clients here in the U.S., said Harry
Abraham-Castillo, Executive Vice President of Programming & Production.
“ We are convinced that this new musical show will resonate with U.S.
Hispanics.”
The season starts off with 10 contestants. Every Sunday, laughs are
guaranteed as artists and athletes stumble and stammer through several
rounds, trying to remember song lyrics. A number of tricky challenges
don’t help and at the end of each episode one unlucky contestant is
eliminated. In the end, two contestants are left to square off at the
Grand Finale.
This is a family-friendly show that will have audiences singing along at
home while rooting for their favorite celeb. To add to the fun, the
celebrity contestants are not singers at all, but famous athletes,
actors, actresses and personalities-- making for the most entertaining
surprises.
¿Te La Sabes? ¡Cántala Con Famosos! features special sections for
its music-loving audience, including:
- The Jukebox: A virtual jukebox picks the song. If the
contestant sings it correctly, the jukebox changes and the next song
plays.
- I’ll Sing It!: Each contestant has a buzzer and a podium.
When the title of a song flashes across the screen, one of them must
press their buzzer and yell, “I’ll sing it!” If they get the lyrics
wrong, they’re eliminated.
- Colors: When the lyrics flash across the karaoke screen
some of them are intentionally wrong, indicated by a different
color. While looking at the “trick lyrics,” the contestant must
still sing the song correctly.
- Potpourri: The orchestra will play the first few lines of
five different songs and the contestants must complete them all!
¿Te La Sabes? ¡Cántala Con Famosos!
Don’t miss it!
