Format
Round 1 Each episode features eight players. At the top of each episode, one player is randomly selected to play the game. The contestant steps up and will have to choose a song that could help keep their place on the show. However, as they are performing, the other contestants can buzz in and challenge the contestant. The original player must select one of the contestants to face off against, this contestant will then step up and sing a different song. At the end of Round One, the panel votes on who is progressing.
Round 2 For Round Two, the winner stays on and we run through the process again, this time, with different song options. However, at the end of Round Two, it’s the fellow contestants who vote one by one on who is remaining in the game after two singers have performed.
Round 3 Once again, the winner stays on into Round Three, where new song options are presented and more people challenge. At the end of this round, the show turns to the studio audience for the final decision. They select who that show’s Last Singer Standing is and is therefore advancing to the final. The four players who never had a chance to play or perform will return the following week, alongside four brand new players, to play the game all over again.
The Final After seven weeks, the seven champions from the seven previous episodes battle it out in the final where one of them will be crowned Last Singer Standing, taking home a cash prize of €25,000. The result is decided by a combination of votes from the studio audience, the panel and the twenty-five eliminated contestants.
