An adaptation of the South Korean series, "I Can See Your Voice" is hosted by "Masked" judge Ken Jeong.

A panel of celebrity judges and one lucky contestant has to guess out of a group of guest singers who is the "good" singer based on clues, interrogation, and lip sync challenges, without ever hearing a single note.

The singer the contestant selects then performs a duet with a guest musical superstar, revealing their talent or lack thereof. If the contestant guesses the good singer correctly, the contestant wins a whopping $100,000.

"I Can See Your Voice" just finished airing its first season and can be watched on Fox.

Single contestants must each meet and, hopefully, fall in love before ever seeing each other face-to-face. After deciding they've found their match, they must then propose, after which the engaged couples spend time getting to know each other on a couple's retreat and in an apartment. At the end of the show, the couples of "Love is Blind" must then decide whether to get married or split up.

While it's not a singing show, the concept of hidden identities is certainly something fans of "The Masked Singer" and "The Masked Dancer" might enjoy.

The first season of this widely popular reality show can be streamed on Netflix, and another season will be on the way soon.

In the latest season of "The Voice," Kelly Clarkson, Gwen Stefani, John Legend, and Blake Shelton appeared as celebrity singing coaches.

While most of the show follows the standard reality singing show format, fans of "The Masked Singer" will probably fall in love with the blind auditions the most. During the first five episodes, the coaches select who they want on their team after listening to them perform, but not seeing them face-to-face.

This fan-favorite singing competition show has 19 seasons and can be watched on NBC and Hulu.

Similar to "The Masked Singer," celebrity guests hide their identities behind an animated filter and a voice changer. While there's no singing, a panel of guest judges is tasked with discovering the true identity of each celebrity by asking them questions, gathering clues, and playing games.

The game show's two seasons can be watched on Nickelodeon or with a YouTube TV streaming subscription.

A dating algorithm is used to match up players based on their compatibility, but the contestants have no idea who their perfect match is. The singles get to know each other and make predictions between themselves about who their perfect match is. At each match-up ceremony, the players choose who they think is their perfect match and are told how many matches they got correct — but not who in the group guessed correctly.

The only way for players to know for sure who is a perfect match before the finale is by sending them into the "Truth Booth," which reveals whether they're a perfect match or not. If the group guesses all of their matches correctly, they win a cash prize.

For viewers who enjoy the guessing-game aspect of "The Masked Singer" and "The Masked Dancer," this drama-filled reality show might fit the bill.

"Are You The One?" can be watched on MTV or you can catch seasons one and two on Netflix.
