Your Face Sounds Familiar (Philippine TV series) season 1 Season of television series
The first season of Your Face Sounds Familiar was a singing and impersonation competition for celebrities and was based on the Spanish version of the same name . It aired on March 14, 2015 in ABS-CBN and ended on June 7, 2015. It was hosted by Billy Crawford ; Jed Madela , Gary Valenciano , and Sharon Cuneta served as the show's judges.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
After 13 weeks, Melai Cantiveros emerged as the winner after garnering 51.93% of the public's votes.
Development
The Philippine version was first announced by ABS-CBN in its trade show for advertisers in Rockwell Tent, Makati . In this show, 8 celebrities compete in a sing and dance number while impersonating iconic singers. Each week, the "Iconizer" (called the "Randomizer" in other franchises) assigns the artists at the end of each Sunday episode of whom they have to impersonate for the following week.[ 1] Each of the artists must face the iconizer at the end of each episode from last place to first place and press the iconizer to reveal the icon they have to impersonate in the following week, and after pressing, the icon is revealed, and a sample playback of the song they have to perform will be played upon revealing the icon.
The show replaced the time slot of the second season of The Voice of the Philippines which ended on March 1, 2015.[ 5]
On March 9, 2015, Sharon Cuneta made a comeback in ABS-CBN; one of her first projects would be to sit as a judge in the show with Madela and Valenciano.[ 3] [ 6] In earlier announcements, Toni Gonzaga was reported as one of the judges; however, she was replaced by Cuneta.[ 7] Every week, the performers are guided by Teacher Annie Quintos of The Company and Teacher Georcelle of the G-Force for vocals and choreography respectively.
On April 5, 2015, the show aired a duet special episode, as Holy Week programming on Black Saturday pre-empts all non-cable shows. However, the eight celebrity contestants were still scored individually.
On April 18–19, 2015, Gary Valenciano temporarily left the show to fulfill his commitment of performing in a series of concerts in Papua New Guinea, Spain and Qatar. He was substituted by Boy Abunda . The same instance happened on May 16–17, 2015, and he was substituted by Vice Ganda .
Prize
Every week the winner wins a cash prize of 100,000 pesos , half of which was given to his or her chosen charity. The grand prize is 2 million pesos.[ 1] [ 2]

Finals: Week 13 (June 6 & 7)
The Grand Showdown was held in Resorts World Manila on June 6 and 7. Unlike in previous weeks where each of the contestants were assigned an icon by the iconizer, the finalists selected the icon that they will impersonate in the finals, in addition, the eliminated contestants impersonated the icons they presumably would've impersonated for the finals.
During the second night, Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil appeared on the movie to promote their then-upcoming film "Just the Way You Are " was released on June 17, 2015.[ 23]
The winner was decided via public vote. The finals were aired at a later timeslot due to the premiere of the second season of The Voice Kids , which coincindentally premiered on the same week, pre-empting Mga Kwento ni Marc Logan and Wansapanataym .
