Format

The show challenges celebrities (singers and actors) to impersonate different music artists every week, which are chosen by the show's "Randomiser". Afterwards they are judged by the panel of celebrity judges. The 'randomiser' can choose any older or younger artist available in the machine, or even a singer of the opposite sex, or a deceased singer. The winner of each episode wins 10,000 PLN, and the winner of the whole show wins 100,000 PLN. All money goes for a charity of their choice.

Voting

The contestants are awarded points from the judges (and each other) based on their singing and dance routines. The points go from 1 to 7 and 10, with 10 being the judge's favorite of the night. After that, each contestant gives 5 points to a fellow contestant of their choice (known as "Bonus" points) and from the 18th edition they award 4 points. The judges' score is combined with the "Bonus" points.
