Don't Forget the Lyrics! Cast & Crew

Hey, never mind the lyrics, Fox probably just hopes that viewers don't forget the title, since this show is airing hard on the heels of NBC's similarly karaoke-themed summer game show, "The Singing Bee." Contestants choose songs by different artists drawn from different decades and genres, then take center stage to sing along with a studio band, karaoke-style, as lyrics are projected on a screen. At a certain point, however, the band stops playing and the lyrics disappear, forcing the contestant to belt out the next part of the lyric on his own. If he manages a successful response without freezing up under pressure, the contestant has to decide whether to "Stay & Play" or "Take the Money & Run." After singing nine songs correctly, the contestant receives a final number one hit with a missing lyric. If he nails it, he walks away with a cool $1 million.
