nightlife has changed due to restrictions from COVID-19, meaning consumers are constantly on the look out for the next binge-worthy shoe to consume -- [Netflix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-is-blind-game) has responded to this with a host of highly popular series and films, the latest of which is a [karaoke reality competition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/karaoke-search) dubbed 'Sing On!'.

Hosted by Tituss Burgess of the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, this new series will invite contestants to sing their hearts out in front of a live studio audience. Focusing on one genre, six talented contestants will sing the same song, in an effort to win the $60,000 prize.

What's incredibly unique about this show is that it is not inviting judges to rate the contestants. Instead, it will leverage a [vocal analyzer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfect-pitch) that rates the accuracy of the contestants' notes.
