Don't Forget the Lyrics premise

Don't Forget the Lyrics is all about testing your memory of classic songs. Contestants get to choose a song from different genres, decades or musical artists, then are tasked with performing that song alongside the live in-studio band with lyrics projected on a screen. However, the music will eventually stop and the lyrics disappear and then it is up to the contestant to provide the correct missing lyrics. If they are correct, they continue on with the game. In order to win the grand prize of $1 million, they must get the lyrics correct on 10 total songs.
