Your Face Sounds Familiar is a singing and impersonation competition for celebrities and is based on the Spanish version of the same name. It debuted on March 14, 2015 on ABS-CBN. It is hosted by Billy Crawford; and for the second season, also co-hosted by Melai Cantiveros. Jed Madela, Gary Valenciano and Sharon Cuneta served as the show's judges for the first two seasons. In Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids, Ogie Alcasid replaces Madela, while Valenciano and Cuneta will reprise their roles as judges. The Kids season premiered on January 7, 2017.
The Philippine version was first announced by ABS-CBN on its trade show for advertisers in Rockwell Tent, Makati City. In this show, 8 celebrities will complete in a song and dance number while impersonating iconic singers. Each week, the "Iconizer" (called the "Randomizer" in other franchises) will assign the artists of whom they will impersonate.
The first season of the show replaced the timeslot of the second season of the The Voice of the Philippines, which ended on March 1, 2015. 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. In earlier announcements, Toni Gonzaga was reported to be one of the judges; however, she was replaced by Cuneta.
On June 6, 2015, it was announced that the show will return for a second season in the same year, which premiered on September 12, 2015, replacing the timeslot of the second season of The Voice Kids.
On August 15, 2016, Crawford announced that the show will return for a third season; which was later on revealed as the Kids edition entitled Your Face Sounds Familiar Kids. On November 22, 2016, Ogie Alcasid, who made a comeback on ABS-CBN, was revealed as the newest addition to the show's judges, replacing Madela. The Kids season premiered on January 7, 2017.
