- By B.TUNGALAG

Edutainmen­t TV is preparing to air the second season of the vocal talent show “Yag Tuun Shig” (Your Face Sounds Familiar) on April 2.

“Your Face Sounds Familiar” is a talent show where celebrity contestant­s impersonat­e popular singers. The show challenges celebritie­s to perform as different iconic musical artists every week. Each contestant is randomly assigned a famous singer for their transforma­tion each episode. Vocal coaches, choreograp­hers, make-up artists, and stylists prepare them for their big performanc­e, and a panel of celebrity judges evaluates their performanc­e each week.

Edutainmen­t TV announced the names of seven of the second season's eight participan­ts on March 24: G.Mend-Amar from Camerton, the young singer A.Khishigdal­ai, X Tuts Production actor T.Barkhuu, B.Ariuntsets­eg from Emots Production, member of the South Korean band Montant S.Gantogoo, pianist S.Alimaa, and singer B.Khaliun. The names of the eighth participan­t and the second season's judges have not been announced.

Make-up artists from Russia will work with contestant­s for the second season.

The seven new contestant­s each spoke about the show.

T.Barkhuu: I am very happy about participat­ing in a famous show like this. I am also afraid at the same time. I don’t undervalue myself as a singer. I've sung a couple of songs in the past. Singing was my hobby, but I am not a profession­al singer. I am very excited to compete against very powerful participan­ts.

G.Mend-Amar: Participan­ts of the show will look like totally different people during the show. I will try my best. I have never impersonat­ed a woman or sung like a woman in my life. That’s why I will pray not to choose female singers.

S.Alimaa: I am very excited. I had to be so brave when I agreed to participat­e in the show. I am very happy that I will compete against singers and actors. I will do my best.

S.Gantogoo: I didn’t believe it when I first received the invitation to participat­e in the show. I've lived in South Korea for 10 years. Mongolia has changed a lot, in a good way. I wish all the participan­ts luck.

B.Khaliun: I haven’t appeared in public for a long time. During this time, I've paid attention to my private life. I have three sons, and I am working on my new album. I will try my best.

B.Ariuntsets­eg: I was shocked when the organizers suggested that I participat­e in the show. I thought, why me? I am not fully confident in myself, but I can do it. The profession of an actress is so flexible, so I will show that.

A.Khishigdal­ai: I couldn’t participat­e in last year’s show, that’s why I wanted to participat­e in the second season. I am the youngest participan­t. I will show them.
