Cutthroat Karaoke is a high-energy, tournament-style singing competition where contestants battle head-to-head in front of a live audience.

Each round 2 singers choose between three random songs from a pre-set themed playlist, forcing them to adapt and perform under pressure.

After each duel, the audience votes in real time to decide who advances. No judges, no second chances — just raw talent, quick thinking, and crowd-pleasing vocals.

It's one part chance, one part vocal showdown, and all out entertianment!
