The Singing Bee is a sing-along game show that originally aired on NBC and then CMT. Combining karaoke singing with a spelling bee-style competition, this show features contestants trying to remember the lyrics to popular songs. Originally slated to begin with a six-episode season during late 2007, it launched early in reaction to Fox's competing Don't Forget the Lyrics!
