In this challenge, male semifinalists must choose and perform a song originally sung by a female voice, and vice versa! Yes, as the competition intensifies, it becomes increasingly clear who the truly Brillanti performer is — the one who deserves a coveted spot in the Final, now just a few weeks away.

Get ready for big surprises and emotional moments, as there’s a real sense of family among the semifinalists. Each one knows that a single slip — even a tiny one — could be enough to end their journey and send them home.

So, who will be the two finalists moving on to this week’s Sing Off, and whose adventure will come to an abrupt end?
