T10 WHATS UP! May 22 - 28, 2022 Up against the song-decipher- ing app, contestants have just moments to buzz in and iden- tify songs before the clock runs out. "Beat Shazam" also features an interactive ele- ment for viewers through the Shazam mobile app. Unlike "Don't Forget the Lyrics!," "Beat Shazam" uses the buddy system with three teams of two duking it out to make their way to the final set of songs. After four rounds, the team with the most money in the bank goes on to play the final round, where they must, as the title suggests, beat Shazam once and for all. The contestants must identify five songs from different catego- ries as the clock ticks down, earning $25,000 for each cor- rect answer. To bring home the million, the winning team chooses one member to identify the final song (though they are provid- ed the chance to leave with their winnings up to that point without completing the final challenge, if they prefer). If that answer is correct and they have successfully beaten Shazam's time on all six songs, their winnings are bumped to a cool $1 million. To date, three teams have successfully beaten Shazam and left the studio as million- aires; perhaps most notably former spouses Donna Natosi and Ryan Walton, who won in Season 2 with an unreal run of correct answers from Natosi in particular. To up the ante for Season 5, Fox revealed in an April news release that "Beat Shazam" has two special episodes planned to give back to those who have kept us all afloat during the pandemic. According to Fox, viewers can expect "a special episode featuring teachers, as well as a special episode dedi- cated to heroes, featuring mili- tary members, firefighters and police officers." With the Foxxes at the helm, "Beat Shazam" is obvi- ously a family affair, but the family connections don't end there on the network's Million Dollar Music Night. In the same interview on "The Real," Nash revealed that her wife, singer Jessica Betts, is by her side on "Don't Forget the Lyr- ics!" as a member of the show's band.
