Beware: This article contains spoilers about the most recent episode of I Can See Your Voice.

An episode of I Can See Your Voice is divided into several parts. For example, after the first round of elimination, candidates must report to the podium one by one for the lip sync. During this round they playback a song, while you may or may not hear their own voice in the background. One of the participants was ‘Miss ICSYV’.
Fred thinks the Miss is ‘unbelievably good at lip-synching’, but for the time being she doesn’t think she can sing. Edsilia would really like it if Miss ICSYV could sing. “It would be absolutely right,” she says. “That’s why I don’t think it’s right,” she concludes. Danny also doesn’t believe that the contestant can sing and throws in another pun: “We’re going to be ‘Miss’-led”. Danny has a theory: “She’s so perfect at everything. You’re a beauty, to be honest. You are something to get through, but that’s exactly why she can’t sing.”
Guest panelist and vocalist Nielson also shares the same view. “She is a ‘Miss’ for a reason. She can just hold herself up on stage very well,” he says. Marieke Elsinga and Nielson’s fan think differently and do believe that Miss ICSYV can sing.

During the lipsync round, Miss ICSYV is voted out and she manages – during the unveiling to her voice – to completely blow the panel over with her golden throat. Edsilia is even visibly emotional and wipes her eyes dry during the performance. Miss ICSYV, real name Eleanor, receives many compliments from the panel and also a standing ovation. “Very nice,” says Fred. Eleanor also tells that she is a real Miss Netherlands. “First runner up,” she explains. Nielson is impressed and responds: “Leave something for the rest too”. He continues: “I thought: this can never be true.”
The emotional Edsilia also wants to say something about Eleanor’s performance: “You have such a beautiful voice. It is really wow. Magical† Not only are you beautiful, but you also have a very beautiful sound.”
Danny, who was sure Miss ICSYV couldn’t sing, takes back his words. “A total picture, perfect”, he compliments 25-year-old Eleanor.

Like a real Miss, she closes her performance with a ‘Miss closing speech’: “Ladies and gentlemen, perfect does not exist. You just have to delete the perfect picture. Be yourself, stay with yourself and rock on.”
