Your Big Break (not to be confused with Big Break or The Big Break) was a short-lived syndicated reality talent show featuring contestants playing the role of their song's original singer along with dressing like them.

Premise[]

Celebrity sound or lookalikes competed for cash and prizes. Each contestant was introduced by his/her real name and the singer being emulated. They were each given roughly 3 minutes to impress the studio audience with their singing ability and/or likeness to the celebrity. The performances were accompanied by elaborate stage sets, dancers and full costuming. The winner of each show was determined by electronic voting courtesy of the audience members, with each winner returning at a later date to compete in the grand finals.
