Fox is once again trying to reinvent the singing competition series by merging talent and technology for their forthcoming show Alter Ego.

Basically singers on the show will be performing as their own avatar dream reinvention, or alter ego.

'Alter Ego merges talent and technology to revolutionize the singing competition show in only a way Fox can do,' said Rob Wade, FOX Entertainment's President of Alternative Entertainment and Specials. 

'We are so excited to bring the fantastic will.i.am, Alanis, Grimes, Nick and Rocsi together as they search for the next big singing star, allowing incredible vocalists a chance to realize their dreams and perform like never before.'
