The Blues and the Whites are two teams of popular singers, different each week, including current stars, experienced old hands, and hopeful newcomers, who compete in singing a gamut of songs in Mandarin, Taiwanese, and English: from romantic ballads, folk tunes, and art songs to pop and disco.
節目邀請資深歌星、當紅歌星，也邀請有潛力的新人，動靜兩派都有；歌曲安排則有國語、台語、英文的，抒情歌、藝術歌曲、小調、狄斯可……，每週歌手、歌曲的分配調度，多樣而平均，使電視機前的老老少少都能「各看所需」。
