IT appears TikTok trends are moving away from dancing and more towards singing.
The Do Re Mi Filter trend has taken the social media app by storm and it’s really testing TikToker’s singing skills.

What is the trend?
The Pitch challenge – also called the Charlie Puth Do Re Mi challenge – is a filter where the user has to sing at the correct pitch in order to get the orange ball through the holes.
It resembles viral hit 2014 game Flappy Bird in certain respects, like having to fit through a space – but instead of tapping your screen, you use your voice.
Depending on whether you’re singing too high or too low in the Do Re Mi scale, the ball will not go through unless you are pitch perfect.
Various celebrities and influencers have shown just how perfect their pitch is, including TV personality Zara McDermott – who didn’t get a single note wrong in her video.
Singer Tom Grennan also gave it a shot, and almost fluffed it by singing So as the last note instead of Do.
However, artist, boxer and Sidemen member KSI was not very successful with the trend – despite having several songs out himself.
The first quarter of his video on the Sidemen’s TikTok is him not even being able to get the ball through the first hole – Do.
Fellow TikToker’s found it hilarious, with one user commenting: “Isn’t he a singer!”
Another compared him to musical prodigy and trend setter Charlie Puth, writing: “Charlie Puth who?”
How can you do it?
On TikTok under one of the videos of the challenge, click on the Perfect Pitch Challenge filter to access it.
Then, record your own video of the trend to see if you have perfect pitch – or not.
And make sure to add the hashtags #pitchchallenge #perfectpitchchallenge #doremi #doremichallange #doremifilter or #charlieputh.

Where is Do Re Mi from?
When some do the Do Re Mi trend, the first thing that springs to mind may be the catchy song sung by Julie Andrews in 1959 The Sound Of Music movie.
But Do Re Mi itself is each syllable of the musical solfege system.
This is a mnemonic, or learning technique, that uses syllables to identify music notes over letters.
This is because the syllables are easier to sing than the note names.
