The Masked Singer

sheepdog — Sun, 19 Jan 2020 23:09:35 GMT

You know you want it so here is the thread for it.

Utterly mad. Goodness knows why the show works but is so overly bizarre, it just does. I have no interest in the voting which is pointless because we don't care: its not X-Factor, just do the un-masking already!

Anyway, I suspect Fox is Jane McDonald - clue she gave away was one of the early reality stars and she was "discovered" on a Cruise show or something like that I didn't watch way back in the late 90's.

I reckon Monster is Rag and Bone man. Clue: he gave was that he recorded with Calvin Harris. A Youtube search produces the tune called Giant, which uncannily is way too close to sounding like Ceelo Green that the judges are thinking of.

I must be honest, it is only compulsive for the unmasking. I fast forward through most of it, only pausing to hear a little of the singing. i dare say that a few will be people I've neither heard of and who will be of no future interest to me.

The Tree = Teddy Sheringham. Legend.

I guessed him actually....

I think The Fox is Rita Simons. Used to be known as Foxy Roxy in Eastenders and was also in a girl band.

Oh and Unicorn....? John Barrowman. (It was filmed ages ago apparently)

Are these people auto tuned to mask their voice?

I think they must be but I'm tempted to nominate this programme for Room 101.....

The show is nuts. It shouldn`t work but it does. And I`m addicted. Thanks @sheepdog for the thread...

I wrongly guessed Tree was David Seaman... but do like @sheepdog `s logic about Rag and Bone Man being Monster, and think @Cleoriff `s deduction that Fox is Rita Simons is a great deduction [I would never have thought of her], as I thought it might be Nadine out of Girls Aloud...

As for sending The Masked Singer [show] into Room 101 - really?? If you wanna nominate it @jonsie , please do and we`ll put it to the vote later...

Next week should be fun when all the remaining acts perform.

So Daisy was unmasked tonight

and it was Kelis.

Very good guess by Rita Mediocra though as the final song was being done, the Sheepdog kennel unanimously wanted her to put the mask back on

Hmm, Queen Bee I'm thinking is Leona Lewis but the height doesn't quite match. Hedgehog seems to be Michael Ball by way too many clues and mannerisms to say not.

Re: The Masked Singer

Cleoriff — Sat, 25 Jan 2020 20:48:03 GMT

I think Queen Bee is Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud

Hedgehog is Jason Manford (I think)

Octopus...Mmmm... Lucy Pargeter who play Chas in Emmerdale and has been in the Jungle in I'm a Celeb.

Unicorn...John Barrowman

There again, I change my mind every week.

@Cleoriff thats a pretty good guess for Octopus. Not that I watch Emmerdale or Failing Celebs in the Jungle but the name rings a bell as she was on that Soapstar Superstar a few years back. Um, so not much of a change then.

Well I do watch Emmerdale and love I'm a Celeb ....and I do know that Lucy can sing. She was in a girl band years ago.

Good shout @Cleoriff

I know I don't take much interest in pop music or celebrities these days but am I the only one who had never heard of Kelis?

Not really my ~~milk shake~~ cup of tea @Cleoriff . I realise that I've heard the song but it required no further investigation on my part, hence filed under 'forget it and it's singer'
