The Masked Singer UK: Discussion Thread

[Maxxie.]

But if we got Seal before the US did >>>>>


See Lo s up there with he fame calibre of seal imo, maybe even more so as he's more recent.

Seal's got 4 Grammys as well while Cee Lo's got 5

[Vanessa]

This is such a great guessing game. I'm having so much fun watching it :laugh:

[Morgan.]

See Lo s up there with he fame calibre of seal imo, maybe even more so as he's more recent.

Yeah I get that, I wasn’t suggesting Seal instead of Cee-Lo though, more like Seal instead of one of the other less famous people this series.

[Denver]

Yeah I get that, I wasn’t suggesting Seal instead of Cee-Lo though, more like Seal instead of one of the other less famous people this series.

I think the aim is though to have less people known for singing, as if they had a cast full of singers it would be easy and boring

[Nicky91]

I think the aim is though to have less people known for singing, as if they had a cast full of singers it would be easy and boring

no, it's more getting singers on the show who you don't immediately recognize

as for the non-singers, just a random mix of celebs i guess :D since they are not important and cannon-fodder eventually

[Marsh.]

Not really. Didn't a non-singer win the US version?

And it won't be a random mix. They'll want a good chunk who can hold a tune. I'd have switched off if they were all Pharoah/Celebrity X Factor level.

[Denver]

Rita Simon's has confirmed it isnt her in the fox not that many people thought it was her

[Denver]

Also John Barrowman pretty much confirmed it is him as Unicorn

[Vanessa]

Also John Barrowman pretty much confirmed it is him as Unicorn

I guessed it straightaway. It was so obvious :laugh:

[Ant.]

Rita Simon's has confirmed it isnt her in the fox not that many people thought it was her

"I played ROXY Mitchell not foxy Mitchell you ****ing imbeciles"

[Nicky91]

Also John Barrowman pretty much confirmed it is him as Unicorn

well yeah, first time i heard Unicorn i knew it was him

i am happy he's in this show though, i quite like his voice, also comes across quite lovely as performer, and he plays the unicorn character quite well too :love:

[Maxxie.]

Rita Simon's has confirmed it isnt her in the fox not that many people thought it was her

That doesn’t mean anything there told to deny it. John barrowman obviously wasn’t so subtle but others have been known to straight up deny it and then it turns out to be them.

I don’t acc think the tree is peter crouch and he’s denied it on twitter but that doesn’t necessarily rule him out completely

[Maxxie.]

Yeah I get that, I wasn’t suggesting Seal instead of Cee-Lo though, more like Seal instead of one of the other less famous people this series.

Imagine if they had the UK one first and we got donny osmond and gladys knight competing as well along with ceelo and seal :amazed: donny osmond is a bigger name over here as well I think so that would probably go down really well

[Lewismacfarlane]

What was said by john last night

[Morgan.]

What was said by john last night

He didn’t say anything but he did the same Little dance that the unicorn did when he came out with the judges

[Maxxie.]

What was said by john last night

And he was also called out by holly willoughby (presumably to promote the show) and he didn’t exactly deny it

[Marsh.]

He didn’t say anything but he did the same Little dance that the unicorn did when he came out with the judges

I noticed that.

But I suppose he could've been playing up to the curiosity.

I am actually thinking the Unicorn is the wrong body shape for him and that it really is Jake Shears or Justin Hawkins.

[GoldHeart]

Also John Barrowman pretty much confirmed it is him as Unicorn

Is Stevie Wonder blind! I knew it was him the moment he strutted on the screen :laugh3: , you'd think he'd still try and keep it a secret though :rolleyes:

[Mystic Mock]

This is such a great guessing game. I'm having so much fun watching it :laugh:

Same here.

[GoldHeart]

Same here.

I don't know why but I keep imaging The duck as Rusti Lee :joker: , I think that would be hilarious especially when she can't go 5 minutes without bursting into giggles .

[Morgan.]

The celebs will reveal 2 truths and a lie tonight

[arista]

[Rob!]

Perched. Glad Hedgehog is singing tonight - he's my fav. His Black Magic rendition was amazing :love:

[Marsh.]

Perched. Glad Hedgehog is singing tonight - he's my fav. His Black Magic rendition was amazing :love:

:rolleyes:

[Marsh.]

I'm gonna hazard a guess that Duck will be eliminated tonight. Being the only one of the group that can't sing at all.

[Rob!]

:rolleyes:

Right, well you go and have sex with Duck you thoroughly revolting person!

[Jessica.]

I am so excited

[Jessica.]

Catchphrase is so easy

[arista]

on now

[LukeB]

you just know Rita Ora didn't know who Alan was

[Jessica.]

I hate that they explain it at the start of every episode and that they hint at what is going to happen before the episode.

[Jessica.]

you just know Rita Ora didn't know who Alan wasNeither did I [emoji23]

[Jessica.]

Davina said on This Morning that one of them is downplaying their voice

[Vanessa]

Excited :dance:

[Rob!]

Joel’s settling in slowly to this sort of role. Good for him.

[Vanessa]

Davina said on This Morning that one of them is downplaying their voice

Yes and they changed their accent as well :shocked:

[Jessica.]

Joel looks like he's wearing a sweet wrapper

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

Anyone else want joel to choke them with his thighs

[Vanessa]

Love Johnathan. He makes me laugh :laugh:

[Jessica.]

What is Rita's costume supposed to be? A rogue swan?

[Vanessa]

Unicorn can only be John Barrowman.

[Jessica.]

Anyone else want joel to choke them with his thighsI'd like to see him choke Jonathan

[Rob!]

Of course it’s John Barrowman

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

I'd like to see him choke Jonathan

Fhjkggj

[Jessica.]

Babooshka is such a good song

[Rob!]

Anyone else want joel to choke them with his thighs

Yes so much

[Vanessa]

Of course it’s John Barrowman

He even said fabulous :joker:

[Jessica.]

He's been on Broadway for sure

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

This is painful

[Vanessa]

:dance:

[Jessica.]

Those girls really threw their backs out

[TwentyOneThrones]

He even said fabulous :joker:

Cant tell if that was just them bluffing

[MB.]

I think that was Kathy Burke

[RileyH]

that hurt to watch

[Saph]

its gotta be John surely

[Vanessa]

I'm 100% sure : John Barrowman!

[Jessica.]

I'd scream if a mask flew off during some wild dancing

[Saph]

The judges definitely get told to try and keep the mystery there :skull: because theres no way..

[Jessica.]

Definitely not Pete

[Rob!]

NOT Frankie

[Rob!]

I'd scream if a mask flew off during some wild dancing

Probably one of the reasons the show isn’t live :joker:

[Vanessa]

That guy always gets it wrong :joker:

[Jessica.]

The Grandes weren't always rich

[Saph]

Pineapple dance studios??

[Rob!]

Oh Pineapple? Makes me think it might be Louie Spence

[Vanessa]

Oh Pineapple? Makes me think it might be Louie Spence

Mmm, it could be him.

[Jessica.]

It's too thicc to be frankie

[Saph]

John Scot Barrowman was born in Glasgow on 11 March 1967, the youngest of three children. His older sister, Carole, later became a university professor. He lived in Glasgow for the first eight years of his life

okay maybe its not John

[Rob!]

Was Courtney Act ever anything to do with Pineapple dance studio?

[hijaxers]

I saw earlier prob a mistake- but it is John Barrowman- saw mask come off !

[TwentyOneThrones]

Andrew Stone??

[Jessica.]

okay maybe its not JohnWere they wealthy though?

[Vanessa]

To me, Unicorn acts and sounds like John Barrowman.

[LukeB]

I don't know why John Barrowman shouted fabulous because it made it more obvious who it is :skull: these people should try and not make it obvious.

[Jessica.]

Nuhdeen?

[Rob!]

Charity queen?

Lacey Turner confirmed!

[Saph]

Marie Curie?

[Saph]

why are they all singing the same songs that are on DOI this weekend..

[Vanessa]

Could it really be Girls Aloud Nicola?

[MB.]

Turns out Someone You Loved still sounds ****e even if it had been a Girls Aloud song!

[Saph]

It definitely sounds like Nicola.. but does she do charity work? lmao

[Vanessa]

I'd say it's Nicola.

[Rob!]

Nicola who?

[Jessica.]

I think it's Nuhdeen

[Vanessa]

Nicola who?

From Girls Aloud

[MB.]

It definitely sounds like Nicola.. but does she do charity work? lmao

Yeah she's done a load of anti-tanning bed stuff

[Mitchell]

Beat of my Drum says hello

[Saph]

its so similar to the chorus

GsJtFFqvKHY

[Saph]

NOT nadine :skull: Nicola shaking ??

[Rob!]

It’s OBVIOUSLY Lady C

[Jessica.]

Jessie's face looks the same as the bee's

[Vanessa]

No, this is a professional singer.

[Saph]

its not Nicola :laugh2:

[LukeB]

Nicola is 34 :worry:

[Saph]

viccy beckham???

[Saph]

wouldnt Nadine have been in the jungle when this was filmed

[Vanessa]

So it's someone under 30. :think:

[hijaxers]

viccy beckham???

She can't sing :laugh:

[MB.]

So it's someone under 30. :think:

...no it isn't lmao, the game is two lies and a truth

"I'm well known in the fashion circles" is the most vague clue that could be applied to most young women in showbiz, it's still Nicola

[Vanessa]

Charlotte Church then?

[Jessica.]

I don't think Nic can sing like that live

[Saph]

She can't sing :laugh:

she sang the bridge to say youll be there actually :nono:

[Vanessa]

...no it isn't lmao, the game is two lies and a truth

"I'm well known in the fashion circles" is the most vague clue that could be applied to most young women in showbiz, it's still Nicola

It definitely sounds like her.

[LukeB]

Charlotte Church then?

But she is over 30 and is known for singing.. thery only say one lie.

[Maxxie.]

Charlotte church is over 30 as well, is it two truths one lie or two lies one truth?

If its 2 truths and a lie it rules out both charlotte & nicola as they’re both over 30 and known for singing professionally

[LukeB]

...no it isn't lmao, the game is two lies and a truth

"I'm well known in the fashion circles" is the most vague clue that could be applied to most young women in showbiz, it's still Nicola

oh is it two lies?

[MB.]

But she is over 30 and is known for singing.. thery only say one lie.

They say two lies

[Vanessa]

Ok. Nicola Roberts it is then :laugh:

[Vanessa]

Duck is not a professional singer. A sports person probably?

[Rob!]

Floella Benjamin :love:

[Saph]

Davina did Mel C dirty by guessing her for Duck

[MB.]

omg it's Donatella Versace

[Saph]

what was the X on the pizza a reference to?

[Vanessa]

Maybe someone from X Factor?

[Jessica.]

Ife Kuku

[Mitchell]

It’s Vanessa?

[Saph]

Emily Nakanda?

[Vanessa]

It’s Vanessa?

No :joker:

[Rob!]

That was a lot stronger than last week

[Vanessa]

It does sound a bit like Mel C

[LukeB]

Not Mel C

[Saph]

why is she guessing Mel C again :skull: it sounds literally nothing like her

[hijaxers]

Duck is not a professional singer. A sports person probably?

Trisha she has german in her

[MB.]

7uqS6NQ07ao

:think:

[Rob!]

Ken is SO annoying

[Saph]

NOT Emma :skull: theyre reaching now

[Jessica.]

Mel B is awful at singing, could be

[Vanessa]

Mel B then

[Saph]

yes I forgot Mel C and David Bowie did duets often

[Vanessa]

yes I forgot Mel C and David Bowie did duets often

Mel C would be my guess.

[Jessica.]

Angie Bowie

[Rob!]

YAS Hedgehog :love:

[Natalie.]

Queen Bee sounded like a scouser

[Jessica.]

I bet Hedgehog is the one who's changing his voice when he sings

[LukeB]

1216077876082151430

[Jessica.]

Leonardo Dicaprio

[Rob!]

Not the Morrison’s theme tune

[Saph]

"I want to have a ball out there"

maybe that botox one who always does albums with him

[Jessica.]

When a tori BB contestant has to sing for a task

[Mitchell]

Still convinced it’s Manford tbh, he’d deffo mask his voice and it’s like he’s performing as the hedgehog persona

[MB.]

It's still Jason Manford doing a posh voice

[Saph]

I've only just realised the hedgehogs eyes are not those big goggles

[Jessica.]

I've only just realised the hedgehogs eyes are not those big gogglesClue - it's someone who was born with two sets of eyes

[Vanessa]

Johnathans got it!

[hijaxers]

I said Micheal Ball just now

[Jessica.]

I feel like muting every time the American guy is going to talk again

[Saph]

why would he randomly guess Zoe Balls dad

[Vanessa]

Michael Ball

[MB.]

Jason Manford worked at Burger King

https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/from-burger-king-to-getting-my-big-break-1-1304662

[Jessica.]

Jason Manford worked at Burger King

https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/from-burger-king-to-getting-my-big-break-1-1304662Interesting!

[Vanessa]

Jason Manford worked at Burger King

https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/from-burger-king-to-getting-my-big-break-1-1304662

Has he been in Phantom of the opera ?

[MB.]

Has he been in Phantom of the opera ?

Not that I know of, so I'm not sure how that would apply

He did release an album of songs from musicals though

[Jessica.]

I hate the mikitary/navy/raf propaganda ads, very depressing

[Saph]

how do we have 40 mins left and 1 performance

[Vanessa]

Not that I know of, so I'm not sure how that would apply

He did release an album of songs from musicals though

Yeah, maybe he covered one of the songs in it.

[Jessica.]

how do we have 40 mins left and 1 performanceMaybe there's a sing off before the unmasking?

[MB.]

how do we have 40 mins left and 1 performance

They're airing Joel's sex tape in full

[Rob!]

The darkness won 3 awards in one night at the brits

[Denver]

Is Queen Bee Katie Price? She got the Harvey Law made

[Jessica.]

The darkness won 3 awards in one night at the britsYeah, I was thinking that it could be the guy from the darkness, it does sound like him when he hits high notes

[MB.]

The darkness won 3 awards in one night at the brits

It does sound a lot like him now you mention it

[Rob!]

I mean singing a whole song basically in falsetto tells us nothing

[Saph]

that was the worst performance

[MB.]

And he did voice a cartoon character, which was one of the clues from last week

http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2007/12_december/18/freefonix.shtml

[Jessica.]

He sounded exhausted

[Rob!]

I sense Rita has a type

[Jessica.]

And he did voice a cartoon character, which was one of the clues from last week

http://www.bbc.co.uk/pressoffice/pressreleases/stories/2007/12_december/18/freefonix.shtmlOh that's brilliant!

Rowetta.

[MB.]

[Rob!]

Omg it’s Michelle Bass

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

I can sense the lizard has a huge dick

[Rob!]

Duck is the stronger singer

[Jessica.]

Screaming at the opera

[Vanessa]

Mmm, don't think Mel C can sing like that.

[Saph]

they better save duck

[MB.]

Wait I know who Duck is

[Jessica.]

I think it is Justin for sure now

[Vanessa]

This is definitely Justin Hawkins.

[Vanessa]

Duck has been underplaying their voice :shocked:

[Jessica.]

Too many breaks

[Maxxie.]

The sing off ironically had the two best performances in the show imo, although I have already forgotten the rest :joker:

[hijaxers]

The darkness won 3 awards in one night at the brits

What Justin Hawkins

[smudgie]

This is definitely Justin Hawkins.

Yep, you could be right.
That voice was a giveaway I reckon.

[Vanessa]

Who is Duck? I'm so confused now!

[Saph]

legend duck :love:

[MB.]

Who is Duck? I'm so confused now!

It's Skin from Skunk Anansie

She was a judge on the Italian X Factor and had 800,000 people sing happy birthday to her in Poland

[Ant.]

Marsh found dead?

[Saph]

Rita dropping the rose khjadsjfjg

[Ant.]

Stop brown-nosing Rita :idc:

[Vanessa]

The Darkness :love:

[Shaun]

....it's Charles II!

[Saph]

bye @ them all saying hes definitely not a singer before

[MB.]

[Saph]

Is it not on tomorrow?

[Ant.]

What's this

[smudgie]

It's Skin from Skunk Anansie

Wow, you are on to it I reckon.
My best guess was Rowetta.:joker:

[Morgan.]

Is it not on tomorrow?

Nope! Just saturdays now

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

How many weeks is this **** on for :worry:

[Ant.]

How many weeks is this **** on for :worry:

Too many

[smudgie]

The Darkness :love:

I know.
He could sing under my window any night of the week. :love:

[Shaun]

I was thinking Duck sounded a lot like Skin earlier (just because of the Bowie clue). Such a random choice for primetime ITV but then... we've had Alan Johnson, so...

NS_ZlDVMpWk

Edit: nvm that isn't even her :skull:

[Ammi]

Could it really be Girls Aloud Nicola?

I think it's Nuhdeen

...I thought that she sounded a bit like Megan McKenna...

[Jessica.]

...I thought that she sounded a bit like Megan McKenna...Oh, I don't remember her voice very well, I'll need to have a listen!

[Barry.]

It's Skin from Skunk Anansie

She was a judge on the Italian X Factor and had 800,000 people sing happy birthday to her in Poland

I love her! I hope it is then.

[Mystic Mock]

Well credit to Justin Hawkins for his version of Creep.

I would've had him down as a possible candidate for the Unicorn if that isn't John Barrowman.

[Marsh.]

Marsh found dead?

WHAT

[Marsh.]

This is a pretty good show if they did it as a week long event. Once a week for ten weeks or whatever is far too long.

The novelty is wearing off.

[Nicky91]

idk who are behind the masks, but anyhow they gave us again highly entertaining performances, wanted to say that first of all

secondly, i stand behind my opinion of the Duck being a man (yes Barry Humphries, aka Dame Edna)

i mean that voice sounds sooo fake ladylike, i know why everyone thinks it is a woman but still

[Kazanne]

The person who was the Octopus(I think it was that one) ,I am thinking that maybe Lucy Fallon as she has a really good voice and it sounded similar to hers,I'm probably way off though.

[Strictly Jake]

That's good news for ITV

[Mystic Mock]

It's a really fun show imo, it deserves every viewer that it's getting at the moment.

[Maxxie.]

Don't say your gonna stop watching tho because that's definitely a lie :joker:

[Maxxie.]

Just watched a clip of Italian X factor, not only can I confirm that skin speaks Italian but that Mika is also a judge meaning they have two British judges on the Italian version who are speaking English with each other half the time :joker: thought it might be interesting

[zrc]

Never seen such rubbish in my life. And the judges are just cringe, almost as much as the "singing".

Six more weeks of it, yeah no thanks.

[Vanessa]

The person who was the Octopus(I think it was that one) ,I am thinking that maybe Lucy Fallon as she has a really good voice and it sounded similar to hers,I'm probably way off though.

Oh, didn't know she could sing!

[Morgan.]

Oh, didn't know she could sing!

She did All Star Musicals recently

[GoldHeart]

Chameleon is the biggest shock reveal so far :o . I thought it was an athlete of some sort then I was actually starting to think it was Richard Blackwood like Ross suggested .

I never knew Justin Hawkins had buffed up , his body is more muscular and toned now :laugh: . But that voice is the same for sure . Makes me remember The darkness .

[GoldHeart]

Who is Duck? I'm so confused now!

I think Duck is skin from skunk anansie she's a singer who toured with Bowie , i remember seeing her on Jeremy Vine last year and looking back her voice sounds really similar to Duck :eureka: .

zCIjIZ50a_Q

No way, Skin is a way better singer than this Duck

[Lewismacfarlane]

My face will be like rita's face the other night if when unicorn takes off his mask its not John barrowman

[Marsh.]

Don't say your gonna stop watching tho because that's definitely a lie :joker:

Who said I was Liar McLiarFace!! :nono:

[Beastie]

The Unicorn could also be Kevin Mchale or Jake Shears as well as John Barrowman.

[Beastie]

I can imagine one of them being Kinga from Big Brother. She had a good voice.

[Morgan.]

I can imagine one of them being Kinga from Big Brother. She had a good voice.

:joker:

[zrc]

Kinga would arrive dressed as a giant wine bottle.

[Nicky91]

I can imagine one of them being Kinga from Big Brother. She had a good voice.

no reality stars in this show, we need A-Lister names
