The Masked Singer Uk series 2 Discussion thread starts boxing day 7pm

[Mitchell]

Tbf he shouldn't have got less votes than the Dragon.:joker:

And personally I feel that Viking was bringing more of a subtle tone to an otherwise very OTT Show, obviously some people will find that dull, but for me I'd rather that than the cliched stuff that the Sausage is doing but I suppose that's just my own personal taste coming in.

Dragon did one of the few upbeat songs this week, is a cute costume, has nailed the characterisation,, so it doesn’t surprise me at all really.

I agree with the bottom paragraph that the more dramatic performances sadly overshadowed Viking on the night.

However I disagree with the top paragraph as Viking did his sing-off well imo, and he clearly was in a different league to Grandfather Clock (I do like Glenn Hoddle though) I think that you obviously don't like Morten Harket's type of singing so are judging him more harshly because I honestly think that a lot of the public would've seen it as a Jedward beating Lucie moment if the Grandfather Clock had've beaten Viking that week.

I love Take on Me, and if I’d seen him do that I would’ve seriously considered voting for him, but the one performance of vikings I saw was that one, and it really wasn’t a surprise to me that he was voted out, the audience tends not to have gone to any shows beforehand, so had no idea what he’d done previously, the general opinion that evening was that Viking would probably have the least votes and go first, it really wasn’t a surprise to anyone.

I totally agree that he shouldn’t have gone over Grandfather Clock, but most of the social media reaction (that I saw at least, which admittedly was less than normal) seemed to be saying he should’ve gone, which definitely isn’t the case.

[Marsh.]

Her music was played on a few episodes, its a clue to make it look like someoen else

But, again, it would have to still relate to who the actual person is.

They're using ambiguous clues that could relate to several people to make the guessing a bit more fun.

Using fake clues is a cheat.

[GoldHeart]

Oh a lot of the studio audience were gonna find Viking's style of singing dull which is fair enough.

I just can't believe that so many of the audience thought that the Dragon was the best on the night to be able to beat a contestant who was clearly more talented. I still don't get how he beat Swan either.

I'm with you that Dragon is a man.


The judges also really like Dragon it seems, even though Blob was more fun to watch. But I just enjoyed being right in guessing Lenny Henry :joker: . His voice is so distinct .

Yeah I'm certain Dragon is a man , I still don't understand why the judges think it's a woman .

[GoldHeart]

How does 2 Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps relate to Joss Stone?

I know some clues are purposely ambiguous so they can relate to a number of people but that's quite a blatant clue that doesn't apply to many people.

Exactly which is why there's no way it's Joss Stone, It's more likely to be Sheridan Smith .

[Marsh.]

I think Dragon is still ambiguous. I can see why people would think it's a man or woman. The voice could be either.

I also think that's why Dragon keeps surviving despite not being the best singer, because they're one of the most intriguing so far in terms of guessing. It's more fun to get a few more weeks out of a mask everyone's struggling to settle on than one that was obviously Lenny Henry at the start.

[Mystic Mock]

Personally just because Dragon did an uptempo number doesn't mean that it should've been enough for Dragon to stay imo over either Viking or Blob.

And I would ignore Social Media as I remember the Glenn Hoddle super fans were out in force when they knew it was him as the Grandfather Clock.:joker:

I agree with you that the Blob was more fun to watch out of the less vocally talented contestants.

And Lenny Henry probably did the worst job of hiding his voice out of everyone.:joker:

Personally I think that Dragon is Courtney Act, I've not been able to shake that feeling the first time that I heard the Dragon sing.

Sausage is really starting to annoy me the clues link to the stacey's but the voice really doesn't

[Denver]

Sausage is really starting to annoy me the clues link to the stacey's but the voice really doesn't

They are all clues pointing toward Joss Stone with the 2 most obvious the Joss Sticks on Dover Sole with her being a soul singer from Dover

[Nicky91]

voice of Sausage for me sounds more like Jessie J

had that from first week, when she sang Skin

[Lewismacfarlane]

Said Sheridan Smith for Sausage the whole time but the snakes and ladders clue have made me reconsider and think Joss Stone now

Football clue is Aston

[Nicky91]

[Nicky91]

2 will be unmasked tonight in semi finals

[Nicky91]

Macy Gray doing Billie Eilish, fab :love: :love:

[Denver]

About to start

[Vanessa]

Listening to Dragon, that definitely sounds like Courtney Act to me.

[Denver]

Gabrielle is amazing she deserved more success then she got

[Vanessa]

Aston plays golf and has played football for Soccer Aid.

[Denver]

Sausage is so Joss Stone

[Vanessa]

Sausage definitely Sheridan Smith

[GoldHeart]

Dragon is John Barrowman "break the ice" he's a judge on dancing on Ice .

[GoldHeart]

Aston plays golf and has played football for Soccer Aid.

100% Aston for sure

And I still think Harlequin is Gabrielle

[Denver]

Sure Perkins is the Dragon

[Vanessa]

Omg I didn't expect that!

[Kate!]

Somebody guessed her. Lewis I think?

[smudgie]

Wow, what a fantastic voice Sue Perkins has.
Never in a million years could I have guessed it was her.

[Vanessa]

Who knew Sue Perkins could sing like that?

[Kate!]

I know. What a beautiful voice. Well done Sue. Xx

[hijaxers]

Well she was right ~dreadul with mask off :laugh:

[GoldHeart]

Sure Perkins is the Dragon

:shocked::shocked: I legit thought it was a bloke omg

[GoldHeart]

I'm so shocked:joker:

[Denver]

Joss Stone is amazing

[Denver]

Harlequin is Gabrielle

[Vanessa]

This one was very obvious.

[GoldHeart]

Harlequin should of been in the final:fist:.

Anyway I knew it was Gabrielle :cheer2:

[UserSince2005]

Gabriel was so obvious but suddenly they all think it is her in the last episode.

I still think sausage is Rebecca Ferguson

[Mystic Mock]

The top four performances has to be one of the best rounds in the entire series imo.

Badger's version of Smells Like Teen Spirit is iconic.:dance:

[Rob!]

Sure Perkins is the Dragon

Thank you Trevor McDonald.

[GoldHeart]

The top four performances has to be one of the best rounds in the entire series imo.

Badger's version of Smells Like Teen Spirit is iconic.:dance:

Harlequin still should of beaten Badger to the final, but I knew it would be a sad result as I like Harlequin, Robin ,Badger & Sausage .

[Nicky91]

such boring reveals :idc: :idc:

[Nicky91]

z-lister celebs in the masks, cheap lacklustre ITV

[AnnieK]

Don't watch it then Nicky...:shrug:

[Nicky91]

why do all of you get everything correct


or were you guys among the audience and already know who's behind the mask :suspect:

[AnnieK]

What?

You come on every Sunday and demand it cancelled or saying its lacklustre tv. All I'm saying is if you don't enjoy it don't watch it. I worry that you get so stressed over it.

They're never going to get A Listers

[Nicky91]

They're never going to get A Listers

just steal money from the corrupt government, ask for more taxes from public


then we can get our A-Lister celebs on our shows :flutter:

[Lewismacfarlane]

Stacey solomon
Neyo
Aston merrygold

[Marsh.]

Yes, let's tax the public to get Paula Deen to dress up as a dragon on a British reality show so Nicky from Timbuktu can jizz at it.

[Marsh.]

why do all of you get everything correct

Because they're familiar with the people being discussed via the clues.

Obviously.

[Marsh.]

Gabriel was so obvious but suddenly they all think it is her in the last episode.

The show is entirely pre-recorded so in the edit afterwards if a singer makes it quite far like Harlequin did they purposely tone down on any correct guesses for her in early episodes to keep the mystery going.

I think Jonathan Ross made a couple of references to Martine McCutcheon before her unmasking that were edited out.

They’ve cut out weeks of Lenny and Gabrielle, and weeks of Rita thinking it’s ‘Ashton’ from JLS, I do genuinely think they didn’t know Morten & Sue, or guessed Sausage and Badger just yet, but I could be wrong

[Nicky91]

Because they're familiar with the people being discussed via the clues.

Obviously.

umm i'm not, i really genuinely also with the clues was on Holly Johnson for Robin, i mean even the football clue i could connect to him being a liverpool fan or also hillsborough disaster charity song


for Harlequin, Gabrielle had crossed my mind, but i switched to Macy Gray bc i really thought i recognized that voice even more, so went into the wrong tunnel sadly

Sausage well i just hear Jessie J, after last night again especially in first song


Badger i was onto a rock singer at first, but when he began with non-rock songs, i heard his real voice, i was first Chris Brown but i saw other people mentioning Ne-Yo and i do actually know him (umm more from Pitbull song time of our lives)



Dragon LOL i was into the chef direction (and tbh i was close since Sue did present bake off but i never thought Sue could sing or perform like that)

[Mystic Mock]

Harlequin still should of beaten Badger to the final, but I knew it would be a sad result as I like Harlequin, Robin ,Badger & Sausage .

Tbh even though he did a good performance of Footloose, I feel that Robin was probably the weakest in that particular round imo.

It was a very strong round though.

[Mystic Mock]

z-lister celebs in the masks, cheap lacklustre ITV

Gabrielle and Sue Perkins aren't Z-Listers.:laugh:

[Nicky91]

in our dutch Masked Singer even there i flop with a few masks :laugh:

with ''tunnel vision'' as we call that

but i did predict the winner correctly twice now here :hee:

[Nicky91]

our panel is kinda funny how wrong they sometimes are with their guesses

i mean

Buddy Vedder: he sums up every celeb within his age group who he knows from social media

Gerard Joling: our best panellist whom thoroughly thinks through the clues at least

Carlo Boszhard: sums up every musical theatre star he can possibly think of :skull:

Loretta Schrijver: wants to hug every single one of the masked characters, and wants her colleague Quinty Trustfull to be behind one of them (hasn't happened so far)


also our clues work like, not all are true so also with a lot of fake to mislead the people


our main viewers well are also same ones who like watching/puzzling in The Mole


but yeah i like this show but i hate it when i get it all wrong (sadly a lot i need to up my game next time)

[Mitchell]

z-lister celebs in the masks, cheap lacklustre ITV

I mean Sue Perkins hosted the biggest tv show of the last decade and Gabrielle is a hugely recognisable name, with millions and millions of sales in the UK and two albums that went 4x platinum, but Paula Deen, almost exclusively known for her racism by the very few people over here who know her, should’ve been on the show.

[Black Dagger]

z-lister celebs in the masks, cheap lacklustre ITV

Do something better with your life. Honestly

[Vanessa]

Its just a bit of fun.
It's definitely helping me through the lockdown.
Can't wait for The Masked Dancer!

[GoldHeart]

Tbh even though he did a good performance of Footloose, I feel that Robin was probably the weakest in that particular round imo.

It was a very strong round though.

No way was Robin weakest:nono:
Robin was one of the best !!, he put on a show with his dancing and everything and his vocals were strong so I'm glad he's in the final .

If anything Badger was the weakest if I had to judge by the nirvana song,but we all know Badger is good though.

I-

yes i do know Gabrielle, i know her most recent song Shine


well i can still dream and hope Paula appearing on american masked singer then :love:

[GoldHeart]

But as I've said the remaining contestants are all good singers, so it will still be a fun final even though harlequin/ Gabrielle sadly went .

Just like last year the final was talented and fun :clap1: .

idk what was bad about Harlequin last night, even sweet but psycho was kinda fun with her distinctive voice

[GoldHeart]

Hearing Gabrielle sing sweet but psycho made me like that song :joker: :clap1: .

And I also liked her version of Harry styles Falling aswell, I now like that song :) .

It's like when I heard Queen Bee sing Lewis Capaldi someone you loved and I now really like hearing that song.

I personally just feel like Badger did the strongest cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit that I've personally ever heard, as normally they're horror show performances when people attempt to sing that song imo. Away from Nirvana's original version of course.

Harlequin gave yet another distinctive performance imo.

Sausage had a song that really suited her and did really well imo.

And then for me there was Robin who for me gave a fun performance, but it just didn't have as much character to it imo compared to the other three performances in my view.

Tbf though I get your opinion as the round was quite tight in terms of quality of the performances.

I like Badger but I thought his nirvana wasn't his best out of everyone , it's just my opinion especially compared to amazing harlequin.

But I like his performances and as there was such a tight small group of good singers still in I knew a really good singer would unfortunately get booted :shrug:. But I'm looking forward to the final and I think Sausage will win.

I'm just glad all the contestants in th final have decent voices who perform well.

Oh all three left are talented.

I do object to Whitney Houston being sung on the Show though, 15 series of bad covers from TXF contestants has done that to me so I do have a bias against the Sausage tonight.:joker:

Let's be honest will Sausage do as good a job on these songs as Whitney Houston? I'm predicting that it'll be a wannabe version like how all of the Whitney covers on these Shows end up being.

yes, although not everyone's cup of tea since not everyone is a fan of Jessie

[Marsh.]

So excited for Paula Deen's win tonight.

[Mystic Mock]

yes, although not everyone's cup of tea since not everyone is a fan of Jessie

I actually don't mind some Jessie J songs tbf.

I just have a Whitney Houston cover fatigue, they always end up being horrible covers as well so it's more of an attack on The Masked Singer selecting the song more than having any personal issues with Sausage.

[GoldHeart]

yes, although not everyone's cup of tea since not everyone is a fan of Jessie

Still holding onto the idea it's Jessie J eh ? .
I still think it's Sheridan Smith or Stacy Solomon ,but I could be wrong .

[Mystic Mock]

i rather wish it was Paula and not Sue though for the dragon last week UGH

Yeah, how dare well known celebrity and television presenter Sue Perkins show her face when we could have had an obscure racist from the depths of the US.

[Mitchell]

So excited for Paula Deen's win tonight.

:joker::joker:

[Nicky91]

Robin = Aston Merrygold, soo hope he doesn't win

:idc:


Badger can win this for me, i mean he's the one who has me puzzling the most

[Kate!]

I really want Sausage to win.

I have Whitney and everyone who sings her songs fatigue , sorry but i hate all her songs.

[arista]

On Now

[Vanessa]

Robin : Aston Merrygold

[hijaxers]

Well Ritas dress is the biggest laugh of the night , she looks like a chocolate box.

[Vanessa]

Ok, that does sound like Neyo.

[Denver]

We love Joss Stone

[AnnieK]

Sausage is Joss Stone I think (I was convinced zheridan smith but not now)

[thisisdanny]

The way Stacey Solomon is trending on Twitter :skull:

[thisisdanny]

Olly Murs also trending :skull:

[Denver]

Yes Aston has lost another Talent Show

[Vanessa]

Sausage could actually really be Joss Stone.
The last clue about the Grammy?

[thisisdanny]

I thought the football clues were Soccer Aid or did he forget that

[thisisdanny]

Sausage saying she won a Grammy and people on Twitter are still saying it's Stacey Solomon

[UserSince2005]

I didn’t start sing until I was 16, 17.

Then the host mentions him on stars in their eyes when he was a little kid

Cringe

No offence to Stacey, but she wishes to have a voice like Joss Stone's.:laugh:

On a side note my favourite finished third last year, second this year, hopefully next year Trevor Francis will triumph as the Blueberry.:dance:

[Mystic Mock]

Stacey is a great singer so I doubt she wished she had a voice like Joss :laugh:

Lucie and Rachel were better vocalists from that year out of the girls imo.

Stacey's not a bad singer (I really enjoyed her Who Wants To Live Forever performance) it's just that I would say that she was more of an okay singer than an exceptional singer which Joss Stone can be when she picks the right song choices for herself imo.

[GoldHeart]

Stacey is a great singer so I doubt she wished she had a voice like Joss :laugh:

Exactly Stacy Solomon & Sheridan Smith both have good voices :clap1: .

But OMG I'm shocked Sausage was Joss stone , that's a blast from the past and I think her voice has now improved alot :o, I never thought it was Joss Stone Wow.

Badger got me thinking Ne Yo ,but I kept thinking noooo it can't be :joker: .

Robin was obviously Aston Merrigold from day 1 , and the final clue about 'marigolds' confirmed it again :laugh:

[Marsh.]

I knew it wasn't Sheridan Smith. She's ok but she doesn't have a very powerful voice. Nowhere near what Joss has.

[Lewismacfarlane]

I was so happy Robin was aston just so I could prove my friend wrong

[Cherie]

I told you all it was Joss

You did

[Mystic Mock]

I was so happy Robin was aston just so I could prove my friend wrong

Who did your friend think he was out of interest?

[Lewismacfarlane]

She kept changing her mind but she was certain I was wrong I said Aston
