The Masked Singer on Fox

It's Susan Boyle

If it means lining the pockets of the dreadful anti-vaxx loon Jenny McCarthy, I think not.

What’s going on with Nick Cannon‘s hair?

I shall not be watching

Who do you think the singers are? Could it be Paula Abdul?

Imagine trying a show like this in the 70s? They all had a very distinct voices and you could tell Cher from Diana Ross in about three seconds.

Will they A stars or the usual reality TV stars who do every reality show they can. Ryan Reynolds did the Korean version. He was so nervous you can her his voice cracking but he can hold a tune.

The "California Dreamin'" singer sounds like Mya.

Half will be *celebrities* you've never heard of, and the other half will be ones you don't care about.

R8 I thought that sounded like Christina Aguilera.

r10, that was also my first thought, but then I second guessed myself and wondered if Xtina was too obvious.

Not Xtina. Carrie Underwood or Lady Gaga

The mask looks scary

Based on the Ryan Reynolds example, it's pretty much impossible to tell who it is unless it's someone who is relatively famous for singing.

I would never have guessed who it was - and guessing is 90% of the entertainment value of this show. The novelty of people like Reynolds or some other random celebrity singing will wear thin. I mean, how many times can you say, "I didn't know xyz could sing so well."

It doesn't say all the contestants are good singers, so we'll see.

I don't believe they are really singing inside those costumes. I think the songs are pre-recorded and they just stand there and hold the mike to the "mouth" of their costume. The acoustics would be fucked up with some of that elaborate costumes they're wearing. Can we stipulate this?

In the Ryan Reynolds clip in Korea he was definitely singing live. You can hear it in his voice and when they do a side shot you can see his head shaking.

Why?

[quote]I thought that sounded like Christina Aguilera.

It's Brandi Glanville! Just kidding, but that's the caliber of celebrity I'm expecting.

Brandi would never be asked to be in a singing competition. She just doesn't have the chops like I do!

Nick Cannon is involved...BIG PASS.

Asshole buddy of Kevin Hart.

r17 -- Do you seriously think those movements could not be faked if he had an earphone playing his recording in his ear?

Even you could do it.

I thought the point is that the person under the mask is a non-singing celebrity

Peacock is Donnie Osmond

Hippo Alphonso Ribero?

Hard pass.

My partner is forcing me to watch this. Scripted ad-libs and HORRIBLE judges. I'm considering a divorce.

I cannot believe I watched the full hour. It has the same corniness of '70's variety shows.

Unicorn is either Tori Spelling or Paris Hilton.

How are some of you able to watch the show before last night ?

It looks enjoyably weird. I’ll give it a shot

Perfect comeback vehicle for O.J.

Damn, Nick Cannon's hair and suit makes him look like Kenan Thompson doing his Al Sharpton impression.

r30 It showed up on my hulu on Sunday I think, I haven't watched it yet though.
