The Masked Singer on Fox

Didn't see it but saw bus shelter ads for it etc. In TV development-land, this show wouldn't have got past the thinking stages 25 years ago. Times really have changed.

And it just strikes me as sooooo Network (the movie).

I'm with R1. Besides the frauest frauen in the Frauland, I struggle to understand who'd watch that. But, then, it's on Fox.

I am watching due to morbid curiosity as to the D List celebs who are masked.

Who were some of them ?.....anyone "famous" ? Tribune pulled their programming from Spectrum, so I cant watch.

Can we get a vaccination against Jenny McCarthy?

The Twitter feed for the show had a contest on whoever the Lion is. All the guesses were The A-Listers of Pop music. Those people probably have never even heard of this show and will never be on it.

Something tells me there will be a lot of reality tv wanna bees under those costumes.

The show is really great but you just know the celebs n the costumes are nobodies so its gonna make the reveals really anti climatic.

Mashked Shingah

Is this a one-night thing or what? Donny Osmond and Terry Bradshaw are trending on Twitter because of this weird-ass shit.

God, what a waste of keeping my eyes open. Those elaborate costumes? Why? And background dancers? Yeesh. Lame-o judges and host. I only watched to see what caliber of "celebrity" would possibly debase themselves for this crap. I had no idea who that athlete was under that big stupid head, and don't care. Took it off my DVR schedule.

This show is truly a trainwreck. I was curious about how the show worked but stayed for the idiocy of the judges. Maybe they were scripted to guess A-listers like Lady Gaga but it just made the seem clueless. Someone needs to tell Ken Jeong that he's funny only when he's reciting someone else's funny lines. Almost felt sorry for Robin Thicke, who seemed to be thinking "Where did my career go?" Robin, just think of this as atonement for stealing "Got To Give It Up" from Marvin Gaye.

Unless one of the masked singers is at least B-list, this will feel like a huge ripoff.

I hear Ina Garten is in the Hedgehog costume.

To me it looks like a variation of lip sync battle.

The overall concept reminds me of the comedy show Burning Love (a Bachelor / Bachelorette spoof) where one contestant showed up in a bear costume, she gets voted off in the first episode and in the limo she takes off the head of the bear costume and it's Jennifer Aniston.

Apparently, it's a foreign show adapted for the U.S. Ryan Reynolds once appeared on "The Masked Singer" in South Korea.

The promos tout that there are emmy and Grammy winners under the costumes. Those would be at least B list right?

Take all the singers who have appeared on Dancing with the 'Tards and there you have your guess list?

ALSO: Hasselhoff

Feldman

Osmond

All boy band members except Timberlake

Any "mall pop star" from 1982 to 1990.

the list goes on and on...

Y'all are slipping! The singer Ciara is clearly the one under the lion's head. That chick is everywhere these days.

Surely one of them Is Adele Dazeem, right?

I was guessing Aaron Carter, Joey Fatone, Tori Spelling, Taterhead Willis.

The Peacock has to be Donny Osmond

The Monster has to be CeeLo

I'm figuring the Unicorn is Tori Spelling

I thought initially the lion was a Kardashian, but then it turned out she was talented.

The lion they are saying is Rumor Willis.

The best part about this show are the judges guesses. "Is it P Diddy? It could be Lady Gaga..." Yes Jenny McCarthy...Lady Gaga. How about this...look to your left, look to your right...and guess the stars on the the level of the panel.. "Could it be Rebecca Black? Maybe it's FLO from the Progressive Commericals..."

Ryan Reynolds actually was the Unicorn on a Foreign Version of this show!!....He sang Tomorrow!!......As for this version...I watched it....Worst. Show. Ever.

R22 Like Flo would reduce herself to this.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

LOL at R22. Lady Gaga, fresh off the road to Oscar, sweating under a giant head. Maybe she was promised that level of A talent to get her to sign on.

Wish one was her husband. Hence the new last name.

Anyone watching? This 'Raven' is so obviously Ricki Lake.

D-list judges, and they're guessing 'A' list masked singers? Get real.

Definitely Ricki. She did sound good.

The Alien... LaToya?

It's a huge hit and I see why. It really is pretty fun to figure out (and I refuse to go to any spoiler sites). Who was that skinny model alien? Any guesses?

They really couldn't get judges that were any worse, could they?

La Toya is a good guess. Below 'D' list, can't sing and needs a gig, so it fits.

Poodle...Margaret Cho

howl, "Jane Fonda" is the poodle? "Jane, we have an offer..."

Margaret Cho is my guess since they are clearly NOT singing live, too slick.

Nicole Scherzinger is beautiful. I don't think she's had much work done at all.

Is the elephant Chrissy Metz?!?

Jenny McCarthy is quite possibly one of the stupidest people on the planet. And annoying.

All are going to be the usual reality show people like Lance Bass, Brandi Glanville. Donny Osmond, Cho and Ricki Lake all did DWTS

Even if they guess they aren't going to spoil it.

LOL, it really is the Killing of Sister George and her "mooo" at the end. No matter who you are, all roads lead to a giant plaster head and sweating for a mortgage payment.

-Also, if the judges guess it, it will never be the one. Either edited out or coached. Notice how hard they worked not to guess Ricki Lake or Cho.

Bee...Marie Osmond?

The bee is some American Idol reject.

Said she was in the biz for a long time and wants to sing fir a new generation

The Bee is actress Lee Grant.

Roberta Flack?

Fine, then some Soul Train reject.

Jaye P Morgan. Who else is alive? And could take the giant head? Miss Warwick would have a fucking fit, ha.

Isn't Warwick from the 60's?

Tommy Chong was also on DWTS

Holy fuck, it was Tommy Chong lol

I swear, I thought Chong was dead years ago.

Carnie Wilson

r37 you take that back Jenny is a fucking genius! She cured Autism, she married a NKOTB and had Jim Carey's dick in her pussy. She can do anything.

r49 I guess Ronnie Spector, last time I saw her on TV she was a bartender on WWHL with Andy Cohen so this would be a huge step up.

The Bee is Martha Reeves.

Just finished the second episode. I really like the show even though people make fun of it. The judges do sound like a bunch of dorks .

This is a January filler show on FOX, I would scale my celebrity guesses appropriately.

Because I am that desperate for something to do at work today that isn't work, I listened to the whole show again today on Hulu. I don't watch it at all....just listened which I thought made them all pretty easy...

The Raven is Ricki Lake (no contest) - The Alien is LaToya (Pretty Certain) - The Poodle is Margaret Cho (eh?) - The Rabbit is Joey Fatone -- The Bee is Gladys Knight (listening and not watching lead me to this one)

If I am right, It KILLS me that that Gladys is doing this. She's an American treasure. However, I swear when you take away the frippery of the visuals, her distinctive voice shines through. And it's a pretty great performance as well.

The Bee is Mary Wilson.

I think the Bee is Mavis Staples

Did they ambush her?

The Bee is definitely Gladys Knight!

I feel like I am being very disrespectful to some great women, but there is no way Mary Wilson, Martha Reeves or Mavis Staples are fitting into that bee costume.

Judging from her appearance at Aretha's funeral, Gladys could...

i'm guessing Jim J. Bullock

I was thinking Mary Wilson as well, but I'm going to stick with Martha Reeves.

It's not Gladys Knight or Ronnie Spector; their voices are distinctive.

Ms. Reeves could fit into the costume; look her up online. She's actively attempting to re-ignite her career and has always been slim.

Not that Ms. Reeves doesn't have a distinctive voice, it just Gladys & Ronnie are instantly recognizable.

Ms. Reeves has a buttery smooth, more soulful voice than Ms. Wilson. Slighly deeper, fuller.

It’s Gladys Knight and she neeeeds to release a covers album after this.

Wow, I bet the producers aren't thrilled with Marie and her confirmation (or is she just nodding to whatever they are saying and really unaware?)

Martha Reeves' voice is not all that buttery smooth anymore R67

R56 & 66/67 here..

I was wrong. Not Martha Reeves.

Gladys Knight.

The bee is definitely Diana Ross and the peacock is definitely Elton John.

The bee is Gladys you dumbass.

In the clues segment for the bee, the music in the backround was Motownish, the guys dancing behind her were doing Pip moves, and she referred to herself as empress. Definitely Gladys Knight.

Marie needs to learn to shut up until the reveal.

Gladys/The Bee did a microphone move where she extends the mic far out that it classic Gladys. Def her.

The peacock is definitely Ina Garten’s husband Jeffrey.

I guessed Donny Osmond and Gladys Knight, as the hints and the voices were easy for me to guess. I guessed Rumor Willis from the hints, but had no way of knowing her voice.

I agree with those who've guessed Margaret Cho and Ricki Lake.

I'm also wanting to place Nicole Richie somewhere, but I'm not sure where.

This show is fun.

The Bee said she is sometimes referred to as Empress. Gladys is known as the Empress of Soul.

I wonder if they have a contingency plan for if the world quickly figures out who the singers are -- and will they stick around once it's obvious they are right? I do love the costumes and colors and energy so will sick around -- but I think all the predictions are dead on right.

It was hilarious the comments on YouTube were guessing Lady Gaga and Carrie Underwood. As if singers of their level would do this show.

Ryan Reynolds is a big star and he did it.

Ryan Reynolds did it in the Korean version to promote Deadpool 2.

Has Leslie Uggams commented yet?

The Rabbit is NOT JOEY FATONE!!!

Perhaps The Rabbit is one of the Jacksons. Maybe Jermaine?

JC from NSYNC?

Another clue for the rabbit is “I’ve been training for this my whole life” and then he starts jumping an imaginary jump rope. Maybe he’s a boxer? MMA fighter?

Just figure out all the boy band members that have done "Dancing With The Stars". Probably Joey McIntyre.

Ken Jeong is very, very intensely into all of this nonsense.

I think the rabbit is JC Chasez.

Emily Blunt? Christ probably a Kardashian.

I don't know what's more tragic, that shit show or the people who watch it.

This is the very definition of guilty pleasure.

[quote]I don't know what's more tragic, that shit show or the people who watch it.

Sick kids are tragic, unclench.

Tonight is a new episode! East coasters do not ruin it for the rest of us! Thank you!

So we have to wait until 1 in the morning to discuss it?

Corbin Bleu

Yeah R98! It’s all about the west coasters and our needs!

Only joking do what you want.

Corbin Bleu also from "DWTS" and his big song in "High School Musical" was "Keep Your Head In The Game"

This even makes Dancing with the "Stars" seem highbrow.

Nicole's face looks like shit. It looks like it's going to snap. And it looks like she is smelling a fart.

I hope the unmasked contestant tonight can launch his or her singing career without fail.

I just love that Peacock!

That deer is such a fox!

Peacock is Donny Osmund. Unicorn is Tori Spelling. Lion is Rumor Willis.

This abortion makes 'Dancing With the Nobodies' look like Shakespeare.

Come now it is a fun, harmless show. It’s pretty entertaining.

Why didn't Riki Lake sing tonight?

I feel bad for anyone associated with this, forever stuck on the d/f list.

These shows pay the mortgage, winner of DWTS gets almost $400 grand.

The lion looks quite tall. Perhaps a female professional athlete?

I think the lion is either Rumer Willis or Paris Jackson

I keep watching this show, and all I am sure of is Jenny McCarthy is special needs.

The fact that Tori was seen after getting a skin peel, suggests she was freshening up for when she is revealed.

Because Americans have no original ideas a, they had to adapt a South Korean show which has zero chances of succeeding in the States.

In South Korea, pop stars are openly manufactured in front of everyone's eyes and routinely and systematically trotted out on TV shows like this. Kpop fans have grown to accept and expect that. These stars are trained up by their agencies for this style of pop culture specifically.

These shows work in the Korean market because how top pop idols are treated there, but in the US it will always be D-lister central.

Fox is also pretty late to the game. Viral video clips from the Korean show made their way to Western websites like Reddit eons ago. I'm sure the 53-year old white suburban woman demo is still enchanted by the novelty of it all, but this is a new low for Fox. Linear television is dead.

R103 I think she looks pretty good, actually.

I think the Monster is T Pain

Gladys Knight (Bee) is singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl. I think she’s on a career resurgence, and I’m all for it.

The Lion is definitely a Willis, ,maybe Rumor? The newspaper with the "Hailey" headline was the most definitive hint so far. She was raised in Hailey, Idaho. But I think Scout is better known for her protests, freeing the nipple and whatnot. So not sure which yet.

Even that Unicorn mask can't completely hide the enormous Tori Spelling jaw.

Peacock still Donny Osmond.

The Monster has me stumped, thought Cee Lo the first week but realized this week I was so wrong about the voice.

The Monster is definitely T-Pain, they sound so alike. I really liked his performance.

The Monster is Corbin Bleu

The Monster doesn’t sound like Corbin Bleu to me. The Monster is from the south and they show swamps (Corbin Bleu is from NY, T Pain is from Tallahassee) and the part where you see the Monster driving from city to city is straight out of T Pain’s “Can’t Believe It” music video. You also see him wearing a top hat which T Pain is famous for.

The Unicorn should have been voted off.

Or the deer. Both were pretty weak.

The Rabbit Lance Bass

The Rabbit is absolutely from NSYNC. They've almost give too many clues and the fact that he avoided answering Nicole's question about being on tour with her group sealed it. I feel like Rabbit is Joey Fatone, though.

How many eps is this show scheduled for? Most of the contestants have been guessed on the reddit boards. Tonight the judges are just throwing shit on the wall to avoid completely giving away the contestants. Guessing Sally Jessie Rafael and Paris Hilton,?! Please. Spare me.

These people are too stupid to live to not get Rikki Lake, who I think should win. She has been good both times now.

Again, I think they edit out any right answers (or tell them not to say them). Like naming every NSync singer there was EXCEPT for Lance Bass makes me think R127 is right.

By the way, I used to have Ricki Lake's family address and I swear it had Hudson in it. So it really is her. Even distorted, you can so hear it in her speaking voice.

Got hand it to Margaret Cho being that high up and basically blind in the mask. She did well.

Jenny Mcarthy and Robin Thicke - guessed Omarosa and Kelly Ann Conway for the Poodile. Seriously?!?!? Totally F-ing stupid.

Aren't these episodes taped ahead of time?

btw Nicole looked gorgeous as always.

Gladys Knight

Star Jones makes the most sense, so to speak.

Wonder how they will keep up the momentum now that almost everyone has been guessed by the general public. Maybe a double elimination soon.

Gladys looks great and in fine shape. Hope this show with its mass audience will help her put out new music including covers as she is singing here so well.

Cho looks skinny these days. Especially in that outfit.

I swear to God these judges must be paid in IQ points so they can catch up to the rest of us.

Don't be too hard on them. I have a feeling they are being coached big time not to guess right. I mean, my hick cousins in Louisiana are guessing right so you know the celebs know too.

Margaret Cho!

My faves are the rabbit, peacock, and monster.

Is the bee Patti Labelle or Gladys Knight?

The bee is Gladys

The Monster is T Pain

This shit is so stupid!

Nah, the big reveal every week is absolutely exciting and milked for every glorious second. If we are going to have guilty pleasures, at least let them be this fun.

Gladys is going to win, right? I mean, could you imagine being Gladys fucking Knight and losing a singing competition to Tori Spelling?

I think The Rabbit is one of the backstreet boys.

I think The Peacock will win it all.

AJ McLean is The Rabbit.

The Bee - Chaka Khan?

I wanted the Poodle to stay on for another week.

The alien sounded horrible in episode 4. Margaret Cho was way better than her, and should have stayed instead.

I think the alien is that snotty bitch Paris Hilton.

I truly believe the alien is LaToya Jackson.

Poor Nicole, she is a-list in the UK as an X-Factor judge but her in the US she got the masked singer....

R154 Yeah, she's pretty much a non-entity over here. Shame her career never took off, because she's really quite beautiful and isn't a bad singer.

She also left a bad taste in our mouths after her Dancing With The Stars appearance here in the US.

How so R156?

She was basically a pro dancer, even though it's not an amateur show.

She rebuilt her career with theater. Andrew Lloyd Weber personally praised her as the best singer ever then she left his show to go do X-factor. She burns bridges.

She had a voice acting role in Moana

Well?

Is the Alien Nicole Richie?

The Indiana badge pretty much proved it was LaToya though I don't get the police connection.

This format only works in Asia because A-list musicians in their prime participate in reality/variety shows all the time and there's professional stigma against it there.

True. They should make it a one night event, a new batch of four every week or whatever, so less commitment from the singers -- and then get good ones with new music to promote. God knows it has an audience.

Maybe the rabbit is from New Kids on the Block?

Agree. It doesn’t work dragging it out for 12 weeks. Could be better if done right.

It's getting good ratings, so someone must be enjoying it.

Fox announced that they're bringing it back for another season

The Bee is Gladyn Knight, the alien is LaToya Jackosn. She was on a reality show a few years ago where she was a cop so i assume she officially got sworn in as a volunteer cop or something. Im convinced the rabbit is Joey Fatone.

The rabbit is Jordan from New Kids On The Block

I believe the Rabbit is David Blaine

Glad to hear it’s renewed for another season. I didn’t think I’d like the show. It’s pretty entertaining.

Rabbit is Lance Bass, Alien is LaToya Jackson, Bee is Gladys Knight, Peacock is Donny Osmond, no clue who the monster is, and the black bird...

Rabbit is Joey Fatone

Joey Fatone is toooooooooo fat for the Rabbit.

Why does the rabbit twitch? The entire show is a cringe fest.

[quote]Why does the rabbit twitch?

Silly Rabbit, twitch is for kids.

The Monster is T-Pain

I think monster is a cutie!

Does anyone actually know who T-Pain is?

R180 I do! I was born in the 90’s and was in High School during his peak. He made fun songs that were always party staples. He received a lot of shit from pretentious music fans who don’t think hip hop is “real music” and he was the person who made auto tune the big thing at the time, but he seems like a really nice guy and is a friend to the gays

The Alien is Latoya Jacskon, the Lion is Tater Head Willis, The Rabbit is Joey Fatone. The Bee is Gladys Knight.

LaToya had a badge because she was on that OTHER idiotic where she and some other D-Listers including Jack Osborne all went through police training and became the police force in a small town somewhere.

I think, much to his credit, Jack Osborne continued being a police officer in the town long after the show ended.

Of course this could have all been some fever-dream on my part.

[r783] Here

Found it...

Thanks, guys, makes sense. She posed with a snake in Playboy too, right?

Raven is clearly Ricki Lake. So we are pretty much done. Time for a new batch.

Why would Donny Osmond have a Rainbow as a clue and is he 175 pounds?

The hair is his from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". It's him. Maybe the Osmonds are gay friendly (Marie has a gay son). Remember she blew it and exposed him on a talk show so no big suspense. That and Gladys Knight's waffle clue (too easy if one lives in Atlanta and knew her roach infested restaurant).

I predict we get to see Ricki Lake tonight.

The rainbow flag for the technicolor dreamcoat was a bullshit clue.

Monster is very short,

Its Raven Symone..

Who?

[quote]The promos tout that there are emmy and Grammy winners under the costumes.

Are you sure they didn't say Emmy/Grammy seat-fillers?

I watch none of this shit, but I assume all you really have to do is go through the list of people who have been on Celebrity Survivor or Dancing with the Stars or Celebrity Big Brother and it will be one them.

Gladys has a Grammy, no doubt. Maybe Osmond too.

T-Pain (Monster) has 2 Grammys

Bye Ricki

Has Crystal Bernard been on yet? How about Mike Lookinland? Thomas Beattie the pregnant man? Octomom? Tipper Gore? Ron Popeil?

[quote]I watch none of this shit, but I assume all you really have to do is go through the list of people who have been on Celebrity Survivor or Dancing with the Stars or Celebrity Big Brother and it will be one them.

Exactly.

[quote]Is the bee Patti Labelle or Gladys Knight?

No, I think the Bee is Aretha Franklin.🐝

[quote]Why would Donny Osmond have a Rainbow as a clue and is he 175 pounds?

That’s because it’s Kneel Patrick Harris. Rainbow flag. 🏳️‍🌈

R200 please read R187's comment.

I think the final 3 are going to be : Monster , Lion, and Bee.

I actually think the Monster is going to win the whole thing. He's so energetic.

Who are the emmy winners?

The finals will be Bunny, Lion and Bee. Mark my words

Ricki Lake won an Emmy for her talkshow, r202.

R202 , in addition to what R204 listed, I think Terry Bradshaw has won some Emmy's. I'm fairly certain he has, like a Daytime Emmy or those creative arts ones. I remember him and Dr. Phil making jokes once about be southern jocks.

If they are using a trollish statistic like nominations then Donny Osmond and Margaret Cho would up the number as well.

Bunny is one of the new kids on the block memebers

Kandi heard the Monster once, and knew it was T-pain.

Who’s Kandi?

The final 3 will be Rabbit, Pee Cock, and Bee. Those are the 3 professional singers. Boy band, 70s band, 50s Motown.

50s Motown ? I thought Motown started in the 60s

Motown was founded in 1959.

R211 That’s almost the 60s

Heard of every performer except T-pain.

You’d probably know a T-Pain song, you just don’t know it’s him. He does a lot of collabs and has 2 Grammys, one for a song he did with Kanye (Good Life) and one he did with Jamie Foxx (Blame it On The Alcohol)

T Pain and Kandi (from RHOA and now Celebrity Big Brother) had a song together. It had good radio play in 06. To whoever asked upthread who Kandi was

How is Kandi watching The Masked Singer from the Big Brother house?

The Bee said she started her career in the 50s when the judges asked.

the rabbit is Joey Fatone. The Peacock is Donny Osmond (Maire let that slip a long time ago) the Bee is Gladys Knight.

r175 that rabbit is tubby

Nick Cannon sucks.

r220 omg yes - how that guy got a announcer/hosting job I will never know... the way he says SINGHER..just bugs the fuck out of me..

He defended Kevin Hart so fuck him

What the hell is going on with his hair ?

He looks like Gloria Fucking Swanson.

YES !!!! That's who he looks like !

Nick Cannon with his bizarre Norma-Desmond-turbans and his less than sterling diction -- I swear he said "cream of the crap" instead of "crop" on the show -- is just a big question mark of a host. Why is he there? Why is he wearing turbans? What is going on?

And the judges are the most annoying thing on TV. They might as well just add constant subtitles and go full-on WTF Asian TV.

Nick Cannon is an idiot. Why does he keep getting hired?

This must have been taped a while ago. Ricki Lake said she was going to turn 50 "this year." She turned 50 last September. So, it's at least from last summer.

Jenny McCarthy said in an interview they did all the episodes in 9 days, so a quick paycheck for everyone whenever they taped.

Last six were in 8 Broadway shows, I know Donnie Osmond was in two, Little Johnnie Jones and Beauty & The Beast and Gladys was in Smokey Joe Cafe. Joey McIntire was in RENT

If it is T-Pain, he has a great voice- why the hell would he hide it with auto-tune his whole career? He's near Cee-lo's range.

And to answer the Nick's turban fetish- apparently they started off as his grandma's- I don't know if it was a last minute grab for a head wrap, or a homage to her.

Did Jenny McCarthy just guess Elton John? Lol

Tuned in late, first performance I saw was Lion.

Donny and Gladys did great!

It's embarrassingly bad

Gladys, T Pain and Donny for top 3

Its a fun show. Its a nice distraction from the news or a tough work day.

Donny was also in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. Joey Fatone was in Rent. If that is Rumor Willis, I think she was in Cabaret???? help?

This was filmed in June of last year. When they did the judges talk to the camera bit, they had an action board 🎬 that said June 26, 2018.

So how did all the audience members of all the shows keep the secret of all the identities for half a year?

Christ, Nick Cannon in the turban and the 70's aviator classes. He's an idiot.

What a suckfest.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

scroll down rumor's pics for the answer.

Joey Fatone was in Rent and Little Shop of Horrors. The Rabbit Joey Fatone.

The Rumor Willis link screwed up. Here is her tattoo, one of many The Lion mentioned.

R29 R238 Yeah, I bet they're already filming (or filmed) the second season by now. Sorta weird to think about how old these episodes are...

Rumer looks good. My friends that work on DWTS said that she had a body to die for.

The Lion is Dionne Warwick.

Isn't Dionne Warwick eleventy years old?

I thought the lion was that singer who married Russell Wilson who plays for the Seahawks.

They haven't filmed the 2nd season.

Dionne Warwick’s voice instantly recognizable.

She is not the lion

Trust me, the lion is Dionne Warwick.

Trust ME, R252 is lyin’.

This is a serious question. Do some of you even look at the clues?

the lion is Rumer Willis.

Rumor Willis is not a celebrity.

Sssshhh, dont tell her that !

[quote]Rumor Willis is not a celebrity.

She won "Dancing With The Stars".

peacock - donny Osmond

bee - Gladys knight

LION - rumer willis

bunny - joey McIntyre or Fatone

monster - wanya morris?

The Monster is T-Pain The Peacock - Donny Osmond The Lion - Rumor Willis The Bunny -Joey Fatone The Bee - Gladys Knight

Dionne Warwick is 78 years old, according to Wiki. There is no fucking way she's moving around like that, especially with the pace of reality shows filmed in 9 days. Her vocal range is lower than the person singing.

Gladys is 74.

R206 Bunny is Donnie Wahlberg.

I hope the Bunny is Milania

LaToya Jackson has a surprisingly good singing voice.

Agreed but I really think all of those singers, save for the two real pros, are sweetened like mad. We sure wouldn't know they are singing to playback under those masks.

R200 Donny wore a wig and rainbow jacket in Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat

I saw rumor in Chicago a few years ago in NYC she was great. Seems like a very nice girl.

The Bee is Sally Struthers

"LaToya Jackson has a surprisingly good singing voice."

She was a lot better than I expected

Is LaToya still a virgin? Or was that another Jackson?

Auto tune did wonders for LaToya.

How can they auto tune when they’re singing live?

Seriously ?

I just binged up to current and I got Tori Spelling and also thought Cheech and maybe Chong. I was lost with Margaret Cho and Ricki, totally missed it.

Alien IS Rebbie "Centipede" Jackson Bee: Gladys Knight but trying to get us to think it's Patti Labelle. Lion: Ashley Judd Peacock: Not sure, maybe Neil Patrick Harris or Cris Angel Rabbit - I so want it to be Donnie Walberg, but not sure a boy bander for sure - NYSNC? Monster - No clue but I love this one the best.

It's Rebbie Jackson not La Toya

Oh it was LaToya.

The body on the Alien gave it away as Latoya the most. She looked same as always -- giant head on tiny body.

I agree that the lion is Rumor Willis. I previously thought that but hope that it wasn't. Is it just some pool that they cast the same people from DWTS and this show. The Hailey, in Hailey Idaho is too easy a clue.

Certainly too easy -- for us. The average schlub in America doesn't know who she is, let alone where she was raised.

or care !

Robin Thicke said he knew the snake clue pointed to LaToya because he used to jerk off to her snake Playboy centerfold.

The 🦁 is definitely getting voted off tonight. Then that would leave the 4 professional singers.

Then Monster and Pea Cock 🦚 will get voted out leaving the final 2 as 🐰 and 🐝!

It would be so embarrassing if Gladys Knight doesn’t win this. Imagine being beat in a singing competition by Tori Spelling or some boy bander!

R216 she said she watched exactly 1 episode before entering the BB house.

They want the Monster win. It's more fixed than I thought.

I had to LOL at the announcement that the lion is SUPERSTAR Rumer Willis. I mean, I like her, but superstar is a bit overkill.

[quote]Is LaToya still a virgin? Or was that another Jackson?

She was married to a very violent controlling guy.

"I had to LOL at the announcement that the lion is SUPERSTAR Rumer Willis. I mean, I like her, but superstar is a bit overkill."

Not to be a bitch, but I'm genuinely curious: Why do you like Rumer Willis? Has she done anything other than pose for photos and exploit her parents' fame?

She danced well on that other stupid show and she sang well on this stupid show. She may still show us all one of these days. And she has a nice vulnerable persona, not the brat I was expecting.

Agreed, R289, I was expecting to loathe her on “Dancing with the Stars” (don’t judge me for watching it, DL!) and was surprised at how likable she was. Worked really hard, and was appealing. Who knew?

Joey Fatone did a podcast and interviewed Robin Thicke and Donnie Wahlberg. He explained a few behind the scenes things. It was interesting.

And she earned her win.

Yeah, it was very impressive. Made me start rooting for her to find her place in the business. (It helps that both Demi Moore and, even more so, Bruce Willis were surprisingly nice to me when I met them on different occasions -- also not what I was expecting).

The finale was a let down.

I was genuinely happy for whoever it was that won.

Gladys and Donny don't really need the honor as much.

R294 it was ! It reminded me of Season 1 of Big Brother. You can tell the showrunner didn't think the show would do well. It felt filmed in a rush which is why I think the finale suffered. They shoulda had duets and group signing and all that. The singers shoulda performed at least 2 songs . Instead we get a 1 hour long journey to the finale thing which was cute , but also could have been done the week before. I just hope they plan this shit better in the future.

I was happy to say that I guessed most of the singers.

I HATE that dr. ken guy. he is such a douche. he's secretly gay. I used to be a stripper at Club 20 in nyc and he would come and get lapdances galore. He would walk out drenched in sweat. he's disgusting and fake.

He's like how Robin Williams was, always "on" . Just shut up and sit down.

They should stop with all the clues, we knew form their first appearances who most are. The entire fiorst song there should be no clues at all. What;s the point of a masked singer if we know who they are?

Sorry, still don't have a clue who T-Pain is.

he had two hit songs 12 years ago. He's pretty much responsible for bringing back autotune so aggressively.

R299 EXACTLY

R267 Donny looks HAWT in that pic!

Here's my question...

Did they know who each other were? Did Donny know it was Gladys?

If there would have been a duets episode, would they have to reveal themselves to the other contestant for rehearsals and whatnot?

I know they did a song or two as a group, but I think they each did separate lines and didn't really sing as a group or anything.

I am sort of proud of the fact that I was [r59] and got everyone right way back then!

I can't believe I have spent this much brainpower on this dumb show.

depressed to know that FOX will make this run a decade...

They claim they had no idea who each other was. They all wore those visors at all times in the studio even in rehearsals.

They really need to regroup and make a new batch every week or two, even if it's just 3 characters. The suspense was gone by the end and then some.

1) They were not allowed to talk to one another on set. Given their managers and agents all had to hid their faces and likely disguise their voices , I think none of them knew who the other celebs were. This doesn't mean people can't pull a Donnie /Marie situation and tell one another off camera but do u honestly think Tori Spelling is in the same circle as Joey Fatone, or Fatone with Latoya ? Probably not.

The audience had to sign NDA's so I believe the secrecy element was a legit one. From listening to Joey's podcast I believe they all tried to keep it a secret from the other celebs as well as the general public.

2) I think anyone who heard Gladys sing would have known it was her.

3) Not all people were around one another when they filmed their segments. So while The Lion was singing the Alien might not have been present , or while The Monster was singing the Rabbit may not have been present. etc.I think your theory about them signing lines that got added later is correct.

4) In the event of group /duet singing I think the "don't talk to each other" rule was in effect. That doesn't mean certain singers can't figure out who is who. Think about it , Joey Fatone denied he was on the show for weeks. Donny Osmund and Joey Fatone don't have super distinct voices, so it's not like they will guess one another form hearing each other sing.

I know people like to make fun of the judges reactions, but I was at a Mormon performance of Gladys Knight and god damn her voice is powerful. She sings effortlessly and it's sooooooooooo powerful like DAMN! This is why I think her signing I Can't Make You Love Me probably moved folks to tears.

Also I love Joey Fatone saying he was "clostah-phobic". His accent is all over the place up until that and you can hear that New York accent . Lol. He's so cute.

You know Miss Gladys Knight and Mister Donny Osmond are not dressing up in a costume and sweating their asses off week after week. It's just some dude in a costume moving around while their vocals are piped in. The only time the Stars show up is for the reveal. Fake Pandering BS

The show got really lame when it was obvious the judges knew the Bee was Gladys.
