The masked singer/dancer is awful

Yes I know I can turn over.

But it's just such OTT American crap.

All the chanting of "get it off" and standing and copying the dancing and all the really over the top judge has-beens.

It's painful, cringeworthy, bottom of the barrel shite.

Thank you for listening. I'm off to watch netflix.

I hear you. Awful rubbish.

toffeebutterpopcorn · 04/06/2021 20:24

I just got a text message from my sister ‘what in the name of all that’s holy is this???’. And she enjoys musicals....

maskface212 · 04/06/2021 20:25

I watched a minute of it. Someone dancing slowly to some shit music while people gurned and fist punched the air. 'Yeah! whooo hoo! Yeah!' Still having flashbacks, it should have a warning at the beginning.

Concestor · 04/06/2021 20:25

Agreed. I watched part of one episode of the singing one and had to turn over. It was awful and not even entertaining.

Purpleweeks · 04/06/2021 20:25

The dancer one seems particularly pointless

Lampzade · 04/06/2021 20:26

It’s trash, but I love it.
Watching it with my kids. They love it

Sparklingbrook · 04/06/2021 20:26

I think it's great. Family show where everyone can try and guess who the dancers are.

Harmless nonsense IMO.

Keepyourdistance000 · 04/06/2021 20:26

DH loves it. I've left him downstairs to watch it.

randomkey123 · 04/06/2021 20:27

We watched about 3 minutes before DH said "what the hell is this shit".

How on earth did this get made?!? They can't even dance............

This should say

"DH loves it. I've left him."

Some of them can dance, some of them can't. That's the point. Grin You have to guess.

I thought everything that people had said above about the Masked Singer last year when I first watched it, but got into it.

It's not a talent show. It's a guessing show.

It's not my thing, but some people don't seem to grasp the basic concept of these shows.

Sparklingbrook · 04/06/2021 20:38

It does seem the people moaning about it haven't actually watched much of it. Grin
Is there something more high brow on the Beeb tonight?

Roussette · 04/06/2021 20:41

Lowest common denominator of absolute crap telly. I cannot believe this has been on every night.

It's dire. It gives me the rage big time.

Ilovemaisie · 04/06/2021 20:41

I saw part of an episode the other day because I am at my mother in law's and she will frequently put ITV shite on because "there's nothing else on".
This was the ultimate shite. It was just boring and quite frankly embarrassing. I would rather just watch a decent dance performance by professional dancers. I came across some videos on YouTube of Riverdance (remember that) and the Russian Youth Dancers (I think) doing a performance of Kalinka. Now they were fricking amazing dance performances. Proper professional performances by some incredibly talented people.

There's so much worse. I's rather watch this than TOWIE, Made in Chelsea etc and that sort of rubbish.

It finishes tomorrow I think so everyone can unclench then.

BlueButtercups · 04/06/2021 20:45

Dreadful show

MsLumley · 04/06/2021 20:45

Agree - absolute guff.

Sparklingbrook · 04/06/2021 20:47

Would I Lie to you followed by Have I Got News for You is on BBC1 right now if anyone's massively struggling with this...

Or Celebrity Gogglebox at 9 on C4?

NavalGazer · 04/06/2021 20:47

I confess to liking the singer in a wtf am I watching - but I have to record it as it’s awful live!

sashagabadon · 04/06/2021 20:51

The dancing one is a bit silly but the singing one is great.

Mayvis · 04/06/2021 20:56

We’ve really enjoyed it as a family show. We want Car Wash to win.

Roussette · 04/06/2021 20:58

@Sparklingbrook

True! There is worse!

Justjoinedforthis · 04/06/2021 20:58

I like it, it feels like we are living in a Black Mirror episode
