The Masked Singer

[MrsMidgeMaisel]

Anyone else going to watch this? It looks fabulously weird but I've watched some clips of the one in the states. They have had some quite high calibre singers / stars so I have high hopes

I am absolutely certain that the tree is Peter Crouch. He talks the exact same way and sounded like him singing!

Also John Barrowman as the Unicorn was one of them most obvious things ever. I could have guessed he’d be jumping at this this show in a heartbeat. And of course he’s a flippin unicorn 😂 love him!

Not a bloody clue who anyone else is though 🤔

The show is absolutely batshit but I love it.

Could Hedgehog be Rhydian Roberts? I saw someone guess him on Twitter and he seems to fit. The voice sounds like his, he's on stage a lot, apparently he was in a show where he died early on each night, he mentioned 'The Show Must Go On' and there's several videos of him singing that on YouTube. I've also seen a few people say Hedgehog has a Welsh accent, and Rhydian is Welsh.

And Queen Bee is 100% Nicola Roberts. I recognised her voice just from the two second clip in the advert for the show (big Girls Aloud fan). And she was 16 when she joined Girls Aloud, she's a pop 'princess' turned queen, she was the 'wild card' on Popstars The Rivals (only making it onto the live shows when another girl quit), 'joker of the pack' could be a reference to Girls Aloud being 'leaders of the pack' (lyrics from Something New).

I thought Hedgehog could be Rufus Hound, he's done plenty of stage stuff and has also said he'd rather be on the stage now (which would tie in with the happiest on the stage comment).

Am I mistaken in thinking Denise Van Outen has been in a west end musical at some point?

I think Octopus has a beautiful trained voice. Has to be famous to so possibly Idina Menzal or Catherine Jenkins. Poss Charlotte Church.

Yes I just googled it, Chicago.

@crystal1717 I thought idina menzel but surely not?!

I also thought Carline Flack for daisy but unless it was recorded a while back, probably not!

If it was Idina Menzel you would know. She's one of the best singers in the world.

It sounded nothing like Idina Menzel.

Just watched it was most bizarre but loved it! Not knowing who they r is going to bug me!

I'm watching it just now.

Still think unicorn is john barrowman.

Its gonna annoy me though not knowing who they are.

Octopus did sound musical theatre trained. I AM going to go back and get all the clues

A few of the old xfactor contestants went on to do musical theatre. It wouldn't surprise me if octopus was from that kind of show and the fashion link is a bit of a read herring in that it will be the title of a song or linked to a show they were in or something.

Thought the Octopus was fab! No clue who anyone is - when do they all become unmasked?

I thought Queen Bee could be Emelia Clarke.

She wanted to be Queen of the Iron Throne.
She wore Bee stripey tights in Me Before You.
She can sing.

I suppose it's a bit of a stretch as she's probably a bit too A-list now for this type of shite.

I think Daisy sounds like Meghan Trainor and as she's on the Voice, there's a chance it could be her, but I doubt any other potential A, B or C-listers would appear on this show! Z-listers only!

I think Octopus could be Nicole Sherzinger. Unicorn has to be John Barrowman. I thought Tree was Harry (can't remember his last name) football manager, until he said he's doing it for his children. Could be David Beckham but I'm not convinced. Queen Bee is obviously a singer. I would guess at one of the girls from Girls Aloud or Little Mix - I'm going with Nicola Roberts. Duck may be Kelly Holmes. Hedgehog Michael Macintyre. As for the rest I couldn't even hazard a guess!

It's a weird show but I love it

Duck is Skin from Skunk Anansie. I'm lying awake at 2am thinking about this stupid bloody show.

How does the show progress? Is it going to be just Saturday nights from now on? Is that all 12 costumes or are there more to come? Frankly I'm astonished that the identities are managing to be kept secret with no spoilers! Are all the shows already in the can, were they done in a relatviely short condensed space of time? Tere's no public vote, is there, so it's not live?

It was filmed in September.

A lot of people on Twitter think the Unicorn is Justin's Hawkins (The Darkness), I thought it could also be someone like MIKA? But it does also sound like John Barrowman..

@SegregateMumBev that's am of them, so presumably will be 5 battles then 4 etc til the last one is unmasked as the winner

Peter Crouch has tweeted and said he is not a singing tree. I think the tree is Wayne Bridge or Paul Merson.
