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'm going Michael ball for hedgehog and the true clue being the high heels as he was playing Edna Turnblad in Hairspray. It didn't help last night that DH kept talking over everything so I kept missing the clues!

I’m undecided on hedgehog. Seeing as the two reveals already have been pretty Z list, I think Michael Ball is more B list.

I’m totally sold on unicorn being Jake Shears.

Duck is definitely Skin. I recognised her voice straight away. Didn’t recognise her last week because she was singing badly on purpose, but she’s so distinctive it can’t be anyone but her.

Whoever said Rhydian from X factor for Hedgehog is probably bang on the money. He would be at the right level of stardom I think

I think Nicola Roberts too. I think she’s trying to relaunch her career now that she’s able to put her abusive, stalker ex-boyfriend behind her. She’s going to be in a West End show soon I think?

Jake Shears was also in London / U.K. in September so if it was filmed then, that fits too. I think it could definitely be him.

I think it was filmed in September yes

See

I'm not watching this at all, just the MumsNet thread. Is the Hedgehog the one who "died every night at 8:30" but "has a Welsh accent"? If so, I'd go with Rhydian as he's Welsh but also his character died in War of the Worlds ...

DH accidentally switched on to this, and called me in to watch the surreal spectacle of a duck singing Ave Maria..... we giggled hysterically for a bit, but decided we're not in for the long haul.
The chameleon costume is quite beautiful.

I think Duck could be Paula Radcliffe. She said she was a long-distance runner and she has a degree in modern languages I think?

Not read the whole thread so not sure if this has been suggested already but I think Hedgehog is Rob Brydon.

I said that about Paula but she didn't really fit any of the 2 lies one truth clues.

I suggested on one of these threads that Hedgehog is Rob Brydon Panda so I agree with you! He enjoys singing as the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special showed. I'm not sure about Duck - the clues fit Paula Radcliffe who did languages and economics at Loughborough, but the voice didn't sound right when she was singing Ave Maria (which was surreal).

People really need to let go of Paula Radcliffe

It’s Skin. The voice sounds just like her.

Just discovered this and I'm already obsessed! Watching from episode one.

Duck said she liked surfing - skin is famous for her crowdsurfing. And sounds exactly like her too.

Really stumped on Queen Bee. Joker in the pack, what's the significance of that?

I watched ten mins of the first episode, sneered at it and vowed I would never watch again..
However became strangely hooked on this thread and enjoyed reading everyone's guesses...
I of course had to watch this week!
Reading this whilst watching really helped to make it fun and I really enjoyed it(so did my 5 year old lol)
Looking forward to seeing the other singers now.
I wouldn't have guessed Justin but once it was mentioned on here it became so obvious especially so when he was singing True Colors

Just caught up on last night so without looking back on the thread just yet.

Unicorn - no idea they are making Barrowman to obvious so I'm off him plus he was born in Glasgow wasn't he? Not on an island.

Queen bee is Nicole Roberts 100% she was active about tanning and one of her songs is beat of my drum and she's walked in fashion shows

Duck is skin from annualised and sunk, sang to Nelson Mandela and (according to google) is a judge on the Italian voice.

Hedgehog I still think Jason Manford his in curtains the musics at the moment he did Sweeney Todd for the last clue and the cats he was on 8 out of 10 cats

I think the flaw with this format apart from the judges being ridiculous is I can see people getting bored not sure how long they are planning the run for but with google and the relatively small list of people that would be willing to go on out I think guessing could get a little boring but maybe I'm wrong.

Well done all those who recognised Justin Hawkins after one outing.

Just caught up with thread Jake Shears for unicorn great shout fits all the clues and has that falsetto voice.

Interesting to see how many people are thinking the same and even for those more questionable ones everyone pretty much seems to be between 2-3 I can't see any major surprises in any of these reveals.

I agree there's a risk it will get boring. Hopefully there will be some twists to keep it interesting.

I hope that the judges will be allowed to get a few guesses right, otherwise it just looks a bit fake. I think Davina especially would know duck is skin. I can't believe she doesn't.

I still don't get how the reveals work the audience are definitely there for the reveal you see their reactions but no spoilers that's strange. Strictly can't go 24hrs without it leaking.

I'm on ep two now. Tree: my immediate thought was Ronnie O'Sullivan based on the voice. Def sportsman but not necessarily football - football hints might be a red herring?

@itswinertime, the D Mail had a double page spread on the show y'day, it was filmed last year and the audience signed a non disclosure agreement. I can't work out if it was filmed before or after Joel Dommett was in Oz for I'm a celeb Extra Camp so either October or December.

It is always the same girl in the audience we see in the reveal so it's not a genuine reaction shot...

I already know pharoah is Alan Johnson but I think I definitely would have guessed home. They laid the class es on so thickly, prob because they thought no one would know who he was.

*clues

@Frostyskies1223 thank you did they say if different audience each time? I guess that way you would only know one I'm still impressed no one has blabbered it's pretty easy to be anonymous on Twitter. I'm glad they haven't leaked it's nice to have something spoiler free for a change.

Def Skin but I only got her last night as last week it wasn’t so clear. Before I mentioned it on here last night I checked wiki and she has performed with David Bowie too so def her.
