Masked singer thread 2

[Caaarrrl]

Sorry, couldn't think of a catchy title in the emergency of needing a new thread!

Sorry I have only just watched it! Had to wait for DD to get in from work.

Didn't want to come on and get any spoilers.

www.smoothradio.com/features/a-ha-live-acoustic-take-on-me-cover-video/ Viking was singing his own acoustic version of his own song!

I've started new thread but still don't know how to link it on android app. New phone and I'm a bit thick. 🤪

Blob is 100% David Williams..

After the song he said “I’ve defo got talent” .. DW is a Britain’s got talent judge

On the lockers it said Matt Lucas and Andy. DW did little Britain with ML and Andy was a character.

Thankfully for the link sunbird .

I really need to learn to do it myself!

Lenny Henry famously got his big tv break on a talent show (New Faces, iirc)

Me and my partner are convinced the blob is Lenny Henry. He was named after the doctor who delivered him and the song choice tonight about hotels! Big premier inn clue.

It's definitely Lenny. He's just having a laugh with it - joyous.

@SendHelp30 not DW. Unless he's turned into Lenny Henry and then it might be

The 'got talent' reference is because that's how he got his big break. And he's linked to premier inns - hence the song

My current thoughts:
Blob- Lenny Henry 100%
Harlequin- Gabrielle
Robin- Aston Merrygold 100%
Sausage- Megan McKenna/ Stacey Soloman... not certain yet. Definitely someone from Essex though

Nah - Sausage is Sheridan Smith. She's an actor and the hint of an Essex accent last night was put on. Plus some of the moves were very reminiscent of her as Ruby rapping in Gavin and Stacey.

Sausage is 100% Stacey Soloman, no doubt about it.
Badger really does sound exactly like Ne-Yo but I’m not sure whether the clues fit.
Blob defo Lenny Henry, not sure why he is still in he doesn’t really sing the songs just speaks them
Robin Aston
Harlequin Gabrielle

Badger has a definite wesr midlands twang so I can't see how it would be Ne yo. I think maybe about Mike Skinner from the Streets. He has done virtual reality tour, he is a DJ (dancing), the poetry and you wouldn't know him if you felll over him, reference in the song to sidewalks. No idea really though!

Now thin dragon must be Courtney Act because winged costume on Drag Race apparently.

For those who think Viking isn't Morten Harket

Could Dragon be Dr Ranj??

@Elderflower14 thanks for the link, he really is a beautiful man.

I love the show and the guess work but the panel are so annoying and the worst bit of the show.

Last night was so ridiculous - they had Morten Harket standing there in a mask singing a Morten Harket song without disguising his voice in the slightest. They were basically at an Aha concert and they are saying oh this is sooooo difficult. Ben Adams from A1 maybe?

@Gemma2019

That's so true! Viking is blinking Morten Harket...it's so ridiculous non of the judges mentioned him!

The panel must have been told who they’re not allowed to guess, surely- bollox to all the “we wear masks in the corridors crap!”

I had to laugh on last night's show when one of the judges suggested that Harlequin might be Grace Jones. It was so out there, I can't imagine she would be up for pulling on a mask on a Saturday night family entertainment show.

Also, no offence to the celebs who do participate but I don't think there would be any proper A Listers up there and there certainly won't be anyone based outside of the UK given the travel restrictions.

The Grace Jones comment made me laugh, especially as it's obviously Gabrielle singing in her normal voice and them all pretending they don't know.

It's like when they suggested someone the other week could be Adele or Celine Dion. Yeah I'm sure neither of those multimillionaires have anything better to do than provide the UK with Sunday evening entertainment in a mask.

That's exactly it!

One of them suggested that Swan could be Idina Menzel and I really giggled at that. Idina Menzel: Tony Award winning, darling of Broadway, international musical superstar. Yup, she'll be needing to sweat her pants off under a big costume every Saturday night ! (Not to mention the fact, as lovely as Martine M's voice is, it isn't a patch on Idina!)
