Maked singer thread 3

[Caaarrrl]

Hi folks. New thread for next week.

Bye folks. See all you spelling champions and master recognisers of 80's celebrities' legs next week

I met Lenny Henry once. Him and Dawn French came to a small private firework display where I worked as a groom. Dawn was lovely and sat with us all Lenny stood about and seemed really shy. They doted on their daughter and he didn't take his eyes of her for a second. He is really tall and has amazing presence.

Morten is a thing of beauty at 61. He hasn’t lost his looks at all 😍

Morten Harket was so obvious- he even sang his own song last week

His voice is so recognisable!

Did the panel have to be purposely dense and not name him in any of their guesses?

Morten is way beyond all the panel, in terms of his talent, fame & success!

yy, I don't get their purposely dense thing either. I'd never watched it before tonight and got Henry in seconds.

Bit gutted Morten is out! Who in the studio voted dragon above Viking?

Well I'm laughing because DH said no big star would go on this show and there was Morten

Aston Merrygold was a judge on a dance show with one of Diversity (Ashley?) Davina was the host

Dragon definitely sounded like Sue Perkins tonight - now I think it's her so I'm going to watch her previous performances to see if they do too.

Morten Harket - very nice to look at but clearly dull and very serious, the interview was painful

Watched for the first time tonight.

Sausage sounds exactly like Sheridan Smith. Dh is a huge fan (and a vocal coach) & he reckons it’s her. There are just a couple of clues that don’t make sense.

He’s not a ‘big star’ really, though: he’s a ‘star’ in the memories of people of a certain age, and whilst he’s still touring he’s trading on past hits (don’t know about in Norway, where he might be more of a current celebrity).

There are loads of people on this thread who had no clue who he was. Like I said, if you knew of A-Ha back in the day he’s a notable name, but he still needs to remind people that he exists.

Lenny Henry is arguably a much bigger name, in the UK at least.

Morton’s still got it! I’ve loved him since I was 10 (I’ll be 44 next week!). The voice.... the smile.... lovely as ever!

Ooh,

“ Actually, Smith tells me, she and her fiance feel quite settled. Jamie Horn is not famous. He has a steady job in the City. He just took her on holiday in a camper van. “

Dragon= whoppi Goldberg 100%

OH has fallen out with me for swooning over Morten. He's still something quite stunning to look at and I very much still would!

Yes. Absolutely yes.

I was besotted with him when I was 11. And I think I still am.

Am I the only one who hadn't heard of Morton

He's stunning 😍

I'm convinced harlequin is Beverley Knight after the Prince reference.
Feeling smug as guessed Morton last week and dh laughed at me!

Until last summer I’d never heard of Ne Yo. Then I watched The Wiz live. He was amazing.

He’s not a ‘big star’ really, though
That's what DH tried to say but I disagree!

Could Sausage be Nikki Sanderson?

Not a regular viewer, but I watched tonight on +1 as I love Morten Harket more than I hate Rita Ora.

Could someone kindly explain to me what is the criteria for voting to unmask a singer? Is it because they think they know who it is or is because they think they are a shite singer?

In the minority but I loved Rita's hair. Would love mine to look like that.

On the other hand Davina definitely looked a sight in that bra and big knickers. I find her so annoying

You can. It's a wig
