Maked singer thread 3

[Caaarrrl]

Hi folks. New thread for next week.

Is Penn from Penn and Teller?

No he's the young handsome guy off Gossip Girl and Netflix's You.

The "virtual world" clue might work as well as he started his career doing video game voiceovers apparently (Mario Golf 64 and Mario Tennis 64).

I can't get any of the second weeks clues to work though so maybe not...

"I'm good at dodging furniture."

"When working, I'm often found in green."

"Strictly speaking, dancing is something I'm well known for."

I think his wife had a baby last summer too so ignore me. It was a nice theory for a moment!

I do not know who Ne Yo is. (I am better at old skool celebs like Spice Girls and Glen Hoddle). However, the mouse in the house clue was bugging me so I googled and found this:

"The singer and part-time actor recently recorded a song for the House of Mouse's New Orleans-set animated fairy tale"

Sounds pretty conclusive?

My predictions are

Harlequin macy gray
Dragon Charlotte church
Sausage Sheridan smith
Badger Carl fogerty??
Viking jerome Flynn

I dunno. He also made a reference to being on "cloud 9" for having flummoxed the judges, and Cloud 9 is a 2017 Jamiroquai song apparently.

I think the clues are clearly pointing to NeYo but which of the 3 clues given last week (posted below) was the truth as none of them seem to fit him

Wild guess at Badger being Nicky Clarke the hairdresser.

Cloud 9 straighteners and the clues 'creative' and 'well groomed'.

Totally reaching though!

I thought the 'when working I'm often found in green' could be a ref to someone who is animated so wears a green suit (so like the earlier guess of Andy Serkis). But equally, Neyo (who I now know more rather more about then I ever knew before!) has performed on/or perhaps is a judge on? Dancing with the Stars - so the strictly ref?

Dunno. But it's fun guessing.

I feel like the truth is always the vaguest one so I'm leaning towards: "When working, I'm often found in green."

I was trying to look up who had been Shrek in the musical as that's the kind of thing that would fit with that clue, but nobody famous.

I think it could be NeYo but I feel like he's not really recognisable enough. I know there was that clue about not being recognised, but I feel like that would be something more like the fact that nobody recognises Jay Kay without his big hat, rather than it being somebody not that famous IYSWIM.

Kindly Yes, Ne-Yo is a judge on a dance show, with Jennifer Lopez. 'World of Dance' so that could fit.

I have also discovered all sorts of things about celebrities I was only previously vaguely aware of, googling things for this show .

I guess the dodging furniture was to lead people to jay kay and maybe the green clue leading towards will young (evergreen), but I don't think badger sounds like either.

Raahh ha, yes, if nothing else, thanks to this thread I am now aware of Morten's beautiful rendition of TOM on the Youtube. Appreciate that hugely!

kindly

I still say the 'not being recognised' is alluding to the fact that he played tin man in a Wizard of Oz stage production in full metal suit and the metal face paint. In one clip they showed the oil can.

Which also could link to the being in green given the colour link to Wizard of Oz

Ok, so here's a curve ball - going with the Tin Man clue. Roger Daltrey played the tin man in a movie.
He also played a leprechaun king (so Green.)
No one knows WHO he is...
The Who did a series of virtual concerts over lockdown......
He did a children's song about a mouse....

That's it. I've convinced myself.
Badger is ... Roger Daltrey...

I really couldn't hear Ne yo with Badger
So, I've just listened to some acoustic live songs on YouTube of him singing covers, so I can properly hear his voice when he's singing other people's songs (Nick Jonas-Jealous, Ed Sheeran -Thinking out loud) then straight after put Badger on singing Feeling good.

I'm now 100% convinced it's definitely Badger

Welcome to the club

I need to join that club!
Just listened to Ne yo singing the Ed Sheeran song, then listened to a clip of Badger preforming" Feeling Good" and I am sold!!!
I want Badger to win he has been my Fave from the start.
I only know Ne yo for the song Closer.

Omg, yes! Just listened to the acoustic covers and then the first 2 Badger performances - voice is EXACTLY the same! I'm in the NeYo club now

I just watched his cover of Thinking Out Loud - it was beautiful and given he's singing to a British audience I wouldn't be surprised if this a badger song coming up. I need to get out more!

Actually green could be a reference to the beautiful song he did for the theme to Princess and the Frog
