Masked Singer 2022!

[Piggywaspushed]

Any of the Old (or New) Faithfuls up for a thread to watch some more compulsive nonsense?

This year's line up:

Lighting up the room with their performance, meet Chandelier

Bagpipes - the pride of Scotland will be hoping to hit the high notes (a clue in the costume??)

Hear them roar, it's Lionfish

Doughnuts looks like a sweet treat but will they run rings around everyone who tries to figure out who they are

Traffic Cone - they may be able to stop traffic in this high-vis high fashion costume

Bamboo-zling those who try to guess who’s behind the mask, meet Panda

Rockhopper will be making tweet music in a bid to peng-win

Hoping to go all the way and be crowned champignon, it's Mushroom

Bang! Here comes Firework

Poodle promises to deliver paw-some performances

This singer is snow joke, it's Snow Leopard

Is it a robot? Is it a bunny? No! It's Robobunny

Join in for some mad googling and guessing! Hopefully, I'll know who more of them actually are even with their masks off this year.

I think robobunny is a woman and I think it's Brenda Edwards

I'm sure firework is Tina O Brien aka Sarah Platt from Corrie. All of the others, not a clue!

@TinselAngel

Is Firework Sonia?

Firework is 100% the dreaded Sonia.

Slightly underwhelmed but I think it does take a week or two and the first clues are often tenuous at best!

Loved Robobunny though

Michael Ball did Eurovision

Are you me? We think that Michael Ball is Lionfish too. Sonorous voice, can sing, slightly camp.

I hoped that Firework would be Katy Perry !
..

I woke up this morning contradicting my own theory and wondering if Firework could be Samantha Fox.

I think Robobunny is definitely Mark from Westlife.

Sam Fox did have a few pop hits in the 80s
She had a nice voice.

Michael Ball doesn't have that body shape and sings considerably better : he voukd be undersinging admittedly. I'm up for the Eddie Izzard / Will Young theories at present.

What do you mean about body shape? 🤣

I'm not sure Eddie Izzard would want lots of people guessing he's a man.

@Pearcath

You will find it on ITV Hub. Also on again tonight at 7.30

Oh yes, I forgot about Eddie. Hmm. That does complicate that diagnosis. It isn't Michael Ball though. The person is very physically fit looking. Unless Ball has grown and got himself more into shape!

I agree about Rita. It's annoying how much she is forced upon us by the media!

She's been on X Factor, The Voice, Next Top model, and loads more! Despite this, I couldn't name you a single one of her songs or tell you what she stands for. As a singer, it just feels like she lacks identity and her management make up for that by putting her everywhere in order to make her a household name.

I'm not sure Eddie Izzard would want lots of people guessing he's a man.

Eddie Izzard has said many times over that he is happy to be referred to as he/him and she/her so I don't think he would mind too much

Lionfish has a full body suit on. Could be fat, thin. We wouldn't know

Ball played the Mum in Hairspray so has
Dragged up before

He wasn't impressed with his realistic portraits on Portrait Artist of the Year!

Just looked at pics of Lionfish ; more covered up than I remember I guess.

Eddie Izzard has said many times over that he is happy to be referred to as he/him and she/her so I don't think he would mind too much

Ah but when he was on PAOTY he was in "girl mode" so had to be referred to as she/her so I suppose it depends which mode he is in on the day.

Couldn't comment last night but here for the guesses and enjoying them greatly.

I wanted Firework to leave last night. I don't care much for the costume (I loved Chandelier's outfit though) and her voice was not great. I wish HS had not 'dumbed down' her voice because it's nice to be able to guess from the voice alone (as the clues are so obscure).

I don't mind them disguising their speaking voices but I like to be able to hear them sing properly (thank you previously Morten Harkett, for e.g.)

Was there a James Blunt guess for Lionfish? Possible? Barbs/Blunt. But the voice was too low I think. I thought maybe Hugo Speer who was in Skins (Spear/Barb....) But he is too obscure I think.

Ohh, Hugo spear!!
He is lush in ' the full Monty ' !

Oooh, Speer/Spear . I see what you did there. Don't think it's him though!

What was the Skins clue ? I missed it!

The clue on the clockface for Mushroom must have been a big clue but it is leading me nowhere.

Mushroom - Clodagh TV chef
Robobunny - footballer who used to play for QPR
Doughnut - footballer, DH says it’s Michael Owen
Lion fish - Craig Revell Horwood
Firework - Katy Perry - remember how literal Morten was last year?

Just caught up on last nights. After the total oddball clues (yes, I too am thinking 3-2-1!) I'm just going to disregard them I think!

The only name I'm willing to put forward at the moment is Kerry Katona for firework (it was the 'hello babs' at the start and the lighting up in a different way (atomic kitten).

Nah honestly, we are clueless!! Bring on round2
