Masked Singer Thread 4. Do We Nut Like him... There'll be fireworks if he doesn't rockhopper off tonight

[Piggywaspushed]

New thread for the guesses!

However, this is the first week that I am convinced Mushroom is Charlotte Church!! I paused it on the bit where it said to call 345997 - the numbers spell ‘eglwys’ on a phone keyboard which is the Welsh word for church (diolch, GCSE Welsh- knew it would come in handy for something!) Don’t know what the £22 referred to though. Also KK = CC? There’s no letter K in the Welsh alphabet so closest sound is C

The £22 if you look at 22 on the phone would also be CC[/quote]
Blimey that is some sleuthing!

@GrandTheftWalrus

Haha I didn't work that one but I worked it in 2018 and 2019. Glad I didn't work the 2020 one as half of it was cancelled and my workmates had fun explaining that to the queues. I was at the caravan show in Feb 2020 and we were talking about covid and we didn't think it would be that bad! Next time I was in the sec was April 2020 working at the temp hospital! Mad how things changed in less than 8 weeks!

Omg, yes, that was the shows after mine that were cancelled, I went on the Saturday afternoon. I was meant to see Lewis Capaldi in March, had a chest infection so gave the ticket to Dd. Still desperate to see LC!

I saw him in Ipswich when he was supporting Ed sheeran. So I registered to work his gig but had to cancel the shift, then as you know everything went to shit lol. I went to a gig at the pavilion on 8th March and was in the pub before and could barely drink my pint everyone was so close together then 11 days later they were all shut!

I actually thought I could hear Lisa stansfield in mushrooms singing this week.....

@mooncheese Of course! CC- makes total sense!

@TheSpottedZebra Haha- I partly have to thank DH for pausing it on the numbers and his immediate reaction was to get his phone out and look at what letters were on each number- I never would have thought to do that. He reckons he hates the show but he’s definitely just as invested as I am!

I was gonna try and get the number but dd was watching with me and she'd have moaned if I'd paused etc lol

@lampzade not sure if you are on this thread but just wanted to reply to your message from previous one! Yes I did realise that people here meant the other Michelle Williams but then surely the greatest showman or Spider-Man clues don’t make sense? Obviously trying to throw us off the scent I don’t know much about her but did see the numerals on the back of jacket which are super bowl which they did! It must be DC MW. I just don’t get some of the clues. I know they explain some but I wish they went through them all at the end.

@LookItsMeAgain

I think Rockhopper is Martine McCutcheon.

She was on it last year so it won't be her.

The TGS clues for Michelle Penguilliams don't just refer to the movie and her name-sharing but also a solo single of hers, 'The Greatest'. Like we'd all know that...her solo career flopped this side of the pond.

This is irrelevant now but anyway. I've just mashed my brain realising that The Greatest Showman clues in Rockhopper's first VT could equally have applied if it had been Rebecca Ferguson of The X Factor fame behind the mask. Add to that Rebecca Ferguson the actress in TGS is Swedish, so Rockhopper's fake Swedish accent would have been an allusion to that name.

Rockhopper is very very slim. Tall and slim. I've just seen rebecca Ferguson perform and she has a different physique. The same for martine mccutcheon.

So interested that everyone's still thinking Mark for robobunny. I was convinced until this week - if it's him then I had no idea he could sing like that (teenage obsession with Westlife!), would love it to be him though!

I'm just in awe that people here guess right, I would have no idea.

Although I did guess Kelis right in an earlier series.

I was sure Robobunny was Mark Feehily until this week, now I'm not sure. It sounded deeper and more operatic this week. It could be him disguising his voice but I prefer Mark's normal singing voice that what I heard this week

@WitchWithoutChips I think Aled Jones too for Traffic Cone however my other guess was Russell Watson pretending to be Aled Jones

Mushroom - Jane Horrocks is a good shout, she is definitely a good enough singer.

I was sure Firework was Hayley Tamaddon so clearly my guesses aren't great. I thought Michael Owen at first then thought he doesn't seem like he would be that confident so I thought I'd got that one wrong.

I'm pretty sure that Rockhopper is Aleisha Dixon.
In the clues this week she had a shopping bag that said Cowell (link to Simon, BGT), something about ice skating (she was on dancing on ice), and a mention of Antarctica (her daughters middle name). Plus the physique and legs are very similar.

I could be well off though...I was convinced Firework was Chelsee Healey.

@FolornLawn

Do the panel get told in their earpieces who it is when the mask comes off? It would be mortifying for nobody to know who you are when you've sweated your bollocks off inside a costume.

I think Joel said that he gets told via earpiece in the seconds before the mask comes off. He admitted that he hadn't known who Alan Johnson was in the first series.

Robobunny, I swing between Mark Feehily and Josh Groban.

Who's josh groban? I think I recognise the name. Thanos?

Traffic cone is really bugging me because he has a lisp when he sings! It’s not Aled or Rob Brydon.

Josh Groban is an American singer and actor. Got his big break standing in for Andrea Bocelli. His most well-known song is probably "You raise me up".

@SantaHat

There's no lisp - pretty sure this was mentioned last week. It is definitely Aled.

My husband is convinced traffic cone is Nigel Owens. He can sing and a lot of the clues fit, though not all do, and I'm not sure if he's the right "level" for this show.

There's no lisp - pretty sure this was mentioned last week. It is definitely Aled.

Lol well that’s me told then 🤣🤣

There's no "definitely" until the mask comes off, surely?

I'm thinking of josh grolin who was in the goonies

Ah come on, it was definitely Michael Owen as Doughnuts for weeks before the mask came off.

Sorry SantaHat. I don't hear a list at all. He very clearly enunciates and that's often a sign of someone classically trained/former chorister.

Lisp not list!
