Thanks to tinsel for thread title inspiration!

We seem to have all our guesses tied up now but come along anyway to declare that Piranha is Sheridan Smith, Cricket is Lisa Stansfield and Big Foot is 10000000% Alex Brooker. Oh . Wait.

You think Cricket is Lisa Stanfield?

Piggywaspushed · 11/02/2024 08:39

Or Shane Ritchie.

No, definitely Lulu. And Gabrielle (one in each leg).

Figgygal · 11/02/2024 09:24

If I've learnt anything from the show its that I'm totally shit at clues
To echo others on previous thread how is big foot still there 🙄

Don't worry- it's a long standing joke Grin

ilovepixie · 11/02/2024 09:54

I've never watched it but do you not recognise the singers voices? Or are they distorted?

Raahh · 11/02/2024 10:00

(I really was hoping, secretly, that Eiffel Tower would be revealed to be Sheridan though, just for a laugh). Grin

One day....

I do hope, for the sake of Tinsels blood pressure people take heed of the thread title Grin

I still haven't worked out the voting sytem though. it's not a bunch of 5 year olds in the audience, is it? so I'm not that convinced that it's the costume that is keeping Alex in? (and it's not that cute!).

I've decided the voting doesn't matter. The people taking part don't care, they are having a blast- no-one takes the mask off and appears pissed off at getting guessed. It's all good fun. Everyone enjoys themselves.

(And we've not even got Starstruck and the Wigs to look forward to when it finishes Sad).

Piggywaspushed · 11/02/2024 10:49

Loads of children in the audience. You could hear them when Bigfoot went through!

I am honoured!

I've always assumed the studio vote is a fiction and it's all fixed.

Raahh · 11/02/2024 11:10

Piggy I still don't get it Grin.

I do wonder how different the voting would be if it was a weekly online/phone vote though. (I know it wouldn't work on a pre recorded series.)

Would it be a favourite costume/ personality thing-- or would it be a singing competition after all?Grin.

That is kind of my view- although I vaguely remember audience members with buttons to press. But I think that was a different show! Grin

DaffodilCharm · 11/02/2024 11:28

They show them pressing buttons. I don’t think you can fix it to the extent people want to believe. I would absolutely have voted for Big Foot over Eiffel Tower or Air Fryer, he is just much more entertaining. The costumes make a huge difference, Air Fryer and Eiffel Tower costumes are too big to do a proper performance in. They couldn’t really dance or anything. So all there is is a good voice, which is fine but we’re a bunch of performances in and I’m bored of your voice now.

Also song choice, I think people are more likely to vote for a song they know and like and they can sing along to.

IGotItFromAgnes · 11/02/2024 11:31

I think it would be quite easy to fix in the earlier stages when the judges decide who to save - and I think it has been fairly obviously fixed on a couple of occasions this season (Dionne Warwick and Julia Sawalha)

Raahh · 11/02/2024 11:32

Daffodil thank you! I wasn't sure if I dreamt the buttons Grin.

I think that's why I like Piranha-I feel like he really performs Grin

oh- Jennifer just happening to be there when Julia was unmasked? That was definitely not a coincidence Grin.

I just saw on Twitter than Danny from McFly has a public Spotify playlist called "MS" with all his Masked Singer songs on it (that presumably he thought was private).

Thanks for the thread 🙂

Piggywaspushed · 11/02/2024 14:33

I'd already forgotten about Julia Sawalha.

Good answer for future rounds of Pointless.

Song choice and costume same as Glitterball
Xander Armstrong would have been in longer had he not done Under the bridge
The people taking part don't care Bloody Lulu might have Wink To be honest, there was a big build up to a big nothing, because I watched the show with my grandchildren and I was on and off in a few seconds. For God’s sake!

I'm not sure I do get it - Morten Harket was obvious but stayed in ages whereas Sophie went week one. Will Young was fairly obvious but had the most beautiful costume. I know they're meant to disguise their voice but it must be hard on the ego for a proper singer not to give it full welly.

posiepawprint · 11/02/2024 15:07

There's no voting

It's all pretend

GrandTheftWalrus · 11/02/2024 15:27

Peacemaking!

NoisyBrain · 11/02/2024 15:36

Placemarking for next weekend! Love the thread title 😉

RestingPassportFace · 11/02/2024 17:08

So how is the order of elimination/wages sorted then?
Very few, Dionne aside, are only going to want one week.
Most will want the PR/ego boost that comes with making the later stages
Are they all paid the same fee or do ones that make the semis and final get paid more?
