Masked Singer Thread 3 : our guesses move at a Snail's pace as we beat about our Bush.

[Piggywaspushed]

Here's another thread to sink our Teeth into!

'It's not a singing competition'. Unless you want it to be.

Hold On is by a family group, Wilson Phillips. Could that be the tenuous clue?

I think Pufferfish is Gwen Stefani. My tenuous reasons: Dd said the pink powder puff was from Clueless which has ‘Just a Girl’ on soundtrack. The singing rubber chicken thing on tik tok covered ‘Don’t Speak’ which is why she was squishing the annoying chicken. Her brother was in her band (runs in family) and also something to do with the Simpsons (ay carumba). She has a song with ‘bouquet’ in the title (the bouquet of flowers) and also one about spiderwebs (rubber spider).

Yes, I think that 'family bands' / named after surnames in the connection there.

I know everyone thinks Bush is Natalie Cassiday, but has anyone considered Lesley Nicol - Mrs Patmore off Downton Abbey?

She was in the original cast of the musical Our House and has done a lot of musicals, although it is surprisingly difficult to find clips of her singing.

Our House being the clue song last night obvs

As another 'family' link/Irish singer- BWitched reformed a few years back - and the song they covered apparently was
'Hold On'. There are twins in BWitched .
(They also had a song called Jesse Hold On).

That's tenuous enough for this show .

I don't actually think it's any of them, but I'm at the stage of googling all sorts of stuff and seeing if it fits.

(sorry about all the italics- darned asterix).

Andrea Corr played Sharon in The Commitments - a name close to home i.e. her sister's name.

I thought Snail was Cheryl though

Snail is *100% Andrea Corr - the voice, the way she stands, mannerisms etc.

Bush is *100% Natalie Cassidy - she virtually spoke the entire song in her normal voice last night.

*100%, in my opinion only.

Bush deffo Nat Cass. You could hear her quite clearly. Kingfisher is Harry Hill, ditto.

Yes agree that Kingfisher is Harry Hill although I could have sworn he's already done it.

Could Bear be Richard Blackwood or Shane Ritchie…

The rapping last week could only have been someone who knows how to rap.

Love Mel G. Her final performance was so funny. I saw her in Starter For 10 recently & she was so good!

Was it on tonight?

Wolf 100% David Essex.

He's a massive Wolverhampton wanderers fan.

One of the answers to clue was Cook - his real surname.

Last nights song Candyman - album called Candy.

First song her sung was a DAVID Bowie.

Second song was Cococobana which beat him in the charts in 1978 (I think).

Give me any other of the clues for him and I'll prove it.

'More soap opera than fairytale' - Eastenders

He played The Artillery man in war of the worlds - hence the outfit wolf has.

Three little pigs reference - deleted TOtP episode from 1974 where Paul McCartney and wings decided to gate crash Essex's performance. Wings were performing 'juniors FARM'. ... ok I am clutching now....

Puffer - Kim Walsh

Bush - Natalie Cassidy

Bear - Richard Armitage (ok I admit I've lost the plot here, in true judges style I thought it was Richard Blackwood, then I had doubts so I've gone for another Richard).

Kingfisher - I want to say Joe Swash but I actually think it's Giles Brandweth just from initial song.

Except it sounds nothing like David Essex and sounds exactly like Marti Pellow.

Much as I love David Essex.

Snail - Jenna Coleman

@RainbowZebraWarrior small minor detail 🤣

I agree that Kingfisher sounds massively like Harry Hill but in the first week, one of the clues for him was literally 'Harry' written down- surely he's too obvious?!

I got confused with Kim Woodburn then and thought you'd gone completely insane.

I was thinking: one year they should actually have Mary Berry as one of the singers to shut JR up

Definitely!

I assume it wasn't on last night as I can't find it on demand and it wasn't recorded?
