The Masked Singer Season 3

Good Housekeeping?!

Can't believe possibly the most cheesiest show ever on TV gets no love/hate here.

I agree, this should be like DL catnip.

I initially thought it was Dwayne Johnson but people on the internet are going with Jamie Foxx and say that it's Rob Gronkowski.

The only guess I have so far is Chaka Khan for the Lady Monster. It sounds like her.

Gronk

White Tiger = gronk Monster = Chaka Llama = Drew Carey Turtle = Jesse McCartney Kangaroo = Jordin Sparks

YIL Lil Wayne needs to deep condition

Ugh. Let me try this again...

White Tiger = gronk

Monster = Chaka

Llama = Drew Carey

Turtle = Jesse McCartney

Kangaroo = Jordin Sparks

And YIL Lil Wayne needs to deep condition.

I don't think the kangaroo is Jordan Sparks.

This show is mindless fun and I love it.

Monster=Chaka is my only guess.

Kangaroo could be Iggy Azeala

....

Giving away too many clues this early Llama definitely Bonaduce.

Chaka? Chaka who? Chaka Khan? Chaka Zulu?

Kangaroo...Lee Ann Rhimes?

White tiger=Von Miller of the Denver Broncos. Didn’t you see the clue with the horse?

Llama was Drew Carey

Llama was Drew Carey

Episode 1 &2 were actual real surprises as opposed to the entire first two seasons.

Oh fuck this show, it's a singing competition and they are keeping the asshole Gronk on.

I find it boring. My SIL LOVES it.

Kangaroo might be Sia.

They throw off Chaka for a guy who may be the worst singer. If they keep putting him thru, I'll give it up.

Can’t believe Chaka Khan was sent home and that horrible White Tiger (possibly the worst they’ve had on the show) keeps getting through. Why would anyone vote for him to stay? The only thing lore embarrassing than his lame song choices are his attempts at rapping.

I get the feeling Chaka (and others) ask to go home when they are ready. She didn't seem to enjoy being under that giant hot head much. She almost looked anxious her first time out.

Were it a true singing competition, Chaka would be going nowhere. Speaking of... now I am more convinced than ever that there is big time sweetening going on, that the performances are pre-recorded. I heard Jesse Mc, cute as he may be, sing live once and it was embarrassing. Like tone deaf. Not even close to what he did on his recording -- or is doing now on the show.

They are playing stupid...Mouse id definitively Dionne Warwick.

That Kitty outfit is pretty impressive. They need to create the creators. It's a big part of the charm for sure.

(Anyone else notice there is never a fumble or forgotten lyric or improvised bit in any performance? Ever? HAS to be pre-recorded though I, too, want to be believe it is live).

Kitty is Vanessa Hudgens, Mouse is Dionne Warwick...I mean duh.

No shade OP : why do you (or anyone here) watch this? Is it just a junk TV choice or is there something else making you watch? I caught one episode & didn’t get it. Also I’m not above it: Years ago Marsha Brady, Bobby Brown & the large wilson phillips did a horrible show - they opened a B & B - and i didn’t miss an episode.

It is fun to hear the panel of has beens make outrageous guesses. ":It could be Lady Gaga or Madonna:" Oh look it is Flo from the Progressive commercials!

Junk TV can be fun, trying to guess and then someone like Dionne Warwick shows up even Marlee Matlin could tell and watch the fool judges coming up with everyone but. I have zero interest The Bachelor or The Kardashians, this is just harmless silliness for me.

R30 the episode i watched had Dr Drew (i think that’s his name) get booted. What threw me was that he wasn’t a pop star. I thought they were all singers. I’ll try it again

No rules about singers

[quote] Can't believe possibly the most cheesiest show ever on TV gets no love/hate here.

It's too dumb to be embraced as camp entertainment.

Marlee Maitlin could tell that was Dionne Warwick.

It’s a fun show. I enjoy looking at the costumes. They’re pretty awesome! The people that make them should be commended. I like the banana outfit.

Outstanding Costumes for a Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Program....

RuPaul's Drag Race Winner

Dancing with the Stars

Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé

Saturday Night Live For episode with host Sandra Oh

The Masked Singer For episode "Finale"

I do not know who the other four are My wrong guesses:

Kitten: one of the sisters from modern family

Frog: no clue

Banana: Bret Michaels

Taco: talks like Regis but the singing is clearly someone who can do impersonations. I don’t think it’s Regis anymore. No clue

From group a:

White Tiger: Gronk

Kangaroo: no clue

Turtle l: Jesse mccarthy

[quote]Taco: talks like Regis but the singing is clearly someone who can do impersonations. I don’t think it’s Regis anymore. No clue

Regis as in Regis Philbin? Regis is 89 years old and frail. He couldn't stand there with that head on let alone perform.

Here's one theory of Taco...

Taco is Seth McFarlan - he had to do the masked singer to get his show picked up.

R38 That could easily be his body double under the mask, lip-syncing to the pre-recorded vocals and the real Regis will make an appearance only in the unmasking scene.

Wow R41 you seem complicated and you think an 89 year old has that strong a vocal ability? Did you hear Dionne trying to hit the notes? Or have you heard Tony Bennett talking all his songs now.?

Tac = Tom Bergeron

I am just watching this weeks and the taco, who I liked before was kinda bad. I think he will go but I have yet to see it but since he just gave the friendship bracelet to Nicole with Kiss and Perfect. He gave it away.

The host

Angel...Lil Kim?

Bear...Uma Thurman

Swan....Nicole Ritchie

I'm PST and that Bear sounds like Sarah Palin.

I would die if it was her. Talking about her cubs and this rap sounds like her.

TREX sounds really young. And I think reality show celeb.

No idea.

Swan might be Jennifer Love Hewitt. That was a good guess.

She played a good girl and a hooker.

I was fucking right. The Tina Fey guess was a bit interesting in a way.

Good thing I’m not tripping on acid. These costumes are crazy! Night Angel is really creepy!

I had no idea! Good guess R48!

the night angel is Kandi Burress from RHOA

The Swan...have no idea who that is.

r55 Bella Thorn - she was a disney kid and then became a Youtuber - she is complete trash.

I think R56 and I are the only ones watching this show! Hey girl!!

r57 Hi hon!

Why did Nicole say she co-wrote the song "Jai Ho" from "Slumdog Millionaire when it won The Oscar and A.R. Rahman (music) & Gulzar (lyrics) took the award?

American girl group The Pussycat Dolls recorded an English interpretation of "Jai Ho". Entitled "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)", and credited to "A. R. Rahman and the Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger", the song appeared on the re-release of the group's second studio album Doll Domination (2008).

Typical of Nicole to take credit - it is a pretty ridiculous reach to say you co-wrote it.

Kitty Kat Kate Bosworth first movie Redford's The Horse Whisperer

Watching PST. So I don't know who got voted off yet.

Sorry I'm late to the thread, but most of the times I wanted to post I couldn't. The only contestants who are left that I got on my own were Banana and Night Angel. Dionne, Chaka, Drew Carey , Tom Bergeron , and Gronk were hella obvious.

SPOILER WARNING!!!

Night Angel - Kandi Burruss

Rhino - Barry Zito ( credit to my friend)

Astronaut -Hunter Hayes (credit to my friend)

Turtle - Jesse McCartney ( credit to friend)

Banana - Bret Michaels

Kangaroo - Jordyn Woods ( one of my insta-hoe friends told me this )

Kitty - Jackie Evancho

Frog - Lil' Bow Wow

Maybe I had a weak cable signal but were Night Angel AND Kangaroo really off key tonight?

They are trying to disguise Kandy's voice. Her tone is very distinct - I knew it was her from the first note, the first day.

Terrible song choices tonight and how many times a show can McCarthy say "amazing"?

Who?

The joke of this show is the guesses. Is it Bob Dylan? That could be Bruce Springsteen who is it? Oh it's the Oxyclean guy.

It's the Queen of England! No, no, no, it's Ivanka!

Why do they keep thinking the kangaroo is a professional singer. She is terrible. One song sounded okay but when Jenny said Jordan Sparks, I was like how insulting can you be. I don't know who half of r63s guesses are.

I know that Kandi is the Night Angel, I agree that the Banana is Bret Michaels, I think that the kitty is Sarah Hyland. I don't know the rest.

R64 it wasn't a weak cable signal. Your ears were simply working properly.

I didn’t even know who the revealed singer tonight was.

Well according to Jenny McCarthy...she was AMAZING!

I’m really not engaged with this season at all. Previous seasons have been fun, and last season in particular had some outstanding performances with Chris Daughtry, Wayne Brady and Patti LaBelle. But this season has no standouts for me, and so many of the song choices have been wretched. Time and again, I’ve wondered, “Who chose this cheesy song?!”

r74 - usually in shows like this - they have a choice of songs that have been cleared. Like American Idol sometimes you cannot get the clearance so the song choice has to be changed at the end so a singer might not have had a week to rehearse it. Add to that some singers are purposely trying to disguise their voices. Dionne Warwick was doing that - I think Kandy is as well but it is really hard they have very distinct voices.

So who do you think the turtle is?

I think it's pretty much known Turtle is Jesse McCartney

Yeah the funny thing is Hunter Hayes (astronaut) and Jesse McCartney (turtle) could be twins or at least brothers.

Hunter Hayes? Who the hell is that?

I think the astronaut is Joseph Gorden Levitt. Clue last episode had me thinking 3rd rock from the sun.

Who the hell is Jordan Woods. That was an anti climatic reveal

Joseph Gorden Levitt is tall the astronaut is not.

Hunter Hayes is a country singer. He was kind of the Justin Bieber of country music but his career fizzeled.

R72 apparently she's about to start making new music. I hope she gets a vocal coach, because her breath support needs work.

Nick isn't there?

Shit show tonight.

no one got voted off

The Kitten is the strongest singer.

I think the Frog is strongest performer.

Either one for the win and I',m happy

r84 how can you tell?

Are there only four of us on DL watching this show? I think it’s a hoot!

Next week is a sing-a-long? Did thy have to stop production? Cause these filler shows are deadly and will kill the show fast.

R88 other stuff was supposed to air on FOX prior to the finale. I think one new show was supposed to primere in May, but I forget what big event that was. FOX basically moved the Finale up 1 week as a way of saying sorry for that pitiful episode last week.

R85 I agree, although I think Turtle is a better singer than Kitty but only by a hair margin. She does however have the better vocal ability of the two. I think Frog is going to win. Lol, if the top 3 is who I think it will be ( #1 Frog, #2 Turtle, #3 Night Angel) , I swear that's a mighty big coincidence. For the past 3 seasons we would have : 1) Black Male Winner, 2) White Male Runner-up ( who is usually a better singer than #1) , and WOC 3rd Place winner.

Jackie Evancho's voice has really improved.

R90 who’s that?

R91 she was a viral sensation a few years ago for being a child who could sing opera . She basically tried to steal Charlette Church's act. Didn't work, now she wants to be a pop singer, hence using this show for publicity. Google her. She sang at Trump's inauguration , but she isn't a deplorable as she has a trans sister.

She had a 2nd-place finish in the fifth season of America's Got Talent. She has a platinum-selling EP and eight albums, including three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts. She has also been the subject of three solo PBS concert specials.

Rhino sucks. Turtle and Astronaunt are Meh.

My top 3 are Frog, Kitten and Night Angel.

I saw this and it blew my mind. Nick was there when she was a kid too

[quote]My top 3 are Frog, Kitten and Night Angel.

Frog? You realize this is called "The Masked Singer" and it's a SINGING competition and the Frog hasn't sung once don't you?

But he can ribbit!

R94 fraus love Turtle . Idk why. He has a very generic male pop voice. Something very forgettable like a ton of men on the Voice, AGT, and American Idol. I don't think Rhino sucks, but he is a generic country singer. He can only do ballads. I'm more surprised about the people who love Brett Michaels? He's well passed his prime as a singer. He's a fun hype man of sorts, but he is not that interesting.

We have the same Top 3!!! However, I know the finale results will be : 1) Frog, 2) Turtle, 3) Night Angel.

What the fuck song did that pussy sing? Terrible.

See terrible song choice and she looked pissed she didn't win.

r100, it wasn't the best song or performance for her, but she was the best singer so it kinda sucks.

The frog is the best performer.

Once again the show is called The Masked SINGER not Masker Performer. Next season will be there last if a non singer wins. Just like Dancing With The Stars crowned an asshole who couldn't dance and lost a huge chunk of their audience.

Last season was so much fun, with some terrific performances. This season is terrible, filled with embarrassing song choices, generic performances (about which the judges RAVE “best performance EVER!”) and people I’ve never heard of. I’ve watched all season, but with last night’s show, I just tuned in for the last five minutes so I can see went home and who it was.

And I wholeheartedly agree with R103 —the Frog has never sung, only performed, and if he wins, it will be a Bobby Bones Jump-the-Shark moment.

r103, Rapping I think is okay in a singing competition. I'd rather someone who has sold records and is a professional talent than bland generic voices. AKA Rhino and Turtle.

the show died when White Tiger got through over Dionne Warrick.

They rushed this season out and that was a mistake. A week after season two. Didn't give us a chance to miss it. And the new format was terrible. You had a month watching the same 6 to 3 people, then another group and you forgot the first, and then the third and you forgot everyone before that.

It was bound to happen but it sucks because of those reasons and not that a rapper is the best one left.

r106 honestly I think Dionne, and Lil Wayne were paid a lot of money to not go very far on purpose. Dionne probably said fuck that to wearing that costume for more than a few weeks and Lil Wayne probably just did it for shits and giggles only if he could go out first. On what planet does the rapping frog stay over Lil Wayne?

I think the big names do it for a big paycheck and the promise of a quick out. The ones left are all C list celebs who endure the costumes and the week after week practice and dancing and learning of songs. Poor Khandi - she is working so hard to disguise her voice she sounds shitty. I am convinced the judges know who they are because they keep saying OH SHE IS AMAZING. Umm no she isn't not holding back like that she is not. That is why Turtle is doing so well. Jesse McCartney does not need to disguise his voice it is a generic white boy bander voice.

The turtle sucked tonight. Really bad song choice. He couldn't pull it off. He is no Nick Jonas.

R107, R108 and others I have friends who just love, love, LOVE Turle and Kitty. I don't know why. Lol, they even asked me who I thought was the best singer. I said the question is unfair as there are some singers well over 50 and 60 and the voice declines after ~45. When further prodded for " ok then, who in their prime?" I answered the best 3 in terms of vocal ability in prime are #1 Dionne Warwick, #2 Brett Michaels and #2 Chaka Khan. They got defensive and I explained if you listen to Dionne's old music you won't find many vocal breaks, she was part alto part soprano in her prime. Few if any pitch errors, no strain , etc. and still this friend was like you're wrong Kitty ( Jackie Evancho) and Turtle ( McCartney) are totally the best !

It was then I realized a generation of millennials don't realize how marketed and popular musicians have shaped their idea of what is good. Auditory pleasing tone =/= remarkable vocal ability, nor does competent singing.

My prediction for next week's finale:

1. Frog

2. Turtle

3. Night Angel

Night Angel will win - they won't give it to a man two years in a row.

I predict -

NA Turtle Frog
