My wife and I started watching The Masked Singer about a week ago on a lark. We ended up being captivated by the spectacle of the thing, and ended up binge watching the whole thing. This show is ridiculous, but it's really entertaining. We are now caught up and have to wait for the finale on Wednesday to find out how the whole thing ends.
Below is my speculation about who is inside each of the remaining costumes. If you don't want to know who is in the final, and don't want to hear my predictions about the identity of these characters, you should stop reading now.
Ok, with that out of the way, here goes. I have tried really hard to avoid any information about this show online, so I might be really off base here, but I don't think I am. I feel pretty confident about these.
The Peacock
This guy says he's been performing since he was a kid. He showed a wig and said it involved him being in prison. He also said he's performed in Vegas.
My prediction: Donny Osmond. I may be just hearing what I want to hear, but I think it sounds like him. Also, the wig could be from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat (Joseph is imprisoned), and there was a rainbow inside his cape.
The Bee
This is a southern woman who has been singing since the 1950's. There are tons of peaches in her video segments, and she's in a group.
My Prediction:
Gladys Knight - again, I think it really sounds like her. The peaches are a reference to her biggest hit, "Midnight Train to Georgia".
The Monster
This is someone who used to be very popular, but fell out of the public favor and has been trying to regain it. He grew up in the South in a rough neighborhood.
My Prediction: T-Pain - this is the one I'm least sure about. He used to be everywhere, but then fell off pretty hard. I also vaguely remember seeing a thing on NPR where he was singing and taking about trying to change people's perception that he was just the "autotune guy". It seems to fit.
So, that's what I think. We'll have to wait until Weds to find out how I did. Is anyone else watching this show? What do you think of my predictions? Do you have any of your own?
