Who Are You Fest

Image
After an amazing return last week with 60s Night, it was time to finally meet Group C in Who Are You Fest! I was excited to meet the last five contestants, as since we were with each group for three weeks each, it almost felt like a new season when we met the next group, especially since Group A first arrived in September, Group B first arrived in October, and Group C first arrived in November. I was also intrigued by what the performances would be in this episode, as it was announced that it would be songs by artists who have performed at music festivals. When the episode got closer, I found that the contestants for the most part had chosen random songs, which I thought was great, as it meant the contestants would be performing songs that they were comfortable with. There wasn’t much of a big intro to this episode, as it was just Nick introducing each of the panelists one by one, and from there we met the first performer of the night, which was Royal Knight. Her Masked Ambassador was

60s Night

Image
After a great episode with Barbie Night, a week off due to the World Series, and the most stressful election in recent times, it was time for 60s Night on The Masked Singer! With how the election turned out, I’m sure you can all agree that The Masked Singer is something that is desperately needed at this time. I was also looking forward to this episode, as it’s not that common that a contestant sings an older song, so I was interested in seeing what songs they would go for.  The episode started off the same way as many other Group Finals in recent seasons, which is a group performance with the remaining three contestants in the group. I always enjoy group performances, as it lets the contestants stand out together. They also performed “Fun, Fun, Fun” by The Beach Boys, which is somehow the first song by The Beach Boys that has ever been performed on the show. Nick also mentioned that the Ding Dong Keep It On Bell was still in play for this episode, and I had a feeling that it was going

Barbie Night

Image
After an amazing start to Group B last week with Sports Night, it was time to see them again with Barbie Night! I was looking forward to this episode, as all four contestants were great last week, and I was sure we were going to get more great performances in this episode. When I first heard that Barbie Night was going to be an episode this season, I had no idea what that would mean, as I was wondering if all the contestants were going to perform songs from the movie “Barbie.” I soon found out that was not entirely the case, as it turned out the contestants would be performing songs by female singers and songs about women, which I felt gave them more choices. The episode started off in an entertaining way, as it opened with Ken Jeong giving a surprisingly very good performance of “I’m Just Ken” from the “Barbie” movie. As soon as I saw they were doing Barbie Night this season, I knew that they were going to have this song in some way or make Ken jokes throughout the episode.  After tha

Sports Night

Image
After three great episodes with Group A, it was time to meet Group B in Sports Night! I was looking forward to meeting five new contestants, as since we had been with Group A for three weeks, it almost felt like it was a new season entirely, which I feel is probably how I’m going to feel when we meet Group C in a few weeks. The episode started by showing that they were going all in on the theme of Sports Night, as it presented itself like a typical sports broadcast, even having Joel McHale and Nikki Glaser as guest commentators throughout the episode. The panelists then came out dressed in boxing gloves and robes, and Robin and Rita then gave a great performance of “Rock You Like a Hurricane” by The Scorpions. The panelists then made their way to their desk, at which point they removed their boxing gear to show that they were all wearing different sports uniforms underneath. After that, it was time to meet the first performer of the night, which was The Wasp. I was happy to find out th

Soundtrack Of My Life Night

Image
After two amazing episodes to start off the season, it was time for the Group A Finals with Soundtrack of My Life Night! I was looking forward to this for many reasons, as this is a theme night that has led to many great performances in the previous two seasons, and all three contestants were already amazing singers, so I knew we were going to get more great performances.  The episode started off the same way as the group finals last season, with a group performance from all three contestants. They performed “High Hopes” by Panic at The Disco, and how they performed was they each took turns singing a line in the verse before all coming together at the chorus. I always enjoy these group performances, as it gives the contestants an opportunity to show off what they sound like together and showcase their unique vocal abilities. After that, Nick then said that tonight would be a double elimination, unless the panelists chose to ring the Ding Dong Keep It On Bell on one of the contestants,

Footloose Night

Image
After an amazing premiere last week, it was time for Footloose Night on The Masked Singer! As we were sticking with Group A again this week, I was sure that we were going to have four amazing performances from the returning contestants.  The episode started off in a way that I knew it would, with Robin Thicke performing the song “Footloose” by Kenny Loggins, which I thought was a good performance. Much like with most of the other past theme nights, the panelists and Nick Cannon all dressed up to match the theme of the episode, with Robin and Nick both dressed as Kevin Bacon’s character in the movie.  The first performer of the night was The Showbird. In her clue package, she said that she always knew that if she ever got a chance to perform in front of the lights, she would do something good with it. So, when she got that chance, work became her entire life, and she was married to it. She then said that she couldn’t help but feel that something was missing from her life, which was real

Season 12 Premiere

Image
After four months from the finale of Season 11, it was time for Season 12 to premiere! The leadup to this season, however, was different from all the other seasons, as for the first time in the show’s history, I had encountered leaks. While I am sure that there have been leaks before among people who have been to the tapings, they were not this prevalent in the past, and it seemed like they were everywhere. Things got even crazier when identities started being implied, and I saw leaks that contradicted other leaks that I had already seen. I was trying to make sense of everything that I had seen, but I couldn’t. Every time I thought I had figured out who somebody was, I would remember something that made my guess incorrect. I also got worried when I found out that the season would be following a similar format to Season 7, and had a new showrunner like Season 7, since I remembered how bad that season was. But I remembered that there were still some great performances that season, and I
