Masked Singer People

After two amazing episodes with Group B already, it was time for the Group B Finals with Grand Ole Opry Night! I was looking forward to this episode, as the show had already done a Country Night in Season 9, and that was a great episode with some great performances, so I felt the same would happen here. I was also looking forward to this episode when I found out who would be performing, as one of the contestants is a country singer and the other two performed country songs very well on the show “We Are Family,” so I felt we were in for three great performances.  The episode opened the same way all the other Group Finals have opened, with a group performance from the remaining Group B contestants. They performed “Save A Horse (Ride A Cowboy)” by Big & Rich, which was perfect for all three of their voices, and also let them show off the power in their voices. For whatever reason, Rita was not on this episode, so in her place was actress and comedian Casey Wilson.  After that...

After an amazing start to Group B last week with Voices of Olympus Night, it was time for Ghostbusters Night! I was intrigued by this theme night, as I have frequently enjoyed the theme nights that are dedicated to a specific movie, and I was also curious as to what songs would be performed on a theme night like this.  The episode started in an entertaining way, as all the panelists came out dressed as Ghostbusters and were wearing proton packs, their car the Ecto-1 was on the stage, the stage had a backdrop of New York City, the dancers were also dressed like Ghostbusters, and there was a person dressed as the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. I was a little surprised that they didn’t bring back Ray Parker Jr for a special performance of the song “Ghostbusters” at the beginning of the episode, because he has been a contestant before, and they like bringing back past contestants for special performances at the start of an episode. That being said, it was still nice that they got Ernie Hud...

After three amazing episodes with Group A, it was finally time to meet Group B in Voices of Olympus Night! I was very excited for this, as since it had been three weeks with Group A, it felt like it was the start of a new season, which I think is probably how I will feel when Group C premieres at the end of the month. I also felt that this was an interesting theme, as while I knew that it would result in creative stage design and the panelists dressing up for the theme, I also knew that the theme was vague enough that the contestants would be performing whatever songs they wanted to, so I knew we would be getting a variety of unique songs.  The episode opened with Nick providing a dramatic narration to introduce the episode, and then introducing the panelists, who were all dressed according to the theme. I was not surprised that the episode didn’t begin with a guest performance, as I don’t feel there are any songs that are appropriate for the theme. After the introduction, it was t...

After two amazing episodes to start off the season, it was time for the Group A Finals with Rat Pack Tribute Night! I was looking forward to this episode, as all the other episodes the show has done in the past dedicated to specific artists have all been great, so I felt that this would be no exception. I also knew that we were going to get three amazing performances, as all three contestants in this episode were amazing in the first two episodes, which made it hard for me to have an early guess as to who would be unmasked.  The episode started off in a unique way, as typically, most episodes in the recent seasons start off with a performance from the panelists or a guest singer, or a group performance from the remaining contestants in the group. In this episode, they did both, as the episode opened with a performance of “Fly Me To The Moon” by Frank Sinatra from Robin and Coral, Ant, and Paparazzo. I think this was a cool thing to do, as it let Robin show off his singing skills ag...

After an amazing Season 13 Premiere last week, it was time for the first theme night of the season, which was Shrek Night! I was looking forward to this episode for several reasons, such as the fact that all four performers were very good, so I knew we would get four great performances, and I feel that one of the best parts of the “Shrek” movies is its soundtrack, so there are many great songs to choose from.  The episode opened with a group performance from all four panelists, who performed the most famous song from the movies, “All Star” by Smash Mouth. I always enjoy these performances from the panel, as it always seems like they are having so much fun, and they went to so much trouble to try to recreate the movies that they started off with Ken beginning his performance by exiting the outhouse like Shrek did in the movie, and the other three panelists did the same thing as well. The stage was also decorated to match the theme, and they even had an amusement park Shrek costume t...

After two months that felt like they would never end, it was finally time for the premiere of Season 13 of The Masked Singer! I had been looking forward to this a lot, as the trailers had shown a lot of potential, the snippets of performances in the trailers sounded great, the theme nights sounded great, and the costumes looked great as well. It seemed like the show was firing on all cylinders, and after watching this episode, I can safely say that it was!
The episode started off in an entertaining way, as it showed the panelists getting on an elevator that kept on making stops at every floor, with each floor letting on a contestant that won the season of the same number. By the time they got to the thirteenth floor, Nick Cannon, all four panelists, and all twelve past winners entered the stage. From there, they jumped into a performance of “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk that was performed by Robin, Rita, and last season’s runner up Mario. I think that this was a great way to kick off the se...
