Care Bears Night

Image
After another amazing episode last week with Ozzfest Night, it was time for Care Bears Night! Okay, I am just going to say this right now, I have no idea why this was a theme night. Usually, I am able to understand why there is a theme night centered around a pop culture franchise, but in this case, I could not figure out why. The Care Bears have not been relevant in decades, I’m not even sure if some people even remember who they are, and some of you reading might not remember who they are either. I also had no idea what songs could possibly have been performed on this episode. Granted, there were some theme nights this season where I had no idea what songs could have been performed, but after finally seeing them, I was sort of able to understand why some of the songs were chosen, but even as we got closer to this episode, I couldn’t think of any songs that could be performed, as at best, all I could think of was that they would pick random songs on this episode, and then reverse engi...

Ozzfest Night

Image
After a great return last week with Spice Girls Night, it was finally time for Ozzfest Night! Okay, so here’s a fun fact about me. I really like rock music. I don’t know why, but I always have. Maybe it’s from my brother playing Guitar Hero a lot when we were younger, or maybe it was my mom introducing me to the former classic rock radio station 95.9 The Fox. Whatever the reason, I really like rock music, and I am genuinely surprised by how few rock performances the show has had over the course of 14 seasons, how few rock performers have been contestants already, and how few rock theme nights the show has already had. So, obviously I was looking forward to this theme night, as not only were we going to hear some great rock songs from one of the greatest artists of all time, it was also going to serve as a sweet tribute to him. I would also like to remind you all of one important thing. The episode was Ozzfest Night specifically, which was the music festival tour that he used to have th...

Spice Girls Night

Image
After another amazing episode two weeks ago with Twilight Night, and no episode last week because the Winter Olympics are more popular than I thought, it was time for the next episode with Spice Girls Night!  I was looking forward to this episode, as the show has already had several theme nights dedicated to specific artists, and the episodes and the performances have been varying degrees of great and entertaining, so I felt that this episode would be no different. I was also looking forward to it when I found out that the contestants who were performing were Crane, Pugcasso, and Snow Cone.  Also, I’m going to be completely honest with you all right now. For the longest time, and it was a very long time, the only Spice Girls song I had ever heard of was Wannabe. I know that this has nothing to do with anything, but it’s just something I felt like sharing. This episode started off the same way as many other episodes in recent seasons, with a group performance from some of the p...

My Thoughts On Season 14 So Far

Image
Hello everybody! As some of you are probably aware by my lack of social media activity this week, there was no new episode of The Masked Singer this week, due to The Winter Olympics on NBC, so I can’t do a recap of the next episode right now.  So you’re probably wondering, what am I going to write about if there was new episode this week? Well, seeing as we are literally at the halfway point with six episodes of a twelve episode season, I have decided that for this week, I am going to share my thoughts on Season 14 so far!  Yes, that’s right. I am going to be discussing my thoughts on almost everything we have seen so far on the show, and what we can still expect from the season.  I feel that the best way to start off with this blog post is by saying what I think of the season so far. In the simplest terms imaginable, I think it has been really great! I feel that we have already had several great performances so far, and many great celebrities have become part of The Mask...

A Tribute To James Van Der Beek And A Recap Of Twilight Night

Image
After another great episode last week and having met all the contestants of the season with Red White And Clue Night, it was time for Twilight Night! When I first heard about this Theme Night, I had no idea what it would entail, but I knew that the song A Thousand Years would be performed in some way. Before I get into the episode though, there is something that I need to bring up. I was initially on the fence about even talking about it, but after seeing that the show addressed it, I feel that I should as well. On Wednesday, February 11, we lost another member of The Masked Singer family. James Van Der Beek, The Griffin on Season 13, has passed away after a years long battle with colorectal cancer.  I am going to be completely honest with you all, five other past contestants have passed away over the years, but out of all of them, this one hit me the hardest, and for a little while, I couldn’t understand why. But now I know why it hit me as hard as it did. It’s because it felt lik...

Red White And Clue Night

Image
After another great episode last week with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Night, it was time for Red White And Clue Night, which was in honor of America’s 250th Birthday.  Okay, so here’s a quick little disclaimer here. At the start of the season, they announced all the theme nights that would be a part of the season… except for one, which also happened to be this one. To make things even more confusing, they showed clips of performances from this episode in the trailers for the season, so at this point, I was trying to figure out what theme night could possibly have TWO contestants giving performances with backup dancers wearing cowboy hats. At first, I thought it was Fear Night, because Eggplant’s performance had a backdrop that had the words “Bold Courage” on it, and I figured he was singing a country song, but then I was also wondering why High Voltage also had backup dancers wearing cowboy hats, and when I saw what the performances on Fear Night actually looked like, I figured t...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Night

After an amazing episode last week with a surprising ending with Clueless Night, it was time for the exact same thing again with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Night! No, I am not even joking, two episodes in a row this season had unexpected and shocking endings. But I’m getting ahead of myself. I was obviously looking forward to this episode, as not only were we going to see four great singers again, we were also going to see the second Wildcard Contestant of the season. The episode started off in the only way that it could have, with the panelists performing the theme song to the original 1980s cartoon, which makes sense to me, as it’s one of the most iconic theme songs of all time. I think. I don’t know, I wasn’t alive at the time it was on. Much like all the other theme nights centered around pop culture franchises, there were people there in costumes of all the Ninja Turtles, and the panelists and Nick were all dressed up as the characters as well, as Robin was dressed as Raphael, J...
