The Season 14 Semifinals

Image
After ten weeks of an amazing Season 14, it was finally time for The Semifinals! I was greatly looking forward to this for the simple reason that it was the second to last episode with the final five contestants who were all amazing singers, which meant that we would be getting five amazing performances. There was no group performance at the beginning of the episode, as we instead jumped into the first performer, which was Galaxy Girl. In the place of traditional clue packages, the vault was opened and each of the contestants’ case files were brought out. For Galaxy Girl, she showed a necklace of a heart that was broken, and one half said “Best,” and the other half said “Friends.” She then said that she has looked up to one star her whole life, and that by day they would sing karaoke in her convertible, but by night she took the world’s biggest stages by storm. She then said that she watched in awe, saw the awards, the glitz, the glam, and also the public scrutiny and headlines, and sh...

Star Trek Night

Image
After another great episode last week with Care Bears Night, it was time for the final theme night of the season, Star Trek Night, in honor of the franchise’s 60th anniversary! I was looking forward to this episode for the simple reason that we are getting towards the end of the season, and the chances are that we will be getting great performances from here on out.  The episode did not start with a group performance from the four contestants on the episode, but rather with a parody of the original Star Trek intro, and from there, we got into the first performer of the night, which was Stingray. Much like last week, in lieu of traditional clue packages, each contestant had one colossal clue to their identities on this episode. For Stingray, he said that he has trekking with the worlds biggest stars his whole life, including someone else in the competition, and then an additional clue that was brought out was Michael Jackson’s glove. He then went on to give a great performance of St...

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...
