I've seen people saying that Robin could be Peter Andre, but I don't think he is THAT good of a singer?

Poor Sophie - her performance was weak so I'm not surprised. The effort to conceal her voice just made the whole thing sound quite bad. When she sang properly unmasked at the end, she sounded miles better.

 

Robin has to be Aston? It sounds just like him!

 

The clue package was so obviously pointing to Billie Piper for Sausage that it feels like it now can't be her.

 

Sounds a bit like Ne-Yo

 

I kept hearing Ne-Yo during Badger's performance and with Cee Lo & Kelis doing series 1, maybe he's actually within the realms of possibility. But I'm not sure how it fits with the clues at all.

Robin - Aston Merrygold, not only do the mannerisms in his performance fit but the flying without wings clue - JLS sang that on the X Factor final with Westlife

 

Dragon - Michelle Visage, both the speaking voice and vocal sound like her.

 

Swan - Ashley Roberts, Strictly = ballroom but she also has a dance background. Not sure about the vocal being here but it's not a million miles off if you listen to one of her solo songs then her performance.

 

Sausage - I want to say Joss Stone tbh! I thought Billie Piper but I just can't imagine her sounding like that vocally, it has been 20 years since Day & Night etc. I suppose but I doubt her voice has changed that much. There's that soulful edge that keeps me coming back to the idea of it being Joss. I'd even maybe say Paloma Faith as a wildcard but her voice is SO distinctive I doubt she could mask it that well.

 

Badger - stumped, see with the virtual world thing I wanted to say someone from Gorillaz but then Damon Albarn couldn't walk down the street without being recognised and none of them sound like that :lol: Honestly have no idea, I can't hear Ne-Yo really and the clues definitely don't fit Ne-Yo.

 

Not surprised Sophie was unmasked, definitely the weak link of the night. As said, she focused too much on disguising her voice and it just wasn't good at all.

Too bad the Sophie essentially self-sabotaged, when I heard she was the first out I kind of assumed she had only been contracted to do one episode (Masked Singer US seems to do this - have a recognizable name out in the first round to trick the audience into thinking they're all big gets).

Yes it's not a good look to be out so quickly. It's a show where you can surprise people with your actual singing ability and it was a wasted opportunity for sure.

 

I'm also thinking of Aston for Robin, or someone from JLS. My mind goes to Pussycat Dolls members as the gp has basically never heard them sing other than Nicole. Then I think of former The Wanted members, as well as Conor Maynard (don't know why, probably because he can surprise vocally and has a had a pretty low profile in recent years (DJ gigs and the odd song on Spotify.

My guesses after week 1 (I’m determined not to google stuff!)

 

Robin - first few notes I had Peter Andre but am now on Aston Merrygold

 

Alien - Trip the Light Fantastic was such an easy clue.....feel sorry for Sophie, but I’m trying to conceal her voice she screwed herself over. I thought the ‘Battle’ referred to her number one battle with Posh!

 

Swan - no idea. Georgia from Love Island?! (Loyal babe....)

 

Dragon - Courtney Act.

 

Sausage - Ella Henderson (but not really sure of that)

 

Badger - originally thought Matt Bellamy (Muse covered the song). Now I’m on Damon Albarn

 

 

I'm thinking perhaps Gabrielle for Harlequin?

Blob is Lenny Henry.

Thought Harlequin could be Shirley Bassey, although she might be too old.

 

Also suggested that Blob could be Dave Benson-Phillips. The 4-eyes clue could refer to his puppet on Playdays, Chester.

Seahorse is Mel B definitely she once stole toilet paper from Nelson Mandela’s house!

Didn’t sound like her though!

Ricky Wilson from Kaiser Chiefs is my guess for Viking

Bush Baby's singing voice sounds suspiciously like David Walliams.

Thought Harlequin could be Shirley Bassey, although she might be too old.

 

Also suggested that Blob could be Dave Benson-Phillips. The 4-eyes clue could refer to his puppet on Playdays, Chester.

 

Blob sounded very Lenny Henry to me - he started on TV and was in a school drama. Plus some of the deeper bits sounded very like him.

 

Harlequin I’m not really sure, my guess was Patti LaBelle but that seems utterly ridiculous but I’ve already half convinced myself.

We think that Viking sounds a little bit like Matt Cardle of all people.

What??? Grandfather Clock should have gone.

Grandfather Clock is surely Jermaine Jenus.

I'm thinking perhaps Gabrielle for Harlequin?

my first thought too!

 

Dave benson phillips for blob

 

Ricky wilson viking

Grandfather Clock staying was bizarre, however Mel wasn't great and I did know it was her! Grandfather clock I have no idea but I assume its a footballer I'd know very little about anyway, although I know of them when I hear the name usually.

 

This crop was much weaker I feel, Viking is the only one I'd say was up there with say Sausage or Robin from last week who I feel could go all the way. Defintely agree with Ricky for Viking!

I am sure Blob is Lenny Henry, the voice was him!
