Since our social life has become so restricted, has anyone else found themselves watching all sorts of programmes they never before considered. I’m so entertained by the Masked Singer and can’t wait to discover who is Blob!

Having seen Sue Perkins, I realise they could be anyone. Still convinced about Sheridan Smith, all that pink from Legally Blonde. Surely Stacey Dooley hasn't got a belting voice, it so she's in the wrong profession.

Oh Granmajet you are right, he is from Grimsby. I'm daft!!! Think they live in Wales now, I think..... ah well next week we will be put out of our misery

First time I had seen this programme and was surprised that I enjoyed it. No idea who any of them were / are but some great voices.
Who knew Sue Perkins could sing so well ?

grandmajet Sun 07-Feb-21 11:52:56

It is just fun isn’t it? Lenny Henry could sing too, and Glen Hoddle? Who knew!

The problem that I have with the Masked Singer is my complete ignorance about many of the people whose names are guessed. I don’t listen to music on a regular basis and I don’t watch sport or most reality shows, so even when the panel say a name I’m stumped.

However, I do like a good whodunnit and I enjoy research, so when I thought I recognised a voice AND the initial clues fitted I got quite excited.

I think Badger is James Blunt and I can find a link for every clue.

What I do find surprising is that I suspect I will actually be disappointed if it’s not - I like his music and he’s one of a very few modern artists whose music I have bought.

I think that sausage is Stacey Solomon.

I have no idea about Robin or Badger.

I am surprised that Jane Horrocks is not singing - she could sound like anyone she liked!

I don't know why I watch this. I can't guess who any of them are, I don't know most of the people the panel guess and when they take their mask off I still haven't heard of half of them!!!
But it's addictive!

I’ve had Stacey Dooley down for Sausage for ages, but yes, I am wondering if she could really have such a fabulous voice (though hey, Sue was a revelation!). DH thinks Anastasia for Sausage, but I can’t remember why. Aled Jones for Robin?

Who’s Viking?

Before the reveal, DGS3 (3yo) made us laugh when he said he definitely knew who Dragon was. His Grandma Sue apparently. grin

Maggiemaybe Mon 08-Feb-21 14:59:24

Sorry, Viking, not Dragon. He probably thought Dragon was me, what with the fabulous voice and all. wink

Right, I’m all ready for the big final tonight. My best guesses are; Sausage, still going with Sheridan Smith. Badger, Carl Fogarty. Robin, Taron Egerton.
Probably wrong on all three.

Grannynannywanny Sat 13-Feb-21 18:44:44

I’ll guess..
Sausage/Stacey Solomon
Badger/Carl Fogarty
Robin/Gareth Gates

grandmajet Sat 13-Feb-21 19:11:04

Ooh, Gareth Gates!
We’ll get more wonderful clues soon!

BlueBelle Sat 13-Feb-21 19:11:17

Oh er here we go
Sausage Stacy Solomon
Badger
Robin .... not a clue for either

grandmajet Sat 13-Feb-21 19:20:37

Merrygold - marigold.
Fits like a glove.
Aston Merrygold

Grannynannywanny Sat 13-Feb-21 19:24:36

grandmajet I think you’re right!

Beauregard Sat 13-Feb-21 19:25:18

Robin - Aston Merrygold
Sausage -Stacey Soloman
Badger - no idea....possibly Ne-Yo

Beauregard Sat 13-Feb-21 19:26:02

Oo...Nicola just said Ne-Yo

BlueBelle Sat 13-Feb-21 19:32:11

Robin Aston
Sausage (changed my mind) Sheridan smith
Badger I want it to be the handsome David Essex but he’s too old I guess

grandmajet Sat 13-Feb-21 19:39:06

Yes Bluebelle, David Essex would be a nice addition to my Saturday evening!

grandmajet Sat 13-Feb-21 19:40:51

Robin reveal!

grandmajet Sat 13-Feb-21 19:42:54

Aston!

BlueBelle Sat 13-Feb-21 19:45:34

grandmajet he still looks good at mid 70 s handsome man
