Last week the baseball game was postponed due to weather, and this week it was postponed by an hour due to the MLB playoffs. masked singer It finally returned to the air this Wednesday with a new bracket of three contestants. The series’ entire eight-season arc seemed to connect to this delayed moment. Andrew Lloyd Webber KnightCome to think of it, AWB’s Phantom of the Opera was a former masked diva, and of course Cat Decades ago there were singing stars in ridiculous furry costumes. clearly, masked singer Guest judge was a role Webber was born to play.
This week, unfortunately, no one dressed as a cat or a ghost. completely All sang classics from the glorious Webber songbook as they raced to join Harp (aka Amber Riley), the “reigning queen” of the previous bracket, in the Season 8 semi-finals.
By the end of the hour-long episode, two of these three contestants had already been eliminated, leaving only Robogirl to advance. new As the reigning Queen, she’ll face two new celebrities next week. ) Both Corn and Mermaid performed solidly. So before summing up their premature revelation, let me complain (Also!) on how Season 8’s new format sucks all the fun out of what was once America’s favorite pastime.
masked singer This season, Fox implemented a major format change to a season that boasted of a massive cast of 22 Mystery Cosplayers.probably to lure celebrities like William Shatner Eric Idleor Brady Bunch cast Who doesn’t want to commit to multiple episodes.Each week of Season 8 will feature near-instantaneous double-elimination, thus depriving viewers of the opportunity to play together at home and peruse each contestant’s clues over the course of several weeks. As pointed out in the previous paragraph, several singers who might have had the chance to reach the semi-finals under varying circumstances went home after one performance. I hope the Fox power takes note and corrects course in Season 9 as they are unhappy with the changes.
OK, yell. And that leads to this week’s two premature castoffs, The Corn and The Mermaid.and immediately remembered that YouTube kid loves cornI expected corn to perform corny jesus christ superstar“Heaven on their Minds”, but actually cornHe started with a deep, ringing androgynous voice that reminded him of Grace Slick playing “White Rabbit,” and then he really ripped it off. Webber was very impressed and said to Corn:
Webber also said of Corn, “He’s nice, but he’s young,” and fully admired the man in the suit, described by host Nick Cannon as a “corn big ass” suit.62 Turned out to be a comedian for years. sex and the city Actor Mario Cantone. (Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg guessed right from the “city” and “carried away” clues — another complaint I have about this speedy new format is that showrunners are rarely evenly matched. That’s it. Trying to To confuse the audience anymore, fill the one-off rejection cue package with explicit references. )
Mermaid is another public release of the night, the “Any Dream Will Do” Joseph and the Fabulous Technicolor Dreamcoat Although it was not the ideal song to showcase her range across scales, Webber was still impressed and speculated that Mermaid was “one of the greatest singers of all time”, Gloria Estefan.
The suspicious diva turns out to be Gloria… gainer.
Robin Thicke wrote that this particular Gloria was “petrified” by a freak accident (in 1978, Gaynor fell off a stage monitor and seriously injured his back), “survived”, and “anthems her anguish.” Clue about the Library of Congress was another key hint: in 2016, the library selected Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” for preservation in the National Recording Registry. We are so honored.You look gorgeous.You sang gorgeous.Thank you for blessing us.We will survive. “
Like I said, a disco diva extraordinaire like Gloria Gaynor definitely survived her first week had she been out for another season, even if no pun intended. But this result leaves Robogirl as the final mask of the week. She kills “Bad Cinderella” outright and “Don’t Cry, Argentina” in a showdown with a mermaid.
I’m not quite sure what the reference to Missy Elliott, being in the shadow of Pharrell Williams, is. When It was all about David Blaine, but “Steppin’ up” was also a clue, so this could be dancer/singer/actress Alyson Stoner.She likes her Missy and Pharrell videos and Step up dance franchise. Alison has also released 12 of her singles, including her “Pretty Girls.”
However, with visual cues on the surfboard and references to “magical fandom” and “quite spotlight,” this could be Teen Choice Award winner/host, actress and country singer Lucy Hale. I think there is pretty little liars Played the lead role in the short-lived 2007 bionic woman Appeared in Reboot (Ultimate Robo Musume!). A Cinderella Story: Once Upon A SongStarring Sofia Carson A Cinderella Story: When the Shoes Fit When Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionistis also likely.
Come back next Wednesday (other than rain postponed sporting events televised on Fox TV), Robogirl returns to defend the reigning Queen’s crown against two new contestants The two contestants will be heading home soon.
