Season 9 Live Thread

[The Crazed Spruce]

Chat away!

[NeenerNeener]

This better be good. Jenny is channeling Marilyn Monroe tonight.

[Bookworm13]

Mustang sounds super familiar to me. 
 

Not loving the blonde hair on Nicole. Jenny looks better than usual, though. 

[NeenerNeener]

Wow, Gnome is a really well done costume. I wonder if they will have one-and-done celebrities this season like they did last season.

[Bookworm13]

Is Gnome the most intricate costume they’ve ever had? Stunning! Not sure who it is, but whoever is under there is one of the biggest stars they’ve had based on clues. 

[The Crazed Spruce]

I was gonna guess Nathan Lane after the clue package, but after hearing him sing, and after the judges' guesses... yeah, The Gnome is Hoffman.

[NeenerNeener]

Gee, Mustang's costume looks kind of basic when you see Gnome and Medusa.

Gnome is going home, and possibly Mustang too if only one gets to go further.

Damn, we’re off to a fantastic start this season and I’d happily watch all 3 of these people again. Let’s just hope they can keep up this level of talent or at least not go to z-list nobodies for future weeks. 
 

ETA : Nicole just made me spit my tea out. Was not expecting that zinger from her. 
 

I hope this bell actually gets used and isn’t like the other thing they had where they could make someone unmask immediately yet was never used.

Dick Van Dyke as the Gnome was such a lovely surprise! Made my whole night!

[NeenerNeener]

Damn, this is going to be a tough decision in the Battle Royale. This might be worth using the stupid bell.

Edited February 16, 2023 by NeenerNeener

[Bookworm13]

I have no idea who she is, but Medusa is such an expressive performer. 
 

Never would’ve guessed Dick Van Dyke would appear on this show. What a treat and he looks great for 97! 
 

ETA : I was wrong earlier, I have no idea who Sara Evans is.

Nicole looks good; I don't like Jenny's outfit this week.

Apple Martin was born in 2004, so what's the 1996 clue all about?

Night Owl's costume is great. They really have gone all out on the costumes so far this season.

Medusa's going home tonight.

And Rock Lobster is the one-and-done for this episode.

[The Crazed Spruce]

...Okay, I have no idea who Night Owl is. All I know is, Medusa has competition.

 

[SweePea59]

I'm guessing Night Owl is Kristin Chenoweth.

[LakeGal]

Lorde is born in 1996.  She could be Medusa.

I think Debbie Gibson from Long Island could be Night Owl.

[The Crazed Spruce]

Well, Rock Lobster is going home tonight.

That's what my husband guessed. We saw Debbie in concert last June 2022.  

[Lilac2000]

I guessed Debbie Gibson from the clues...even before she sang

[The Crazed Spruce]

Gotta be honest, I thought it might be Howie Mandel when Ken said he didn't know what the cards could be referring to about him. The first thing I thought was "Deal or No Deal".

[The Crazed Spruce]

Yeah, I'm with you guys. They definitely sound like Lorde and Debbie Gibson.

And I get the feeling it'll be a while before we find out for sure, 'cause that bell is gonna be rung.

[NeenerNeener]

I don't agree with that decision at all. Maybe she wanted to be a one-and-done.

I agree 100%. Medusa is not a good singer whoever she is.

Medusa isn't as great as they want us to think she is. She sounds like her voice is straining. She might be better at a non-belting song? I didn't mind her version of Diamonds last week.

[SweePea59]

Debbie Gibson's mother passed away on January 23, 2022. So now we know when this was taped.

Edited February 23, 2023 by SweePea59

[NeenerNeener]

I've only seen the commercials and already I don't like Nicole's hair.

Well, so far I'm underwhelmed with Medusa tonight. And Debbie Gibson must have been unable to commit to more than one episode and that's how Medusa won last week.

Well Polar Bear is definitely a one-and-done.

Gold Derby says Medusa is Bishop Briggs.

Edited March 2, 2023 by NeenerNeener

[The Crazed Spruce]

Aw, man, Polar Bear was gonna be *my* costume if I ever got famous!

 

[Bookworm13]

After missing last week due to the ice storm knocking out my power, I’m happy to be back tonight. Watching this show alone on YT doesn’t have the same appeal 😆

I take back everything I said about Medusa in week 1. Both last week and tonight were not good. I really hope she isn’t who they use the bell on. 
 

What the hell am I listening to? I don’t know who Polar Bear is, but clearly a one-and-done. 
 

Edit: I think I missed something. Do these random clue people actually have anything to do with the person in the costume or are they just random famous NY’ers reading what the producers tell them? 

Edited March 2, 2023 by Bookworm13

[The Crazed Spruce]

Honestly, I'm thinking Polar Bear might be Fab Five Freddy.

[MrsEVH]

I read on  the Masked Singer Facebook page some are guessing Medusa could be Fergie.

[SweePea59]

He is mentioned in the song. I'm thinking whoever it is is a friend of Debbie Harry's.

People have been guessing her since week 1. Personally I think Medusa is too tall, but maybe her heels are taller than I think. 

Is California Roll Pentatonix? I have no idea how many members there are, just the first thing that popped in my head. Hoping they are who move forward this week.

I was picking up that same vibe.

[Maximoose]

For the people thinking penta;

Their youtube has 5.9 billion views

In the clues it was stated that he took a gleeful trip to CA. So were any of them on Glee?

According to wiki, they arranged a song for a local radio competition to meet the cast of Glee, though they lost. 

[SweePea59]

Sweet! 

 

[The Crazed Spruce]

Well, I was right about it being a rap legend, at least....

[SweePea59]

I honestly thought he was from Philly.

 

[Bookworm13]

The talent this show has been able to get for the past couple of seasons is incredible, with people knowing they can be one-and-done. Not sure why he didn’t pick a song better suited, though.

That’s who the YT comment section thinks too. I’ve never heard the name before 😂

[The Crazed Spruce]

Calling it now. California Roll wins, but they save Medusa with the bell.

[SweePea59]

I'm so tired of Medusa. But it would be very offensive to NYC to have California Rolls win on NY themed night. It's a shame they didn't cover a Ramones song tonight.

[The Crazed Spruce]

Called it.

[Bookworm13]

I’m excited for an entire new group next week. 

[kathyk24]

California Roll is Pentatonix. I recognized Kirsty's voice and their harmonies.

[NeenerNeener]

Nicole looks good in the catsuit. Gargoyle sounds pretty good. He's not an intentional one-and-done.

Interesting that Wolf isn't moving around on stage. 

No obvious one-and-dones in the first two singers this time. Or with the third singer...

Squirrel might be Lio Tipton, based on the figure skating and sitcom clues. And then again, Margot Robbie is probably a better guess, and she probably can't commit to more than this episode.

Edited March 9, 2023 by NeenerNeener

[Bookworm13]

That is not the voice I was expecting from Gargoyle. 
 

I have a weird feeling they’re going to use the bell tonight and we’re only getting one unmasking. I hope I’m wrong. 
 

Edit: Who is Nick supposed to be dressed as? I recognize the judges’ outfits, but Nick just looks like a knock-off Halloween costume.

All 3 singers were surprisingly good tonight.  It’s nice there wasn’t an obvious one-and-done. I’d be happy listening to any of these again. 

Edited March 9, 2023 by Bookworm13

[The Crazed Spruce]

I have no idea who either of these people are this week. To be fair, though, that's nothing strange....

[The Crazed Spruce]

Not surprised. It's a tough group, and Wolf was the weakest singer of the three.

[binky101]

Wolf can still belt it out convincingly, and give the lyrics emotion, but the poor guy seemed stiff and emotionless most of the time he was on stage. I'd hoped for/ expected a bit more humor or liveliness or something.

ETA: I like this show best when the contestants seem to be enjoying the performances of the other singers, when there are at least small gestures of respect or friendship or awe, something.  Nothing really there for Wolf.
