Season 10 Live Thread

[The Crazed Spruce]

Looking over the list of people who received the Medal of Freedom from Obama, the best bets are either Gloria Steinem or Billie Jean King. And with Ken's track record this season, I'm leaning towards King.

[SweePea59]

I like Ken's guess the best. It would be awesome to have her sing that song. How many get voted off tonight? If it's only one, then we'll find out who this legend is.

[NeenerNeener]

At last! Someone who can sing!

 

Thanks, Nicole, Roth was my guess too.

I’m so happy Tiki was good because up to this point, I was very disappointed with this group. We started out strong with group one, but this has been weak tonight in terms of vocal talent. 
 

@SweePea59, only one is going home.

I guess Hawk signed on for two episodes.

Rita Moreno can sing so Royal Hen can't be her.

I wish Nick had asked Billie Jean King why she wanted to do this show or if they just pitched it to her solely because they were doing an Elton John night and it would be a one night only performance. 

[SweePea59]

I love the one-offs when they are legends! Best part of the show for me.

Exactly, but, when they guessed her and the way she reacted, for a moment I thought could it be Chita Rivera? But again, even when real singers get really old they can still use their voices.

Agreed. And the mere fact that it was the Royal Hen, automatically made me think "King".

Tonight it really sounded like him.

 

Wait, hasn’t Brian McKnight already been on this show? Not that Husky sounded anything like him, but still.

Yes it did sound like him.

Per wiki: In 2021, Brian McKnight competed on The Masked Singer spin-off The Masked Dancer as "Cricket". I had to look it up because I thought  he was already on  MS.

I didn't care for the versions of Super freak and Every little thing she does is magic. 

What is Jenny supposed to be? Is she not wearing any makeup because she doesn't look good. Sorry but I don't know anything about Harry Potter.

She's supposed to  be Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts wizarding  school. He's an old man.

She’s supposed to be Dumbledore, but she’s not pulling it off, IMO.

I thought exactly this after the first few notes. That's a very distinctive voice.

The only thing that has me questioning this is that she appeared on another version of the show, TMS:Australia. 
 

 

[The Crazed Spruce]

I'm guessing Hawk is Drake. Fits the "high school" clue.

[The Crazed Spruce]

Don't know who either The Donut or Hibiscus is. For some reason, I got Roger Daltry and Heidi Klum vibes from the clue packages, but the voices don't match at all.

The Anteater sounds an awful lot like Alfonso Ribiero.

[Bookworm13]

I don’t have a clue who anyone is yet, but I’m happy they all seem to be decent singers so far. 
 

The Anteater costume is really throwing me off. I can’t tell if it’s someone really short or if the nose is just making them appear short. 
 

Edit : I was not impressed by Candelabra at all. 

Edited November 9, 2023 by Bookworm13

[SweePea59]

I liked the Janice Dickinson guess for Hibiscus. Both Donut and Anteater are real singers and I feel like I should know them.

I agree with you, Bookworm13, the height thing is confusing. The only person I can think of who would be that height is Paul Williams. And I don't think that's him.

Whoa, David Jo! I'd love it if he was on, but at least, Hot Hot Hot is on for a snippet.🖤

Well, they're shorter than Nick, at least.

Google says Nick is 5’10, so that does help eliminate some of my guesses. 

[SweePea59]

No brainer, Hibiscus was the weakest. But Anteater as the second weakest? No way.

Alfonso Ribiero is 5'6". Just sayin'.

[Bookworm13]

Yay, the right person is leaving! 
 

I’m not familiar with any of the NYC Housewives, but that original song at the end is one of the worst/dumbest things I’ve ever heard. 

Edited November 9, 2023 by Bookworm13

[The Crazed Spruce]

Yeah, I'm betting it's Janice Dickinson, too.

I don't watch any of the Housewives shows, so if it's one of them, I wouldn't recognize her anyway

[callie lee 29]

Just tuned in the last 15 minutes or so and saw the reveal. And ummm, doesn't cabaret involve singing?? And she has a cabaret show? That people pay actual money too??

 

Mmkay...

[Bookworm13]

I’ve clearly been living under a rock - I had no idea Trolls were still so popular and that there were multiple movies. 

[NeenerNeener]

Trolls? Really?

I guess I'm under there with you. I remember trolls were popular in the 90s when my daughter (now 34) was younger. I guess everything old is new again.

[NeenerNeener]

OK, Nicole's guess matches the spoiler guess I just saw for Candelabra.

Most of the spoiler guesses I saw for Anteater say 

Spoiler

John Oates

John Schneider

just lost his wife this year, and I think the voice sounds right for Donut.

I like the wig on Ken. He looks like he's ready to sell tarako noodles.

[Bookworm13]

I’ve been pretty underwhelmed tonight so far. Hopefully the wildcard is entertaining.

I’m a couple years older than your daughter, but yeah, Trolls scream ‘90s to me. 

[NeenerNeener]

The dancers have heads this week; I just wish they had faces too.

[SweePea59]

I loved Trolls in the '60's when I was little. They scream the '60's to me.

I just did some googling on that Anteater spoiler, and yup, that's him. He was a "scrappy wrestler" in high school. And a bunch of stuff about cars and Nascar. And yes, he (they) did Live Aid.

Edited November 16, 2023 by SweePea59

[Bookworm13]

So what is the connection between Trolls and boy bands? Or isn’t there one, and it’s just a TMS thing that they all sang boy band songs this week. 

[The Crazed Spruce]

I say Donut and Candelabra are going on to the next round tonight.

The new Trolls movie is about a boy band reuniting.

Yeah, I know. It should've just been "Boy Band Night".

Called it.

I don't know... when we get a tear jerker story that contestant is usually unmasked. I'd like to have Donut and Anteater stay. I can't stand Candelabra, but her style is popular. I think Cuddle Monster was the weakest tonight.

ETA: You were right!

Edited November 16, 2023 by SweePea59

[Bookworm13]

As cute as he is, I think Cuddle Monster is a one & done. Still don’t like Candelabra. 

[The Crazed Spruce]

Honestly not surprised. Cuddle Monster was the weaker singer.

[Lily H]

I can't STAND Candalabra. There must be a lot of producer shenanigans with that one.

Interesting. Can you spoiler the cougar connection?

[The Crazed Spruce]

Well, I was right about S'More being a boy-bander, anyway....

The spoilers were right about S'More. Gazelle was robbed.
