The Masked Singer UK...2021

Did fleetingly cross my mind last night, but I’d say extremely unlikely as she’s of a much, much lower calibre compared to the unmasked singers so far.

I was surprised about the curve ball of drums and the fast forward theme tune for Bush baby( John Thomson), i thought i had Stephen Mulhern in the bag with the clues given. But I still stand by Dragon - John Barrowman. (100% Now)
Badger- Craig Charles (100% Now)
Blob- Lenny Henry (100% Now).
Sausage- Sheridan Smith - (80% Now).
Viking- Morten Harket (100% Now) Double bluff with A-ha's "Take on me" song.
Harlequin after tonights clues and past episodes clues could possibly relate to Emilie Sande???

. Black and white refers to one of her album cover pictures. The news paper reference relates to her song "Read all about it". She also did a song called "Clown". She received a MBE from Prince Charles.( Prince clue). So i am about 70% it could be her.

I 100% think that Harlequin is Gabrielle-the voice gives it away somewhat.

It's amazing really that the show still works this many weeks on - you'd think everyone would have them all or nearly all worked out by now - but this thread proves otherwise.

And yes i also think Blob is Lenny Henry and that the Matt Lucas reference is a red herring, Lenny Henry was a headteacher in a tv show And Schools are also connected because of fund raising for Comic Relief.

Lenny Henry’s done many pop parodies over the years as well so it’s no surprise that his singing voice was recognised so quickly.

I think Badger could be Kevin Clifton off Strictly maybe. Saw him in Rock of Ages back when theatre was a thing and he has a great voice.

You hope they have learnt from series 1 where by you'd be more surprised if it wasn't the person you thought it was in the final three from several weeks out, such were the obviousness of some of the clues.

Yeah, everyone seemed convinced that Bush Baby was Stephen Mulhern.

The fact she sang Fast Car was a major giveaway- originally that was the backing track of Dreams before she had to change it for legal reasons.

His singing voice sounds exactly the same as his speaking voice!

He does seem to do a good job of disguising his voice when he's talking though. Just not when he sings.

I remember reading a comment on the Thriller parody he did in the 80s, where they said Michael Jackson's video must have cost a fortune, but Lenny Henry's looked virtually the same but most have cost next to nothing- makes you wonder where all the money goes on some of these big budget music videos sometimes when you can recreate them faithfully on a BBC comedy budget. Co-incidentallythey were both born on the same day- August 29th 1958!

If this doesn't prove that Blob is Lenny Henry, nothing will!
