Before I googled this I thought you were on drugs......but now that i've seen what it is I think it would be a waste to watch it if you weren't on drugs 

Hahaha! It’s sooo good!

But it is based off of a South Korean show, so yeah, it is a little strange 😂

I heard about this a few months ago and watched a clip and was like.....Uhhhh, some singers have some really distinct voices....So do they modify them in some way.....I mean I probably wouldn't know many of them, but if it were someone like Phil Collins (wait, did he die?) Fantasia, or some shit like that....How could you miss.

Anyway, afer that I hadn't heard a thing about it again until Tuesday....The chick that hangs around here was talking to someone on  the phone about it and my biggest fear was that it was about to be on my TV....But dodged that bullet.

Right?! That’s why I’m pretty positive on Chris Daughtry, his voice is pretty unique. But it’s a lot harder than I thought it was going to be!

They do disguise their voices when they’re talking, but not when they’re singing. And they show little video packages with clues as to who the person is.

But they aren’t all singers! There are some athletes, actors, comedians, etc. So it makes it even harder to guess 😣

Watched one episode and it was entirely too much fluff. Like an abridged version or highlight reel would be better but I get they want to stretch it out. 

True. Last night was their 2 hour season premiere and it definitely didn’t need to be that long...

It's a cool concept, and I liked seeing Ryan Reynolds on the Korean show but when I see the American version it's like 80% pure fluff. Pretty formulaic of these types of shows now, though.

Really? I feel like they advertised the heck out of it since their first season was so popular...

I assume it's on one of the big network channels, I barely watch those.

I might check it out though for the hell of it.

So....How is it a competion...Are there contestants the get something for guessing right....Or do the singers get something for fooling the most people....So much info is missing/I didn't read

Yeah! So for example, last night was the season premiere, so there were 8 celebrities who performed. They paired them off, and each one sang. Then the audience voted on which one of the two they liked the most. The winners of each round got to stay masked and get to stay in the competition. The losers then had to compete against one another, and whoever got the least amount of votes in that round was eliminated and had to unmask.

They have a celebrity panel who tries to guess who they are. The winner is the whoever stays in their mask the longest. They might get a trophy or something, too...

If so, any guesses on who’s who?

I’m like 1000% sure The Rottweiler is Chris Daughtry. Other than that, I don’t have many guesses. I’m bad at this game... 😣

I've only guessed the egg so far because that person was in one of the only 2 sports I watch.

Well....

No, it has Jenny McCarthy.  Not touching that shit.

*Sigh* It's really annoying that she has to host everything, but I try to tune her out.

Sometimes I think the audience votes against the better singer because they want to see who's in that costume. I can't blame them because my curiosity would drive me to do the same thing.
