Peacock does sound like NPH when he talks but Donnie Osmond when he sings but how would the rainbow go with Osnond?
Also,the wig and jail?

ok I did a little,google and it’s clear who peacock is to me now.

I've never heard T-Pain without auto-tune, so I can't comment on that one. Seems like a stretch, his only recent credit is a spot on We Bare Bears.

My kids just watch with us for the silly costumes and performances, they have no idea who any of these people are (though to be fair neither do the judges going by their guesses).

I'm not even sure if my kids were older who they would know. Maybe Antonio Brown, since he's on the cover of Madden, but who in the world would have recognized his voice?

Also, is the show rigged? I mean they had this ensemble performance with like four of them, they had to practice that, right? So they had to know who was going to be around for that.

The "rainbow" was the "Technicolor Dreamcoat".

I still don't get what "serious roles" Donny Osmond has done though. Looking at IMDB, I don't see anything that would be a considered a serious role. Maybe on stage? Is Joseph considered a serious role?

I'm still going against the grain and thinking The Bee is Tina Turner.

If you look back that's what I originally thought as well until I read up on her recent health history. From wikipedia:

Turner stated in her 2018 memoir Tina Turner: My Love Story that she had suffered life-threatening illnesses. In 2013, three weeks after her wedding to Erwin Bach, she suffered a stroke and had to learn to walk again. In 2016, she was diagnosed with intestinal cancer. Turner opted for homeopathic remedies to treat her high blood pressure that resulted in damage to her kidneys and eventual kidney failure. Her chances of receiving a kidney were low, and she was urged to start dialysis. Turner considered assisted suicide and signed up to be a member of Exit, but Bach offered to donate a kidney for her transplant; the transplant took place on April 7, 2017

it’s Donnie... he was the lead in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and the revealing object was his wig from that show.

At this point, I’m feeling like they over Americanized the show with scripts written for the judges. A lot of fhe guesses, defenses, and reactions seem so staged. No one is that oblivious to guess the wrong body shapes or height.

Re: The Masked Singer (FOX) -- celebrity singing game show

Glad I was right on The Alien because I got spoilered twice today before I got to watch it! On Google Chrome on iPhone/iPad (not desktop version) when you open a new tab they give you a list of 'stories you might be interested' and of course one of them had who got unmasked. Then I was in a waiting room later and Latoya was on a talk show talking about it. lol

I love JB Smoove. Everything he is on he just cracks me up.

Since this was all shot months ago, I'm sure they'll take some of it into consideration.

Hopefully.

Lion and Rabbit are unmasked. I was right about both.

Bee, Peacock, and Monster are left... and I think Monster’s gonna walk away with the Golden Mask.

So the finale needs 2 hours to unmask the final 3?

Needs? Hell no. Milking for what's Fox's highest rated series in years? Absolutely.

Pulled a 2.6 in the demo and an 8.22 million viewers last night. And it was #1 in the demo for all of last week. Impressive.

Rumer Willis? Wow, would've never guessed that. She's pretty good singer. Joey Fatone was decent singer, but far more of an entertainer.

I think this is the Bee's to lose, although the Monster could be a dark horse. He should've saved that Sam Smith song for next week. That was the best performance of the season, IMHO.

Since all of the early “guesses” have been correct, I wonder if they weren’t actually spoilers that got leaked.

They sure seem to be making people think the peacock is NPH, like how he mentioned "his partner" but then he also mentioned his last album. Jenny was still guessing NPH after that. Does she think NPH has put out albums?

I wonder if the hosts get to do research after each episode, or do they just shoot them too fast for that.

According to my DVR, the first hour is "The Road to the Finale" ( or something like that).

The little hint for Monster confirmed he's
Spoiler:
T-Pain (I'm on a boat motherfucker don't you ever forget)


The other two are pretty much locked as well.

Edit: Yep on those two

Unfortunately, there were no true surprises since Tommy Chong if you've been keeping up with speculation online.
