Dear Masked Singer Panel:
I don't know how you can not hear who some of these singers are.
How the bleep anyone can listen to the Flower and say, "Well, maybe NOT one of the Holy Women's Trinity of Soul?" is BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION. (Clue: one has already been on. The other is no longer with us.)
I get why you don't know Tree, because Tree is a tough one. I know. I'm certain of my guess on it because the clues all fit and I've heard that voice before. None of your guesses on Tree are even close to right, by the way.
But: Rottweiler? You guys don't hear that this man was already on a Fox competition show once? Ignore the package and listen to the voice. You'll be transported to a kinder, gentler time of the last decade where our biggest concern as a nation was making sure no one actually killed Simon Cowell--even though we all wanted to at one point.
Genuinely, Robin Thicke, I don't understand how you say you even have an ear if you don't know who Leopard is. I mean, turn in your credentials. NONE OF THE GUESSES ARE CLOSE.
As for the Fox? I don't understand how you all can't hear that voice. I mean, it's possible that sometime in the last 2 decades you didn't see him on that show he does that is on during the summers on the CW or in repeats from its time on ABC. But that voice. THAT VOICE. It's a voice that has been on Broadway. It's a voice that can convincingly mimic many other song styles.
I really hope he makes it to the final.
That final is going to be a beast. How do you pare down: a Queen of Soul, a platinum-selling Grammy-winning performer (male), a platinum-selling Grammy-winning performer (female), a performer with 20 #1 hits worldwide, an Emmy-winning star who has been on Broadway, the scion of heavy metal royalty who is a singer in her own right, a triple-threat whom the judges love every week, and Thingamajig?
Last season the clear winner, Gladys Knight, DID NOT WIN. I mean, she won as far as I'm concerned (and many others). You judges were sure she'd win. She was the best. Now, she had some decent competition--Fatone has a great voice still, and Donny Osmond really worked it, but this season? I mean, C'MON. And even with all that very tough competition, I still think a Queen of Soul is deserving.
Don't you?
