The Masked Singer

I always fall off from watching and I wouldn't call myself a fan. I watch when I'm in between other series. I have never watched this show live. I stream it and I often fast forward through all of the talking, straight to the singing. I sometimes listen to the awful guesses and then return to fast forwarding. I find the camera shots to the audience's facial reactions annoying and I was curious if it was popular opinion. I'm not sure of what could make it better. Maybe cut the dialogue and replace with more performances which would reduce the number of groups. Nick's responses after the panel give their guesses are recycled. The format needs to change.

Okay I've been watching this show from the very first season. I really like the concept and it's become a pretty big thing in my house.

It's fun to play along and try to guess who it is. We like to write down the clues and everyone does first impressions..stuff like that. This year though (so far) it's like it got bad pretty fast. Almost like there was a huge budget cut?

There is definitely a different vibe this year. In the few episodes that have premiered these are some things I've noticed..

This year they switched up the teams.

Good, bad, and cuddly... this made me feel like I'm watching a children's show with my niece.

The judges do have really bad acting. Sometimes it's a little painful. This has been since the first season but instead of getting better it's gotten worse.

The costumes used to be spectacular!! This year they're pretty plain

Seems to be less clues then previous seasons.

.............. Will my family still watch the rest of this season and next? Yes. Because the show is what you make of it.

The game itself is still fun. But everything between the performance and the clue packages.. hurts.

We usually just take that time to put in our guesses.

For saying white people are one step above animals because of their skin color. this show reminds me of the TV shows on ROBOCOP when it was making fun of how stupid people are. they have people in masks that are athletes or country singer or twitter influencers that we've never heard of. "Oh, John P Public, the twitter star, wow, I would have never guessed!" Um - who? They did have a few cool ones at the beginning with Chong from Cheech and Chong and Kelly Osborne and Terry Bradshaw and Governor Palin and Lil John. About half the time though, we don't know the person. And the Cannon rant was the final nail in this coffin.

This is my first review because I feel like the hundred-something votes don't do this show any justice. With that being said, I've only seen the first episode, so I can't say that it is going to continue to be as exciting. What I do know is that my entire family was engrossed within the first 10 minutes, and my dad is excited for the next shows. He isn't one to get excited about competition shows (like AGT and The Voice), but he keeps talking about how he can't wait for the last episode to reveal the performers. I realize that some people are going into this show expecting the stars to be top celebrities and that some of them aren't is "disappointing," but I think it makes it more exciting because you dont know if the person behind the mask is Hollywood fame or YouTube fame. Secondly, I like that the judges each have very different backgrounds because that gives even more outrageous guesses about whose behind the mask and makes it more exciting at the end to laugh at how ridiculous some of the guesses are. Finally, I also like the audience gets a say in who moves on each week because that gives an element of viewer choice; even though the people watching the show from a screen don't have a say.

I used to love this show, but over the last few seasons they keep trying new things, the rules the way the judges do things. Just go back to when the show first started and leave stuff alone. Its killing the show. I'm not even sure if i will watch the new season out of fear of what they will do to screw it up more. Jenny can't stand her, she is over powering as far as voice and comes across as overbearing. Heck she couldn't get her own husbands voice, thats pretty bad. Fox pay attention to what the fans are telling you . Your killing the show unless that is what your actually wanting to do. Ty.
