      Every Singer Should Do 'The Masked Singer', Says Jake Shears After Elimination

      by

      ITV

      The Scissor Sisters musician says singing incognito is not easy as he challenges all performers to hide their faces behind masks and compete on the singing contest.
      Feb 15, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Jake Shears would like to see all performers take part in “The Masked Singer”, calling the show the “ultimate challenge.”
      The singer was unveiled as The Unicorn on the U.K. version of the franchise, which sees celebrities perform tunes in elaborate costumes in a bid to outsmart judges and viewers and win the title.
      Reflecting on the experience, the “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ ” hitmaker told Rolling Stone, “I think every performer should be required to do a season of Masked Singer.”
      “It’s the ultimate challenge: How do you manage to be entertaining while basically performing in what equals a diving suit from 100 years ago?” he explained. “It’s not easy. But it was a strange kind of thrill. Also, the fact that I got to sing “Babooshka” by Kate Bush on U.K. national television dressed as a flaming unicorn was the ultimate reward.”
      The Scissor Sisters star released his new single, “Meltdown”, on Friday, February 14, 2020, which is the first tune to be lifted from his upcoming disco-influenced album. After releasing his debut solo effort in 2018 with a more experimental feel, Jake said he’s ready to return to his trademark dance style.
      “It felt like a real plunge stepping out on my own,” he said. “That album was my dream of taking the theatrical rock facet of my musical style and tuning it into a fiercely personal concept record. Now, I’m ready to make some dance music again.”

      Chaka Khan Will Never Do Anything Like 'Masked Singer' Again Following Elimination

      by

      FOX

      The ‘Ain’t Nobody’ hitmaker shares her journey on the singing contest as she describes performing in disguise as the ‘weirdest’ thing she’s ever done.
      Feb 14, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Chaka Khan’s appearance on “The Masked Singer U.S.” is the “weirdest” job of her five-decade career.
      The “Ain’t Nobody” hitmaker was unmasked as Miss Monster on Wednesday, February 12, 2020 night’s instalment of the show, which sees celebrities perform tunes in elaborate costumes in a bid to outsmart judges and viewers and win the title.
      While Chaka was unmasked after an acclaimed performance of Lesley Gore’s classic anthem “You Don’t Own Me”, she confessed in a chat with Billboard she sees her appearance on the show as a victory – as the judges had no idea who the powerhouse voice belonged to.
      “I don’t think I got sent home; they just couldn’t guess who I was,” she said. “They didn’t know who the hell I was… They even guessed some dead people!”
      However, the experience wasn’t without its challenges, as Chaka, who performed with Rufus from 1972 to 1983, confessed wearing the disguise wasn’t ideal.
      “Performing in that costume. That was the hardest thing to do,” she insisted. “And being incognito backstage.”
      And when asked if there’s anything the “Through the Fire” singer will take away from her time on the series, she added, “Yes. That I’ll never do anything like that again.”

      AceShowbiz – “The Masked Singer” season 3 returned with a new episode on Wednesday, February 5. After big revelation that the Robot, who was eliminated in the premiere episode, was rapper Lil Wayne, one other contestants would be unmasked at the end of the episode.

      After the audience and panelists, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy, voted for their favorites of the night, it was announced that Llama had to be sent home. Then, Llama was revealed to be comedian Drew Carey, who’s known for hosting “The Price Is Right” and “Whose Line Is it Anyway?”.
      Carey told Entertainment Weekly that he wasn’t upset for being eliminated. “It’s like if you were doing karaoke at an office party and they gave you a little joke trophy that you could put in your cubicle,” he admitted. “That’s how I treated it. There’s no way you can take this show seriously as a singing talent show.”
      “I thought it was going to be a quick ride,” Carey told Variety. “After I got past the first round, everything else was gravy… I like to carry a tune. I knew I wasn’t going to win that contest. There’s no way to watch that show and take it seriously, really. When you have Wayne Brady and Seal and whomever else on there, I’m not going to win against those people on a singing show!”
      “But as far as having a goof and having fun, I can do that,” he added. “And I’m pretty self-aware. I watched the show, and I know why they have somebody like me on the show. They always have a beloved old guy. I knew how long I’d last!”
