Donny Osmond. I had no clue who he was and was floored when he was revealed.

[@adamsmoberly]

I love how the American version is literally about dress up and guessing the celebrity, when the original Korean version was more or so giving talented singers a chance to show off their vocals, because the K-Pop industry is so focused on visuals to the point half the industry doesn’t sing live anymore. Also, it sounds like most these performances having auto tune, even with it live. Like she’s should have singers, not just anyone.

One thing that I felt Masked Singer did well, or rather, a panelist, was when Firefly was clearly starting to have issues and needing medical assistance, Ken was out of his seat and heading towards the stage. Show be darned, someone needed help and he was going to give it. The backstage crew came out and he was stopped, but the fact remains that he was ready to throw the competition aside when a performer needed help.

That’s because he is a doctor and most, if not all, will help someone if they need it.

Dishonorable Mentions: * Nicole's Inappropriate Dress (Season 4) - Fans slammed Nicole for showing her behind in a teeny dress on a "family show". * Take It Off Buzzer (Season 6) - Fans were paranoid that a panel could eliminate a good contestant just for a point. * Anti-Vaxxer Reveled (Season 6) - We were surprised to see Rob Schneider on the show during COVID-19. * French Hen's Absence (Season 9) - The French Hen quits after being announced and before appearing on The Masked Singer. * Butterfly's Shocking News (Season 2) - Butterfly got shocked due to a short-circuit on stage during rehearsal. * Trutle Was Robbed (Season 3) - Turtle got more votes than Night Angel, yet Night Angel took the award from him.

[@frasergibson5763]

Hughes guessing Thornton was a result of his kids recognising her voice. Wouldn’t really call that a scandal. What I WOULD call a scandal however is that when (spoiler alert) Macy Gray was eliminated, she refused to unmask. She had to be talked into taking it off

[@josephnewsome2935]

She was definitely intoxicated just listen to her unmasked performance

[@mjasked]

She sounds terrible too, even with the mask on. I really wanted her to go home ASAP

[@serenitylove6926]

As far as leaks on the show the 1st one I saw was for Michelle Williams the butterfly. The person that leaked it was the man that was held responsible for electricly shocking her. He was fired and he spilled the beans as revenge. It was up a couple days as a comment. The 2nd time it was Rudy Juliani And people were trying to guess which costume he was in. Ken didn't walk out because of politics, he walked out because Juliani had made racist remarks against Asians. Robin followed him because he was worried about Ken.

[@dasiareed2708]

So Kevin walked out because whoever Rudy is was a disgusting person

[@jamesheatherly4209]

I actually came up with the theory that Rudy wasn’t supposed to be on the show initially but he was cast at the last minute because the real Team Bad singer Thingamabob was moved to Team Cuddly to replace the singer who dropped out. I even supported my theory with how they did the performance first instead of the clue package first like they usually would as well as the knowledge that how many of ratings stunts have been confirmed as last minute additions.(For example, after his unmasking episode aired,Dr.Elvis/Serpent confirmed that Mickey Rourk was cast at the last minute due to the uncertainty of whether or not Lorenzo Ball/Whatchamacallit was going to be able to do the show due to the NBA restart)

[@mjasked]

That is surprisingly genius. Although, that would mean Group A would’ve been without a cuddly contestant, and I don’t see Thingamabob being an OH MY GOD! His first song is “Wanted Dead or Alive!” That’s basically a villain song! Never mind mate. I agree

@@frasergibson5763 agreed. Plus I disagree with the original comment here, because I think anyone should have that right, to redeem themselves, and possibly show off their skills(the ones that can sing, but aren't singers, that is.) Plus, in my opinion, the majority of celebrities are controversial for one reason or another, for instance, while I love LeAnn Rimes(the sun), one of my all time favorites on the show, she has very controversial past, along with her now husband. They literally cheated on their partners when they originally got together, and since then they've stayed together, but Regardless technically they're still controversial in some way. Plus think of all the modern singers with tons of controversy(the majority of them, I'd say-a large portion.)

It's interesting that you didn't give any mention at all to the Australian version of The Masked Singer actually stealing the music group Halocene's cover of Billie Eilish's song "Bad Guy" and not crediting them or reimbursing them for it - the group's lead singer even released a video comparing their version, which featured samples from songs of theirs which they hadn't even released yet, and the show's version which is a like-for-like replica.

[@erinmalone2669]

I’m actually not surprised that Rudy Giuliani was on there. The show has not been very thoughtful about some of the casting. The show is on Fox after all. I think they were hoping that it would be a distraction from the horrible things he has done and try to make him look more relatable. I think they thought it was going to be great publicity because there’s no such thing as bad publicity they say. They were very wrong about that.

"The Show Is Rigged and/or Staged." Ya don't say. This has been pretty obvious since the beginning at least in the American version. There have been so many times that it's stupidly obvious who the singer is (ex. Lil Wayne) and they're like, "Uh idk is it (random person you've probably never heard of)?" Then on the flip side you're like who the heck is that singing and off the top with no warning they're just like, "Is that 13 time NBA All-Star Dwayne Wade?" or "Is that (Random Tik-Tok singer)?" and the guess is correct. I'm just like there's no way both ways that this show isn't rigged or staged (again I'm just speaking on the American version). Not to mention the couple times that the definite favorite in the runnings lost to someone else because that's how they wrote the finale.

Just because they have been a politician it doesn’t mean that it is about politics on The Masked Singer!

[@themanflake]

If you don’t want to seem biased, don’t call him a disgraced mayor. At the time Rudy Giuliani was mayor of New York, he was called America’s mayor, and probably to this day he was the best mayor of New York and cleaned up crime in the city and took care of the city when 9/11 happened. You don’t like him just because he’s been Donald Trump’s lawyer, just keep your politics out of there. I know Ken didn’t like him, but you don’t have to give your opinion about him.

[@marydavis5234]

Ken walked offstage because of Rudy Giuliano’s racists comments about Asians and Robin walked onstage to support his friend.

[@alexrightnow2531]

Most of this is new to me since I'm only familiar with the UK version 😭

[@angiewilliams10]

So, let me see if I got this right…Bobby Brown shouldn’t be allowed to perform on TV because of his actions 20+ years ago while in the throes of active addiction? Does him turning his life around after losing both his kids and the love of his life or him apologizing every chance he gets for his wrongdoings now that he’s sober and can see just how bad it was not count for anything? The only ppl who were mad about Rudy and Sarah were those on the opposing political side. They weren’t campaigning or pandering for votes and support for their political careers. They had an opportunity present itself and they thought it would be fun. Yes, Palin said she did it to stick it to the other side but there was no politics involved with her performances. Same with Rudy. Idc who you vote for or what side you support. That’s your problem, not mine. I don’t support any politician so it’s not an issue or even given the tiniest bit of consideration when I’m deciding what I like to watch. If you can’t put the shit aside in order to have a good time, again-your problem, not mine. And finally Nick…everybody and their grandma knows he’s been fired from more jobs than he has kids, yet he still keeps getting hired because he actually does a good job hosting. Again, you learn how to set shit aside and pick your battles. People need to grow up and stop complaining over every little thing. Quit punishing folks for their mistakes that are decades old, especially if they’ve paid their dues. Life is so more enjoyable when you remove the stick from your ass!

[@angiewilliams10]

Also, judges are supposed to be impartial and not make a decision or choice based on anything but the performance they just watched. These shows are created specifically around maintaining the anonymity of the performer so their voice is the only thing being judged. If they have a problem with that then they need to go find another gig

[@MrsCutieeCake]

I am somewhat relieved that the Swedish version of Masked Singer doesn't have scandals like this....Except a jerk leaking the list of celebrities beneath the masks.

[@matts7476]

Disgraced lawyer??? How about greatest New York Mayor ever.

[@SebouhSimonian-f7x]

Best city ever had now disgraced president for Biden

[@killdozer7792]

You think Rudy was bad? The Italian version had the granddaughter of Benito Mussolini take part. Yes, THAT Mussolini! There was also a politician in the Belgian version who proved controversial, but it was largely overshadowed by the fact that he was actually really good.

[@Rtotalmagic]

Sadly, Alessandra Mussolini isn't the only member of the dynasty associated with far-right politics in Italy (their persistence foreshadowed the rise of the current Italian far-right leaders).. I believe Connor Rosseau is the name of the Belgian politician right? He proved a suprisingly good RnB vocalist...

[@josephnewsome2935]

@@Rtotalmagic Simon Bridges from New Zealand is also a great singer

[@EllieC130]

Sarah Palin cracked me up ngl.

[@Emily-cw7tj]

Me too I thought she was actually really good 😊

[@jeonghansjudgingface9280]

I work at a family holiday park here in the UK and we have a little show called ‘masked DJ’ we dtand behind this prop DJ desk and pretend to DJ and dance around and the guests have to guess which member of the entertainment team it is, the kids always guess it by our shoes lol

[@ameliamaeasmr]

No mention of them stealing a Halocene cover and not crediting them? (the band had changed the arrangement and that's the arrangement used)

[@-Evangeline.]

Am i the only one who stopped watching the masked singer after season 3/mid season 4? it just wasn't the same anymore

[@JackTASM2]

My mom and I stopped watching after season 3 ended.

[@adammoldover8769]

I stopped watching after the first couple episodes of season 7. I follow who's been on the show, but I don't watch anymore.

[@buckylovesplums_6731]

I stopped watching after season two ended

[@KidDangerthepony]

Kid Danger: *wearing his big trucker pup outfit* the dog when he was finished with his sing and his mask came clean off! no joke, ponys, no joke!

[@DreamBelief]

Kinda typical of sarah palin to say she wanted to do it as a middle finger but then trying to ban people from seeing it. You can't have it both ways

[@tikithekitty3209]

My family and I stopped watching the US version of The Masked Singer after season 9. We full heartedly thought thr Macaw would win and we guessed/knew who it was. And he was the better singer between the two. We had suspicions for years that the show was rigged especially when the Turtle lost to Night Angel. But season 9 was the last straw for us.

[@hattttttttt]

I like how you have to label him "disgraced lawyer" when it's already obvious mojo is propaganda.

[@owenkyle597]

When rudy Giuliani was revealed in season 7 by Owen Kyle 😮

[@TheJonathanc82]

It’s amazing how mind numbingly dumb most TV is these days. I’m so glad I don’t have cable.

[@michaelmonthey5974]

McTerrier’s losing his head was more of an accident than a scandal.

[@erinsaylors4665]

keep politicians out of entertainment, both parties are a disgrace

[@haleyrose-tq8ck]

Spoiler Alert McTerrier Loses His Head Grandpa Monster’s Identity

[@cynstein]

Ken is a doctor despite being an entertainer

[@Tater_Poutine]

PLEASE Take this show out to the shed and Put It Down.. this Show need to dissappear gracefully but those hasbeens need the money..

[@Ravzie]

It’s my guilty pleasure. I think it’s fun and goofy.

[@DarkYozora]

TURTLE WAS ROBBED!!!

[@GachaFreddy]

Kermit? Ohhhh, you mean Kermit! Wait. Kermie was on *that* show?

[@theraVen27]

Ah crap I clicked on mojo bait again

[@BMarie774]

6:09 that is not Logan Paul singing lol. If it is, it’s HIGHLY edited. That is..not Logan Paul singing lol.

[@Beast_the_smash_guy]

Logan is better than one would initially think at a couple of things (look at WWE). Plus, HOW many years had it been since he sung those other songs? Obviously his voice is different than before

[@Brian13549]

Ken Chung was a little baby in that episode with ex Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
