Well, 2021 is picking up exactly where 2020 left off, considering that a troupe of dancing, edible, incredible biped animals and inanimate objects rando was not the craziest thing seen on television this Wednesday. But as the chaos unfolded on CNN, on Fox O Masked dancer – which, like its successful sister program The masked singer, cosplayer star of mysterious celebrities – accommodated perfectly on her regular Wednesday night. And this happened to be the same night that Masked dancer Judge Paula Abdul is old american idol co-star Randy Jackson debuted at Fox’s Name this tune restart, thus reminding us of simpler and happier times.
O Masked dancer the first part aired at the end of 2020, with dancers in disguise from Group A (Hammerhead, Tulip, Cricket, Exotic Bird and, for the first time, rejecting Disco Ball, which turned out to be nothing less than an icon of gangsta rap Chá ice cold). This week, we found Zebra, Cotton Candy, Ice Cube, Moth and Preguiça from Group B. I didn’t have high hopes for Preguiça, for the obvious reasons, but he exhibited an unexpected amount of speed and energy and therefore survived – just like the winner of Cotton Candy, despite suffering a very frightening and unpleasant drop in rehearsal while performing a Cirque du Soleil-style aerial stunt just above the stage. (I’m surprised that More the contestants did not fall for this show, given the limited range of vision and movement of the costumes. But I am relieved that Cotton Candy’s fluffy suit apparently cushioned his landing.)
Instead, it was the Ice Cube that melted under the pressure. I hoped that, at a totally meta moment, the Ice Cube would be another old school rapper: real NWA’s Ice Cube, O’Shea Jackson, who co-starred with Masked judge Ken Jeong in Walking together 2. The verbal “Word Up!” This cool character was even a “90s icon”! But the Cube was actually the equally iconic, but completely different Bill Nye, the science guy. Bill’s clumsy attempt to make the Postmodern Jukebox version of “Bad Romance” unfortunately didn’t drive the judges crazy; if he had danced “Weird Science” by Oingo Boingo (as he did in Dancing with the stars in season 13), or perhaps “She Blinded Me With Science” by brain-creative colleague Thomas Dolby, he may not have been eliminated from the competition anytime soon.
Surprisingly, Ken, who is almost Never you bet The masked singer, made a scientifically accurate assumption this week and found it was really Nye. (The other judges speculated that the iceman was everyone, from Axl Rose to Anderson Cooper and Al Gore). This was impressive, as the Masked dancer panelists must rely exclusively on tips and body language packages when examining competitors. But how well did Ken and the other judges do in identifying other Group B celebrities? And how well it went I Does? Let’s go into Science Guy mode and try to make some calculated assumptions.
Cotton candy
Although smaller Masked Dancer contestants literally followed the pace this season, this confectionery creature took things to literally new heights by recreating P’s iconic “Glitter in the Air” aerial performance! nk at the 2010 Grammys. Although her rehearsal accident mentioned above almost ruined her chances even before his season was fully underway, her triumphant recovery on the main stage proved that she has everything to be the final champion of this season. Judge Ashley Tisdale praised the “winner’s attitude” of cotton candy, and Ken called this “the most beautiful presentation I’ve ever seen in a Masked exposure.”
The clues: She is a “perfectionist” and a “child witch” who moved to a new family in order or pursuing her showbiz dreams – a childhood experience that she found traumatic. We also saw a traditional English breakfast, three-pound dumbbells and lip-print cupcakes.
Judges’ guesses: Jenna Dewan, Kylie Jenner, Julianne Hough and even the P! Real nk.
My guess: Julianne fits the bill. In addition to being a professional who knows how to avoid and / or recover quickly from an injury, she was sent to study dance in England as a child. The small structure of Cotton Candy also suits Julianne.
The laziness
Preguiça brought comedy during his ’80s aerobics routine for the romantics’ “What I Like About You”, using a support dancer as a human weight for his biceps and faking a Redd Foxx-style heart attack while running on a treadmill . There was a lot to like about this stupid performance.
The clues: We saw a badge with the initials “DR”, the number 13, fire and a tube of GLEEM toothpaste (with the letter M blocked). He mentioned a serious childhood accident and said, “People talked to me dirty and dirty and said I was just a Mickey Mouse operation” Other verbal cues were the phrase “call the feds” and the word “Broadway” with a strange (and probably fake) Transylvanian accent.
Judges’ guesses: Matthew Morrison, Taye Diggs, Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Derulo, Kevin Federline.
My guess: Many of the clues point to Playing with fire rapper K-Fed, ex-professional dancer and ex-husband of Mickey Mouse Club star Britney Spears. But I’m going with the Broadway actor, the “I Wanna Be on Glee” singer and the Disney fanatic, Todrick Hall. Todrick is Taylor Swift’s best friend (whose lucky number is 13); “DR” may represent another reality show on which Todrick appears regularly, RuPaul’s Drag Race; and the story of being scorned is reminiscent of his revenge song “F **”. Todrick is also a complete ham that managed to escape this kind of crazy routine.
The zebra
This striped star jumped in “Magalenha” by Sérgio Mendes and worked that fringe in black and white during his fun salsa performance – so much so that the judges almost guessed that he was a true pop star of Latin music.
The clues: We saw a silver medal and a hot dog, and we heard a ton of lyrical boy band references that made it look like this could be someone from One Direction, New Kids on the Block or Backstreet Boys. He said he’s been out of the picture for a while, but “even the president” knows his name and is ready for his “return” and “second act”. He also said that he had a difficult growth and had a “heartache”.
Judges’ guesses: Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias, Marc Anthony, Pitbull, Kevin Richardson.
My guess: I don’t think he’s a Latin singer or a boy bander. I think this is Clay Aiken (“sore”, understand?), Who was in The Celebrity Apprentice with President Trump (in which he obtained “silver”, the second place, just as he did in american idol) Clay hasn’t released an album in nine years, but he definitely had a second act as a politician. I hope to be right, because I would love to see Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, and Clay Aiken all together on television the same night. Maybe Clay could get back to second place again!
The moth
It was clear that this winged creature is not a trained dancer, but she moved well during her “Boot Scootin ‘Boogie” dance. Paula called her “natural” and described her performance as “real”.
The clues: She accidentally stumbled upon fame, after making headlines due to a presidential scandal; the experience changed his life forever, but the self-described “survivor” used his platform to illuminate important issues and help others. We also saw a box of torn and discarded clothes and a board, and the message “Word Up! track was “inspired”.
Judges’ guesses: Megan Kelly, Monica Lewinsky, Marla Maples.
My guess: Monica may be very obvious, but the clues Does add. She became a #MeToo overt and cross-bullying activist, and the packaged second-hand clothes could be a reference to her infamous blue dress (or her short career in fashion design). In addition, Monica has masked reality experience on TV: let’s not forget that she introduced Fox’s Mr. Personality in 2003!
