The Masked Singer - Season 9 - ABBA Night - Recap

 

Time for another week of masked craziness on The Masked Singer.

Last week we saw Medusa reign victorious, and saw the unmasking of two legendary superstars.  Mustang aka Country Music singer Sara Evans, and Gnome, aka the Legendary Dick Van Dyke. 

Tonight, Medusa is back, along with new costumes; Night Owl and Rock Lobster.

Will Medusa outsing the competition again, or will a new king or queen come out on top? 

This week it’s ABBA night. Our three masked celebrities will sing songs by the world renowned group ABBA. I have no idea who picked this theme, but whoever did, they seriously need to lose their jobs. I get it, ABBA is iconic, but they’re so cheesy, and so boring. I don’t get the hype. 

The show opens with our panelists, obviously lip synching  to “Mama Mia.” Ok that was just pointless. But that’s what we get for

Being obsessed with this show I guess. 

 Nick Reminds us that one celebrity will reign supreme, and the other two will ne unmasked unless one of the panel rings the, “Ding Dong Keep it On,” bell. Where was this hell during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show?

Medusa - Dancing Queen 

Clues: Medusa was tearing up after the the panelists comments. Calls herself a softy. Ooh s picture of Chris Martin, “Did you get it, or are you getting colder?” Heh 

Performance: Okay, whoever Medusa is, they are definitely a professional singer. I’m not a fan of what she’s doing with the song. Way too much shouting and over singing. I know this is supposed to be a fun show, but show some damn restraint. 

Jenny calls Medusa her favorite contestant and admires her for switching up genres. Umm I don’t think she had a choice. 

Oh we have celebrities delivering clues tonight. Delivering Medusa’s clue is Bachelor Nation alum and podcaster Nick Viall. I guess Sanjaya wasn’t available? The clue is a first class plane ticket, flight number 1996 to Tokyo. Medusa says she’s taken a tour of the world, Wanna know where I’m from? Take a little look closer,” she says.”

Nicole guesses Tove Lo, then guesses Lorde. Robin guesses Apple Martin. What???? Ken guesses Dakota Johnson. No Ken! 

Medusa is probably either Fergie or Bishop Briggs. That’s at least who social media is saying. 

Night Owl - Fernando 

Clues: Broke records and topped charts at 18. Name checks paving the way for Britney, Christina, etc. Straight up triple threat. She’s drinking Long Island iced tea. An hourglass. Ooh she joined the masked singer with only 24 hours notice. 

Performance: Night Owl is definitely a singer. Her voice is very theatrical. It’s probably 80s icon Debbie Gibson. The panel starts saying they recognize the voice. 

Jenny says she was blown away, Robin said it was effortless and said you could tell she was a seasoned performer. 

Time for another celebrity clue. This time it comes from a kid dressed as Napoleon Bonaparte. The clue is a pack of bubblegum. Oh? 

Jenny guesses Debbie Gibson right off the bat. She knew the minute Night Owl opened her mouth. Nicole guesses Paula Abdul. Definitely not. Nicole also namedrops other pop stars it could be. Robin guesses Kylie Minogue. 

Rick Lobster - SOS

Clues: He’s been in movies and tv shows since, “we were kids.” Does 15 second dances daily for 15 million people. Weird and neurotic in school and got his fulfillment doing elaborate pranks. He was expelled from three different schools. Everything changed on a date. 

Performance: He can’t sing at all. It’s just a screaming mess. But I know that voice. I’d this isn’t Howie Mandel I’ll be surprised. He’s known for being a major germaphobe and has obsessive compulsive disorder. 

Nicole wants to have a drink after the show with Nicole. Oh, Shangela from Rupaul’s Drag Race delivers the clue. It’s a Gavel! There we go! Rock Lobster says he’s a great judge of character. Rock Lobster is moving across the stage like a crazy person.

Ken guesses Howie Mandel. Ken making sense??? The girls both think it’s Martin Short. Hell no! Robin guesses Steve-O.

Time for the results! 

The first person unmasking tonight is……Rock Lobster. 

Ok that was a no brainer. Definitely the worst. 

Ooh Nick says Rock Lobster definitely knows him. Mmhmm! 

Time for final guesses. Robin says Steve-O, Jenny guesses Martin Short, Nicole also guesses Martin Short. Ken guesses Howie Mandel.

Of course Rock Lobster is legendary comedian Howie Mandel!!!! It’s an AGT reunion! The friends hug it out. Aww he just wanted to do the masked singer to have fun. Aww

Battle Royale - Night Owl vs Medusa - Winner takes all 

Medusa: Despite the constant oversinging, Medusa is a better singer and performer than Night Owl. Man she’s a belter. She actually showed better restraint here which was nice 

Night Owl: I’m slightly surprised here. Night owl did a good job too. It could actually go either way.

The judges called the performance outstanding, so did Howie. Nicole said night owl was born to sing ABBA. Ken liked Medusa’s emotion.

Time for the final results,

Advancing to New York night is…..Medusa! 

Probably the rightful choice. 

This means we say goodbye to Night Owl.

Time for final guesses. Ken guesses Sarah Jessica Parker. Ummm no. Robin guesses Kylie Minogue, Nicole guesses Belinda Carlisle, and Jenny guesses Debbie Gibson.

And Night Owl is Debbie Gibson! 

Debbie knew if anyone was gonna guess her it would be Jenny. Debbie says it was the anniversary of her mom’s death 24 hours ago and got a call that someone had to drop out so she had no notice.

And with that, another show comes to an end. Next week is New York week. Should be fun.
