The Masked Singer became a reality sensation following its debut in January of 2019. The wonderful mix of performance art, music, and tantalizing guessing game has proved a winning combination, and it has garnered the show millions upon millions of dedicated viewers. Like American Idol and other musical competition shows before it, The Masked Singer has become a cultural phenomenon.
However, these dedicated viewers have their own opinions, and some of them are more popular than others. Like any other form of entertainment, fans of The Masked Singer hold some particularly unpopular opinions, whether that be about the judges, the contestants involved, the outcomes, or even just the general production of the show.
10 The Judges Are Fine
The judges are part of The Masked Singer’s identity. Unfortunately, it seems like many people don’t actually like them. Some people find their “reality TV show” personalities annoying, and others think they add nothing to the show. There is little to judge, and even when a contestant deserves criticism, the judges skirt around it and call them wonderful anyway.
Therefore, actually liking them has become quite an unpopular opinion. Reddit user DubNationAssemble holds this opinion, stating, “I kind of think the judges are fine for what the show is.”
9 Nick Cannon’s Fashion
Nick Cannon has hosted many shows, but The Masked Singer has proved his most stylish appearance. His wild sense of fashion is part of The Masked Singer’s charm, as it adds to the show’s colorful palette and wacky tone. Anticipating Cannon’s fashion choices is just as much fun as anticipating the celebrities behind the masks.
Unfortunately, not everyone loves it, including Reddit user FerociousSnugBear. They write, “Nick Cannon needs to stop dressing like a magician that slipped and fell into a bedazzler factory.” Sometimes, an outfit can be a little too loud and distracting – even if it’s for The Masked Singer.
8 “I Know Exactly Who This Is!”
Ken Jeong has an advanced degree, but he has earned his fame (and fortune) through wacky humor. He’s arguably the most famous judge, but his shtick is certainly an acquired taste. This includes his constant interjections of “I know exactly who this is!”, despite having no idea who it actually is. It was funny at first, but it has gotten on the nerves of many.
Countless viewers hate it, which makes lavoiegabrielle’s opinion so unpopular. As they knowingly write, “Unpopular opinion- never want Ken to stop saying ‘I know exactly who this is.’ It’s his thing now and I’m 100% here for it.”
7 Jenny Is A Great Judge
It seems like Jenny McCarthy is not well-loved by The Masked Singer community, and many viewers simply find her annoying. But others hold the seemingly unpopular opinion that McCarthy is actually a good and enjoyable judge. This includes FewActinomycetaceae9, who writes, “Jenny makes great guesses so I don’t mind her as a panelist.”
kagallo2005 is another fan of McCarthy, as they state, “Jenny is actually a really good guesser and not that annoying.” There certainly is no denying that McCarthy is an excellent guesser.
6 Flower
The second season of The Masked Singer saw Patti LaBelle as the Flower. She made it quite far and wildly impressed the judges owing to the strength of her voice, but she was eventually voted out in the eighth episode. Despite LaBelle’s legendary status as a celebrity and her undeniably strong vocals, some people didn’t enjoy her performance as the Flower.
As ShoddyPippen writes, “Flower wasn’t good. Obviously she can sing — she’s a legend — but she didn’t deserve to go any further than she did.” whats_that_do adds, “Flower seemed like she was kind of half assing it.” It brings up the age-old debate in regards to musical competitions: What is more important, voice or performance?
5 “Take It Off!”
Just like the best movie catchphrases, every reality show needs its own defining line. For The Masked Singer, that appears to be “take it off,” which is chanted every time a contestant takes off their headpiece. It’s a classic aspect of The Masked Singer, and enthusiastically chanting it is probably a lot of fun in person, but it gets on the nerves of some viewers.
As Reddit user Mrcrowley669 writes, “I wish they’d say something other than ‘take it off’, [it] sounds trashy.” It could be seen to sound a little trashy, but in the context of The Masked Singer, it is completely harmless – and even fun.
4 Avoiding The Internet
Part of the enjoyability of a show or movie is the discussion afterward. After viewing a particular episode of The Masked Singer, many people run to social media to share their opinions and guesses with other fans of the show.
The Masked Singer is a mystery show of sorts, and guessing identities is all part of the fun. However, Reddit user Blitqz21l avoids the internet at all costs, writing, “I completely avoid this sub during the season. I like to guess myself. If I come here, I’ll know who everyone is after their 1st performance and takes all the fun out of it.” That’s their opinion, and they’re free to do as they wish. But there’s no denying that the online component is a large component of the show’s enjoyability.
3 The Judges Know More
The “judges” aren’t actually judges. Really, they’re just glorified viewers who also happen to be famous and make public guesses. They likely don’t know the identities of the singers – Ken Jeong often makes wildly inaccurate guests (even if it’s his shtick), guessing is all part of the fun, and they don’t have the internet at their beck and call to suss out all the clues.
As lauralei99 writes, “The judges know more than they let on. They purposely make bad guesses and sometimes avoid making the right guess in order to keep it interesting.” It’s an interesting theory, but it comes across as little more than a conspiracy theory.
2 Too Many Professional Singers
Despite its quirky gimmick, The Masked Singer is a singing competition. As such, many professional singers appear on the show and go on to win. Unfortunately for some, this ruins the other gimmick of the show, which is learning that some non-music related celebrities can actually sing.
As Outside_Zombie8003 writes, “They have too many well known singers and not as many surprise-they-can-actually-sing contestants like Thingamajig or Jellyfish. I’m not shocked when a professional singer wins, I’d love to have someone I didn’t know could sing shock me by winning and being unmasked.” That would be nice, but it’s hard to implement. It’s difficult to find famous celebrities who can also sing, and even more difficult to find one who can sing better than the professionals. In all likely cases, the professional will win 99 times out of 100. And that’s exactly what we’re seeing.
1 Everything Is Staged
The Masked Singer may come across like a reality competition, but according to some Reddit users, the entire thing is rigged from the get-go. As farquad88 succinctly states, “It’s all staged.”
cashewbiscuit goes into further detail, explaining that “all the judges are fed guesses” and “the judges are told who to vote for…[and] the final winner is who the show runners decide.” Unfortunately, there’s simply no evidence to suggest that the judges are fed guesses or that the winners are pre-determined. It’s simply conjecture from a fan without any strong evidence to back it up.
