I'm certainly one to appreciate the talent that others have out there, but I do not see what the draw is for the show. Is it simply to find out who is The Masked Singer, is it to see who can go all the way? I'm genuinely asking because I know many folks who talk about and watch the show and I'd like to know more about the attraction.
Speaking for myself, mostly it is the music that appeals to me. I love music. Almost all types of music and there is a wide range of music. You never know what will be sung and perfomed next. I like the dancing along with the singing.
I also like the mystery of finding out who the costumed performer will be when they are eliminated. The masked performers hail from a wide range of entertainment and other venues (sports, tv, movies, etc.) and are not known just for their singing. I also like seeing the cute/weird/wild/ costumes. Some of them are beautiful and some are just plain funny.
I also like the host (Nick Cannon) as he does a great job each week. I like the judges and am familiar with some of them (Jennifer McCarthy, Robin Thicke) and Ken Jeong is new to me but he is a very, very funny guy. I like hearing their predictions and finding out if they are right or wrong.
Bottom line, the show makes me feel good and I enjoy it. I can not say that about very many tv shows these days.
