Ready for another round of The Masked Singer? The popular reality singing competition has a panel of celebrity judges guess who the singer is under a wacky (borderline uncanny) costume as they perform some hit songs. Half the fun is hearing the voice behind the costume belt out with a shockingly decent singing voice. The other half is guessing who's behind the mask.
