For two celebrities it was over in the semifinals of “The Masked Singer”. An athlete and an actress lifted their masks.
In the semifinals of the sixth season of “The Masked Singer”, two celebrities got out of their costumes. The moment the covers fell was preceded by some guessing fun. The established advice team around Ruth Moschner and Rea Garvey was supported by musician Nico Santos on Saturday evening. These celebs unmasked on Saturday night.
“The Masked Singer”: six semifinalists left
Six semi-finalists were left, three of them competed against each other at the first appearance to determine finalist number one: The disco ball started with a rocking version of “Moulin Rouge”. Garvey would like it if Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock wore a disco ball costume, Moschner named singer Annett Louisan as an option, and Santos threw up singer LaFee as a possibility. Either way: The ProSieben viewers voted the disco ball straight into the final.
After the expressive appearance of the thorn devil, who performed “Dance With Somebody” by Mando Diao, Moschner suspected that there must be an actor under the costume, her favorite: Hannes Jaenicke. Garvey, on the other hand, said he heard a southern German accent in the Dornteufel, but then named the comedian, musician and Hamburger Olli Dittrich Dornteufel favorite. Santos, on the other hand, wavered between the actors Christoph Waltz and Uwe Ochsenknecht.
At the end of the first round, the zebra came on stage and sang “Teenage Dirtbag” by Wheatus. Moschner despaired when guessing: “The zebra sounded completely different again!” Santos’ assumptions Maite Kelly and Barbara Schöneberger commented on the zebra with a “nope”. Garvey’s idea, however, that it could be the actress Nora Tschirner, leaves the zebra uncommented – a clue?
Classics by Liza Minelli and the Backstreet Boys
The ork opened the second round of three with the song “Mein Herr” by Liza Minelli. Moschner suspected the moderator Michelle Hunziker or the Danish model Brigitte Nielsen to be behind the female voice. Santos had no idea, even talking to the orc in Spanish didn’t get him any further. Garvey, on the other hand, believed it could be Sibel Kekilli. The viewers will only find out in the finale, because the ProSieben viewers voted the orc directly into the finale.
The gorilla then performed “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys. Moschner could imagine both the professional soccer player Rúrik Gíslason and the actor Heiner Lauterbach. Due to the great dance performance, however, Santos said that Detlef D! Soost stuck in the gorilla costume. Garvey also found the gorilla to be a great dancer, but the more he moved, the more he moved, the more the sounds landed “left and right” – his tip: Klaas Heufer-Umlauf.
The starfish concluded the first round with the song “Starlight” by Muse. Garvey had no idea at all, but considered the starfish performance on Saturday evening to be the most successful of the season so far. Santos heard a “soul voice” that could belong to the influencer Bianca Claßen. Moschner considers the actresses Andrea Sawatzki or Esther Schweins to be possible, moderator Matthias Opdenhövel also brings up the viewer idea Katja Riemann.
This quartet is in the final
This left four costume candidates, of which the viewers voted against the gorilla. For the first time on Saturday evening it was said: Mask off! Under the hairy hood was Rúrik Gíslason, who was the number one tip not only for Ruth Moschner but also for the viewers. “Of course I’m not a singer, but I’ve learned so much,” the footballer summarized the experience on “The Masked Singer” and promises: “I’ll definitely continue singing.”
Afterwards the Dornteufel performed “Hold Me Now” by Irish singer Johnny Logan, the Seestern performed “Don’t Rain On My Parade” by Barbra Streisand, and the Zebra delivered the last performance with “Greatest Love Of All” by Whitney Houston at night. The starfish was able to get the fewest votes of the trio from the audience. The disco ball, the orc, the zebra and the thorny devil are in the final on Saturday, April 23, 2022. At the end of the semifinals, it had to be clarified who was under the starfish costume: The Bremen “Tatort” commissioner Jasna Fritzi Bauer: “I’m glad I was kicked out this week and not last, because this week I still have myself tried really hard once.”
