If you love watching real onstage performances, then there are reality shows like American Idol and many others. But there is one show on the FOX network that stands apart for its unique portrayal of singing performances. It is The Masked Singer. Well, let me tell you that it isn’t the original concept from America, but is adapted from South Korean culture.
However, people loved watching its first season two years ago in the United States. If you ask what is so special about this show, then let me tell you that it follows an interesting concept where celebrities take part in this competition without revealing themselves through donning colorful costumes and performing.
Celebrities can be male and female. And whosoever stands, at last, is declared the winner. Even the show did not get full positive views, as some did not like it so much. Still, it managed to garner the most searches on the Fox channel. Till now, there have been four shows released, and now expectations are on the release of the fifth season.
