My Three Current Favorite TV Singing Competition Shows

 

The Masked Singer from Fox currently on its 6th Seasons

Singing Competitions TV shows had been popular for decades. I have watched them all from American Idol, The Voice, Song Land, The Masked Singer and the most recent one from Fox, Alter Ego.  Currently my three favorites are: The Voice, The Masked Singer and Alter Ego. In case you have not been watching these shows here are brief summaries of the three shows from Wikipedia.

 


1. "The Voice" started in 2011, and the 21st season premiered on September 21, 2021. It is a broadcast from NBC.

The Voice is an international reality television singing competition franchise. It is based on the reality singing competition The Voice of Holland, which was originally created by Dutch television producer John de Mol and singer Roel van Velzen. Many other countries have adapted the format and begun airing their own versions since 2010. It has become a rival to the Idols franchise, Rising Star and The X Factor. As of 2020, the franchise is owned by ITV Studios.

2. The Masked Singer (abbreviated as TMS is an American reality singing competition television series that premiered on Fox on January 2, 2019. It is part of the Masked Singer franchise which began in South Korea and features celebrities singing songs while wearing head-to-toe costumes and face masks concealing their identities. Hosted by Nick Cannon, the program employs panelists who guess the celebrities' identities by interpreting clues provided to them throughout each season. Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke appear in each episode and vote alongside an audience for their favorite singer after all perform. The least popular is eliminated, taking off their mask to reveal their identity.

The winners of the first five seasons were T-Pain as "Monster", Wayne Brady as "Fox", Kandi Burruss as "Night Angel", LeAnn Rimes as "Sun", and Nick Lachey as "Piglet", respectively. To prevent their identities from being revealed before each prerecorded episode is broadcast, the program makes extensive use of code names, disguises, non-disclosure agreements, and a team of security guards. While considering it more positive than other reality television shows, television critics have had mixed reviews for the series and particularly negative opinions of its panelists. The costumes, however, have attracted praise. Inspired by haute couture, they are designed by Marina Toybina and custom-built by a team ensuring the celebrities can sing clearly while wearing them. In recognition of the costume design, Toybina won a Costume Designers Guild Award and a Creative Arts Emmy Award. Other production staff have won or been nominated for various labor union awards, and the show received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Competition Program.

The series has received the highest Nielsen ratings for a non-sports program in the adults 18–49 key demographic each television season it has aired. Two spin-offs—an aftershow and a dance version, The Masked Dancer—have followed as a result. The growth of the Masked Singer franchise has been credited to the show's success, as has an interest in adapting similar South Korean reality television series and other television formats centered on costumes. In May 2021, Fox renewed the show for a sixth season which premiered on September 22 and 23, 2021. 


3. Alter Ego is an American music competition game show that premiered on Fox on September 22, 2021. The series is hosted by Rocsi Diaz.

The premise of the show is that the contestants sing backstage while motion capture technology creates digital avatars that appear in their place.

On May 17, 2021, it was announced that Fox had ordered the series, with Matilda Zoltowski as executive producer. On July 16, Rocsi Diaz was announced as host of the show, with Alanis Morissette, Nick Lachey, Grimes and will.i.am serving as judges. On July 26, it was announced that Alter Ego would premiere on September 22, following the sixth season premiere of The Masked Singer and a sneak peek episode that aired on September 12. On September 10, the contestants were announced.

Currently, I am enjoying all the three shows. If you enjoy motion capture technology and digital avatars, Alter Ego is a must watched show.
