    Series 2 is starting on VM1 and ITV (with Dr. Ken gone) on St. Stephen's Day

    It's a weird celeb reality singing show but some surprising high calibre celeb talent on the US series

    Alien is 100% Sophie Ellis Bextor. The talking-singing voice gives it away.

    Mel B, they seemed to have upped the celeb music calibre acts for this season


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Sausage is Sheridan Smith.
    One of the judges guessed it.


    Jono clocked it.

    Martine McCutcheon was the Oustrich. Well done to whoever guessed that and Jonathan Ross too.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    They seem much better this year on the guesses or at least the producers are showing more of their correct answers.
    Sophie Ellis-Bextor was saying 3 of them knew it was her but they only showed one on the broadcast.


    Martine did very well to cover her voice when talking, we were convinced it was Michelle Visage.

    Ha, I actually meant Glenn Hoddle, I’d be explaining to the wife that he released a single with Chris Waddle! Damn it!

    Tonight is my first night watching this.

    The minute Blob started singing I immediately thought of Lenny Henry. I'm pretty sure he once sang on one of the Live At The Apollo shows.

    Yea I kinda think it’s David Walliams too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,262 ✭✭✭✭Autosport


    Ok I’m thinking Badger is Neyo :D I know that voice anywhere


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,144 ✭✭✭stargazer 68


    Harlequin- Anthea Turner? Only dip in and out of the programme so just caught this part


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,262 ✭✭✭✭Autosport


    Had no idea who Bush baby was so was quite surprised :)

    I’m loving it though :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,481 ✭✭✭✭Tauriel


    I think the Robin is either Niall Horan or Danny O'Donoghue and Harlequin is Emile Sande.

    I agree. I thought I recognised his voice. He's a good singer.

    Are ye saying Walliams mainly because Jonathan Ross said it?

    I'll be amazed if it's not Lenny Henry.
    I'm almost certain it's his voice.
    On the "blobs got talent" clue they gave; Lenny Henry became famous when he won a talent show called New Faces.

    I think the Robin is Aston Merrigold from JLS :)

    Yeah, I agree on this.
    Thought it might be the other fella that isn't Marvin Hume or the lad with the speed line in his head, as he did a CBeebies bed time story the other night. The Mrs pointed out Robin s a bit skinner so we settled on Aston.

    Jonathan Ross nailed the Bushbaby guess last week, I'd say he'd be disgusted he went away from it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    I think I've inadvertantly solved Viking.
    I thought it was a great rendition and went searching for other, acoustic versions of Take On Me.

    The blob is either Lenny Henry or David Walliams doing an impression of Lenny Henry and his characters from early TV shows. Not sure what the BGT and Matt Lucas reference is for, but the voice is 100% Lenny.

    Ah ya Morten Harket does a beautiful acoustic rendition of the song..but that would be a bit too obvious??


  • Registered Users Posts: 191 ✭✭weetiepie


    Harlequin- Anthea Turner? Only dip in and out of the programme so just caught this part

    Think its gabrielle...especially since a harlequin wears a mask..and she always had an eye patch? But the voice does sound like hers

    I’m convinced it’s Lenny Henry. I think there was also a hotel reference which could be the ads for Premier Inn. I’m loving this show - it’s really got me obsessed.

    It was the cleaning thing that made me think of Anthea Turner - she had a cleaning programme a few years ago.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,463 ✭✭✭✭blade1


    Harlequin is Gabrielle I think.

    Edit: Just spotted someone else said that as well.

    I hope it is for the sheer audaciousness of singing your own song!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,463 ✭✭✭✭blade1


    Here comes Lenny! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    I think Harlequin is Gabrielle too, age the voice by 15-20 years but if Rita Ora is insisting on Des’ree you’d have to think she’d know more (unless they’re editing another of her picks).


    I didn’t get the Lenny Henry for Blob but in the opening song it was a spoken line and it definitely sounded like him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Blobs clues pointing to Shakespeare ... Henry V. 100% Lenny Henry.

    We'll probably find out who blob is tonight.
    Poor enough.

    Yeah I think the gig is up.

    Lenny Henry has been mentioned tonight which I think Blob could be :)

    Did one of the judges say Lenny tonight?
    Only catching bits and spotted they had a pic of him up.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 24,118 Mod ✭✭✭✭robinph


    Think they were editing out the guesses as Lenny in previous weeks just to make it a bit less obvious. The voice can't be anyone else.

    Will have to be out this week as they showed the guess.

    Yeah, Davina did. Got decent support from the small crowd too.
    The thing is, I’m convinced the guesses are edited so they may all guess it but they’ll make it look like they don’t.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,262 ✭✭✭✭Autosport


    Aston Merrygold is sounding great tonight :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,262 ✭✭✭✭Autosport


    Badger sounds like Neyo and he wears Hats ;)

    I never have a clue though.

    I think Sausage is Stacey Solomon.
