it would be hilarious if that gold mask didn't turn out to be luna. i'm confused about it too, sometimes she sounds like her sometimes she doesn't.

[lobotronic.livejournal.com]

I'm so convinced it's her that if it isn't.....I might cry.

If you're on a phone how can you see the reveals?

[kevinmchale.livejournal.com]

ummmmm it doesn't work there 💀

i'm just going to use spoiler cuts i guess...

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Sorry...Omona is blocked at work so all I have is my phone. I'm sure the formatting is lovely

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

thanks for this post op!

[springsky.livejournal.com]

OP, I would love to see more! My sis and I are really into this show. Also, you're post looks so pretty.

Hm I think I still don't get how this show actually works but I am here for more posts, OP :D

They've been playing around with the formatting (so I'm not sure if they've settled on a format), but I'll describe the most recent format (Ep.5?).
Each match is a head-to-head battle. The matches in the First Round are joint performances (in each match, two contestants take turns singing parts of one song--and are judged based on that). From Round 2 onwards, the contestants have solo performances in their matches.

After each match, the panelists and audience vote on whose performance they preferred. The contestants are then interviewed while the panelists try to guess who the masked singers are (this has no effect on the results, but it's sometimes interesting to hear their guesses). After the voting results are revealed, the winning masked singer moves to the next round and gets quickly escorted backstage. After a chat with the eliminated singer, they take off their mask in front of everyone (However, in the most recent episode, the eliminated masked singer gets to sing an encore song and midway through the song, they take off their mask).

The show uses a typical bracket elimination tournament format like so:

And the winner between the 8 contestants competes against the reigning masked singer champion and whomever wins that battle becomes the champion. The champion stays masked and comes back to defend their title against the winner of the next batch of contestants.
(sorry for this confusing explanation/OP, your post👏👏)

Love this show! I actually like watching the entire thing instead of clips since I get glimpses of the panels' thoughts on who the singer is and whether they're whatever age they think the singer is. Everyone kept saying Sandeul was a 35-40-year old pro singer and /definitely/ not an idol and I was giggling.

I've been watching this with my bf (no subs) and we love it! I can usually guess about 1/3 of the contestants. Especially this recent episode, I knew exactly who most of them were! aww yeahh. (you know you listen to too much korean music when...)

If you guys like this show, you have to watch "Show me your voice". so good!
