The Masked Singer, episode 2: an actor was in a lobster...

In the second episode of “The Masked Singer” the lobster had to struggle out of its red shell. Jurors Ruth Moschner and Bülent Ceylan had previously strongly suspected that actor Jochen Schropp was hiding behind this. The show, which was sometimes slow due to the many commercial breaks, in which one also had to go through the music of “Scooter”, was then made by the appearance of the skeleton. It was really first class.

Behind the bee A good week ago there was actually no alleged celebrity who had already lived in 27 “Big Brother” houses and was “Vice Bachelor” of the year four times. No with Veronica Ferres One actually rose in the first episode of the new “The Masked Singer” season Actress from the German Oberliga from an insect costume. The expectations for the second episode? High!

“The Masked Singer”: Extended intro, Moschner pissed off

After an irrelevant long intro, the supposedly “best and craziest show in the world” started according to ProSieben. Nine masked people were still in the race and fought for a place in the third round on Tuesday evening. Three duels and a three-way battle were waiting. In the jury: Sonja Zietlow, Bülent Ceylan and Ruth Moschner. “Ruth hasn’t said anything and pissed me off“, someone over on Twitter opened the circle of comments.

Ceylan on the hippopotamus: “Shakira above, Reiner Calmund below”

In the first duel they went Hummer and the hippo. The red pincer performed “24K Magic” by Bruno Mars and didn’t do his thing so badly at all. Sonja Zietlow obviously saw it differently, as she actually imagined behind the lobster DJ Bobo.

Ceylan, in turn, brought the actor Jochen Schropp in the game. The hippopotamus, which is then in the classic “Purple Rain” von Prince tried, Ceylan even gave interim applause. The comedian also found the character “mega”: “Shakira above, Reiner Calmund below “, says the long-haired man from Mannheim. Zietlow, meanwhile, guessed singers Haddaway behind the “Happy Hippo”, as presenter Matthias Opdenhövel always calls the hippopotamus. And the hippopotamus actually seemed pretty happy when it came out on top against the lobster.

Alpaca performance: “Hopefully that was the last appearance”

It was a bit surprising that Ruth Moschner did not mention the stars and starlets with which she communicates on social media every day at the time of the format. The ancient Egyptian deity also surprised Anubisin the earthly ProSieben studio with “Legendary” by Welshly Arms knew how to impress vocally. Joko Winterscheidt, Elyas M’Bare, Oli P., Nino de Angelo – the jury threw names around now. The alpaca then delivered a clear alternative to what had happened so far and relined it Donna Summers “Hot Stuff” with a Abundance of crooked notes. For Ceylan, who recently misjudged the alpaca as a lama, it was still “a mega version”. “No matter who the alpaca is: that was hopefully the last appearance”, someone spat cheeky tones about the wrong llama on Twitter. As is well known, there is no arguing about taste. Still clear that one Anubis in the next round hob.

Moschner thinks Silbereisen and Fischer behind the “Erdpärchen”

This was followed by a three-way battle. No, actually a four-way fight, there the meerkat in pairs against frog and cat competed. The “Erdpärchen” plowed the Disney-Song “A whole new World”, whereby the meerkat lived up to its name and pretty underground performed. Thanks to his cute performance, the Erdweibchen was able to pull the cart out of the dirt again to some extent, which is why Ruth Moschner immediately up Florian Silbereisen and Helene Fischer had to type. Anyone who memorizes all the Wikipedia entries of all those Germans who have already been seen on television over a period of weeks for a show can also get confused. Ceylan guessed Daniela Katzenberger and Lucas Cordalis behind the earth couple.

Shock of the evening: the frog sings “Scooter”

Of the frog then packed worst party music and croaked through the oeuvre of ScooterSo there was a medley of Satire-Formation rund um H.P. Baxxter. “It has to be an entertainer. It is simply sensational“, but said Zietlow, who is apparently currently one Problem with the ears has and Wigald Boning suspected behind the green amphibian.

The cat again gave “The Show must go on” von Queen. Who is one of Freddie Mercury sung tracks always works Danger of falling off quite powerfully. After a Katzenjammer At the very beginning a vocal meltdown really lurked around the corner. The kitty somehow got the curve and on the bottom line did his job okay. Moschner immediately suspected “a big star” a la Vicky Leandros, Senta Berger or Iris Berben behind the cat masquerade. Zietlow also tended to do so and left the name Uschi Glas fall. “Erdmann family” and the cat were on. The Frog on the other hand had to tremble.

The highlight of the evening: the appearance of the skeleton

In the last duel they trilled Alien and skeleton against each other. While the former is somehow vocal about the song “Alien” by Dennis Lloyd cheated and, according to Sonja Zietlow, constantly scratching her bottom, the skeleton took care of that musical climax this Tuesday evening. His version of “Total Eclipse of the Heart”, the once rock and hit tube Bonnie Tyler to become famous, was absolutely formidable. “The skeleton is definitely the highlight of the show,” said someone on Twitter.

“That smells like Helene Fischer”, Ceylan brought the “Breathless” star back into play. This time, however, Moschner guessed Yvonne Catterfeld or Mandy Capristo, which perhaps only Moschner knows himself. Also Sarah Lombardi was called. However, all jurors agreed that it had to be a professional singer. Naturally won the skeleton the last duel of the evening.

“The Masked Singer” 2020: Jochen Schropp – a happy loser

The losers of all encounters of the evening – lobster, alpaca, frog and alien – now had to go before the final Spectator voting tremble. Ultimately it was that Hummer, after the thirtieth commercial break at the end of a very long program demaskieren and had to throw off his shell.

“It’s so awesome. It’s an amazing experience of course. The only thing I’m really looking forward to now is that I can spend more time in the fresh air again, “remarked the 41-year-old. Schropp performed his track again, now without a mask. “It’s so much nicer without a mask”According to Mime, who was apparently not too disappointed despite his departure and whose “topless” voice still made people wonder.
