"The Masked Singer" 2020: Robot revealed - fans angry with the rate team

After a short break, "The Masked Singer" continued excitingly. In our live ticker for the fourth episode of the ProSieben show, you can read the notes, speculations and highlights again.

• After a two-week break, the ProSieben show "The Masked Singer" * returned last Tuesday.
• The guessing continued - now there are only five costumes left in the race *.
• The advice team , which was strengthened this time by Büllent Ceylan, was heavily criticized on the Internet.

Update from April 15, 9.45:  At yesterday's show of "The Masked Singer", many fans could not hide their disappointment after the robot was unveiled. Most users do not see the moderator Caroline Beil , who was hiding under the mask, as a  well-known celebrity. One user writes, for example, “Caroline Beil. Last media twitch according to Wikipedia: 2015 (Celebrity Shopping Queen) “. In fact, Beil is no longer seen on TV often, but in 2018 she performed on a musical tour with "Hammerfrauen". 

"The Masked Singer": Caroline Beil under the mask - fans don't freak out about it

So who really thought the #robot would be Helene Fischer doesn't have all the battens on the fence anymore! The woman throws 200 concerts live / year and can sing much better! #TheMaskedSinger

However, some Twitter users were more upset that the advice team was considering that Helene Fischer could be under the robot mask . The rate jury even noted that a "trained singer" was hiding under the costume. A user writes, “Whoever really thought the robot was Helene Fischer really no longer has all the battens on the fence! The woman throws 200 concerts live a year and can sing much better ”. Another made a similar statement and said, "But it's really an honor for Caroline Beil that they actually thought some were Helene Fischer". 

Stop with Helene Fischer as a robot. There is no professional under it, the vocals are not good enough for that. Why doesn't anyone hear that? # TheMaskedSinger # maskedsinger

Most users noticed that the singing was not professional enough, but not the rate jury, especially Comedian  Bülent Ceylan , who thought that he had recognized the pop singer and even committed himself to it in the end. He also repeated several times during the show that he knew Helene Fischer, which many Twitter users used as a template for further tweets. If only everyone were as attentive as the Twitter community.

Uhhh, Bülent knows Helene. Maybe he can say that five more times. #TheMaskedSinger

11:22 pm: This ends our today's ticker from "The Masked Singer". We thank you for reading and wish you a nice week. 

11:20 pm: With the unveiling of the robot, five participants are still left to fight for the victory at "The Masked Singer". The hare, whisper, chameleon, dragon and sloth are still in the race.

"The Masked Singer": unveiling of the evening - this celebrity is the robot

11:13 pm: With Carolina Beil as the reveal in the fourth episode, the fans of "The Masked Singer" are still waiting for a real mega star. A fact that many users on Twitter are angry with. "Actually great show, but the Z-celebrities are always disappointing," mocks a user. "Pro7 has spared no expense in getting celebrities that were known 10 years ago," writes another. 

Pro7 has spared no expense in getting celebrities known 10 years ago #TheMaskedSinger #MaskedSinger

23:07: In the end it was not Helene Fischer, but Caroline Beil, who was hiding behind the mechanical costume of the robot. The presenter and actress also has a good singing voice, which she was allowed to flaunt, especially in the first episode. 

11:02 p.m .: The mask of the robot falls and appears: Moderator Caroline Beil!

"The Masked Singer": Spectators make a decision - robots have to drop the mask 

11:00 p.m .: The jury's last tips. Moschner and Garvey stick to their tips Janine Michaelsen and Marta Jandova. And Bülent Ceylan? He guesses Helene Fischer . The audience - the fourth rate team member - guesses Jas min "Blümchen" Wagner.

10:57 pm: Who follows the whisper into the next show? The chameleon is also on! The robot is eliminated and is now revealed. 

10:56 p.m .: The first participant for whom the tremor is over is the Wuschel. He will be in the next show again!

10:53 pm: The final countdown is over. The decision as to who will be unmasked today has been made and only needs to be announced. What does the rate team think? Bülent Ceylan predicts that the chameleon will leave. Ruth Moschner also believes in the chameleon and Rea Garvey? He agrees with the previous speakers. The rate team has agreed unanimously. 

"The Masked Singer": All appearances over - Which participant will be unmasked today?

8:44 pm: The appearance of the chameleon was also the last of the evening. The big decision is now imminent. Who will leave today and have to reveal their identity?

10:35 p.m .: The third in the Bund is the chameleon, which has established itself as a great show master with  "The Masked Singer" . And the chameleon knows how to fire up his second song too. "Daddy Cool" by Bonny M. is the song of his choice. In his live announcement, the chameleon suddenly speaks French and indicates the actions of an air traffic controller. That gives Ruth Moschner an idea. Comedian Paul Panzer says she has a ticket. Could the comedian be behind the costume? Bülent Ceylan still believes in Didi Hallervorden .

10:28 p.m .: The second participant in the jump-off is the Wuschel. Adorned with a bow, he is very melancholy and sings "Naked" by James Arthur. "I've just become a fan," says Rea Garvey. The Wuschel brings a live note: a Carrera cable car. That immediately suggests Garvey to Wincent White . Bülent Ceylan and Ruth Moschner join the previous speaker.

10:20 p.m .: The rate team can again give tips. Ruth Moschner guesses presenter Janine Michaelsen . Rea Garvey on singer Marta Jandova and Bülent Ceylan? That stays with singer Jasmin Wagner.

"The Masked Singer": The decision is made - viewers get three more songs

10.15 p.m .: We are getting closer to the decision of the evening. Wuschel, chameleon and robots will all do another song, then the audience will decide on the progress. The robot performs and sings "Arcade" by Duncon Laurence. It is quite possible that it could be the robot's last appearance. 

22:08: Who wins the duel of the giants? It is quite possible that we will see both participants in the next round. However, one of them still has to tremble and that is the chameleon. The sloth moves into the next round and slowly but surely turns into the title favorite.

10:00 pm: Musically, the sloth has a reggae version of the song "Lemon Tree" by Fools Garden. In the middle of the song the style changes and reggae becomes classic rock'n'roll. "This is Elvis Presley," Bülent Ceylan jokes. Ruth Moschner guesses Dick Brave, the alter ego of singer Sasha . Rea Garvey knows Sasha well and therefore does not believe that it could be him. The Irishman could imagine singer Giovanni Zarella . 

"The Masked Singer": Duel of the giants - Stefan Raab against Didi Hallervorden?

9:49 pm: The chameleon is facing the sloth this evening. Many TV Total moderators Stefan Raab still suspect this . Hints are also collected on Twitter. For example, a user wants to have recognized a red phone again. 

Did you see the red telephone?
At Schlag den Raab there was a red telephone on which calls were made when something was wrong.

He is it!! #Raab #TheMaskedSinger

9.44 pm: “World class” cheers Ruth Moschner and the rest of the rate team is also enthusiastic. "It's the show's biggest puzzle," says Rea Garvey. However, the singer does not believe that it is Hallervorden. Ruth Moschner does not bet on Hallervorden either, but rather on someone who can imitate him well: the comedian Max Giermann . Bülent Ceylan goes “all in” and believes that it must simply be comedy legend Didi Hallervorden .

9.40 p.m .: The third duel of the evening is perhaps the most spectacular. The chameleon competes against the sloth. Didi Hallervorden was suspected by the jury and spectators of the former . Behind the latter, moderator legend Stefan Raab. The chameleon performs and sings "Azuro" by Adriano Celentano.  

9:37 pm: The spectators have decided and send the kite on a round. So today we hear another song from the Wuschel. 

"The Masked Singer": Did the fuss reveal itself by this answer?

9.30 p.m .: The rate team has another question for the Wuschel. What does he say that the Bild newspaper writes that he is the singer Wincent White? "When I read this, I started fireworks," said Wuschel. A note? Because “Feuerwerk” is also a song by  Wincent Weiß .

Ok, now he has given himself away. "... there was a FIREWORK of emotions in me." -> Fireworks from Wincent Weiss #TheMaskedSinger

9:17 pm: Now the complete change of style. From the brute kite it goes to the cuddly whisper, who knows how to inspire with a real dance classic: "She'sa Maniac" from the film Flashdance. What do the rate team members type? Bülent Ceylan has a very absurd idea and guesses that two people are behind the fuss. The YouTube twins  "The Lochis" . It's hard to believe that there is room for two people in the costume. Meanwhile, Ruth Moschner guesses moderator Joko Winterscheid and Rea Garvey? He also thinks of a YouTuber: Julien Bam. 

9:04 pm: The second duel of the evening follows immediately. The dragon competes against the fuzz. The dragon presents and acts cryptically in his player. What will he do musically for the best? The answer is: "Somewhere only we know" by Keane and what does the jury say about this appearance? Ruth Moschner believes to have “cracked the code”. Her tip: Max Giesinger . Rea Garvey thanks for the great performance and is pretty sure: Gregor Meyle is the dragon. Bülent Ceylan agrees with the previous speaker and also taps Gregor Meyle. 

"The Masked Singer": sports star or comedian? Rabbit surprises the jury and moves on to the next round

9:00 p.m .: The first decision of the evening is imminent. Who will make a round. Bunny or robot? Rea Garvey believes the robot will progress, while the other two members of the rate team believe in the rabbit - and are supposed to be right. The rabbit is one round ahead. So we hear the robot a second time today.  

8:52 pm: While ProSieben is advertising, we take a look at Twitter. Tips are also given there diligently. A user suspects the German mother of punk behind the rabbit costume: Nina Hagen. Many other users also think of the singer. However, other users suspect the moderator Sonja Zietlow behind the fluffy costume. Maybe we'll hear another song from the rabbit today.

8:45 pm: The hare's appearance follows. He sings "Big Spender" by Shirley Bassey. To the enthusiasm of Rea Garvey, who probably found the performance very successful. Who is the jury guessing? Ruth Moschner thinks again of comedian Martina Hill . Bülent Ceylan goes in a different direction and taps on swimmer Franziska von Almsick . Rea Garvey is visibly without ideas and ends up tapping on Natascha Ochsenknecht.

"The Masked Singer": First duel of the evening - robot competes against the rabbit 

8:39 pm: When does the rate team suspect behind the robot? Bülent Ceylan begins and shows himself divided in his assessment and is of the opinion that the robot does not fit Helene Fischer in size. In the end, he guesses Jasmin Wagner aka. Little flowers . Moschner suggests that she could imagine Helene Fischer, but in the end - just like Rea Garvey - doesn't make a tip.

8:34 pm: The robot puts up against the rabbit and sings "Titanium" by Sia. After importing the robot, Bülent Ceylan muttered "That's Helene". However, the voice does not sound as clean as that of the Schlager Queen. "It was so perfect," says Ruth Moschner, and Rea Garvey is also certain that the robot is a professional singer. 

"The Masked Singer": New rules for the duels - that's why there are more songs today

8.30 p.m .: The winner of the duel moves directly to the next show as usual. But the losers of the duels are different in this episode. The three losers will play a second song before the audience can choose who will be revealed tonight. 

8:27 p.m .: While Bülent Ceylan changes again and takes off his costume, Opdenhövel presents the duels of the evening. At the very beginning there is a duel between the two remaining women. The robot competes against the rabbit. 

8:21 pm: And the angel is suddenly backstage. The costume Bülent Ceylan was allowed to wear last season. Exactly that sits as a guest in the rate team today. And Bülent Ceylan actually comes on stage in his old costume and again gives his very rocking version of Helene Fischer's number one hit "breathless". That is a surprise to the debut. "In the version it would have been a hit," jokes moderator Matthias Opdenhövel.

8:20 p.m .: At the beginning, the six remaining costumes are presented in a short one-player play. The rabbit guides the program as a moderator and introduces all participants. 

"The Masked Singer": Episode four begins - Who will be revealed today?

Update 8.10 p.m .: It's done in Cologne. The fourth episode of "The Masked Singer" is about to begin !

Update 7:50 p.m .: At today's show, it is probably worth listening to the robot more closely. Because many fans suspect none other than Schlager megastar Helene Fischer behind the tinny diva. After the really big stars behind the masks are still waiting in the second season, a celebrity of the caliber of the Schlager Queen would be a small sensation. So be particularly careful today when the robot takes  the stage. 

Update 7.42 p.m .: In many German households the drinks are already cool and the snacks ready, then in less than half an hour the fourth episode of the successful show "The Masked Singer" begins  . After the break caused by the corona virus, families gather again on Tuesday evening to puzzle in front of the television. 

"The Masked Singer": Show returns from a break - Has this candidate betrayed herself? 

Update 18:38 : There are also many rumors about identity with the sloth. The unveiling of the cozy contemporary, who has sung himself into the hearts of the audience since episode 1, is eagerly awaited from week to week. This is not least due to the well-known show master, who is suspected behind Hawaiian shirt and fur. For several weeks now, many Twitter users have sensed a little sensation behind the sloth's identity. None other than ProSieben legend Stefan Raab is to make his TV comeback on “ The Masked Singer” . 

Raab is also high on the ProSieben website, where viewers can give tips for the revelations. Almost 41 percent suspect that the moderator will take part in the show as a sloth. Comedian Mirco Nontschew is far behind in second place . Maybe the fans of "The Masked Singer" get a crucial clue to the sloth's identity tonight. 

"The Masked Singer" 2020: Gil Ofarim reveals - is this "Let's Dance" star behind a mask?

Update 17.17: Six secret identities are still to be discovered in the second season of  "The Masked Singer" . With robot and hare are two candidates in the race who are fighting for a place in the next round and the preservation of their identity. A live chat on Instagram now causes speculation among fans. Has a candidate given away here? The suspicion falls on professional dancer Ekat Leonova , who became known to a broader television audience through the TV show  "Let's Dance" . The 32-year-old danced there with Gil Ofarim , who caused a stir last year as a grasshopper for "The Masked Singer". 

In a live video on Instagram, Ofarim felt his dance partner's teeth. "I heard you were supposed to be part of The Masked Singer," said the 37-year-old. "I don't know," replied the dancer, embarrassed, but Ofarim didn't give up and wanted to know from Leonova where she would be around 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday evening. "I'm in Cologne," replied the 32-year-old and then tried to cover up her answer with a laugh. Because  "The Masked Signer" is also recorded in Cologne. Another indication of Leonova's possible participation is the fact that the 32-year-old is not at the start of the current edition of "Let's Dance". Maybe to have time for another live show.

"The Masked Singer": Show returns from a break - there was a third Corona case in the team

Update 4:47 pm: In just under three and a half hours, the wait has finally come to an end and  "The Masked Singer" is returning from the forced break. The six remaining singing talents will compete in three duels for the favor of the audience to move on to the next round. For fans of the costume show, the guilty fever continues after two weeks of abstinence. Even though there is much speculation about the identities of the participants, these have so far remained hidden. But also in the studio you can work hard again. 

Ruth Moschner and Rea Garvey are supported today by Comedian Bülent Ceylan in the rate team. Ceylan is very knowledgeable about  “The Masked Singer” . Last season the comedian was still on stage in the costume of the angel. 

Cologne - The Masked Singer fans had to wait two weeks for  a new episode. Due to three Corona cases in the team, the ProSieben show had to pause. Now it's back, on April 14, 2020 at 8:15 p.m. ProSieben * will broadcast the fourth episode.

Back again: moderator Matthias Opdenhövel * and regular team members Rea Garvey and Ruth Moschner, who are supported this week by Bülent Ceylan .

"The Masked Singer" 2020 in the live ticker: Which costumes are still there?

The shooting break did not stop speculation * - megastars like Helene Fischer and Stefan Raab are suspected to be under the costumes. Six masks * are still in the race:

• Chameleon*
• Sloth*
• Dragon*
• Wuschel *
• Hare*
• Robot*

"The Masked Singer" 2020: What did the costumes do during the break?

But what did the costumes actually do during the break? ProSieben clarifies this question in a video: The TMS stars are also doing home office , just like most of us. 

As it should be in the home office, the six remaining stars joined together in a video conference . And there the six "Masked Singers" do what they do: Wuschel rolls his eyes, the dragon plays the organ. Little can be derived from this for the fans.

"The Masked Singer" 2020: New tips in video call clip?

The rest of the costumes reveal more about themselves: Fauli sleeps on the video call. But he also trains with a barbell - if only for a few seconds until the next nap. The robot shows fans new moves in the home office and charges its batteries. The rabbit takes online singing lessons, does home workouts and paints eggs.

We really tried to connect with the chameleon in the home office ... Who knows these problems? Mask # MaskedSinger

A post shared by The Masked Singer Germany (@ masked.singer.germany) on Apr 9, 2020 at 9:00 p.m. PDT

And of course there is one colleague at “The Masked Singer” with whom the video call is difficult: It is almost impossible to communicate with the chameleon , because the old man under the costumes does not check the technology. And then connection problems make communication difficult . Hopefully tonight's fourth live show is going better for him!
