"The Masked Singer": Who is the grasshopper on the ProSieben show?

Notification July 11, 2019:

The third episode of "The Masked Singer" runs on ProSieben - and it is still completely unclear who could hide behind the masks. Who is in the grasshopper costume?

The grasshopper comes on stage elegantly in a tailored green pinstripe suit, wearing extravagant patent leather shoes, golden gloves and a walking stick - a dandy with very fine manners. To do this, he moves gracefully across the stage. "I am the master of style," says the grasshopper about himself. Who can appear so distinguished?

In terms of cost, the grasshopper is my favorite. I'm curious. #themaskedsinger #themaskedsingergermany #ProSieben

Grasshopper at "The Masked Singer": Perfect shimmer of an insect

The insect man's costume is actually not that heavy at eight kilograms. It is kept very simple, but the individual parts fit perfectly. The costume designers worked meticulously on the very special style of the elegant insect: 40 different layers of airbrush and color were tried out and applied in 250 working hours to get the fine shades of color on the grasshopper mask.

"The Masked Singer": First grasshopper song "Just a Gigolo" in the video

Performance of the grasshopper in the first show: "Just a Gigolo" by Louis Prima. Super sung - and really cool moves. A singer? An athlete? Phew, hard to say. The jury sways between Boris Becker and Giovane Elber.

And what do viewers say on Twitter? For some it was immediately clear: "The grasshopper is Peter Fox!"

Others, on the other hand, combine the indications and come to a completely different result: Who attaches great importance to style and can prove that he can sing fairly well? Sure, that has to be ...

Jan Josef Liefers can sing well, has style and once played in a film with Boris Becker. He is Mr. Grasshopper. #TheMaskedSinger

Evidence of the grasshopper still puzzles

The evidence that the grasshopper reveals is very special - but who exactly does it apply to? The celebrity seems to have an affinity for tennis , maybe he's even a friend of Boris Becker ?

He probably has some connection to FC Bayern - at least there is a Bayern towel in the picture. And finally there is the allusion to Michael Jackson and his album "Thriller" : What does the typical Jackson glove on the shoulder of the grasshopper mean?

Second grasshopper song "Skyfall" on "The Masked Singer"

In his second performance, the grasshopper "Skyfall" from Adele sings - not an easy song, but the insect man masters it confidently and presents it in style. The jury speculates that this must be a professional vocalist.

Many Twitter users also see it like this:

The grasshopper is something like that from Gil Ofarim, but I stick with it, but the clues don't really fit? #TheMaskedSinger

Or is the grasshopper from "The Masked Singer" more of a successful athlete?

The tips that the grasshopper gives in the second episode reveal little about its true identity: "A life without movement - unthinkable for me" - that sounds like an athlete. The allusions to tennis, jumping and FC Bayern go well with this. A person who was successful at a young age - and who says that he can "call many awards my own".

A celebrity who enjoys staying undetected. "It's about the voice, not the story," he says in his perfect costume.

First celebrities exposed - viewers of "The Masked Singer" disappointed

Two celebrities have already been unmasked at the show: in the first episode, the octopus had to take off its mask - it revealed Luca Diakovska, the former singer of the "No Angels". In the second episode it caught the butterfly: Susan Sideropoulos.

There is a debate on the Internet about whether the two are really top-class stars: “First Lucy from the No Angels, now Susan Sideropoulos - ProSieben only hid the really big stars on the show. Not. #MaskedSinger # the usual suspects #boring, ”tweets a user. Another writes when unmasking the butterfly: "It is Susan Sideropoulus or as you call 95% of Germans:" Ha, who? ""

Apparently not a problem for the makers of the show, because the success so far ensures that "The Masked Singer" continues.

Puzzles continue at "The Masked Singer"

Nevertheless, many viewers continue to guess who could hide behind the masks. Some of the costumes particularly delight the audience: For example: Which celebrity is just in the astronaut suit? His singing regularly triggers goose bumps during the performances. Who sings so damn well? And who is the kudu?

And who is this cute little monster? It moves so awkwardly with its arms that are too long - you just have to develop sympathy. And then the angel with his deep, rocking voice - could a well-known comedian hide behind it?

A mask has to fall in every show - so everyone can cheer whether it hits their personal favorite.
