Surprising on television is one of the most difficult things that exist and that is precisely the strong point of Mask Singer, the Antena 3 contest in which a group of celebrities sing and compete hidden under masks and costumes that make it impossible to know who they are until they are eliminated and “beheaded.”
Antena 3 has presented the second season of this format that was a revelation and that will be back very soon with 15 new skins: Angel, Cactus, Crocodile, Dragon, Hedgehog, Flamingo, Kitten, Egg, Butterfly, Jellyfish, Girl, Little Monster, Dog, Banana and Frog.
At home, the public must try to guess who sings under the costumes, but on set Javier Calvo, Javier Ambrossi and José Mota will do it again and this season will be joined by actress Paz Vega, who was the winner of the first edition. Arturo Valls repeats as the master of ceremonies.
“We have gained in spectacularity and the level of difficulty of the tracks has been increaseds “, warn those responsible for the program, who promise even more celebrities to leave with their mouths open.
“We had to look for names that put the surprise on the faces of the researchers, they are people who steps out of your comfort zone to do this“, they explained and added that” this year we have entered the international world “, in relation to the nationality and origin of the famous under the masks.
As a clue about the identity of these new celebrities, Javi Calvo assured that they had had to “strengthen their English” and that “There are artists who have tried to deceive by putting accents”, advanced the researcher. “They are international figures,” added José Mota.
Faced with some slip-ups last year, when a representative of artists hinted that their represented were in the contest, measures have been taken to further protect the identity of the contestants.
“The issue of secrecy has been matured and reinforced so that the viewer plays in the most natural and without anyone gutting it and losing grace “, explain those responsible for the production company, Freemantle.
Among the novelties of this edition is the digital mask, which is an extra character that will play on Atresplayer (Atresmedia’s online platform). Her name is Dama Centella. Week by week tracks will be seen in Atresplayer and in the final gala a final summary will be revealed and he will act, to reveal his identity shortly after.
On the other hand, the fact of increasing the number of masks compared to the first edition will make it possible that three groups are formed that will fight a duel separately in the first galas of the edition.
In addition, the program will once again have new invited researchers in this new edition, that will bring new ideas to the fixed panel of the format, and with new invited masks, who will resolve their identity on the same day of their performance.
Researchers they have “fulfilled dreams” with the celebrities who have seen and have come up, as usual, the one that Javier Ambrossi most. “I myself sometimes go away worried and think ‘Javi, slow down ‘ that you have martyred Mota, “said Javier Ambrossi at the presentation, who assured that the casting was” twice as strong. “
Arturo Valls anticipated that the singing level has increased and that “the characters have appreciated the work of the coaching vocal of the team and what did they say ‘I didn’t know he sang so well’ and that contributed to our confusion “.
Paz Vega debuts as a researcher this season. “I really enjoyed being Catrina and I was thinking ‘how can they not discover me?’ But now on the other side I have realized that it is very difficult, because you get distracted by everything and guessing who is under the mask is almost impossible, “acknowledged the actress.
“It was very intense, I’m not used to not having a script“, he explained about his experience.
“My strengths as a researcher are that having been in both places I can intuit certain things, like the way you walk, how hard it is to move with the masks … “it said about his ability to guess.
A capacity that this year also has a prize, since the researcher who gets it right the most will win a trophy called ‘The golden binoculars’.
