Donny Osmond Reviews ‘The Masked Singer’ Season 2 — See What He Thinks of Each Week!

Week 1

On week 1 of The Masked Singer, professional gamer Tyler Blevins, better known by his online alias Ninja, was revealed behind the Ice Cream mask and voted off during the season premiere. He was accompanied by Johnny Weir, who was also unveiled behind the Egg mask and sent home on the first night.

Although the two men didn’t last long in the competition, Donny praised the YouTube star and the Olympic ice skater for stepping out of their comfort zones. “Tyler Blevins/@ninja, for not being a singer and completely out of your element, kudos to you for the effort. Great job,” he wrote for Tyler, while adding that Johnny he was a “great egg-xample of how to get out there and work it!⁣”

Donny’s Reviews of Episode 1

Butterfly Mask: “I think you’re going to be in this competition for a long time! Learn some of the dance moves with the dancers. You could win based upon what I just saw you do!⁣”

Thingamajig Mask: “Whoever you are, I love your voice. I hope you get an uptempo next time. I need to see you move, but you nailed Lionel’s song, dude!⁣”

Skeletonm Mask: “I know who you are. I’ve worked with you in the past and I know that voice. Great job, pal.⁣”

Ladybug Mask: “You gave it your all and I’m glad you survived. You have a lot of potential. Use your costume, baby! You’ve got a great one.⁣”

Rottweiler Mask: “You surprised everyone, including me. I didn’t expect that kind of a voice out of a sports figure. (I think). Dance more!⁣”

Tree Mask: “I love how you worked your outfit. You have an amazing voice. You confused everyone, including me as to who you are. I think the panel is way off though.⁣”

Week 2

On week 2 of The Masked Singer, Laila Ali, the daughter of late professional boxer Muhammad Ali, was unveiled behind the Panda mask. Although she was sent home, Donny had some encouraging words for the 41-year-old.

“#PandaMask/@thereallailaali, I’m sorry you didn’t last longer,” he wrote on Instagram following episode 2 on October 2. “‘Stronger’ was the perfect song choice for you because, even though you were unmasked, you will always be the undefeated four-time world champion boxer. I believe we met when your dad came to my show in Tempe back in 2012. It was an honor to meet him, and it sure was everyone’s honor to hear you sing last night. Great job.⁣⁣⁣⁣” Wow!

Donny’s Reviews of Episode 2

Black Widow Mask: “You’re brave to tackle a Whitney song, but you nailed it! Great job my friend, whom I haven’t seen since college. Yes, I think I know who you are.”

Leopard Mask: “I, too, thought you were a woman until you started to sing, and then I realized you are a man. Then you spoke, and I started thinking you’re a woman again. But during the smackdown, I changed my mind. I feel just like @kenjeong … I’m so confused. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣”

Flamingo Mask⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣: “You probably made the @jonasbrothers very proud with the way you sang ‘Sucker.’ I’ll do a duet with you any day, baby. I have no idea who you are, but I’m sure going to find out!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣”

Week 3

During week 3, Dr. Drew Pinsky was revealed to be the Eagle! After the reality TV star was sent home, Donny offered fans some insight on the episode that was “filled with unexpected turns and surprises.”

“#EagleMask/@drdrewpinsky, I had no idea it was you,” the crooner wrote on social media. “My hats off to you for even trying, but to be honest, Meat Loaf is probably crying after that performance. You certainly worked the stage though. I’ll give you that much.” LOL!

Donny’s Reviews of Episode 3

Flower Mask: “I was worried until about the last 15 seconds of that performance. You blew me away at the end. I know I’m going to sound like a broken record here, but PLEASE work the costume more!⁣”

Penguin Mask: “You could have done so much more with that song, but for some strange reason that I can’t quite explain, I liked it. I wish you would have given the same energy and performance you gave during the Smackdown. Now that was amazing!⁣”

Fox Mask: “Yes! Now that’s what I’m talking about! Great performance. The Fox can sing! I think you’re going to last for a while, dude.⁣”

Week 4

During week 4, the Skeleton Mask was sadly sent home, revealing Canadian singer Paul Shaffer. Following the conclusion of the latest episode, Donny — as promised — took to social and dished his best advice.

“#SkeletonMask/@thepaulshaffer, great job my friend,” he sweetly wrote. “Way to go! You did a great job. Tell EG I said hi.” Aww!

Donny’s Reviews of Episode 4

Flamingo Mask: “Amazing performance. You were the only one last night that really used the costume to its fullest extent. Of course ‘Footloose’ helped. 😉 You made an 11-year-old Flamingo proud. Have you met the Leopard?”

Blackwidow Mask: “I love your costume and I love your voice. I thought I knew who you are, but you really threw me off the trail with the way you sang that song last night. You never had that kind of voice in College!”

THINGAMAJIG Mask: ⁣⁣”You mesmerized me with the way you sang ‘Rainbow.’ I had to watch your performance over and over again. You nailed it! I hope you stay in for a long time. You have an amazing voice dude!⁣⁣”

Butterfly Mask: ⁣⁣”YOU ARE MY FAVORITE! What a way to sing ‘Livin’ On A Prayer.’ You did some things at the end of that song that were just downright amazing. I think the panel is WAY OFF. Whoever you are, you’re gonna last a long time! You have everyone stumped — including me.”

Week 5

Week 5 was filled with a lot of twists and turns considering it was a double of everything — including the eliminations of the Penguin, who was revealed as Sherri Shepherd, and the Black Widow, who was unveiled to be Raven-Symoné — both ladies having previously been The View cohosts. Although they were unmasked during the latest episode, Donny commended them for doing their very best.

“Penguin Mask/Sherrie Shepherd, you did a very respectable job. Very entertaining. Great job, Sherri. It’s a fun show to be on, isn’t it?” the proud pal wrote. “Black Widow Mask/Raven Symone, I knew it was you. You did a wonderful job, despite a broken arm. I wish you could have lasted a little longer. For those of you who have read my clues in the past, I said that the Black Widow and I went to college together. We did the movie, College Road Trip together. That’s why I was so sure it was Raven.” So cute!

Donny’s Reviews of Episode 5

Rottweiler Mask: “Dude, the dog can SANG! @robinthicke said he’s @rokspics. I know Brian, and I don’t think it’s him. Now Rottweiler, listen up… you moved a little bit more last night than past performances, but I don’t consider what you did last night dancing. If you want to win this thing… dance Dawg!⁣”

Ladybug Mask:⁣ “I am completely at a loss with this one. I will say, however, you have improved since the last appearance. You have more confidence this time around, and you nailed @lizzobeeating’s song!”

Tree Mask: “Kudos to you for attacking an #ArethaFranklin song. You really are one of my favorites so far. I hope you last a long time.”

Flower Mask: “I’m going to use my experience on #DWTS and give your performance a number … I was going to give you a 5 until I heard the last couple of notes. I’ll push it to a 6. That’s all. I would have gone higher, but you just aren’t using the stage and your costume!⁣”

Fox Mask:⁣ “THAT’S HOW YOU DO IT! If this were the last show, you would win this whole thing — hands down! I love that song from @panicatthedisco, and you more than nailed it. But even beyond your stellar vocal, you worked the mask, you worked the stage, you worked the attitude without even seeing your face. The Fox came to life last night. I love watching the Fox on @FoxTV!”

Thingamajig Mask: “@kenjeong said that you’re his favorite. I do love your voice, but Thingamajig, you need to dance more. You’ve got Swag. I know you do. I’ve watched your body language in past performances. You’ve got it. Use it!”

Butterfly Mask: “I LOVE the butterfly! That’s all I need to say. Period! PS. @nicolescherzinger and @jennymccarthy are right.”

Leopard Mask: “I don’t know why I’m saying this, but the Leopard captured me with his vocal and theatrics. I know I may be wrong with this, but he sounded like @seal last night. Go back and listen to that performance. I’m sure you’ll agree with me. If it is him, he’s amazing!”

Flamingo Mask: “Wow! Fabulous performance! When #TheMaskedSinger first started last January, I started it all off with a song from #TheGreatestShowman. If I’m not mistaken, you are the only other singer, besides me, to do a song from that movie on The Masked Singer. Whoever you are, I’m honored to be on that list with you.”

Week 6

As week 6 came to an end, the Ladybug contestant was revealed to be Kelly Osbourne following her performance of Bonnie Tyler‘s “Holding Out for A Hero.” Despite her boot from the singing competition, Donny commended his fellow Dancing With the Stars competitor.

“#LadybugMask/@kellyosbourne, I thought you did a great job,” the singer wrote. “Last time I saw you, I was competing against you on @DancingABC. You were awesome, Kelly!⁣” Aww!

Donny’s Reviews of Episode 6

Fox Mask: “If you don’t win this competition, something is wrong. Your performance was out of this world! I think I know who you are. I first fell in love with your talent on ‘Which Chinwag Does It Belong To Anyhow?’ WB [Wayne Brady], you are amazing my friend. Last time I saw you was on the Century City Mall escalator. Remember? Great job my friend. (If it’s you, that is).”

Flower Mask: “I know that voice. Your name is Cake Sticker. One member of the panel is right on!⁣ I think you are so talented. I just wish you would use the costume more.”

Tree Mask: ⁣”I’m sure you made @MeghanTrainor very proud with the way you sang that song! I thought I knew who you were, but the ‘soup clue’ absolutely stumped me. I have no idea. ”

Rottweiler Mask: “Dude, you captivated me. I don’t know who you are, but as I watched your performance I said to myself, ‘He gets it!’ This whole show is about not only singing well, but using your costume because your face is hidden. I’ve been there when the producers wouldn’t allow me to have dancers to keep the visuals exciting. My peacock costume was all I had to convey my emotions. For a moment I forgot you had a mask on. I caught myself thinking I was actually watching a very talented Rottweiler sing his tail off. Great work, whoever you are. ”

Week 7

Following the conclusion of week 7, Donny took to Instagram to console Patti LaBelle after she was sent home and unmasked as the flower. Even though the legend was kicked off the singing competition, Donny made sure to let her know how much she killed it.

“#FlowerMask/@mspattilabelle, you did a great job. Your amazing voice gave it away, but the perfume clue was a dead giveaway for me,” he wrote. “⁣@nickcannon said you’re in a class of your own. You certainly are. Thank you for gracing #TheMaskedSinger stage.⁣” So sweet!

Donny’s Reviews of Episode 7

Flamingo Mask⁣: “My dear Lady Marmalade! Baby … you are fantastic! What you said after your performance really made me a fan. And your voice was amazing! You brought attitude to the stage and worked that costume. All of the competitors who are still on … take note of the Flamingo! You certainly made this 11-year-old Flamingo proud. I mean Peacock. You know what I mean.”

Leopard Mask: ⁣”Nope! Not this week, but that #EWF song is one of my favorites. In fact, I danced to that song on my first night of Dancing With the Stars. But you’ve got to do more than just wave your hand through it. Sorry, not a great performance at all. But the way you moved during the smackdown — OK! That worked.”

Rottweile rMask: “You’ve got to be @chrisdaughtry. The #BoxingDay clue gave it away. For those of you reading this … think about it. ’79. I’m sure you made @brunomars proud with that performance. I just wish you danced more. ⁣I can hardly wait until next week!”

Week 8

Donny was, to say the least, shocked when The Masked Singer judges announced the Butterfly Mask would be eliminated from the competition. Moments later, Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams was unveiled behind the intricate costume. Following Michelle’s elimination, Donny shared some comforting words.

“ButterflyMask/@MichelleWilliams, how in the world did you get booted? That seriously makes me so mad. Thingamajig did do a good job against you on the #Smackdown, but you shouldn’t have been put in that position in the first place,” the fellow crooner passionately wrote. “Not only is your voice flawless, but you really became the Butterfly in every moment you were on camera. Even just before you were unmasked, you stayed in character. You were one of my favorites. I’m really upset about this decision. What were the judges thinking? If I were judging, you’d still be on. I’m going to miss that voice of yours.” So nice!

Donny’s Reviews of Episode 8

Thingamajig Mask:⁣ ⁣”If I were a judge, I’d say your singing was really good, but your walking was the thing that caught my eye because that’s all you did. Sorry. Not my favorite performance, Thingamajig. Here’s some advice… with a song like that, NEVER walk on 2 and 4. Not cool! That means you’d clap on 1 and 3. Really not cool.”

Tree Mask:⁣⁣ “Singing that #BonnieTyler song was a brave move. ‘Total Eclipse Of The Heart’ requires an amazing amount of emotion and control. You, my dear, knocked it out of the park! Not quite the emotion that Bonnie gave it back in the ’80s, but you made it your own and nailed it. Great melody change with the high note too. I still don’t know who you are, but you worked the camera, you worked the audience and you worked the stage. Great performance!”

Stay tuned for Donny’s review of episode 9!

Week 9

Following the conclusion of week 9, Donny shared his review for Seal and Victor Oladipo. “Thingamajig Mask/@vicoladipo, even though I’ve constantly criticized you for walking around the stage and not really dancing, you do have an amazing voice,” he wrote. “Thank you for not only entertaining us on the court, but now as a singer too.”

He also commended British musician Seal. “Leopard Mask/@seal, you are one of my favorite artists. A true legend, indeed. I also thought your performance of ‘Big Spender’ was your best performance of the series,” the crooner gushed. “I’m sorry to see you leave. You’ve made this season extremely classy.⁣” So sweet!

Donny’s Reviews of Episode 10

Fox Mask:⁣ “You did it again. You nailed it perfectly! I’m back on track with you, WB! Jenny was right. You’re destined to be in the finals.”

Rottweiler Mask: “CD, you are giving the Fox a run for his money. It was a great vocal performance, but I just don’t think you have the stage presence that the Fox has. Nevertheless, it was a great performance. The finals are going to be really tough.⁣”

Flamingo Mask: “Wow! Just like @robinthicke said, you gave me chills! One of my favorite renditions of ‘Halleluja.’ You took us to church, baby! I think @jennymccarthy and @nicolescherzinger are correct. Great job, ABH!⁣”

Stay tuned for Donny’s review of the season finale on December 18!

Week 10 — Finale

When the dust settled on season 2, Donny took to Instagram to review the finalists — including winner Wayne Brady, runner-up Chris Daughtry, and third place finisher Adrienne Bailon.

“@mrbradybaby, congratulations on winning @maskedsingerfox season 2!” Donny penned. “You absolutely killed it, buddy! I watched every performance, and the #FoxMask was the most consistently strong performer. Your emotion and dedication were second to none. Phenomenal. 👏👏 For the record, I was 99.9% sure it was you from the get-go. 🦊⁣.”
