'The Masked Singer' season 9 reveals new costumes, themes, and big elimination twist

Meet the "Ding Dong Keep It On" bell.

THE MASKED SINGER

 

The new episodes will also feature the supersized twists first introduced last season, namely, a "Champion of the Masked Singer"-style competition with sudden elimination and double unmaskings in every episode. However, EW can reveal that, for the first time ever, panelists will have the opportunity to save a singer from looming elimination with the "Ding Dong Keep It On" Bell which can only be used once per group.

The show has also been given an updated stage design to incorporate the largest audience in Masked Singer history, who will once again be tasked with voting for their favorite masked celebrity performer. The singer with the least amount of votes will unmask mid-show, and the remaining two singers will face off in a Battle Royale performance, with the winner moving on to compete the following week, and the other contestant unmasking. It will all ultimately lead to three finalists left standing to compete in the semi-finals.

Another one of the fan-favorite season 8 twists is making a comeback in season 9 — themed nights — which will be weaved throughout the performers' song selections, costumes, celebrity guests, set design, and may even provide clues as to who is under the mask. This season's themes are set to include: "Abba Night," "New York Night," "DC Superhero Night," "Sesame Street Night," "'80s Night," "Movie Night," and "The Masked Singer in Space Night."

EW can also unveil the first look at three costumes — Gnome, Mustang, and Medusa. Check those out below.

 

These costumes join the previously announced Dandelion, Jackalope, Gargoyle, and California Roll.

Viewers can once again expect a starry lineup of guest stars to appear on the show, however, names are being kept under wraps for now. As they did last season, Thicke and Scherzinger are expected to return to the stage for a couple of special performances.

See how all the zany fun unfolds when season 9 debuts on Wednesday, Feb. 15 at 8 p.m. on Fox.

It is crazy that this show is coming back next week.  I'm kinda not ready for it but I'll get ready for it soon..... I have to, anyway.  

 

Ugh they are using the same format from last year? Not a fan of that as we barely get to know or connect with the masked singers.  

 

The "Ding Dong Keep It On" Bell twist does sound interesting though.

starting to get excited for this

oh no I hate that format, but at least it's still coming back

[jdanton2]

it is on.

[jdanton2]

Mustang was good.

[jdanton2]

Gnome did ok as well but not as good as Mustang.

[jdanton2]

Medusa was my least favorite.

[*Wallace]

I'm playing it back via DVR, so I'm about a half hour behind right now. But I'm watching and catching up.  

[jdanton2]

Gnome was 97 year old Dick Van Dyke

[*Wallace]

Gnome was definitely the weakest of this group. So I am sure Gnome would surely be eliminated.

 

Mustang was really good and a great way to open up the show. Medusa was insane though!  I was not expecting that performance.  A thought I have below:

 

For some reason, I'm getting Fergie vibes from her. I'm sure I'm wrong on this but that's just where I'm standing as her vocal reminds me of her. Hmm Nicole's guess on Lorde is interesting but I don't know about her having that kind of range.

[jdanton2]

Mustang was country singer Sara Evans . not a fan of country but she sounded pretty good on the show . thought she was much better than Medusa on both songs.

[*Wallace]

Gnome being the first one eliminated makes sense.

 

Ooh whoaa, that was Dick Van Dyke.  Wow.... that's such a legend.... I was not expecting that to be him at all.   

Wow Robin & Nicole got that wrong. They (especially Robin) seemed so confident in his guess that I was even thinking it was him.  

 

Wow he's 97 years old? It's incredible how he's still performing!  

[*Wallace]

Wow that "Diamonds" sing-off battle was really good on both ends! I thought both did an impressive job there.  

[*Wallace]

Really happy for Medusa on winning the battle. But at the same time, sad to lose Mustang.  

 

Ooh whoaa, wow that was Sara Evans.  Okay again, I was not expecting that but then again, I don't really know her voice that well. So I probably wouldn't have been able to guess her.

I can kinda get this. The season returned earlier than usual. And the hype leading up to the premiere felt smaller than usual.

true, and maybe I'm just getting more forgetful

 i don't think any of the singers so far were as good as previous ones . costumes were good though.

[Crisis]

A strong opener all things considered. Them being able to land a legend like Dick Van Dyke is huge. I thought having William Shatner on the show last season was big. Him being able to sing and move like that at 97 was impressive. With that said, it made sense for him to leave early because he may not have had more performances in him. Also, that costume looked hot. It wouldn't surprise me if anyone passed out in it.

 

Mustang and Medusa was a toss up. Mustang was a better technical singer, but Medusa had more dynamics with her voice and was more showy. In this format the latter tends to be favorable. I wouldn't have guessed Mustang as Sara Evans; then again, I didn't pay much attention to the clues.

 

As for the Ding Dong Keep It On Bell (i.e., the gimmick for this season): meh. I haven't been impressed with any of the gimmicks the past few seasons.

Medusa is Fergie based on the clues. she sang national anthem BEP did halftime and Buckingham palace after the Royal Fergie
