Warning! The next accommodates spoilers for The Masked Singer episode “Harry Potter Evening.” Learn at your individual threat!
It was a magical evening on The Masked Singer because the present celebrated the Harry Potter franchise. There was a sorting hat, some incredible cosplay, and – relying on who you ask – a possible controversy concerning who deserved to maneuver ahead within the smackdown spherical on the finish of the evening. Now, following his elimination, the person behind The Hawk, actor Tyler Posey, admitted he had some pressure after feeling the sufferer of an unfair elimination.
Tyler Posey, of MTV’s Teen Wolf fame, sat down with CinemaBlend to debate his time in Season 10 and falling simply brief to Tiki within the smackdown spherical. The 2 contestants carried out Woman Gaga‘s “Monster” in two wildly totally different kinds, with Tiki going for a extra conventional take whereas Posey did extra of a rock music take. Ultimately, the viewers superior Tiki, and Posey confessed he could not assist however really feel a sure sort of method about it:
I felt a little bit robbed at first. So, there was a little bit little bit of pressure on my aspect simply because I used to be very aggressive. I like giving it my all. However then, instantly, that washed away. I used to be like, ‘What am I doing? It is a enjoyable TV present. There’s no level in being aggressive and foolish.’ I used to be capable of drop that fairly rapidly and acknowledge it and notice I’m fairly aggressive, I like that nature about myself so it was cool to appreciate that.
Whereas there was delicate pressure at first, Tyler Posey mentioned the conclusion that The Masked Singer is extra about enjoyable than competitors rapidly pulled him out of that mindset. In any case, the cash to do the present is not nice, and the costumes can get sizzling. If you’re there to compete, you is perhaps there for the fallacious motive.
On the identical time, I could not assist however agree that I felt Tyler Posey was robbed when it got here to the viewers and panels’ votes. I requested the actor if he felt his elimination was doubtlessly because of the viewers leaning extra towards conventional singing over stylized rockstar vibes and showmanship, and if that factored into his elimination. The actor had this to say:
I do assume that a little bit bit. I used to be making an attempt to consider [the performance] as an entire. This isn’t The Voice, it is a present about performing every little thing blended in. And so I believed I may very well be okay with not having this classically skilled voice. I don’t know. I believed I had it, so I did really feel like there was one thing happening that I wasn’t conscious of. Whether or not it was politics and I used to be being robbed or they had been placing their consideration on a sure component of the efficiency fairly than the entire thing. I actually don’t know.
Tyler Posey made some strong factors. The Masked Singer prides itself on showmanship, and among the present’s most surprising eliminations of high performers have occurred because of a much less gifted singer bringing extra vitality than their opponent. In fact, all of it comes right down to the viewers in attendance, and possibly that evening, they had been simply feeling the efficiency of Tiki greater than Hawk.
If there’s some upside to Hawk falling brief, it is that he won’t have stood an opportunity in opposition to this season’s early frontrunner, Gazelle, within the subsequent spherical of the competitors. I am unsure any contestant we have heard in Group B can stand in opposition to her, however there are nonetheless weeks to go and others to step up and probably change into the brand new favourite of The Masked Singer Season 10.
Catch new episodes of The Masked Singer on Fox on Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET, or binge the sequence with a Hulu subscription. Readers can even use their Hulu accounts to rewatch the smackdown between Hawk and Tiki and resolve for themselves if he was robbed.
