The Masked Singer is a perfect reality show for musicians to be part of due to the fact that the whole premise of the show is about singing. However, it allows the celebrities involved to showcase different elements of their personality due to them being able to hide their identity.

Legendary singer, Aloe Blacc is one of several musicians to have been involved in the show, taking part in the fourth season of the series. He was underneath the costume, Mushroom, and he ended up finishing in second place behind eventual winner, LeAnn Rimes.

5 Duncan James (The Celebrity Circle)

Giving celebrities a chance to appear on the show has only made it more fun, and Duncan James was involved in the UK celebrity show in 2021.

Unfortunately for the Blue boy band member, it wasn’t a show that he thrived on. He was ultimately eliminated first after being blocked early on, even though he was playing as himself on the show.

In a spin-off to the popular reality series, The Masked Singer, this show saw celebrities once again hide their identities behind masks and great costumes, only this time it was their dancing skills that were on display, not their singing.

It allowed the celebrities to really unwind and showcase themselves in a confident manner, and the first season of the show saw plenty of great names. One of those just so happened to be legendary singer, Brian McKnight.

One of the early reality shows that proved to be a massive success was The Osbournes, which placed its entire focus on Ozzy Osbourne and his family. It helped pave the way for the types of shows that everyone sees today, and it did so by looking at a rock and roll legend.

The lead singer of the heavy metal band, Black Sabbath, isn’t the first person that people would have thought would create a reality series about their life, but that’s exactly what he did, and it proved to be an excellent decision.

2 Ian ‘H’ Watkins (Dancing On Ice)

Former Steps band member, Ian ‘H’ Watkins was involved in season 12 of the show, making history in the process, as Ian and his ice skating partner, Matt Evers, were the first-ever same-sex couple on the show.
