The most entertaining part
of Chinese reality singing
competition King of Mask
Singer? The masks that its celeb
contestants wear. Here are
the most hilarious and bizarre

Snow queen: Taiwanese
pop star ANGELA ZHANG’s
beef with her frenemy Christine
Fan deepened on the show
due to their record company’s
alleged preferential treatment towards
Christine. When asked about what she would never
wear on the show, Angela reportedly pointed at
Christine’s Baymax outfit. Ooh, burn.Panda-ring to the
crowd: Zoo you like
Taiwanese crooner YOGA LIN’s
panda costume?Bay to the max: The show started out
with singers wearing only face masks, but has now
evolved to them donning full Heidi Klum Halloween
party-ready costumes, like Taiwanese singer
CHRISTINE FAN’s OTT getup. She reportedly picked
her Big Hero 6’s Baymaxcostume for her kids as she
wanted them to “see [her] performing as Baymax and
remember [her] as that character”.Chinese reality singing show King of Mask
Singer pits famous singers against one another
with a twist: they all wear elaborate masks to conceal
their identities and are only judged on their singing
prowess. Naturally, each episode ends up looking
like an extended Lady Gaga MV
— and features more animals
than the Singapore Zoo. And
to be honest, the show’s fun
factor dips the second after the
big reveal when the singers
unmask themselves.scene & Heard
