In the realm of secrecy and musical mystique, another enigma was unraveled on the recent episode of Season 10 of ‘The Masked Singer.’ A former O-Town member emerged from behind the guise of the S’more, captivating audiences with his unexpected presence. The identity revelation echoed through the audience, leaving them in awe of the unexpected celebrity beneath the marshmallow-inspired mask.
The curtain lifted on the mystery performer, revealing none other than Ashley Parker Angel, a seasoned artist who had taken a hiatus from the spotlight to delve into the realms of health and wellness through his company, High Level. The revelation marked a momentous return to the stage for Angel, as he confessed, “It was a hell yes, right from the start” when ‘The Masked Singer’ beckoned.
Throughout Season 10, the S’more dazzled with performances that transcended expectations. Angel, known for his roles in O-Town, Broadway, and TV shows on MTV, embarked on this masked musical journey after two decades as a globe-trotting performer. The show’s unique format and the allure of anonymity drew him in, and each performance became a steppingstone in his rekindled love for the stage.
Navigating the intricacies of performing incognito, Angel highlighted the learning curve involved. Adapting to the physical challenges posed by the elaborate costume, he expressed, “What’s so awesome about ‘The Masked Singer,’ I felt like each performance, I got a little better each performance.” The experience wasn’t without its share of surprises, as the physical demands of the S’more costume presented unforeseen challenges, adding an extra layer of complexity to the performances.
The S’more’s rendition of “That’s the Way (I Like It)” by KC and the Sunshine Band on “Disco Night” emerged as a standout moment for Angel. Had he continued the journey, he had ambitious plans to serenade the audience with Green Day’s “When September Ends” or “Boulevard of Broken Dreams.”
Despite the resounding success within the S’more persona, Angel clarified that this musical interlude doesn’t signify a return to his boy band roots just yet. The allure of the ‘Masked Singer’ stage provided a perfect short-term celebration of his past, allowing him to balance the demands of his health and wellness company.
As ‘The Masked Singer’ continues its captivating journey, Season 10 promises an array of surprises with its diverse lineup of celebrity contestants. The distinctive format, themed episodes, and the return of Wild Card contestants add layers of excitement to the musical spectacle.
