This show would work so much better without the stupid panel. Just get them on and get them off! Yes the extreme suggestions are stupid but I think you need the panel to break it up otherwise (much as I love him) it's just joel dommett and faceless singers. the panel add an energy

Watched a few clips on youtube so I now at least understand, well the costumes are amazing, does Jonathan Ross say, 'good singer' about every act?!

I've given in and put it on playback, I have no idea who most of the people are the panel are suggesting so the chances of me guessing are pretty non existent. oh no, it's good voice Jonathan keeps saying.

The Fox is Denise van Outen. On twitter she posted years ago about collecting teapots plus it sounds like her.

I wonder why it’s prerecorded rather than live? I know the likes of The Apprentice and Bake Off are but something like this would benefit from audience at home input

Get Octopus in a show right now! 🐙 She sounded good but it was noticeable she could never sustain any big notes.

I think we can agree that TV worldwide has sunk to new lows, not just US or UK. No one comes out of this unscathed! Having said that I still think this is hugely fun and entertaining, more so than The Voice which claims to be something it isn’t.

After you all going in about this I had to see what on earth it is. Hmm, I think I could have just done with looking at a photograph of each costume, I didn't watch the whole thing and won't watch any more. I guess even once they unmask the people I most likely won't know who they are anyway. I think the costumes were impressive but that was about it.

i appreciate this is a US concept however (I swear) UK television has sunk to a new all-time low It originated in South Korea, it isn't a US concept. I think it's cheesy and fun - it's the sort of bubblegum TV show that fills the ITV schedule effectively for 90 minutes at the weekend without people having to think too much. And what I like is that it doesn't rely on ordinary people going through a "journey" to "live their dream" and then end up being belittled by rich judges, members of the public aren't being humiliated for being who they are, there is no voyeurism towards people in poverty or with potential mental health problems... Is this what I want all British TV to be like? Of course not. But as bubblegum TV goes, this seems to have had a bit of money spent on it and be genuinely entertaining (judging by the comments here), even if ultimately effervescent. I watched the couple of programmes this weekend on record to see who all the performers were, I probably won't watch again, but I'll keep an eye on social media to see who some of them turned out to be. And if I'm at home on a Saturday night and want something mindlessly entertaining, I'd be happy to watch this rather than Love Island, TOWIE or X Factor.

I’ll eat my hat if unicorn isn’t Barrowman. The first note and I knew it was him. Hedgehog, I’m pretty sure is Manford. Pretty stuck on Chameleon and Octopus.

Exactly this, it’s silly but quite compelling- and I too applaud the fact that nobody is criticised publicly. Harmless fun!

I need to listen to unicorn again as I really didnt get Barroman from it, I was thinking Franke Grande. And I think the Chameleon may be Will Mellor

Hedgehog's speech patterns made me think Tom Allen, or Joe Lycett, but not sure how they fit with the dying clue.

Well people have said Jason Manford for the hedgehog and he played Pirelli in sweeney who is dead by 8:30 and isn’t in the show after that Yes, I've read that but I didn't think it sounded like him, having seen him singing last week. Maybe I'm wrong, but I didn't think it was him, it sounds way too posh. When I've seen him sing its always been with an American accent, whether the situation required or not. Hence why I think someone like Tom Allen, Joe Lycett, or maybe even Judge Rinder, though that is based on the voice itself rather than the clues.

Those who have suggested Rhydian Roberts for Hedgehog: I can’t really remember what his voice sounds like and I haven’t had time yet to listen to things so I don’t know on that front but he did play Orin in Little Shop of Horrors, who dies near the end of Act 1 and so could fit with the 8.30 clue.

Not completely convinced on this guess, but I thought Octopus might be Michele Visage.

Awful...just awful...what is wrong with the world? Have to agree with you here. Watched the first episode but that is enough. It was so long winded and frankly just dross in my opinion. I know that some will disagree , but this just seems another vehicle for 'celebrities' to get themselves on tv in a slightly different reality show.

Well I have to admit it's somewhat of a guilty pleasure in my household and I think we're invested enough now and need to find out who everyone is!! There are reveal compilations of the U.S version where they managed to get celebs such as Rikki Lake, La Toya Jackson, Rumer Willis, Gladys Knight, Donny Osmond, Paul Shaffer, Raven-Symoné, Kelly Osbourne, Patti LaBelle, Michelle Williams (off of Destiny's Child), Ana Gasteyer, Seal and Wayne Brady. Yes.........really!!!!!!! I cannot WAIT to see who the UK has got in 😂

Fox I think it’s either a rocker like Chrissie Hynde or Suzi Quatro or perhaps Jessie Wallace. Jessie is under contract with the BBC, so I doubt she’d be allowed time off for an ITV show? Wouldn’t rule out Shane Richie popping up though. Sometimes the BBC have allowed it's contracted stars time off to pop up on other channels but not often.
But the fox is clearly Denise Van Outen.
The Duck probably the next to be eliminated.
