THE Masked Singer both shocked and angered fans this week over the elimination of legendary performer Chaka Khan – while the “horrible” White Tiger remains in the competition.
Iconic Grammy winning singer Chaka, 66, revealed herself to be Miss Monster on the singing show after she received the lowest amount of combined audience and judges votes.
The judges praised her rendition of Lesley Gore’s You Don’t Own Me in week three of the singing battle but was surprisingly eliminated just minutes later in the episode.
Viewers of the show immediately expressed their anger online for her exit over fellow contestant the White Tiger, who has been heavily criticized for his singing ability this season.
“YA KICKED OFF CHAKA KHAN AND KEPT THE WHITE TIGER? The audacity,” an enraged critic wrote online.
An angry fan said on Twitter: “How the hell is the White Tiger still in. It’s called the masked singer, not the masked dancer.”
“I’m actually f*****g upset. I guess the show is now “The Masked Entertainer” because White Tiger sure as F**K didn’t sing, and he still somehow made it through,” another viewer tweeted.
“Wait what??! They’re sending Ms. Monster home over White tiger?????” A watcher of the show asked alongside a gif of someone saying “trash.”
One upset fan got political:”The fact that the queen, Chaka Khan got kicked off #TheMaskedSinger and the f*****g white tiger is still on just proves once again that Americans should not be allowed to vote. lord.”
The White Tiger – who got the crowd pumped up to the Queen classic We Will Rock You – advanced to the group A championship round along with the Kangaroo and the Turtle.
Both Robin Thicke, 42, and Nicole Scherzinger, 41, guessed Chaka’s identity correctly but the show’s fellow judges were way off in their predictions.
Ken Jeong, 50, thought Miss Monster was country singer Reba McEntire while Jenny McCarthy, 47, assumed the unmasked singer would be actress and rapper Queen Latifah.
Tonight’s guest judge, Leah Remini, 49, incorrectly predicted Miss Monster was the Supremes member Mary Wilson.
While the White Tiger’s face has yet to be revealed, viewers have almost unanimously decided that the ferocious feline is famous football player Rob “Gronk” Gronkowski.
One fan said of the famous Patriots tight end: “Watched 30 seconds of Masked Singer and already know the the White Tiger is Gronk.”
Another confidently added: Never watched the masked singer in my life but the white tiger gotta be Gronk.”
The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays on Fox at 8pm EST.
