Appreciate your analysis re: v-day posts! I’d meant to ask but tumblr ate it so I’m glad there were other inquiring minds. I also thought maybe the card was from Georgia and pondered the pride flag at the end of the carousel. It’s hard to parse without context but of course can fit a general “love is love” sentiment.

So…. any thoughts about David as Phoenix on Masked Singer? I’d probably expire if it was true.

Anon #1: You're very welcome, re: my V-Day post analysis! Glad you enjoyed it so much, and I agree about the lack of context (which leaves things open to many possibilities), but also agree that it could be a general "love is love" sentiment.

So...I have no idea how I've now ended up with two Anons about the Masked Singer, but I am thoroughly amused because that is not at all a show I watch (either the one here in the US or the UK version). It just sort of gives me accidental furry vibes and I tend to try and keep maximum safe distance from anything in that genre, so, yeah...there you go. Haha.

But I did finally manage to take a peek at a few clips on Youtube (Phoenix's most recent performance in the semi-final is here, for those who haven't seen it), and have formulated some thoughts. Firstly, by way of disclaimer, one of my things with being autistic is that I sometimes have auditory processing issues, so hearing a singing voice through an anthropomorphized animal mask already fries my brain slightly.

HOWEVER...I have spent the last three years listening to both David and Michael's voices far more than I would care to admit (I've written entire posts on here about Michael's voice and its devastating effect on my lower regions, and I even have a #the things he does with his voice should be illegal tag, so I am beyond familiar with the dulcet tones of that mellifluous Welsh voice). And I feel that I would also know David's breathy tenor and occasional raised octaves when he gets all passionate any day of the week.

Given my familiarity with both Michael and David's cadences, my feeling is that Phoenix is neither one of them. I can see why people think it's David (the flailing limbs) and I can see why people think it's Michael (the voice almost sounds like Michael doing his American accent). But physically, Phoenix is too thin to be Michael--Phoenix's legs are skinny and noticeably do not have the thicc athleticism to them that Michael's do. And the voice just isn't quite his, nor David's, but rather almost like someone doing an impression of one of them (or both) to throw the audience off.

And that is pretty much my assessment of Phoenix on the Masked Singer. I would absolutely love to see Michael and David singing together one day for real, though (minus the fur suits, though I'd totally be down for Michael as Elton John and David as Kiki Dee again), because they both do have gorgeous singing voices and would no doubt give us an incredible duet. Fingers crossed...
