• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the day, Judith. Yes. You are the country's songbird. At
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: the end of the day. Why did you do Mask Singer,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Judith Supuma? Curiosity. Killed the cat. Ah!
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: But you've always been adventurous because I did Strictly Come.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Dancing with you. In my season of Strictly Come Dancing,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: she was there. Oh, wow.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: And every Thursday night, we're getting stressed out.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Dude.
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: Drinking.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: For the dancing. Yes.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: No, afterwards, we'd go to News Cafe Rivonia to drown
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: our sorrows.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Our sorrows. You know the moves, the curling. This is crazy.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Have you not done Strictly? I did Strictly when Jason
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Boynton Lee won.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: Oh, wow.
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: You see? And that thing was tough. It was tough, guys.
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: Because we're learning how to now ballroom dance.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: But then I've got to ask the question because is
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that tougher than the Masked Singer South Africa? Yes, it is. Really?
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: Because it's about footwork, how you push your foot, how
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: your arms.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: This is different.
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: Masked Singer is just you having fun and.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Remember your lyrics.
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Strictly Come Dancing is literally the technique. It's mathematics on
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: the floor. Physics. analytics on the floor.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, so because Frankie had like a bit of a
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: wobble with Jocha because you didn't want to do it
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: anymore because you thought Somiza would recognize you and then
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: he didn't. Like Somiza spent three episodes trying.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: And then when he got it, he got it. But
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: when he didn't, he didn't.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: And this is a backstory behind the scenes of The
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Masked Singer, right? But the night before Judith's first performance,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Jocha was the first recording for Jocha. I was on
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the phone with her And her manager, and they were saying, no, guys,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: but Tumizi's going to know immediately, and then we're going
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: to go out. I said, that's not how it works.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And I'm telling you now, it's tough. When you're sitting
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: as a detective in the room, it's a very different experience.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: You've got this bright pink costume, this huge thing. Lots
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: of hair. Lots of hair. It's going to be confusing.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: And Judith went out of her way to pick songs
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: that do not sound like jazz, that do not sound
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: like Judith.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely.
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: I was thinking you guys are sabotaging me, honestly.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: I said to my manager, no, at least I think
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: they're sabotaging me. Because the people are going to tell.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: That it's me. They're going to know. They're going to know.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: And my manager said, can you just tweak her voice.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: A little bit?
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: But only when we got there, everything made sense.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Everything made sense.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: Everything made sense. I was so happy to be there.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, Samiz is close to both of you. Yes,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: he is. He really didn't figure it out.
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: But I thought you were a white woman first. Like
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: the first time I heard you sing. Because when we
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: merged and I was at the back, I thought it
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: was a white woman singing.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: The first time, your first song. The first song. I
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: couldn't tell. I honestly, I was like, no, she's from
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Cape Town. It's a white chick. She's from Cape Town. No,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: it's a white chick. It's a white chick. Yeah, I
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: couldn't pick it up. Yeah, I don't know why. Because
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: you know when we rehearse, we can hear each other? Yeah.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I was like, that's a white chick.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: She's like, they got one of them vineyards of Stelly's
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: housewives to.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Come onto the show. Bless her heart. Her husband is
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: happy that she's out of the house.
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: Probably it's like a babe or someone from the housewives.
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: Honestly speaking. I was, I didn't know who was there. Honestly, nobody.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: At no point in time.
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: At no point in time.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Not nobody. Not even with the voices. Nothing. Only until...
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the top four.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Kanye, your brother was on the show. That's so crazy.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Did you ever hear him perform and you also didn't
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: figure that out?
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: We only merged once.
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: Okay. And that's when I got to learn about, I
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: thought it was just the five of us.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:43
  Speaker 7: And then one morning I got there and then I
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: heard while people were rehearsing, Sheep.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I thought sheep was one person. The next thing they're two.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I'm like, why are they two?
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: And that for me was like sheep, sheep, sheep. And
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: then I get there and it's like, it's a herd.
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: I'm like, why are they two?
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: It's a herd.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: And then there was, there was, that was the first
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: time I heard about Portia.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: So, and then I heard about sushi and sushi was
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: next door to my room. Yeah.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: Because I saw that.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Because you guys, you guys backstage, you sit in these,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: we call them cooling rooms, right?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: And they're dark.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: And they're dark. You can't see through any of it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: There's just basically a little name card that gives your
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: masks name because everything's very secret. You were next to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: your brother.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I can't believe it.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, wow. And you only realized because you missed his unveiling,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: unmasking episode. So you only realized that he had been
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: on the show.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: When I was told.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: In the final, when you got unmasked.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: And the thing with me is because I love scents, right? Yeah.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I can pick people up with their scents.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I know what my brother smells like. And you couldn't
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: figure it out. So that cooling room is fire because
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I would have said nope. I know that smell. I
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: can't believe it. But I'm so proud of him. Because
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: he's got two left feet. I didn't know he can
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: actually belt a note. He did really well.
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: Pua's very shy. People think Pua's out there. He's very reserved.
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: He's only like when the camera's on.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: It's an alter ego. Yes.
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: So seeing him on stage become that, I was like,
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: go sushi.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: But I'm still going to eat you. Listen, that's what
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I said.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: Remember, I said in the cans, I said, please, when
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: he gets eliminated or if he gets eliminated, tell them
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: that I'm having sushi tonight for supper.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm eating him. And they said it on television.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: They said it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I absolutely love it, right? Yeah.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: So much is funny here because you're supposed to know
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: everything about your family, their movements, their whereabouts. And then
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the next thing you have to know. And I went
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: into your brother's room to say hi, right? And I
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: found him like rehearsing. Like he is the only mask
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: where if I'd go into the room.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: To say hi, he'd be there counting. Because it's loud.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: My brother can't move for nothing. He's a tree.
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: Oh, I know.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: What did you do to him? He's a tree. You know?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: And the thing is also, Because we text on the
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: family group.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: He was a bit weird during that time.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: He was like, no, guys, I'm just working on something.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm just trying to build something. But then
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: when I think of it, I'm like... My singer. My singer.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Let's hear from the white woman from Cape Town.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: Oh, easy on me, baby.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I was still a child.
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: Didn't get the chance. To feel the world around me
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: I had no time to choose What.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I chose to do.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I get goosebumps every time I hear Jocha sing the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: song Judith. It is wild how good this is. Did
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you perform this at Joy of Jazz? Yes, I was.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: You should be performing this at every concert.
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: I haven't thought about that, but I'm going to.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: You've got to.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: It's flawless. It's beautiful.
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: I didn't even know that I can sing that song
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: so well.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Or I could sound so good. I'm telling you, I.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: This is one of my best vocals on The Masked Singer.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: Yes. I loved it so much.
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: Even now, listening to it, I'm just, yes, it's happening.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: And I think Jay Something made some, like I said,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: vocally perfect.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: I think that was his response.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, 25 years on, I don't think you care
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: for compliments. But when something like that lands in a
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: show that's stretching yourself, what does it mean?
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: It's too special.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: Actually, it got me emotional every time. Jay got me
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: all the time. Jay was like on point at some point,
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: you know, he missed it and then he was like,
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: now I don't know anymore. But with what he complimented
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: me on it got me so emotional all the time.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: They say dance for me dance for me dance.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: For me oh oh I never seen anybody do the
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: things you do before they say.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Guys this is Kanyimbawa I can't believe it.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: When you're done, I'll make you do it all again.
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: Like, really, can you seriously?
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: And you know what you did the entire season? You
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: played with your voice.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: And this is why you tricked a lot of people.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: You played with your voice and you became the artist
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: every single time.
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: I literally, when I got my music, I sat with
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: the artist and I found where they breathe, where they.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Tone and the scene. That's how it is.
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: So that they don't find me. And when I got
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: the car, I was like, wow. And I was like, yes,
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: I studied the artist. I didn't just look at the words.
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: I literally listened to every artist. how they do it,
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: where are they singing from the throat, the head, the chest.
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: And I was like, ah, head singing. Okay, we're going
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: to the head now.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Wow, that's amazing.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: That's how it is.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: And obviously people fall in love with your mask.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: And the character.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: The character.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: I was always in character. Like there, I stayed in.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Once I put that thing on. I'm here.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I actually I wanted to take Chopsticks and put her
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: in Disney.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: World yes you know.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Those little kids running after those characters because you were
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: just so into it the whole time and you were
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: sassy and you were cute I I mean we put
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: you in the mask so I knew it was Kanye
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: but there were times when I'd forget it's Kanye I'd
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: be like oh Chopsticks she's so cute she's so I
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: actually want to play another Chopsticks song I want to
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: hear this thing of head, heart and chest yeah.
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: I know this.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Song was brilliant because the detectives were like, maybe it's Gamombela.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: And then they were like, yeah, but you guys would
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: never make them sing their own songs.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: And I was like, wouldn't we? But even with water,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: they thought it could be Tyler. Because Kamu literally sings. Remember,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: she's hood. Yes. And hood, we speak from the chest. Oh, good.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: So it was like it had to be from here.
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: You know, and that's where. And I also from the hood.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: That's why people pick me up because we speak from here.
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: But whereas water, she's more of, she's in the throat.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: This way, water.
• 12:39
  Speaker 7: So that's what I listened to. And that's how I
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: got my characters. I was like, okay, this is what
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: I'm going to do. My body sold me out. I
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: feel like, Kanye, for.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: You, the must singer, you believe it made people take
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: you more seriously because for your entire career, we'll say
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: she's good, but she's good, but there's always a bad
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: with like, oh, she's a good actress, but you know,

  Speaker 2: I love everything. But acting, entertaining is my life.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: But they never give it a chance.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah. There's always so much noise that drowns out the
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: art that you're trying to show.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I play to all angles. I play to media. I
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: know what they need.
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I play to what my director needs. But then
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: South Africa then holds on to the media element of
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: the superstar, the cars, the hey, hey, hey. So for me,
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: it was just finally when I turned 40, that's when
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: like everyone can then say, oh my gosh.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: And I guess life.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: Really begins at 40 because finally people are like, you know, Jay,
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: I was always in tears after Jay spoke because he
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: would be like.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: She can sing and I'm like, I can. And I've
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: sung before.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: You guys weren't listening to me because you were too
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: busy looking at me.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: And every time I look at Stelo, Stelo would be
• 15:44
  Speaker 7: so taken by the performance, you know. And it's like,
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: so it took.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: 40 years to get that. Thank you.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: We've got Kanye Mbao in studio. She was Chopsticks on
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Masked Singer Season 3. We've got Jocha in studio, Judith Supuma,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: you know, who was Jocha for Masked Singer Season 3.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: On the way, I want to know from Judith, what
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: did the show do for her?
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: I'm just so, like, emotional listening to Kanye, you know.
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: It's been hard.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: It's so unfair, though. It's been hard. It's been so unfair.
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: But the must, exactly what Kanye's saying, we're always so emotional.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: When they, you know, the unmasking part. Because when that happens,
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: I promise you, it's like I became naked. I was like,
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: now they can see me now. And I felt like,
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: am I really now ready to go back into that world?
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: Because the mask covered me. It became my safe space.
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: It became my home. I could sing. You didn't know
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: who I was. Whether I sang a flat note or not, it.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Didn't even matter.
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: Because I could do it and I loved singing that
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: flat note underneath there. But one thing that I loved
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: is we made people happy without them knowing who we were.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: And when we took the mask off and I felt
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: that nakedness, I promise you, the minute they were saying,
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: take it.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Off, I was like.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: I kept on speaking to my tears, like, don't do it,
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: don't do it.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Because we're going back to the trolls now. We're going
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: back to being scrutinized. They own us again. Yeah, they
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: own us again.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: That is such a deep thing that Judith said, but
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: everybody who's listening is like, Judith, please, you couldn't sing
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: a flat note if you tried.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: If you tried, there's no one.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: And by the way, we all ate hair under those masks. Oh, no,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: we ate hair.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: It was too hot. And by the way, my mask
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: as well. I thought I was moving big moves, but no, dude.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: You ain't doing a thing.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Relax, Judith.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: It's another thing when you get out of the mask
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: and you have to watch yourself now.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: You're like, whoa. Those moves were big, man. I thought
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I was wiggling that head. Nothing was happening.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: But you got your legs going, though. That's the only
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: thing I could do.
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I did not know Kanye can sing like that.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: My word.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: In studio, we've got the final four, the runners-up of
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Masked Singer Season 3, Judith Supuma, who said yes to
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: doing this. It was such an honor. And then also
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: with Kanye, because we thought of Kanye for first season.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Remember, Frankie?
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: We had you on the list from the beginning.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: From the beginning.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: And then I was like, no. Then I'd look, I'm like, no,
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: she's not in South Africa. Never in South Africa, this one.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: Then in season two, ah, she's not, she's not here.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: And then season three, Frankie's like, just bite the bullet
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: and ask her.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? Just ask her. And then
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, okay, fine. Let me ask her. And
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: then you said yes.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Because we had the exact same conversation the detectives had
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: when I'm asking, saying, like, surely Kanye wouldn't do something
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: as ridiculously silly.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: That's what Kumba said.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: But that helped me.
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: And guys, you guys need to speak to God for
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: me because I've been lying. Like, I need my brownie
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: points back for heaven.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Because during... The 13 weeks, I've had to lie. To
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: so many people. To so many people. Yes, guys.
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: That's for you not having me in these seasons. Because
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: I remember last season, people kept saying I was diamond.
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: So I kept saying to people, guys, you know, every
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: year you do this to me.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Last season, I was diamond. The season before then, I
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: was sunflower. Guys, can you relate? That's what I used.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I was like, guys, please, please, please, guys, please. Yeah, yeah.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: But I suppose, you know, for us as well, who
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: produce the show, it has to be.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: it has to get bigger and bigger. So in a way,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I'm glad we.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Didn't get you guys first season because to reveal, I mean,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: even my dad was like, I'm like, dad, we're in
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: the same industry.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah. She's like, she's like, they're there. And
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: for you to do this, here's a question.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: And maybe I'm going to give you a moment to
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: think about it because it might be a little bit
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: deep because you need to quantify the answer and qualify
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: the answer for both of you. Which celebrity in South
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Africa do you think would benefit from being on the
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Masked Singer if you're thinking of what the show has
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: done for you as well like the freedom it gave
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: you the expression the for you the revival can you
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: the us you you being taken seriously for talent and
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: not for anything else yeah do this for you after
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: three decades being in the industry and still you can
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: be on a show that is like the number one
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: show in south africa this reality show that kids love
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Because now you've been introduced to a brand new market
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden because of Masked Singer. So both
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: of you sit on that and think.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: For me, I'm not sitting.
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Tell me. The new generation, all of them need a mask. Okay.
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: Why? Every celebrity in South Africa needs a mask. The
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: Masked Singer is not just a show.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: It heals you. It's a reminder of why you chose
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: this path. It does. It reminds you why you love music.
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: The hours along of you sitting in your cooling room.
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: You don't get there at six and be on stage
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: at nine and then you're back home in an hour.
• 20:53
  Speaker 7: You're literally there for like 12 hours. You sit with yourself.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: And sometimes, you know, by yourself with no one, you
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: can't speak loud.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: When you go to the bathroom, no one looks at you.
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: Every celebrity, every artist, everybody, even everybody needs to get
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: a mask. The mask is not just a competition. It's rehab.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: It's healing. It's a reminder.
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: Everybody needs to do it. You need to get everyone
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: on this. This is camp.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Shekana said a very similar thing when she was on
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the previous season of The Masked Singer. She was so
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: grateful for that time. Because anyone, all of us in
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: our lives, you're constantly busy. Someone needs something and you're
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: constantly busy. So just to sit in that cooling room.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: She wrote half a new album recently. sitting there because
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: she just had a moment to sit and just think
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: and just work on her craft and just be by herself.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:49
  Speaker 7: And another thing is, this is controversial, but the new industry,
• 21:57
  Speaker 7: the younger industry, they're not as unified as we used
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: to be, Judith, in our time. One thing about the
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: Masked Singer, especially when you get to like the top
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: four because then you spend more time together, you start
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: falling in love with the artist because we shared the
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: same troubles. We shared the same stress. We were both
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: nervous at the same time. We know what it felt like.
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: So it kind of brings us together. Everybody needs a mask.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: This is going to go on till season 55.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Whoa. I receive.
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: Amen.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Rebecca Malope needs to go.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: Guys, everybody, everybody needs to do this. I was going
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: to choose Rebecca Malope and I was going to choose
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: Mom Yvonne Chaga Chaga.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: Yes, I was going to choose them because those are
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: our icons.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Those are our legends.
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: And for them to see themselves, they think they know themselves.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: But I think they need to come to the Masked
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: Singer and discover.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Really who they are.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: And you actually discover yourself on that stage more than
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: anywhere else. In the room at the back, in the
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: cooling room, you're actually figuring yourself out. You're coming back
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: to yourself. You are being humbled by sitting there, not
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: having to, because I can't call someone because, you know,
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: my neighbors, I found out later that Mosquito was my neighbor.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: He was trying to sting me the entire time. He
• 23:25
  Speaker 6: was trying to sting my masks, like, because hoho would
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: be this big head outside my door. And every time
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: Mosquito passes, it goes bzzz. And I'd be like, why
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: does this bzzz thing, you know, yeah. And then, you know,
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: so that is the beauty about it. You know, you really,
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: really get humbled.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: You're actually almost not in control. Do you know that?
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: You think you're in control, but you're not.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: Because they're telling you, I mean, from my house, nobody
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: knew what was going on. And I denied it. I
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: was the best. I am the best liar on earth
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: right now. I am so good. I am so, I
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: am such a good liar. I was never, that's not me.
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: But it's you, it's your voice.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Which voice?
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Which voice?
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Which Masked Singer? I'm busy, me. Masked Singer, is it
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: a local production? Yeah.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: It plays where? Oh no, I need to check it.
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: Oh my God, I've been so busy, I haven't had
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: time to check television. So, I'm sorry to everybody that
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: I lied to, but I'm so glad I did.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: We're almost going to say goodbye to them. Send us
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: a voice on 084-00-00947. You've got Canyon Bao in studio.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: With Judith Sapuma.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: When in your life did you ever think that would happen?
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: And then for Frankie specifically, when in your life did
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: you ever think you're going to hear Judith Sapuma singing
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Taylor Swift?
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Yes!
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: Shake it off. In the mask.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: Shake it off.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: This is me in the mask, but nothing is happening.
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: I'm like, shake it, shake it, shake it.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I am not shaking it. But nothing is happening. That
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: head is standing still.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: This is not a song they're going to play at
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Joy of Jazz. No. Shake it off. Shake it off.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Come on. Shake it off. Shake it off.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Shake it off.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Isn't that Cape Town? Is that not Cape Town?
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Is that not Cape Town? She lives in Constantia. No,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sweet. I'm sweet.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: And she's so happy they finally opened a marble.
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: In Cape Town.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I'm sweet.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Because I used to have to go all the way
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: to Joburg. You're sweet. No, I'm sweet. And you know
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: we've sold our house in Parker. So now when I'm
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: in Joburg, I have to stay in a hotel just
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: so I can go have a proper rabbit. Nah, huh?
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: And then.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Chopsticks.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Every time she would sing, it was upbeat, it was
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: tones and I, it was it. And then the one
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: day she came and she sang Beyonce Halo. And then
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: Jay something said, oh, here we go.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Halo.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: I cried.
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: I cried recording this because guys, you never sing a
• 26:50
  Speaker 7: Whitney Houston.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Or Beyonce song. You don't do that.
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: And Kaya was like, because he's on the class, he's like,
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: you're going to sing it and you're flat.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: You're flatting. And I'd be like, her is like, you're flatting.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: But I'm like, Kaya, but it's.

  Speaker 7: It's like, you're flatting. Can you please do it again?
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: And it's like, can you start again, please?
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: And Kaya is strict in there. And Kaya's a genius
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: with it. And it's like, Kanya, you can go there.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: I said, but I can't. It's like, you can. And
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: you're going to go there.
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: This is flat.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: You never sing a Whitney or a Beyonce song. And
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: then you did it. Hello, don't fail.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Listen. Hey.

  Speaker 2: You are in demand, demand. It's a long day.

  Speaker 3: masks after they've been revealed.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: We say.
