Episode 4 song listings[edit]

@Magitroopa: I have told you MULTIPLE times that the songs listed on the Instagram page were incorrect (they were not even posted they were on a story). I have corrected them and you continue to revert me because you think you’re correct. The OFFICIAL YOUTUBE page has listed the correct artist for Over the Rainbow and they have used abbreviations for Single Ladies and Mambo No.5. PACK IT IN. I edit this page every evening and I know what I’m doing. Shontal Smith (talk) 23:47, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As I've already stated, we go by sources, not original research/personal interpretations. As such, that is why the episode 1 song listings are listed the way they are- it is how they are listed as such here from the official social media account. It seems like they may not have posted the song listings like this on their Twitter for episodes 2-4, though I can definitely confirm I saw it posted on their Instagram, and this is the correct song titles/artists.

Also just found the song listings for episode 2 here- as such, that has now been corrected. [1] Magitroopa (talk) 23:52, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

’You definitely saw it on Instagram’ sounds like original research to me.Shontal Smith (talk) 23:53, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yet it's not- it was posted on the Instagram story of the account (AKA, the images/videos that are removed after 24 hours). I'm going to try and see if I can find the image elsewhere... Magitroopa (talk) 23:55, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The songs on the show WERE different to what the table originally said. See how this works both ways?Shontal Smith (talk) 23:56, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Series is over, change current to recent PLEASE!

Has been updated. Magitroopa (talk) 19:22, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Average viewers[edit]

TBA. It's 2023 and it's still to be announced. I am guessing that ITV don't want the public to know the 2021 average nor the 2022 average. Would "not disclosed" be a more accurate description? (Fran Bosh (talk) 23:33, 3 January 2023 (UTC))[reply]

Supposed cancellation[edit]

The recent news regarding the shows' cancellation should likely not be added here at the moment... all of the sources are currently saying the show hasn't been fully cancelled, but is just not airing in 2023:

"The Masked Dancer launched in 2021 after the success of its sister show The Masked Singer but fans will have to wait till at least 2024 before the dancing competition returns."
"This doesn't mean it can't come back in 2024, and ITV have plans for other specials like The Masked Singer I'm A Celeb show"

This obviously does not mean the show is fully cancelled- just not airing this year. Maybe something about this news should be put into the article, but it is not 'cancelled' per say. Magitroopa (talk) 19:04, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Now added in. Also note the title of the article being sourced- "The Masked Dancer hasn't been axed, ITV confirms". Magitroopa (talk) 19:11, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
