What The Masked Singer Season 13 Opening Number Means For The Show

The Masked Singer Has Been Paying Tribute To Its History

Now that The Masked Singer has aired for so many seasons, it's been paying tribute to its past in various ways. In season 12, it introduced Masked Ambassadors to the show. They were alums of the series who had special connections to the latest contestants. Season 13 kicking off with the return of the phenomenal Mario is another indication that The Masked Singer will continue to honor its rich history by featuring one of the most loved and talented performers ever to appear on the show.

Although the winning characters didn't sing, just seeing the familiar faces of Monster, Piglet, Queen of Hearts, Cow, Goldfish, and Buffalos brought back so many amazing memories of when their celebrities (T-Pain, Nick Lachey, Jewel, Ne-Yo, Vanessa Hudgens, and Boyz II Men) wore their masks. The Masked Singer season 13 opening number is a reminder that anyone could be under the newest masks when the show returns. It also raises the excitement for the latest installment of the show.

"Get Lucky" was the perfect song choice for this "Lucky 13"-themed Masked Singer season. It's upbeat and fun, and really will get everyone into the spirit of the show. Robin and Rita have sung on the show many times before, and they're incredibly talented. It's always a treat when they take the stage in a Masked Singer episode.

The Masked Singer season 13's opening number is a celebration of the show's past and a glimpse into its future. Seeing Mario again will make fans remember that some of the most talented singers have performed on the show's stage, and season 13 will bring even more delightful surprises. The Masked Singer season 13 is going to be phenomenal, and we're so "lucky" to be able to experience it.
