It takes quite a bit of rehearsal,\u201d he explained. \u201cWith <i>Masked Singer<\/i>, you get to prerecord in case there are any mistakes for the live recording, but when you do do the performance, you\u2019re voted on your live singing, right? And you\u2019re wearing an outfit, so it\u2019s a bit cumbersome. It\u2019s not like you\u2019re freed up with <i>Dancing With the Stars<\/i> and with a professional dancer. They\u2019re very different, but think they\u2019re both very theatrical, which I really love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>The Masked Singer<\/i> airs on Fox Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/jack-wagner-reviews-the-masked-singers-ozzy-osbourne-tribute\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Masked Singer contestant Jack Wagner is grateful he had the opportunity to perform \u2014 and be unmasked \u2014 during Ozzfest Night. \u201cI\u2019m just kind of a rocker from the \u201860s and \u201870s.
