“#’We’re Glad That They Did Guess Us’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Masked Singer<\/em><\/a> Season 5, Episode 11, \u201cThe Quarter Finals \u2014 Five Fan Favorites.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just how many people are performing as the Russian Dolls in The Masked Singer<\/em> Season 5? It was a secret no one knew \u2026 until the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

While Black Swan, Piglet, Yeti, and Chameleon are moving on, the Russian Dolls were eliminated. And in those costumes were none other than Isaac, Taylor, and Zac Hanson. And while there was a fourth Doll on stage at times, it wasn\u2019t their fourth brother, Mac. The only ones ever on the stage were Hanson and dancers.<\/p>\n

TV Insider spoke with the brothers about doing The Masked Singer<\/em>, the panelists\u2019 guesses (they sat down in the extra-large doll during Ken Jeong\u2019s), and more.<\/p>\n

Talk about the call to do <\/strong>The Masked Singer<\/em><\/strong>. Was it an immedia<\/a>te yes for all of you? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Zac Hanson:<\/strong> None of us watched The Masked Singer<\/em>, so it wasn\u2019t an immediate yes because it was first, \u201cI think I know what that is. Let\u2019s go make sure we know what that is.\u201d Any other year, we would have been touring, we would have been booked up. We would never have several months potentially in one sitting that weren\u2019t full of concerts. But because of 2020 and the inability to tour, it was something we could entertain. Pretty quickly it became, \u201cHey, this show is really about the spectacle of costumes and visuals and clues surrounding great performances and music.\u201d That\u2019s something that we liked the idea of being part of.<\/p>\n

What were the discussions like about the costume?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Isaac Hanson:<\/strong> It was a little bit tricky deciding what the costume would be because you\u2019re balancing the realities of, OK, there are three of us, so what do we do? Are we all in one costume? How would we even make that work? Then it\u2019s, what is a costume that could have a theme<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Zac: <\/strong>A bundle of bananas? No.<\/p>\n

Isaac: <\/strong>Exactly. Marina [Toybina], the main costume designer, quickly started to lean towards this Russian Doll idea and the fact that there was an element of being able to reveal [with the] multiple layers. We liked that, so we leaned into it and had fun with it and just said, \u201cHey, this is going to be a new adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talk about the song choices? Not only is it about choosing the right song but you were also trying to confuse everyone with just how many there were of you at times. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Taylor Hanson:<\/strong> Firstly, you\u2019re trying to do something entertaining so you\u2019re working with the show to think about arrangements and the different sounds, different things that other contestants are doing. We made a decision early on, \u201cHey, let\u2019s lean into our strengths. Let\u2019s lean into things that make us unique because other people can do vocal acrobatics and be soulful. But what we can do is we can harmonize, we can play off of each other.\u201d Then, of course, feedback from the show on songs other people had done and also not picking songs we had done as a band was important \u2014<\/p>\n

\"Masked<\/p>\n

Isaac:<\/strong> \u2014 and also tricky.<\/p>\n

Taylor:<\/strong> We couldn\u2019t pick anything that someone might be able to search and go, \u201cThat\u2019s definitely you because here\u2019s this YouTube video of you guys singing that song.\u201d We had to pick strategically songs that were different.<\/p>\n

Which song was your favorite?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Isaac: <\/strong>It\u2019s probably hard to beat \u201cMan in the Mirror\u201d for me on a personal level just because that\u2019s such a great song and it was really fun to be able to sing it. In the early years of performing, we did a cover of a Jackson 5 song, \u201cThe Love You Save.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zac:<\/strong> In the interest of variety, I will say \u201c24K Magic\u201d was very fun to perform because it\u2019s not really a singer song. It\u2019s so much more about hype man and creating an energy and very much something that we would never normally do, though it\u2019s a great song.<\/p>\n

Taylor:<\/strong> Every song presented different challenges. I did enjoy doing \u201cShallow\u201d because it was one of the songs that was such a dramatic, \u201cHere\u2019s one voice, here\u2019s another voice,\u201d and it\u2019s the closest song to doing something a cappella. It\u2019s a little bit of strings, a little bit of acoustic guitar, besides that it\u2019s really harmony. That put some focus on our singing. It\u2019s also a song that I don\u2019t think we would have chosen to perform in another setting.<\/p>\n

Isaac:<\/strong> But harmonically and stuff, it\u2019s more similar to things that we do with those more organic qualities. I thought it was interesting to me that [panelist] Nicole [Scherzinger]<\/a> commented when we did \u201cShallow,\u201d \u201cOh, that sounds to me like you guys were doing an original song.\u201d In some sense, I think that that part of us, the more organic qualities of who we are as a band, shine through in that particular performance for that reason.<\/p>\n

The panelists did figure you out. Who had you expected to guess you? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Taylor: <\/strong>Because we have a history with Jenny McCarthy<\/a> \u2014 we\u2019ve known her for a long time, we\u2019ve been on radio shows and TV shows of hers and we\u2019ve interacted for years \u2014 we actually all expected her to be the first to guess that it was us. That was probably the biggest surprise just from us sitting there. Nicole definitely got it first and we\u2019re glad at least that they did guess Hanson. Because we would like to at least be in the possible categories of ourselves.<\/p>\n

Zac:<\/strong> In my heart, I wanted Ken to get us first, just because Ken\u2019s so hopeless. [All laugh<\/em>]<\/p>\n

What are you going to take away from this experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Isaac: <\/strong>I have learned that I can survive performing in a large avocado.<\/p>\n

Zac:<\/strong> It was surprisingly enjoyable to do something so different from what we do. Performing just as singers is like performing with your arms tied behind your back because, as a musician, half of what you\u2019re doing is the way you\u2019re playing that instrument, that guitar, piano, or keyboard, whatever it is. [You] find new ways to connect with the audience. Suddenly you don\u2019t have your facial expression. Suddenly you don\u2019t really have the ability to move your arms or your legs very much. How do I communicate an energy and an expression through this new kind of shape? I\u2019ve got different things to work with. You can take that experience back and use it as you face new challenges with new musical projects.<\/p>\n
