The Masked Singer: Lou Bega surprises as a snowman and disappointed with odds!

In the fourth episode of "The Masked Singer", an unexpected star from the snowman costume was peeling on Saturday evening, December 7, 2024: the well-known musician Lou Bega. Despite this spectacular unveiling, the number of spectators remained behind the expectations. According to Berlin Live only switched on 0.32 million viewers aged 149, which corresponds to a disappointing market share of only 7.4 percent. The popular show did not even achieve a place among the 25 most viewed programs of the day in the overall audience, which further fueled the criticism.

The challenges for ProSieben are considerable, because even popular competitive formats can come up with higher number of spectators. For example, the film "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" rose to 0.44 million young spectators, and the RTL show "Because they don't know what was happening" had even more success with 0.47 million, as the ratings show. The situation raises questions about why "The Masked Singer" is currently losing popularity, and whether the strategy of producing two seasons per year should perhaps be covered.

Lou Begas surprising exit

The snowman was none other than the music legend Lou Bega, who caused a sensation worldwide with his hit "Mambo No. 5". In an interview, Bega commented on how challenging the masquerade was, while he also enjoyed creative freedom that offered him participation in this show. "It's already hard work!" He explained as he described his stay in the mask as extremely hot and sweaty. "What did I sign?!" Said Bega with wink when he addressed the challenges of the costume, as "https://www.prosieben.de/serien/the-masked-singer/news/der-schneemann-ist-in-fehn-und-dieser-weltsstar-darunter-auf-470124" ProSieben . Despite the early departure, he looked back on his experiences, which gave him the opportunity to discover new creative pages.
