I’ve been watching both The Masked Singerand American Idol since season 1, and I think that The Masked Singer is the better of the two reality singing competition series. The Masked Singer premiered in January 2019, and has aired for 13 seasons so far, while American Idol debuted in June 2002 and is now in season 23. Over the years, I’ve become obsessed with both shows because of their phenomenal performances and high entertainment values, but I’ve come to enjoy The Masked Singer better than American Idol in recent seasons.
