Racing in Masked singer Prepare for the show in a number of ways, but few get help from their vocal coach inside the house. Paparazzo, however, was lucky enough to have a Grammy winner in his corner.
Warning: This post contains spoilers to Masked singer Season 13, Episode 10.
During Wednesday, April 16, the Episode of the Singing Fox Competition, Paparazzo was unguised as Matthew Lawrencewho finished his time in the series singing a song by his girlfriend Rosonda “Chilli” Thomas‘Band, TLC.
Lawrence, 45 years old, exclusively said The weekly that he was super scared to sing “Uncetty” given his personal connection to the melody.
“Are you kidding me?! I don’t want to butap her song,” The boy meets the world Alum was withdrawn. “To not mention I had to ask (Chilli’s) the friend of the gang (“T-boz” watkins), ‘because she wrote it. I had to get cleaning from it. I was like, ‘Oh, that’s shameful’. “
As for the way “Urty” even became an opportunity for him to sing, Lawrence has only blamed himself. When he was signed for Masked singerHe had to complete a form that listed some of his favorite songs, and he chose the TLC footprint as one of his “guilty pleasure”. He did not think that manufacturers would actually give him “Uncetty”, but he notes that he has loved the song since debuting in 1999.
“This bored thing was stuck in my head (when it came out),” he recalled. “Whenever I was in the shower or in the car, I sang it. So I wrote it, not thinking it would ever be resolved, but so it happened. They chose it! I was like,” Ok, uh, this will be interesting. “”
Chilli, 54, was apparently a good sport for the situation, even giving her boyfriend two years of some tips on how to belt.
“She is such a professional,” Lawrence withdrew. “The main advice was that you have to rittize yourself because you can lose your breath – really, really the rhythm of yourself when you sing, especially if you are moving around and doing things and worrying about all these things.
And was Chilli satisfied with her partner’s performance?
“Yes. Whether it is true or not, it made it look like it was very impressed,” Lawrence said. “She was so sweet, so supportive. She really loved ‘Hallujah’. That was her favorite.” ( Brotherly love Veteran sang Leonard CohenIconic song at night Shrek in February.)
While Lawrence made it far away Masked singer Given the lack of his singing experience, he said he had to be convinced to do the show due to a past trauma involving a failed Broadway audition.
“I have a real fear of singing,” the actor revealed. “I bombarded a really big audition in Broadway in front of many famous faces. It was terrible, really bad. It was for scaler to play Johnny Depp Character on the show, and they were making an adaptation for broadway. I don’t know if it’s ever done or whatever happened, ‘because I got it out of my memory. … And since then, I never returned to the stage. “
Lawrence is not sure that he is ready to start a new career as a pop star, but his time on the show – especially his triumph in Shrek Night – has helped him pour some of those phobias about singing.
“This is the season in my life, where I will start saying about things and not saying not so much and expel the fear and not live in that space anymore,” he explained. “That was the purpose of this. And it worked!”
