'The Masked Singer' Season 11 judge Robin Thicke criticized for not doing justice

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: In the latest third episode of 'The Masked Singer' Season 11, Robin Thicke stole the spotlight with his mesmerizing performance of the timeless hit 'My Life' by iconic musician Billy Joel.

Robin Thicke's rendition of the beautiful song left the studio crowd in awe of his talent and vocal prowess. The singer's powerful delivery and emotional connection to the song truly brought the performance to life, earning him praise from his fellow judges Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Rita Ora, and Ken Jeong. 

Throughout his performance, Thicke displayed his exceptional vocal abilities and aimed to dazzle not only the audience but also the fans watching the popular reality show from their television screens.

Despite his efforts, it appeared that Thicke failed to win over the fans, with many taking to social media to voice their disappointment in his singing skills.

An X user said, "Robin Thicke covered Billy Joel’s “My Life” on The Masked Singer tonight, and that was the worst song performance I’ve ever seen in my life. Just so very no."

Another social media user chimed in, "Awful."

A user went on to say, "Won’t be singing on Marvin Gaye Night."

One user said, "I didn’t like it sorry - nope not a Billy Joel song."

Another user shared, "#RobinThicke should never, ever try to remake a #BillyJoel song...EVER."

How much money does Robin Thicke get paid for 'The Masked Singer'?

Robin Thicke has been a judge on Fox's singing show 'The Masked Singer' since its debut season. The exact amount of Thicke's salary for his appearance on the show has not been disclosed publicly.

However, according to an estimation made by TheThings.com, it is speculated that Thicke earns approximately $100,000 for each episode. This estimate aligns with other sources that have also suggested a similar figure.

In a recent interview with Billboard, Thicke revealed his plans to not only fulfill his judging responsibilities but also to venture into the release of fresh music in the coming times.

“My home burned down in the [2018] Malibu fires, so I’ve been on the road for four years and having children, so I have a big vault of unreleased music," he told the media outlet.

Thicke went on to say, "Since we moved back to the Malibu house, the past eight or nine months have been the most productive I’ve been for years. I’m excited for new music at the top of 2024… I have 75 percent of the album done.”
