On “The Masked Singer” finale on May 26, the last three celebrities in the competition will perform one more time as the Black Swan, Chameleon and Piglet. At the end of the hour, one of this talented trio will be named the winner of season 5 of this hit reality series. We’ve rewatched every one of the 10 episodes that led up to this final one and are absolutely convinced that we know who is hiding inside these costumes. Keep reading if you dare for all of “The Masked Singer” spoilers for the season 5 finale, including the real name of the Black Swan.
Forget all those misleading guesses by the four judges. We are 100% certain we know the real identity of the Black Swan who delivered a rollicking rendition of “Tequila” by Dan+Shay on the May 19 semifinal. That capped off a string of standout performances on the show beginning way back...

“The Masked Singer” semifinal on May 19 includes just one woman — the Black Swan — among the four remaining celebrity contestants. We think this powerhouse performer is the best singer still in the hunt to win the season 5 Golden Mask. She faces off against three fellows who are disguised as the Chameleon, Piglet and Yeti.
The Black Swan secured her place in the semis by winning over the four judges with her cover of the Ed Sheeran hit “Thinking Out Loud” on the May 12 episode. That was just the latest in a line of triumphs dating back to her first appearance on the show in Week 2 when she wowed the crowd with her cover of “Barracuda” by Heart.

As season 5 of “The Masked Singer” heads into the quarter-finals on May 12, the Black Swan is the last woman standing. She earned her slot in the Top 5 with her cover of the Stevie Wonder chart-topper “Do I Do” on the Week 8 episode of this reality competition series on May 5. We’ve been a fan of the Black Swan since she made her debut back in Week 2 with her rocking version of “Barracuda” by Heart.
To figure out which famous female singer is hiding inside the Black Swan costume, we went back and watched that performance as well as all of her others: “In My Blood” by Shawn Mendes in Week 4; “How Will I Know” by Whitney Houston in Week 5; and “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon in Week 7. And we’ve taken another look at her clever clues videos. Keep reading if you want to know as we have all “The Masked Singer” spoilers,...

Season 5 of “The Masked Singer” is woefully short on women contestants. Only three of them numbered among the 14 plus acts competing for the Golden Mask. Two of them have been sent packing — Phoenix (Caitlyn Jenner) and Seashell (Tamera Mowry). That leaves just the Black Swan still in contention. She sings again on the May 6 episode, “The Spicy 6 – The Competition Heats Up!”
We’ve gone back and watched her previous performances: “Barracuda” by Heart in Week 2; “In My Blood” by Shawn Mendes in Week 4; “How Will I Know” by Whitney Houston in Week 5; and “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon in Week 7. And we’ve taken another look at her clues videos. Keep reading if you want to know as we have all “The Masked Singer” spoilers, including the name of the Black Swan.
We agree with the four panellists that the star inside the Black Swan costume was a child star.

The Black Swan is the last woman standing on season 5 of “The Masked Singer.” She landed her spot in the Super 6 with her powerful performance of “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon on the April 21 episode. That quarter-final ended with the elimination of the other remaining female contestant, the Seashell, who turned out to be Tamera Mowry.
The Black Swan and the five remaining fellows are all showcased on the special episode of “The Masked Singer” airing April 28: “The Sing-a-Long: The Maskie Awards.” It includes clips of her previous performances that won over the four judges: “Barracuda” by Heart on March 17; “In My Blood” by Shawn Mendes on March 31; and “How Will I Know” by Whitney Houston on April 7.

No surprise that the Black Swan numbers among the Super 8 competing on “The Masked Singer” on April 21. She has impressed us with her vocal talents since her first appearance on St. Patrick’s Day when she wowed with her rendition of “Barracuda” by Heart. She returned two weeks later and nailed her cover of “In My Blood” by Shawn Mendes. On April 7, the Black Swan secured a place in the season 5 quarterfinal with a toe-tapping version of “How Will I Know” by Whitney Houston.
The judges have figured out that the Black Swan is a pop princess who started her career as a child. But they are wrong with their guesses that this is Demi Lovato or Ashley Simpson. Keep reading if you want to know as we have all “The Masked Singer” spoilers, including the name of the Black Swan.

Fans of the “The Masked Singer” contestants in Group B got a real treat on April 7 as these celebrities competed for the second episode in a row. These remaining contenders for the Golden Mask returned disguised as Black Swan, Chameleon, Crab and Piglet. We first saw all of these but Crab when Group B competed on St. Patrick’s Day. The crusty crustacean made his first appearance as the Wild Card on March 31, when Grandpa Monster was bounced and revealed by guest host Niecy Nash to be YouTube star Logan Paul.
We’ve been busy since then trying to figure out which famous faces are hiding beneath these elaborate masks.

The fourth episode of “The Masked Singer” on March 31 saw the return of four famous folks from Group B who had shone in their first appearance two weeks ago. Five celebrities had competed on episode 2 of season 5 on St. Patrick’s Day. Four — who were disguised as the Black Swan, Chameleon, Grandpa Monster and Piglet — won over the audience with their singing. The fifth, the Phoenix, failed to impress both the audience and the judges and was revealed by guest host Niecy Nash to be Caitlyn Jenner.
We’ve been busy since that second episode aired trying to figure out which famous faces are hiding beneath these elaborate masks.

Everyone who ever played Championship Manager has a nostalgic story or four, whether it was taking Fc Twente to two consecutive unbeaten seasons, European glory with Strasbourg or dragging Bournemouth to the Premier League (who knew?!), the nostalgia is almost as great as the experience was. Each new edition was met with increasing excitement as new features and leagues were added over time.
We all know what the best part of the game was however.
Championship Manager (and its spiritual successor Football Manager) is a football game played entirely on paper. Potential more often than not turned into real ability. This threw up a number of quirks in the game, where by previously anonymous players would become complete superstars. It was a world where Freddy Adu really became the next Pele, where a little known Belarussian kid became a world beater, where a Norwegian journeyman became the most important midfielder in world football.

Over the years there have been a number of players dubbed the ‘new Maradona’ or the ‘new Pele’ as talented stars get hyped up by agents and newspapers after demonstrating a moment of brilliance in a couple of games. Sometimes these players live up to the hype but occasionally the pressure gets to them and they are dubbed ‘flops’.
Others had huge expectations placed on them due to their form for previous clubs and large transfer fees. Here are some of the players who just did not really live up to the hype or expectations.
5. Freddy Adu
Freddy Adu is one of the classic examples of a player who was given too much too soon. Heavily hyped as a future superstar, he was given a professional contract by DC United at the age of 14, making him the youngest player ever to receive a professional footballing contract in the USA. He...

Since its birth, the FIFA franchise had taken the gaming market by storm. From the early days of FIFA ’96, users were able to recreate the magic of football in their living rooms and haven’t looked back since. The game has of course gone through a series of developments and changes, creating innovative, fresh ideas that have left their rivals in their smoke. In order to maintain superiority, EA will no doubt introduce new elements into the game to keep users on their toes, creating the illusion of unpredictability in their series.
One system that has remained relatively unchanged is the player rating system. Users are presented with an overall player rating score out of 100, which is based on a complex computation of all characteristics a player inherits. This leads to the common misconception that the higher the overall score, the better the player. Needless to say, this isn’t entirely true.
