The first leg of the competition seemed (at least as it sounded to me) to be booked specifically to put Harp (who I firmly believe to be A.R. but I don't want to get in trouble by writing the name out. First post here, don't know if speculation of that sort is permitted) into the Semi Finals.

The reason I say that is, except for maybe Panther, there was no one she faced in all 3 episodes who had a chance/approached her league on a singing level. Some may have had better direct active performance but her singing ability more than made up for her inability to work the stage.

Simply put, it appeared/appears to me that Harp's competition was specifically chosen to ensure that she would end up in the semi-final with minimal difficulty and to showcase her talent.

By comparison, all three performers on Andrew Lloyd Webber Night starting the second leg of the competition, were strong singers and performers overall. They appeared to be actual competition for each other, and needed to be strong talents given the subject material they were assigned. There was no clear, obvious winner through the episode and they all seemed worthy competition for one another.

Thoughts?

TL:DR First 3 episodes seemed like just a showcase for Harp's talent. Actual Masked Singer competition began on episode 4.
