The new season of the Israeli version of "The Masked Singer" premiered on Keshet 12, with singer Maya Buskila revealed as the "Swan" contestant during the launch episode. Buskila was eliminated early in the competition and removed her mask, taking the departure with humor.
Buskila suggested her "Swan" persona might not have resonated well with the audience. Beyond the performance aspect, Buskila found the show challenging due to the restrictive costume, admitting she wouldn't readily recommend it to others, especially those with claustrophobia. She revealed that her fear of enclosed spaces is so severe she has never undergone an MRI scan.
The singer explained that the masked format creates a unique dynamic, where the costume, not the performer, is directly judged by the audience. "It's not you competing, but a mask," she stated. Following her elimination, Buskila reflected that the "Swan" character was what faced the audience's judgment, with her true identity concealed. She concluded that the outcome might not reflect how the audience would have reacted to her performing without the disguise.
