Somewhat Loud

I've just been watching The Masked Singer Malaysia with Noi. In truth, I haven't a clue as to what it's all about, other than the fact than various semi-famous folk are singing wearing masks. It's all very bright and brash and definitely loud. By that, I don't mean the singing is particularly strident. Rather everyone commenting on or introducing the singing seems determined to shout - at each other, at the studio audience and at the viewer at home, in this case me.

It's all curiously surreal, possessed of an intensity far exceeding anything its content might reasonably deserve. I can't say I'm a fan, but I can just about understand the conspiratorial appeal of the show.
