It's because everyone who finished above him were professional vocalists who have dedicated their entire lives to the craft. There was no way he was going to beat Seal or Wayne Brady in a singing competition, just like neither of them would have a chance against Victor in a basketball competition. He is extremely talented though. If they had to sing and then play some 1-on-1 he'd be the champion no contest.
Season 2 really showed how performing is more than just singing. Wayne Brady was just a step above everyone with not only his amazing voice, but his dancing and stage presence. I'm not saying no other celeb didn't have those qualities, but Wayne Brady/Fox was just the best
@@gengarcrobat1576 i would argue that season 2 showed the shift to valuing things besides the singing. Monster could barely move in his outfit so compared to Donnie that argument kinda goes out the window.
I’m rewatching this video for the third time this year cause I can’t get enough of his performances on this show! His voice is so smooth and comforting to the ear and soul
Im just gonna talk about the clues, that I remembered and the meaning: “You’ll always be my number 2” - he was pick number 2 in his draft Basketball shoes - nba player Cupcake with number 4 - His jersey number is 4 “I suffered a setback recently”, the guy wearing a knee brace- he recently injured his knee before the show The constant references to magic - he played for the Orlando magic for a few seasons “My parents came here from nothing and taught me the American dream” - his parents migrated from Nigeria The college degree - he does have a college degree in kinesiology “Keep up the pace” - at the time he played for the Indiana Pacers -he was an NBA all star The marriage him focusing on the ring - (I don’t think he was ever married or engaged) but it signifies him trying to get a championship ring The letter - He grew up in Maryland There are some others that I know mean something, but I can’t figure it out, feel free to correct me
Wow, his voice is BEAUTIFUL. He should really release an album of all these complete songs! Victor, put the basketball down and get behind the mic more often!
When you make not only people in the audience cry, BUT!! Also 1 of the best female vocalists as well, its probably a clue that you have something special
Best Athlete to perform on this show PERIOD! The judges kept complimenting Goo in Season 12 but I think they forgot about how awesome Thingamajig is ❤ GOAT
This show shows us just how many other stars are there who can really sing and probably have a carrier in the industry too, apart from the well known artist worldwide
When it rains, it pours But you didn't even notice it ain't rainin' anymore It's hard to breathe when all you know is The struggle of stayin' above the risin' water line Well, the sky has finally opened The rain and wind stopped blowin' But you're stuck out in the same ol' storm again You hold tight to your umbrella Well, darlin', I'm just tryin' to tell ya That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head If you could see what I see, you'd be blinded by the colors Yellow, red, and orange, and green, and at least a million others So tie up the bow, take off your coat, and take a look around 'Cause the sky has finally opened The rain and wind stopped blowin' But you're stuck out in the same ol' storm again You hold tight to your umbrella Well, darlin', I'm just tryin' to tell ya That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head Oh, tie up the bow, take off your coat, and take a look around Everything is alright now 'Cause the sky has finally opened The rain and wind stopped blowin' But you're stuck out in the same ol' storm again Let go of your umbrella 'Cause, darlin', I'm just trying to tell ya That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head Yeah, there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head Mm, mm, mm It'll all be alright
He sounds like John Legend at some points. I'm not into sports too but was amazed by his voice. He is also a smart singer 'cause of his song choices, did suit his voice.
i just watch this thingamajig singing rainbow by kacey musgraves and think that this man has similar voice color with john legend. and i'm right, he sang ordinary people. and something that make it so extraordinary is he’s basketball player omg. how can a basketballer does that
In my opinion, he sings love songs or slow tempo songs better than upbeat songs. Take Rainbow and Ordinary People, those are the best performances he had in my opinion
Yes I always replay this or watching everyday because of victor oladipo perodemamce wowww he had a beautiful voice and hes an nba all star and and award winning in nba and he deserved to have an album but I hope soon he had an album and I hope he will back this season in nba salute to you victor Oladipo one of my idol in nba and humble great I hope he join again in this masked singer👑❤💪
didnt realize how easily the hints gave him up😭😭 pacers reference, bball shoes #4 and an all the stars black panthers/ orlando magic reference is hilarious
I came across him as a singer first, imagine my surprise when he comes up on Google as a pro-athlete! He’s got such a smooth voice and his tone is great 🎶 😍. So many pro-singers these days aren’t even coming close to his talent!
That's our Dipo! He plays on the Heat now; unfortunately he tore his knee in the third game of the Playoffs and is out indefinitely. God we need him right now... we're running on a skeleton crew...
I knew it was Vic the minute I saw the clues! The mentions of “feathery”, “keep up the pace”, and “magic”, (played for the Pacers at the time, drafted second by the Magic, and his nickname is “Mr. Feathery) the 4 in the cupcake is his number & the day he was born (5/4) and the cupcake is red and white - he went to IU and those are their colors! Not to mention the outfit too. Blue and gold for the Pacers, the feathers are the same color as the Magic’s mascot, and he had a “cut” in his suit right where his injury was!
I don't know how Victor didn't win this season or even at least go much further. He is extremely talented.
It's because everyone who finished above him were professional vocalists who have dedicated their entire lives to the craft. There was no way he was going to beat Seal or Wayne Brady in a singing competition, just like neither of them would have a chance against Victor in a basketball competition.

Rottweiler should’ve won with Thingamajig as 2nd
I think
1st: Rottweiler
2nd: Thingamajig
3rd: Flamingo
Victor can really sing. His voice is so relaxing. "Rainbow" made me come here to hear all his songs lol. Give him an album, y'all!
His "Rainbow" made my heart flutter. 🥺🥺
Me too
Victor is a beautiful singer and his kind soul was shining throughout this performance.
The choice of his songs is so unique and romantic 😍
Couldn't agree more
IKR
@Victor Kyando, you said it!
If you can't recover from injuries, singing will be the best way out victor! I will be one of your million of fans.
I keep coming back and listening to him. I so like his voice. Definitely deserves an album.
He had one before this even dropped👀
Me too i keep watching him sing rainbow
Victor deserves an album.
Maybe your right cause he is always hurt playing ball. But sick singing. Really really great sjnger
He could afford to build his own studio, market his music and distribute his content globally.
@@xofmetleh6618 he will bounce back this season, just wait and see
@@xofmetleh6618 he’s super cheap to the heat this year, he’s 100% coming back this season.
hes got hella songs released
I’m rewatching this video for the third time this year cause I can’t get enough of his performances on this show! His voice is so smooth and comforting to the ear and soul
Victor Oladipo, ur voice is so out of this planet. Full of soul.. 🥰🥰His
RAINBOW is the best for me👍👍😍
Wwe2k15
The covers are sometimes better than the originals.
True
@Trent Miles thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it!
@Lucas Sage No problem :)
True😃
Espetacular
Im just gonna talk about the clues, that I remembered and the meaning:
“You’ll always be my number 2” - he was pick number 2 in his draft
Basketball shoes - nba player
Cupcake with number 4 - His jersey number is 4
“I suffered a setback recently”, the guy wearing a knee brace- he recently injured his knee before the show
The constant references to magic - he played for the Orlando magic for a few seasons
“My parents came here from nothing and taught me the American dream” - his parents migrated from Nigeria
The college degree - he does have a college degree in kinesiology
“Keep up the pace” - at the time he played for the Indiana Pacers
-he was an NBA all star
The marriage him focusing on the ring - (I don’t think he was ever married or engaged) but it signifies him trying to get a championship ring
The letter - He grew up in Maryland
There are some others that I know mean something, but I can’t figure it out, feel free to correct me
Wow ur a real fan
I knew as soon as he started singing, recognized the voice from the nba awards show, so good
The suit colours are also pacer colours
He was drafted br "ORLANDO MAGIC"
Star wars and cupcake also means may 4th, which is his birthday
Wow, his voice is BEAUTIFUL. He should really release an album of all these complete songs! Victor, put the basketball down and get behind the mic more often!
The tone is stunning and that winter wonderland cover was just chefs kiss
All his song choices complimented his voice, excellent dude knows his thing. Victor should sing for a Disney Movie.
Especially the rainbow felt like watching a Disney short film
YES him singing as a prince or something would be perfect
Imagine having this voice and only have singing as your back up plan! 😍😍😍
I officially have a crush on Victor/Thingamajig ❤️💕
same😍😍😍
@@jemileeregino1733 just call me Niamajig! kinda catchy huh?😊🤭😉
Me 2 😍
I have it on in his voice🥺😍
same hehehhee.. i always watch him ..again and again
I’ve never entertained, stunned and amazed like this before
Wtf men.
I know you can sing but with this level. Omg
No editing of voice..
I love the Thingamajig! He was my favorite male contestant in S2 (my favorite TMS season!) Victor Oladipo was awesome out there! ✨
Victor singing voice is so addicted and chillin give this man an album asap
Honestly his renditions are way better than originals
I'm amazed I'm surprised. Victor Oladipo is very talented. Love his voice.
3 years ago I've listen to his rendition on Rainbow qnd still I'm here...2023
I can’t stop listening to this😫 Victor u really nailed it!!!!🥺🥰🥰🥰
When you make not only people in the audience cry, BUT!! Also 1 of the best female vocalists as well, its probably a clue that you have something special
He may not have won the golden mask. But he won Nicole's heart ❤️
Nicole Sure has a thing for the tall guys. Does she?
@@shortie778 isn't lewis Hamilton like 4'3 🤣🤣
@@shortie778 nick hexum is 6'3"..so, probably..
Im so amazed to Victor, he's just amazingly talented human hes not just good nba player but also a very good singer, hats off to you.
Best Athlete to perform on this show PERIOD! The judges kept complimenting Goo in Season 12 but I think they forgot about how awesome Thingamajig is ❤ GOAT
They both were awesome though!❤
Rainbow & Ordinary People is soooo DOPE!!!!
I think he didn't sing the Ordinary People live.... they play the original, just for the performance.
I love seeing Ken be right after everyone doubts him
Man that michael buble cover is underrated 🔥
I'd like to hear his version of that song by MB. And the back up dancer's to, they performed accordingly to that song.
Man so lucky to hear him sing. I'll treasure it.
I never watched this show…now I’m getting hooked it’s a pretty cool concept
He should be a singer . Recording artist .. that voice is dope!!!
I just swoon every time I watch and listen to him…wow…just wow
The version of rainbow of victor olidipo always bring me a goosebumps when i listen into it
Yeah me too so beautiful
This show shows us just how many other stars are there who can really sing and probably have a carrier in the industry too, apart from the well known artist worldwide
I'm obsessed with Victor, such a talented lad😍😍😍
me too😍
this voice is so comforting and relaxing i love it
Saw this on twitter and had to find it how beautiful was this. He’s amazing
Disney better cast him
I love his voiceeeeee. Makes me wanna fall inlove again hahahahaha
Honestly, we need the full version of the Rainbow by Victor Oladipo. ❤️🥰
Because of Thingamajig I sort to love those music he was singing,
Nakaka inlove ang voice.. Hahaha
Akala ko sa basketball lang magaling.. I love it
❤❤❤ I've been a fan of his for years. I guessed Victor, T-Pain & Wayne Brady correctly ❤🎉😊
When it rains, it pours
But you didn't even notice it ain't rainin' anymore
It's hard to breathe when all you know is
The struggle of stayin' above the risin' water line
Well, the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same ol' storm again
You hold tight to your umbrella
Well, darlin', I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head
If you could see what I see, you'd be blinded by the colors
Yellow, red, and orange, and green, and at least a million others
So tie up the bow, take off your coat, and take a look around
'Cause the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same ol' storm again
You hold tight to your umbrella
Well, darlin', I'm just tryin' to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head
Oh, tie up the bow, take off your coat, and take a look around
Everything is alright now
'Cause the sky has finally opened
The rain and wind stopped blowin'
But you're stuck out in the same ol' storm again
Let go of your umbrella
'Cause, darlin', I'm just trying to tell ya
That there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head
Yeah, there's always been a rainbow hangin' over your head
Mm, mm, mm
It'll all be alright
Damn he did that john legend perfect👌
okayyyy so now I have a new nba crush😍 gosh that voice melts my ventricles
He sounds like John Legend at some points. I'm not into sports too but was amazed by his voice. He is also a smart singer 'cause of his song choices, did suit his voice.
Funny you notice that , Victor sang Maybach Curtains after the time he got drafted
i just watch this thingamajig singing rainbow by kacey musgraves and think that this man has similar voice color with john legend. and i'm right, he sang ordinary people. and something that make it so extraordinary is he’s basketball player omg. how can a basketballer does that
Rainbow always makes me wanna cry
His easy like Sunday morning was PHENOMENAL!!!❤
In my opinion, he sings love songs or slow tempo songs better than upbeat songs. Take Rainbow and Ordinary People, those are the best performances he had in my opinion
Mr. Chow was on point! 💪😁
Excellent performance Victor! Nice cover of ordinary people! 👌👍
i loved his voice from day 1....
His Rainbow cover so good! I wanna have the full song
I love when he sang rainbow. 😍😍😍 my heart!!! ❤
So proud of you Victor.
You're great basketball player but dude you're such an amazing singer.. bravoo

He is my idol in basketball and also in singing.
Im so inlove, my heart omg😩 i love all the songs he pick so romantic🤗🖤
I’m flabbergasted at the talent this man has. He should cut an album with Dame Dollar
His voice is like those prime singers back in the 60's and 70's, those you find playing with trumpets
FEB-19-2022 still love this song frome tha phillippines
This dude just made in 2nd round NBA playoffs.
Lmaoooo fr though. With jimmy out

@@alexcorden6375 and it seems like they have a bright chance to make it to finals
@@renjunbringslightintothewo9476 let’s go HEAT ☄️
these background dancers deserve a bonus
His voice is smooth, buttery and velvety.
Ugh! That voice! An album please! 😁🙏🙏🙏
He didn’t win because everyone was anxious to know who he was! 😂
I subscribed this channel because of Victor 🥺💚
Hahaha me too

Thingamajig, The Sun & The Bull are all amazing.
What a talented man.. god loves u victor

He's a really good basketball player. He was out hurt for a while. Maybe when he retires.....
That's our Dipo! He plays on the Heat now; unfortunately he tore his knee in the third game of the Playoffs and is out indefinitely. God we need him right now... we're running on a skeleton crew...
I wish there was a full song of his version of Winter Wonderland. It has a Bob Marley vibe and I’m here for it.
Wow Victor Oladipo really showed up in Singing stage x court
I just discovered today in 2024 that Victor can sing so I'm watching this lol
The choice's of he's song is so damm perfect 😍
I just saw a short clip on fb, and now I’m here , keep on searching for his songs.. I can listen to him all day long 🤎
When i see this I subscribe to him hahaha cause he deserved people who listen to his voice
Victor Oladipo sings better than some legit RnB singers
So beautiful 😍 🤩!
He’s such a good singer
I'm inlove with Victor's voice❤
This guy could easily become a jazz singer instead of playing basketball
What a talented young man
I knew it was Vic the minute I saw the clues! The mentions of “feathery”, “keep up the pace”, and “magic”, (played for the Pacers at the time, drafted second by the Magic, and his nickname is “Mr. Feathery) the 4 in the cupcake is his number & the day he was born (5/4) and the cupcake is red and white - he went to IU and those are their colors!

One of the top ten ones i liked 👍 👌 😎 💯 😊
I don't particularly like "ordinary people" but I appreciate how hard that song is, he nailed it!
Rainbow song is now my favorite because of this 💕
From tiktok dinala ako dito ilove this😍😍
I so love your rainbow cover 😭😭
It's so obvious that the "judges" already knew who he was.. They were just assisting the audience on figuring it out
They liked the girl’s reaction so much they used it twice lol 1:54 and 4:52
A dam shame
