Despite his magnificent revival of the piece Living with the one you love by Francine Raymond, it is the Unicorn who was unmasked, Sunday evening, on the show Masked singers.
The latter, who was accompanied on stage by a circus artist, amazed the investigating judges with her well-felt vocal surges. And if some thought that Nathalie Simard was in the costume, Anouk Meunier was right.
It was the actress Debbie Lynch-White who presented herself in the romantic guise of the Unicorn throughout the competition. A suit made to measure for her.

“I loved my journey. I was given big vocal tunes, big ones power ballads. “What I’m not necessarily often given to sing on TV,” she said in an interview with the QMI Agency.
“I loved learning, better and better, how to handle the costume. For me the unicorn was a character. From week to week, I developed an ease in playing with her. I understood better and better the way she moved and how to direct her so that she had this or that emotion. I put myself into actress mode. It was puppetry,” added the actress, laughing.
“The first time I put on the costume, I immediately knew it would be a challenge. The vision was really not good. It was particularly hot. I had hooves for hands and I could barely do anything. They were stuck on the dress and I couldn’t get them off. I was completely dependent on everyone. My nose was itchy, it was them who scratched me,” she confided.

Debbie Lynch-White, who can often be heard singing for roles or on variety shows, such as Live from the universeadmitted in an interview that she couldn’t wait to be asked to participate in the show.
“Every season, I said to myself: “Well see, why aren’t they calling me? I can’t wait to do that myself.” It’s like something you never experience. I felt like singing and I also felt a little like seeing the face of my friend Sam Breton. I was sure he was going to guess me from the start,” said the actress who “flipped” upon hearing the suspicions of the judges, some of whom believed they were dealing with Lara Fabian.
“Anouk was good. When she started making connections and talking about the theater company I had in 2010… that no one has heard of, I was like “OK, she did her research, She”. I was afraid she would give the others a heads-up.”
Debbie Lynch-White, who would like to “develop the singer more in the coming years” will accompany Pierre Lapointe for a series of shows on the holiday tour, Winter songsin mid-November.
She will also present the show Monitored and punishededited with Safia Nolin, in Ottawa, in the coming weeks. They will then present it in Paris in January.
Masked singers is presented on Sundays, at 6:30 p.m., on TVA.
