Random guesses - Mats Leven, Rick Altzi, and the requisite fantasy idea, Daniel Heiman.
 
Yeah, I saw those names popped on that page... Also someone said "Annette Olzon" after it was revealed the singer would be Swedish. I Lol'd.

I didn't bother reading the whole thread, but it seems like a reasonably small pool of potential people, since Masterplan's MO has been to hire well-known members.
 
And the winner of the Masterplan Vocalist Lottery is...Rick Altzi. I look forward to repeating this whole process of guessing at lineup changes sometime in late 2013/early 2014.
 
Here's the new band.
