The Masked Singer: What We Know So Far

It’s Wednesday, the day of our favorite show of all time-ish!

The Masked Singer will reveal the identity of another masked singer tonight, which means it’s time to pull out our collection of clues to start agonizing over them once again. Three singers have been unmasked so far after losing out on audience votes after their performances, and we can’t say we were sad to see them go or shocked by their reveals. 

The Hippo was the first to go, and he was revealed to be Antonio Brown—NFL wide receiver, DWTS alum, and a guy famous for getting in trouble for his touchdown dances. The Pineapple left next, and no one was truly surprised to find out that the weed-smoking Hawaiian-themed goofball was Tommy Chong. Last week, The Deer took off his mask, revealing himself to be former NFL player and current Fox sports commentator Terry Bradshaw, whose name was trending after his very first performance on the show, so that was also not a surprise. 

All are relatively well-known names, but no true celebrity superstars as of yet. 

We’ve now heard every single competitor sing at least once, and half have sung twice and given us two sets of clues. Some of these sets of clues made sense, and others have only made us more confused, and all we really know for sure is that we know nothing, and we’re having a good time. 

E! News had panelist Robin Thicke in studio this morning, and of course, he couldn’t spill a single word on who’s under those masks. What he could say was that the reveal that shocked him the most came in the last episode. 

“The most shocking reveal is actually in the last…at the end. I was blown away by the last episode,” he said, only able to tell us that whoever it is is a “superstar.” 

So we’ve got a ways to wait to be as shocked as Robin Thicke was, but in the meantime, we’ve got a whole bunch of clues to parse through, starting with the mysterious singers we know the most about, simply because we’ve seen them perform more than once.

Week 3: Performed “Feeling Good” 

The new clues: Feels like she’s on cloud nine and could be a frontrunner, has always loved to sing but the mask makes her feel courageous, using her voice to help others has always been very important, tells her pride they have to be strong and stand up for what they believe in, lots of images of protests, reading a newspaper called “The Hailey Times,” with the headline  “Gold Found in Hailey” 

Our Best Guess: Rumer Willis. For a lot of reasons, including a family of Hollywood royalty with lots of sisters, but she was born in Hailey, Idaho! She’s also a proven incredible singer.

Week 2: Performed “Rainbow” by Kesha

The Clues: Spent her life listening to other people’s stories and now wants to share hers, always been a sunny kind of person, never had trouble getting an audience, no one talks more than her, but recently suffered a tragic loss, so this show gives an opportunity to honor “my beloved,” found beauty in the darkness, like a phoenix from the ashes, I will rise up and find a light, so “don’t cry, baby, this one’s for you.” Dressed like a raven in a cage, says she’s a lover not a fighter and that she did host a talk show.

Our Best Guess: Ricki Lake, and Twitter seems to agree.

Performed “Heartbreaker” by Pat Benatar 

The Clues: Ever since she was a little girl she’s loved to be on stage and to take on a character. She picked a poodle because it’s sassy, smart, and best in show. She loves San Francisco and comes from a musical family, but she’s known for a different talent. She loves exercising her right to free speech and rainbows are involved. She’s returning to musical roots to show a side never seen before, and to figure her out we’re all going to have to WORK. She says “I’m here for your honor.” 

Our Best Guess: Absolutely no idea, and nothing on Twitter made sense either. Margaret Cho? Ali Wong? A drag queen? What does “I’m here for your honor” mean?!
