The Masked Singer 13 Preview: Meet the Masks, Themes and MORE
The judges and host will enter the stage with a performance of “Get Lucky” alongside guests from past seasons, including The Masked Singer’s “Wasp,” Mario! A bunch of winning costumes are also part of the performance, but the celebrities are not inside them, of course.
Honey Pot
Clues: He’ll do anything for a laugh. He calls himself a founding father of comedy. He’s a movie star. He cuts hair on a woman’s wig.
Performance: Sexyback by Justin Timberlake – Comedians are typically bad singers. But Honey Pot isn’t terrible. Obviously not a professional singer, he is an entertaining performer. He might last a minute in this round. Jenny guesses Steve Harvey. Ken thinks it is Cedric the Entertainer. Rita guesses Keegan-Michael Key.
Ant
Clues: She’s been forced to bear a dark secret for her entire career. Bad people tried to erase her. She decided to fight and become a warrior.
Performance: Just Give Me A Reason by P!NK – Her clue package was weirdly ominous. She’s a decent singer, but nothing special. Still, all the judges are FAKE CRYING. She’s on stage tonight for “all the survivors.” She’s very emotional. Rita guesses Lea Michele. UH NOOOOOOO. Doesn’t even sound like her. That’s a bad guess. Robin guesses Lindsay Lohan. Jenny guesses Ashanti (Who is in Hawaii with American Idol as we speak!)
Prediction: Many on the internets believe Ant is Aubrey O’Day from the P Diddy Making the Band group Danity Kane. That tracks, considering P Diddy being unmasked as a predator. Also, she claims to have had an affair with Donald Trump Jr. while she competed on The Apprentice.
Paparazzo
Clues: The costume involves a giant old fashioned camera as a head. The lens has been pointed in his direction forever, Paparazzo claims. He never had the opportunity to sing and worked with the greats. He took America’s sweetheart to prom.
Performance: The Door by Teddy Swims – Pap went on and on about how he would probably suck on stage. But no, he’s not bad, actually! Nice smooth tone. No bad notes. I expected the joke performance of the night, but no. He hints that Steve Martin is his friend. Rita guesses Taron Egerton. Huh? Robin guesses Joseph Gordon Levitt. Ken KNOWS EXACTLY WHO IT IS. He guesses Kieran Culkin. Seriously, the best guess of the night. He starred in Father of the Bride with Martin.
Prediction: Many online believe Paparazzo is Matthew Lawrence who appeared in the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles with Steve Martin.
Fuzzy Peas
Clues: He speaks with a Spanish accent. He is third generation in his field. His mother loves music. He has a gold record. He spins a Golden Globe.
Performance: La Bamba by Ritchie Valens – So far every celebrity can carry a tune. No joke contestants yet. Fuzzy’s performance is energetic and fun. Plus, he brings his own flair to a classic song. He was nominated alongside Shakira and Christina Aguilera for a Grammy. Rita guesses Mario Lopez. Jenny guesses George Lopez. Robin guesses John Leguizamo. Mario and George don’t have musical careers.
Prediction: Some are saying Fuzzy Peas is Oscar de la Hoya who was a professional boxer. But he also sings. He was nominated in the Best Latin Pop Album category for the 2001 Grammy Awards
Coral
Clues: She dreamed of being a star. She was rejected for 8 years. Eventually, after a big break, her voice was heard across the globe.
Performance: Mad World by Tears for Fears – She performs the ballad arrangement (which every competition singer does at this point). She delivers a haunting performance. She brings on big notes and a dramatic pause at the end. Robin guesses Carly Rae Jepsen. Ken guesses Sabrina Carpenter (AS IF). Rita guesses Halsey.
Prediction: Lots of fans believe Coral is actress-singer Meg Donnelly from the Disney Zombies franchise.
Who is unmasked? RESULTS
After the audience and panel voted, the results are in. Leaving the competition tonight…Honeypot! This season, before the eliminated celebrity unmasks, Nick will reveal a BIG CLUE. Honeypot has a Walk of Fame star. Final guesses Robin: Martin Lawrence. Rita: Eddie Murphy Ken: Cedric the Entertainer Jenny guesses Cedric the Entertainer. And Honeypot is…Cedric the Entertainer. Nick jokes that he though it “was a white man in there.” Cedric gave Ken a job early in his career.
