The Masked Singerreturned to FOX on March 11 for their Care Bear theme night. This week, there was no guest on the panel, only recurring panelists Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, and Rita Ora.
Christina Perri, Pangolin Seen in The Same Room
The first performer of the night, Pangolin sang “Flashdance… What a Feeling” by Irene Cara. There was no traditional clue package shown for the celebrity. Instead, Christina Perri confirmed that it is not her behind the mask. Instead she admitted that she and Pangolin like a night out together.
Pangolin even said her girls nights with Perri were some of the most meaningful nights of her career. During Care Bear night, panelists guessed Pangolin was Meghan Trainor (Ken Jeong), Jennifer Nettles (Jenny McCarthy), or Vanessa Carlton (Rita Ora).
The second performer of the night was High Voltage, who said they were feeling “super charged.” His single clue of the night was a guy riding a horse. The celebrity behind High Voltage sang “Bad Day” by Daniel Powter.
High Voltage then said the panelists were missing that he loves country music, knows how to make an entrance, and he’s been feeling 22 for a long time. Panelists guessed High Voltage could be Dax Shepard (Robin Thicke), Travis Kelce (Ken Jeong), or Rich from Big and Rich (Rita Ora).
Pugcasso Tells Panelists to Stop Throwing Paint at The Wall
Next singer in the episode was Pugcasso. For his one colossal clue, Pugcasso admitted that he’s been in another competition before, the olympics! His physical clue was an olympic torch. The celebrity went on to sing “Dreams” by The Cranberries before discussing his clue more.
He admitted that the olympics changed his life and never imagined he’d have the whole’s attention. Panelists guessed he could be Gavin Degraw (Jenny McCarthy), Jason Mraz (Rita Ora), or Pat Monahan (Ken Jeong).
The final singer of the episode was Crane. Crane admitted in the clue that panelists have thrown out the wrong name twice in a row. The clue for Crane was a football player getting down on one knee with a ring. The celebrity went on to sing “Good Luck Babe” by Chappell Roan.
Crane just kicked off her next chapter with a major win, and she couldn’t be happier. Panelists guessed this was Taylor Swift (Ken Jeong), or Normani from Fifth Harmony (Rita Ora and Jenny McCarthy).
High Voltage Unmasked as Alexi Lalas
The two saved celebrities of the episode are Crane and Pugcasso. Crane and Pugcasso are officially the first semifinalists of the season! This left Pangolin and High Voltage up for elimination. To figure out who would be continuing in the competition, the pair sang “I’m So Excited” by Pointer Sisters, together.
After the performance, the winner of the competition was announced as Pangolin. Pangolin is the third celebrity set to appear in the semifinals. High Voltage, on the other hand would be unmasked. Before the celebrity was unmasked, his top secret clue was a pair of gold, sparkly cleats.
Panelists locked in their final guesses of Tom Brady (Robin Thicke), Julian Edelman (Jenny McCarthy), Jason Sudeikis (Rita Ora), or Travis Kelce (Ken Jeong). Last minute, panelists realized that High Voltage’s head was a light up soccer ball, yet they decided not to change their guesses. High Voltage was then unmasked as sport analyst Alexi Lalas.
The Masked Singer returns to FOX on Wednesday, March 18 at 8PM for Star Trek night. Be sure to tune in so you don’t miss a minute of the competition.
