Masked Singer Reveals Artist Behind One of the '90s Most Infectious Songs
Masked Singer Reveals Artist Behind One of the '90s Most Infectious Songs
No pressure to Group B on The Masked Singer, but its the 1960s all over again, and only one Mask can survive the night to make it to the Quarterfinals. That's right, it's time for another Double-Elimination!
This was the toughest night of the competition yet as Bluebell, Goo, and Wasp have all proven they can sing. In fact, after taking out Laverne Cox and Andy Richter in the previous two weeks, there are no more obvious choices left. All three of these singers are real vocal powerhouses who could take this competition all the way.
The only hope for one of them -- outside of winning the night -- was that this being the Group B Finals means the Ding-Dong-Keep-It-On Bell is back in play, since the panel did not use it for Group A. Would they use it tonight or would they try to save it for the Group C Final coming in three more weeks?
Either way, somebody is going home tonight. It's just a matter of who … and how many of them. But before we can get to those big reveals, we need to get through what are genuinely some of the best performances in the history of this show. If we were wearing masks while watching, they'd have been blown off by what went down tonight!
Let's jump right in with this week's mask. And don't worry, before we get to the shocking unmasking(s), we're going to make you power through the terrible (and occasionally good) guesses made by our illustrious panel of Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Rita Ora first. We do this because we love ... to torture you.
("Fun, Fun, Fun," The Beach Boys) Considering what we know these three are capable of, we found ourselves a little underwhelmed by the energy level of this opening number. This is a high-energy song about having a good time (at least until Daddy takes the T-Bird away). They were vocally all three solid and pretty equal, with Wasp coming out the weakest at the start, but nailing that high note at the end. They were good, but this wasn't great.
("House of the Rising Sun," The Animals) Goo gave everything he didn't have in that opening number to this one, offering a full-on rock concert experience the likes of which we've rarely seen ever on this show. He left the audience, the panel, and even us at home stunned as he dropped into the basement to start this before belting an incredible chorus, hitting high notes and wailing like a soul singer who just found the Lord. This was on another level. Just crazy good!
Clues & Guesses: The latest batch of clues featured Goo giving himself a year to meet his goal, and persevering. Nevertheless, he said that he's only now starting to truly believe in himself. Throughout, he held gold coins, a conductor's baton, and moved a rook chess piece.
We also saw the sheet music on the music stand that was also holding that baton, a bag of those gold coins, as well as cotton candy being slung behind him, and a blue rotary phone which he answered when he said he got that "rare call" which put him on the "rise."
His on-stage clue was an "Inventions of the '60s," JELL-O. Inside was a large whistle, which got Goo singing, "O say can you see," before adding, "That has a special meaning to me in more than one way."
In his second week's clue package, Goo headed to a theme park, where we learned about his fiancee and how she helped pull him out of being "frustrated and grumpy" in a happy place by asking him to dance. Visual clues in the story included a church robe with a cross on it, a golden ticket, and a bowl of fried ice cream … maybe an empanada?
His toy clue looked like the whole damned Malibu Barbie Dream House. "This right here is a dream house," Goo explained, "which is pretty fitting for Robin, because I know he's a fan."
The first thing we noticed was how enormous Goo is, with his shoulders appearing to be at the very least even with Nick Cannon's 6'0" frame. That fits as his Masked Ambassador, Keenan Allen (a.k.a. Season 9's gargantuan Gargoyle) talked about how, like his journey, this will show a softer side of Goo.
The mask himself then dropped a football hint right away while showing a fishing tackle box and talking about how he wanted to "tackle everything" that came his way while growing up. He admitted to being sensitive when he was younger about tough days at school that left him in tears, but found inspiration when his brother started playing guitar.
We saw a train pulling a car filled with disco balls, as well as a French horn while he talked about becoming a "music nerd" involved with an a cappella group and music lab, even winning awards for his efforts. On stage, we got to see music cleats, with Goo adding, "For me, you may want to focus on the sole of the shoes."
Rita went with 2024 NBA All-Star game player Anthony Hamilton, who has curated a lot of careers, thus the baton. Ken, though, stood up to salute the towering 6'4" Brian McKnight (a.k.a. his guess). He tied the go
