It’s finally time for the big reveal. With only two contestants left in the game show, we’re sooooo close to finding out who the Masked Singerseason 11 winner is.
The Masked Singer is based on South Korea’s King of the Mask Singer, which follows a similar format. Since the premiere of The King of the Mask Singer in 2015, The Masked Singer has expanded to dozens of countries across the world including France, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Brazil. “It was flypaper TV right from the get-go,” The Masked Singer executive producer Craig Plestis told The Hollywood Reporter in 2019 about why he wanted to produce the show in the United States. “I just knew right away this was a special show. It was unbelievable in its appeal — and the game play, spectacle, family-viewing…[and] it was this huge hit in Asia…. If we do the job here, it should work here.”
The Masked Singer premiered in 2019 with host Nick Cannon and judges Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke, and Nicole Scherzinger. Scherzinger was the first judge to leave following Season 10 and was replaced in Season 11 by singer Rita Ora, who was also a judge on The Masked Singer UK for five seasons.
So we’ll get right to it, who is The Masked Singer season 11 winner? Read more to find out.
Who is The Masked Singer Season 11 winner?
The Masked Singer season 11 winner hasn’t been revealed yet. Who could it be? Goldfish or Gumball?
Many people on The Masked Singersub-Reddit and on X have predicted that Goldfish might be the winner for this season because she’s been the star of all the promotions. “Goldfish is being advertised a lot similar to queen of hearts and harp was before their season started. I’m 99% sure she wins it all and who is under the mask, one Redditor said. Another said, “Take a look at the remaining 9 celebrities none of them have the current relevance as her.”
But we’ll only know who the actual winner is when the finale airs.
Who is Goldfish on The Masked Singer season 11?
Our best guess for Goldfish on The Masked Singer Season 11 is Vanessa Hudgens, an actress and singer best known for movies like the High School Musical franchise. Goldfish sang “vampire” by Olivia Rodrigo, who Hudgens shares a role with. They both played Gabriella in High School Musical and the Disney+ spinoff High School Musical: The Musical: The Series.
In her clues, Goldfish also revealed how acting and music affected her relationships. “Sometimes the most transformative moments are actually breakups. I always thought I would be married young, like my mom, but dating in Hollywood is hard, and this Goldfish wasn’t always lucky.” Hudgens was in two different high-profile relationships with her High School Musical co-star Zac Efron and fellow actor Austin Butler.
Other clues include a vampire bat, and holding up a snowglobe that may allude to her dual role in The Princess Switch. “When you’re young and suddenly a role model, there’s a lot of expectations,” Goldfish lamented of her overnight fame.
Who is Gumball in The Masked Singer Season 11?
Scott Porter, an actor best known for shows like Friday Night Lights and Heart of Dixie, is our best guess for Gumball on The Masked Singer Season 11. As for why, he’s dropped some very obvious hints about his career. Visual clues included angel wings and a halo, the moon, the globe as a bowling ball, and a prom king sash.
“I’ve always felt like I was pretending to be something else. My family moved around a lot as a kid, and as the perpetual new guy, I would do anything to make friends. Even when I started performing on stage, I always felt out of place. I have no formal training, no education.”
Porter confirmed in an interview with Theater Mania in 2010 that he never studied theater before his career as an actor. “My high school in Florida didn’t have the budget for drama classes. See, that’s what happens when states cut arts budgets,” he said. “I’ve been fortunate my entire career to work with outstanding performers, and I’m actually the type of person who learns more from watching than from being told. Plus, I grew up in a very musical family; my dad plays drums and my mom was a singer.”
The Masked Singer was hit with another double elimination tonight (February 10) as Air Fryer and Eiffel Tower were voted out before the final.
For the first unmasking, Air Fryer was revealed to be The Greatest Showman star Keala Settle. The British singer has also starred in many musicals including Sister Act, & Juliet, and Waitress.
For the second unmasking of the evening, iconic ’80s singer Tiffany was unveiled as Eiffel Tower. The chart-topping star rose to fame after her debut single I Think We’re Alone Know became a global smash.

Masked Singer: Air Fryer revealed
While making it to the semi-finals, the panel failed to guess Air Fryer’s identity. For their final guesses, they went with the likes of Jennifer Hudson, Ella Henderson, Whoopi Goldberg, and Rebel Wilson.
When Air Fryer revealed themselves as Keala, the panel was left stunned.
“Not even close,” Davina McCall admitted while the audience laughed.
She added: “You’ve done such a good job disguising your voice.”
While referencing her costume, Jonathan Ross asked if Keala owned an air fryer at home, to which she responded: “I do have an air fryer and I absolutely love it!”
Talking about her time on the show, Keala said it was a “massive learning experience” and a “game changer.”
“I’m pleased and privileged to be able to do it.”
Tiffany was unveiled as Eiffel Tower (Credit: ITV)
Eiffel Tower revealed
Like Air Fryer, Eiffel Tower was a killer vocalist with pipes. For the panel’s final guesses, they said Lindsay Lohan, Lisa Stansfield, Debbie Gibson, Vanessa Paradis, and Tracey Chapman.
Even though he mentioned her name earlier in the episode, Jonathan Ross was kicking himself for sticking with Debbie Gibson.
“I was so close,” he said. “That is mega!” a stunned Davina added. “I should have got it” Jonathan added.
“Tiffany, you have the most incredible voice! It’s so cool that you’re on the show,” an excited Rita Ora stated.
“It’s been a pleasure to be here,” Tiffany told the panel, adding, “I have had a blast, it’s been so great.”
While performing her hit I Think We’re Alone Now to close the show, the American star received a standing ovation.
Next Saturday (February 17), the final three, Cricket, Piranha, and Big Foot, will perform for the last time and one of them will be crowned a winner.
Fans of The Masked Singer were right to think that Lorraine Kelly was Owl as the ITV star was unmasked during tonight’s (January 27) episode.
The show saw the Scottish presenter unveiled during series five’s fifth episode. Owl landed themselves in the bottom two alongside Eiffel Tower, whom the panel chose to save.
For the panel’s final guesses, they went with the likes of Jo Whiley, Gabby Logan, Emily Atack, Emily Blunt, and Alex Scott.

Masked Singer: Owl revealed
Despite guessing wrong, Davina McCall was enthusiastic when Owl’s head was taken off, shouting, “YES LORRAINE!”
Lorraine called out Mo Gilligan after he said he would only wear his pants if it wasn’t Alex Scott.
Taking off his shoes and jacket, the comedian pretended to strip while the audience shouted, “Take it off.”
When asked by host Joel Dommett if she had enjoyed her time on the show, Lorraine expressed that she “loved being Owl.”
She added: “I’ve loved every single second, the show is so joyful.”
Lorraine explained that she had never sung in front of an audience before taking part in the show, stating that it was “amazing to do that.”
Did you guess?? Yep – I was OWL on The Masked Singer – what fun ! Thanks to all the team for such a happy time – loved it so much ❤️ pic.twitter.com/9ci83JoPpG
“Did you guess?? Yep – I was OWL on The Masked Singer – what fun !” Lorraine wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, after her unmasking. “Thanks to all the team for such a happy time – loved it so much.”
Since the beginning of the competition, fans were confident Lorraine was singing underneath the costume.
“I CALLED IT!! I said week one it was Lorraine Kelly,” one user wrote.
“Knew it was you from the start. Brilliant,” another person shared.
“Knew from week one. Your voice was obvious when singing,” a third user remarked.
“Yes, I guessed from the first performance,” a fourth shared.
Despite competition on the same series, Lorraine will serve as a guest judge during one of the upcoming episodes.
Masked Singer guest judge Jennifer Saunders was left stunned tonight (January 20) after she failed to guess her Ab Fab co-star Julia Sawalha as Bubble Tea.
During series five’s fourth episode, the show saw the British actor unveiled as Bubble Tea. She landed herself in the bottom two alongside Owl, who the panel chose to save.
For their final guesses, the panel went with the likes of Maisie Smith, Fearne Cotton, Gaby Roslin, and Miriam Margolyes.

Masked Singer: Bubble Tea revealed
With four completely different guesses from the panel, they were shocked to find that none of them were correct. Even more so, Jennifer was gobsmacked as she wasn’t able to identify Julia after portraying her mother for years in the iconic show Ab Fab.
“No way!” she shouted, to which Julia shouted back, “Mummy!”
“Darling! What are you doing?” Jennifer responded. “You’ve got yourself in a mess,” she added as a joke.
After finding out that Jennifer was a guest judge this weekend, Julia was confident that Jennifer would figure out her identity. Failing to guess, Jennifer was close after name-dropping Jane Horrocks earlier in the episode.
Complimenting her figure, Jennifer continued to joke around, telling Julia, “Darling, you’ve got fabulous legs, we never see these.”
“I’ve never seen them before. I didn’t even know you had legs, sweetheart.”

Julia said it was ‘beautiful’ to see Jennifer again
The 55-year-old star revealed she took part in the competition after a friend insisted she doesn’t sing enough. When she was offered to be on the show, she told herself, “I really need to do something I’m absolutely afraid of.”
Joel asked Julia: “How is it to see your mother again?”
“It is beautiful” she responded, adding, “It’s, you know, really special.”
After singing one last time, Jennifer joined Julia on stage to give her a kiss and a hug.
Fans react to Bubble Tea’s unmasking
Even though the panel didn’t guess correctly, it seems viewers also didn’t have an inkling that Julia was Bubble Tea.
“Never have guessed Julia Sawalha being bubble tea,” one user wrote.
“Julia Sawalha. Would never have got that. Fair play,” another person shared.
“No way!! Love Julia Sawalha and didn’t even come close! I love that Jennifer Saunders had no clue either,” a third remarked.
The Masked Singer UK is back – and we’re *already* pulling our hair out over who could be behind the masks!
The ITV show returned for its brand new series last week – and is back on screens for another 60 minutes of wackiness on Saturday (January 6).
As usual, for the new series, 12 celebs are taking to the stage to show off their vocal chops. And in a bid to not get recognised, the famous faces will be dressed in the craziest of get-ups. Desperate to suss them out, the celeb panelists Mo Gilligan, Davina McCall, Rita Ora and Jonathan Ross, are then tasked to find out who is behind the costume .
So far we’ve had the likes of Big Foot, Maypole, Dippy Egg, Rat and Cricket step up the mic.
And now, fans reckon the latest line-up includes the likes of an Emmerdale hunk, a chart-topping pop star and even a a celeb who has *previously* been on the show…
Maypole got the crowd on their feet when they performed last week on The Masked Singer. During their debut last week, she belted out a rendition of P!nk’s Never Gonna Dance Again.
Clues included potential links to Eurovision, a possibly fake American accent and wanting to break free. There was also a mention of her being a doll, as well as her being born in “the year of Orwell”.
And over on a Reddit forum, fans are certain the character is in fact Melody Thornton, a pop star best known for being in The Pussycat Dolls. Melody has even won the Australian version of The Masked Singer in 2022.

The eagle-eyed fan penned: “I am a massive fan of TMS and I am sure I know who Maypole is!!! MAYPOLE IS MELODY THORNTON!!
“Clues that relate: Year of Orwell – She was born in 1984. She was a member of The Pussycat Dolls. Silver medal – she was Mirrorball on Masked Singer AU- a completely silver costume TV Screens. She has done ITV shows before such as Dancing On Ice. South West – She played Cinderella in New Wimbledon Theatre- Which Is In South West London Ball – She was MirrorBALL Also the voice matches!”
Fans have been left scratching their head (Credit: ITV)
Big Foot
The lovable hairball stepped on stage last weekend to perform Moana’s track You’re Welcome. Bigfoot also dropped a series of clues about their mystery true identity.
Clues included mentions of nature, camping and the woods. Another clue also referenced Top Gear and a sitcom called Episodes.
The show followed a British husband-and-wife who travel to Hollywood to write a comedy TV show. Stars of the show included Friends’ Matt LeBlanc and Stephen Mangan.

Now, fans reckon it’ll be none other than Friends legend Matt LeBlanc. On X, formerly known as Twitter, one person said: “Big Foot – Matt Le Blanc.” Someone else added: “Is Big Foot, Matt LeBlanc?”
Meanwhile, a third quipped: “BIGFOOT Is In Top Gear Tonight @MaskedSingerUK Matt LeBlanc friends.”
Dippy Egg is a firm favourite (Credit: ITV)
Masked Singer: Dippy Egg
Dippy Egg has become a firm favourite on the show so far. For their first performance, they belted out Daydream Believer by The Monkees. Now, fans reckon the person behind the mask is Emmerdale legend Kelvin Fletcher, who played Andy Sugden.
As for why they think this, one of their clues was that the mystery person “works with animals”. This could be a nod to his life, and new TV show, about moving to a farm.
Kelvin could be behind Dippy Egg (Credit: ITV)
The former Emmerdale actor swapped Manchester for the countryside back in 2021 and moved himself and his family to a 120-acre family farm in the Peak District.
On X, one person said: “Kelvin Fletcher is dippy egg.” Someone else agreed and penned: “Dippy egg is Kelvin Fletcher!”
Rat’s performance got people on their feet (Credit: ITV)
Rat
When Rat performed they sang along to the Vengaboys classic Boom Boom Boom! And one of the biggest clues was the detection of a Liverpudlian accent.
As for the other clues, there were references to DIY and cleaning, from their tool kit to the “out of service” laundrette sign.
Fans think it could be Claire Sweeney (Credit: ITV)
When thinking about presenters who have fronted home renovation series, guest judge Charlie Simpson claimed it could be Claire Sweeney. Fans will recall Claire hosted the interior design show 60 Minute Makeover for a decade between 2004 and 2014.
Viewers also think the same as Charlie. On X, one person said: “Rat no idea, having a guess at Claire Sweeney because of the early morning reference (Big Breakfast).” Someone else said: “Claire Sweeney – 60 minute makeover.”
Fans reckon they know who Cricket is (Credit: ITV)
Cricket
Wacky character Cricket performed Place Your Hands by Reef on The Masked Singer stage. Before their performance though, Cricket spoke about being a “big hitter”.
They also noted how their scores “aren’t just about cricket”.
With these hints, fans reckon the real identity is Simon Webbe from Blue. “Cricket is Simon Webbe off Blue surely?!” while another added: “Cricket = Simon Webbe.”

A third chimed in and mused: “Scores are not just about cricket’ is that Strictly scores? Cricket sounds like Simon Webbe!” As fans will know, Simon appeared on the Strictly Christmas special back in 2011.
The Masked Singer UK airs Saturday (January 6) from 7pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
The former “Dukes Of Hazzard” star John Schneider, who has long been one of the only openly conservative Christian stars in Hollywood, called for President Joe Biden to be executed in a social media post that was put up in the early hours of Thursday morning.
John Schneider to Biden on Twitter: Mr. President, I Believe You Are Guilty of Treason And Should be Publicly Hung. Your Response? pic.twitter.com/Zc7cTa7jrE
Hours after being revealed as the Donut and getting second place on “The Masked Singer,” Schneider, 63, took to social media to blast Biden in a post that has since been deleted.
“Mr. President, I believe you are guilty of treason and should be publicly hung. Your son too. Your response is..? Sincerely, John Schneider,” the actor wrote, according to Yahoo News.
Schneider wrote this in response to a post Biden had written about the former President Donald Trump.
“Trump poses many threats to our country: The right to choose, civil rights, voting rights, and America’s standing in the world,” Biden wrote. “But the greatest threat he poses is to our democracy. If we lose that, we lose everything.”
Schneider Denies Calling For Biden’s Execution
When contacted for comment by The New York Post, Schneider denied calling for Biden’s execution.
“Seriously, folks? This is my final comment on this. I neither said nor implied any such thing,” Schneider said.
“Despite headlines claiming otherwise, in my post, I absolutely did not call for an act of violence or threaten a U.S. president as many other celebrities have done in the past,” he added. “I suggest you re-read my actual post and pay attention to the words before believing this nonsense.”
The Secret Service is now investigating Dukes of Hazard star John Schneider for calling Joe Biden a traitor.
But when Kathy Griffin held a fake decapitated head that resembled Rightful President Trump,
Daily Mail reported that liberals have responded by calling on the Secret Service and federal government to take action against Schneider.
“John Schneider deleted his tweet saying President Biden should be hanged. But the internet is forever and wouldn’t it be a shame if ‘Bo Duke’ receives a visit from some federal agents,” one social media user commented, with another adding, “s John Schneider going to get the same treatment that Kathy Griffin received from the Secret Service? She posed for a picture, and he made an actual threat against the president and his son.”
This was a reference to the comedian Kathy Griffin, who has long claimed that she was investigated by the Secret Service after posing with the simulated severed head of Donald Trump for a photoshoot back in 2017. She alleges that she was placed under federal investigation, put on a no-fly list, and “interrogated under oath” after this, although there has never been any tangible proof released to the public to back up these claims.
Schneider has long been one of the only openly conservative stars in Hollywood. Back in 2018, he said that it was time for “for Hollywood stars to come out of the Republican closet.”
“I do think there’s a bias against conservatives, Republicans, in Hollywood, but I think if you let that alter how you are, then I question how you are,” he said at the time.
Schneider doubled down on this in 2021, expressing his belief that he’s been blacklisted by Hollywood for his conservative views.
“You don’t really lose a role. You’re just not looked at,” he explained to Fox Business. “You’re not considered for something”
Schneider Finishes Runner-Up On ‘The Masked Singer’
Hours before his post about Biden, Schneider was overjoyed to finish as runner-up to the R&B singer NE-YO on “The Masked Singer,” explaining that competing on the show has helped him deal with his grief over losing his wife Alicia Allain to breast cancer earlier this year.
“It really helped me get through the worst year of my life,” Schneider told People Magazine afterwards. “So I’m delighted to have done it. I’m honored to have done it. I’m so impressed with the way they do this show. I’ve sung on stage a lot. I’ve done Broadway and concerts.”
“I mean, for crying out loud, I’ve done it for 40 years but I’ve never, never experienced a group of people who do what they do with such excellence,” he continued. “From beginning to end, it was the greatest experience I’ve had doing music on television.”
While calling for the execution of a sitting president isn’t something that we would support, celebrities have gotten away with saying far worse things about Trump over the years. After the difficult year that Schneider has had, we can only hope that people cut him some slack on this one and allow him to continue his grieving process in peace.

The former “Dukes Of Hazzard” star John Schneider finished in second place to the R&B singer NE-YO on the season finale of “The Masked Singer” on Wednesday night. Afterwards, Schneider praised the show for helping him through the “worst year” of his life after he lost his wife Alicia Allain to breast cancer back in February when she was only 53 years-old.
Schneider Loved His Time On ‘The Masked Singer’
“What an amazing opportunity to be able to honor Alicia, to be able to honor people who are grieving, maybe educate people who are grieving a little bit, in front of millions of people,” Schneider, 63, told People Magazine. “I’m a pretty strong guy but I’m also a very emotional guy.”
“Being out there on that stage dressed like a donut, singing some of the greatest songs ever written and having people respond to the songs and the performance with no notion that it was me, really, really helped John Schneider.” he continued. “It really helped me get through the worst year of my life. So I’m delighted to have done it.”
Allain Wanted Schneider To Compete On ‘The Masked Singer’
Schneider went on to explain that Allain had always wanted him to compete on “The Masked Singer.”
“She would always say, ‘You’ve got to do The Masked Singer,’” he recalled. “I fully expected one day for Alicia to be there to help … so when that opportunity came, I just had to kind of look toward heaven and kind of laugh because, of course, she still runs things but further away.”
Schneider is happy that him being open about his grief while competing on “The Masked Singer” helped others who are currently in a similar situation.
“It was a great opportunity to be able to to entertain, yes, and to have fun, yes, but also to grieve and let people know that it’s okay,” he explained. “Grieving is something you’ve got to do. And I liked that the the Donut grieving actually is helping people who are on the same road. It’s not a job I ever wanted. It’s nothing I ever really wanted to understand. But it is the hand that I’ve been dealt. And I’m doing to make the very best of it, in honor of my beautiful wife.”
‘Masked Singer’ Was ‘Greatest Experience’ For Schneider
In the end, Schneider has no regrets about his time on “The Masked Singer,” and he appears to see the show as a highlight of his decades-long career.
“It really helped me get through the worst year of my life,” Schneider said. “So I’m delighted to have done it. I’m honored to have done it. I’m so impressed with the way they do this show. I’ve sung on stage a lot. I’ve done Broadway and concerts.”
“I mean, for crying out loud, I’ve done it for 40 years but I’ve never, never experienced a group of people who do what they do with such excellence,” he concluded. “From beginning to end, it was the greatest experience I’ve had doing music on television.”
Schneider has been open about just how difficult it has been for him to lose the love of his life earlier this year. We’re so glad that he was able to have such a good time on “The Masked Singer,” and please join us in saying a prayer for him as he prepares to celebrate his first Christmas without his beloved wife!

SPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead if you have not watched the two-hour Season 10 Finale of “The Masked Singer,” which aired Dec. 20 on Fox.
Because of you, Ne-Yo just had the time of his life on Fox’s “The Masked Singer.” The artist won the Season 10 finale of the hit series on Wednesday night, becoming the last celebrity to be unmasked this season. Ne-Yo won by performing “Rhythm Nation,” by Janet Jackson; “Take a Bow,” by Rihanna, before being revealed as Cow.
“Dukes of Hazzard” star John Schneider was the season’s runner-up, having performed as Donut. In third place was “Pretty Little Liars” star (and one-time Moanalua High student) Janel Parrish, revealed to be Gazelle. And in fourth, also unmasked on Wednesday night, was Grammy winner Macy Gray, as Sea Queen.
“I’ve been very blessed to have a lot of success in my career. And trust me, I’m grateful. But even though I’ve won Grammys, I’ve never had the moment televised,” Ne-Yo/Cow said in his pre-taped “The Masked Singer” package. “Never gotten to give my acceptance speech. And most importantly, have never gotten the chance to give credit to the person who made it all possible: My mother. I’ve helped so many other artists achieve their dreams and make their big moments possible. But sometimes I feel like I haven’t truly had my moment. To be recognized not only as an artist, but as a creator. But here, I’ve certainly felt that shine… I’m hoping that when I win the Golden Masked Trophy, I can finally read that acceptance speech after all of these years.”
Schneider elicited plenty of emotion from the show’s panelists — particularly Ken Jeong — for talking openly about the death of his wife earlier this year, and how “The Masked Singer” has been a part of his healing process.
“This has been a really good experience, being here, because most people don’t know that I love to sing,” Schneider-as-Donut said. “My wife would say, ‘I don’t understand. You have done 18, 19 albums. Have five No. 1 songs. Ten or 15 top ten songs. There was a lot of stuff, but nobody knows that you sing. So, a couple of years ago she said, ‘Hey baby, we’re going to get you on The Masked Singer. So, people can finally see what you can do.’ This is really a dream come true for me, because I can honor her through doing it. Every performance has been a love letter to her. And I know she’s been on that stage with me, every step of the way.”
Among the panelists, Ne-Yo as Cow was figured out by Robin Thicke and Nicole Scherzinger. Ken Jeong said it was Usher, while Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg went with Billy Porter.
For Donut, McCarthy Wahlberg figured out it was John Schneider. Scherzinger thought it was Engelbert Humperdinck, while Thicke named Tom Jones, with Jeong agreeing.
With Gazelle, no one guessed Parrish. Thicke and McCarthy Wahlberg named Ashley Tisdale. Jeong thought it was Constance Wu. Scherzinger picked Gina Rodriguez.
As for Sea Queen, it was a bit too obvious perhaps – which is why all four panelists collectively agreed. Scherzinger got this one right first in naming Macy Gray, and Thicke, McCarthy Wahlberg and Jeong all went with the ditto.
The singer voted off first with the evening’s least number of votes was Macy Gray as Sea Queen. Janel Parrish was the next to go as Gazelle, leaving John Schneider as Donut and Ne-Yo as Cow to each sing one more song to determine the winner.
Ne-Yo as Cow, John Schneider as Donut, Macy Gray as Sea Queen and Janel Parrish as Gazelle join John Oates as Anteater, Keysia Cole as Candelabra, Sebastian Bach as Tiki, Ginuwine as Husky, Ashley Parker Angel as S’more, Metta World Peace as Cuddle Monster, Luann de Lesseps as Hibiscus, Tyler Posey as Hawk, Billie Jean King as Royal Hen, Michael Rapaport as Pickle, Tom Sandoval as Diver, Anthony Anderson as Rubber Ducky and one-time special guest Demi Lovato as Anonymouse, as the Season 10 unmasked celebrities so far.
“The Masked Singer” finale opened with the four final contestants singing “What I Like About You,” by the Romantics.
“The Masked Singer” featured a new format this season, with three groups followed by Battle Royale semi-final episodes. The season also includes the return of Wild Card contestants, with one Wild Card introduced to each group, and the “Ding Dong Keep It On Bell” was back in the Battle Royale semi-final episodes, where the judges chose Gazelle from elimination.
With sixteen total celebrity singers, Season 10 featured new costumes including “Donut,” “Anteater,” “Hawk,” “Hibiscus,” “Diver,” “Gazelle,” “Royal Hen,” “Husky,” “Tiki,” “Pickle,” “Rubber Ducky,” “Candelabra,” “Cow,” “Sea Queen,” “Anonymouse” and a life-size “S’More.” Also returning to mark the show’s 10th were celebrities who have been previously unmasked since the show began. According to the show, Season 10 contestants “boast a combined 40 medals, 33 Grammy nominations, seven hall of fame awards, three lifetime achievement awards and over 50 tattoos.”
The season’s themed episodes included a tribute to Elton John; a “Trolls Night” tied to the November release of DreamWorks Animation’s “Trolls Band Together”; a “Harry Potter Night” airing the week of Halloween; “NFL Night”; “One Hit Wonders”; “Disco”; “2000s Night”; “I Wanna Rock”; and “Soundtrack of My Life.” Back for Season 10 are host Nick Cannon, alongside panelists Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke.
Here were the final performances on this week’s episode:
Cow, “The Masked Singer”) (Michael Becker / Fox)
Pete Dadds
WINNER: Cow (Ne-Yo)
Song: “Rhythm Nation,” by Janet Jackson; “Take a Bow,” by Rihanna
Clue: “I was a fan of this show before I got here. I always wanted to do the show. And so, this is already a dream come true. I’m having a ball.”
Package voiceover: “I originally chose to become the Cow because I thought it would be a super fun way to get my friends on the panel off my scent. But, even though I’m used to wearing different hats, being here has challenged me in a whole new way. I’ve had to re-learn how to express myself entirely. From the way I move to the way I dance. When you get to my level of success and fame, there are certain expectations and pressures to perform the same old way. So, it’s been a blast, getting to take on this whole new persona. The Cow, in a way, has also become a tribute to my mother, who showed me it’s OK to be strong and sensitive. So tonight, I’m channeling that same fierceness into this finale. So I can win this thing. For her and all the strong women who made me who I am today.”
Previous songs: “Bones,” by Imagine Dragons; “Treasure,” by Bruno Mars; “Cry Me A River,” by Justin Timberlake; “Ring My Bell,” by Anita Ward
Song: “You Are So Beautiful,” by Joe Cocker; “Drift Away,” by Dobie Gray
Panel guesses: Engelbert Humperdink, Tom Jones, John Schneider
Clue: “It was actually my beautiful wife who first said she wanted me to be on this show. So being able to check this off of her bucket list has given me great joy.”
Package voiceover: “I came into this competition at the lowest point in my life. But I tell you, as soon as I saw that Donut mask, his smile made me happy in a way I had not felt in a long time. I knew right then and there that become the donut is what I needed to heal from my wife’s passing. I know that she’s getting a big kick out of me in this donut costume. Because every Saturday morning, I would make the coffee and my wife would go out and get donuts – an apple fritter especially for me. In fact, her nickname for me was ‘Fritter.’ I still miss her than I can possibly say. But putting this costume on every night has helped me remember all the beautiful memories we had together. And tonight, under this mask, I’m finally smiling again, just like she always was.”
Previous songs: “Hooked on a Feeling,” by Blue Suede; “I Do (Cherish You),” by 98 Degrees; “Georgia on My Mind” by Ray Charles

Clue: “Being the Gazelle has helped me find my voice and my confidence in singing again. Now, I don’t want to ever stop.”
Package voiceover: “I would be surprised if anyone in ‘Masked Singer’ history was more suited to their costume than I am to the Gazelle. I’ve mentioned in the past that deer are meaningful to me because of the loved one that I lost. What I haven’t say is that I actually have a deer tattoo for that person, with flowers growing out of the antlers. So, when I saw the sketch that looked so much like my tattoo, I broke down shaking and sobbing. It just felt like fate. Now, having gotten to be in the Gazelle mask for a while, I can definitely say that she feels like this alter ego of me that I have been craving. When I put her on, all of my insecurities and fears are gone. I was given a second chance to keep this mask on, and I’m not going to waste it. Becoming the Gazelle has really allowed me to tap into my inner goddess. The power that she has given me is a feeling I’ll never forget.”

Clue: “It’s been amazing. I’ve been learning so much. It’s so challenging, I feel like I’m a better entertainer now because of this show.”
Package voiceover: “Becoming the Sea Queen has been a real experience. I love my regal, commanding presence, but I’m gonna be honest with you. Wearing this costume hasn’t been all smooth sailing. I’m a seasoned performer but used to being myself on stage. Having to learn new songs and choreography all while wearing a giant mask has really stretched me as an entertainer. It is hot in there. It is so claustrophobic. And this while experience has made me feel nervous again in a way I haven’t in a long time. But I fought my way through it, and I’m still here. As the first Wild Card to make it to the finale in Masked Singer history, yes, I am looking forward to taking this mask off. But only after I win the crown for this Sea Queen.

“The Masked Singer” is produced by Fox Alternative Entertainment, with James Breen (who is also showrunner), Craig Plestis and Cannon as executive producers.
SPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 10, Episode 12 of “The Masked Singer,” “Soundtrack to My Life,” which aired Dec. 13 on Fox.
Oh, oh, here he comes. Watch out boy, he’ll chew you up! Oh, oh, here he comes. John Oates is an Anteater.
Say it isn’t so. John Oates, one half of the most successful rock duo of all time — Daryl Hall & John Oates — was revealed on Wednesday as the Anteater on “The Masked Singer.” Later, Keyshia Cole was also unmasked as the Candelabra.
The Oates appearance comes at quite a coincidental moment: He and Hall have been in the news recently after a falling out (and Hall’s lawsuit) over Oates’ plan to sell his share of their joint venture.
“I can’t really talk about it,” Oates told Variety last week. “I don’t really want to talk about it. It’s not why I’m here. I want to focus on the music and [‘The Masked Singer’]. Things will work itself out and time will tell.”
OK, we get it, he can’t go for that. So, let’s talk about “The Masked Singer” — dressing Oates up as an “Anteater” was obviously a nod to the famed Hall & Oates song “Maneater.” And yet, that obvious clue completely eluded the show’s panelists.
“They knocked me down and tied my hands behind my back and told me I was going to be the Anteater,” Oates quipped. “To be honest with you, when I saw the rendering of the costume, I didn’t really care for it much. But I kind of just went with the flow. Then I realized Anteater/Maneater. It was interesting that no one else picked up on that on the show. At least they didn’t talk about it.”
For Anteater, no one got it right. Nicole Scherzinger thought it was John Mellencamp, while Robin Thicke named Jackson Browne. Ken Jeong picked Billy Joel. Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg guessed Steven Van Zandt.
“I was flattered by the comparisons they were making,” Oates said. “I really liked the fact that they were comparing me to some of my favorite singers. People like Mellencamp and Billy Joel, Bryan Adams, Bob Seger. They seemed to really like my vocal performance.”
Oates said he agreed to do “The Masked Singer” after he realized there was an opportunity to perform without any preconceived Hall & Oates notions from the audience. “Separating me from the image of who I am in Hall & Oates, the 80s, the pop hits, all that kind of stuff. What’s going to happen when I’m just singing?” he said. “What’s the reaction going to be? That intrigued me and I wanted to do it mainly for that reason. And also, I realized that it was a huge platform. It’s such a successful show. I’m doing a lot of charity work and things like that for some great organizations. And I thought, if I can get the word out, I can reach a lot of people.”
Still Oates said he wasn’t anticipating how difficult it would be to perform in that costume. “Singing and doing choreography in that crazy suit was really difficult,” he said. “You have the Men in Black lead you through a dark backstage corridor where you can’t see a thing. And they put you onto the stage and there’s strobe lights and confetti falling and flashing video screens. It’s crazy and the people screaming, the audience’s insane. I’m wearing these giant size 15 work boots that they had to literally strap my feet into. It was it was a challenge for sure.”
As for being voted off the show, Oates admitted he was disappointed — and blamed jet lag for his final performance. “It was a good experience until the very end,” he said. “When I had the very last episode, I was booked to do a one-off show at the Newport Folk Festival. I did a set and then rushed to the airport got on the redeye. I went to LA, had to get up early in the morning to go straight to the television studio to do Masked Singer. And so, I was really tired.”
As for Candelabra, Nicole Scherzinger got this one right in naming Keyshia Cole, and Robin Thicke named Cole as well. Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg said it was Brandy and Ken Jeong went with Kelly Rowland.
“They let me choose, as much as they could, the songs that I was going to sing,” Bach said. “Which made me happy because I got to do Elton John, “Magic” by Pilot and Lady Gaga. There was a couple other songs that I wanted to sing, but we couldn’t clear them in time. ‘The Final Countdown’ by Europe. I was going to slay you all with that one. I was asking to do some Journey and Led Zeppelin but those were pretty hard to clear.”
The singer with the evening’s least number of votes was Oates as Anteater. The remaining two contestants facing off in a battle royale (no longer a “smackdown”!) to determine who would move on to the finals, were Donut and Candelabra. The two contestants sang their own take on Hunter Hayes’ “Wanted.” (Hayes, who previously appeared on “The Masked Singer” as Astronaut, was also on hand to sing his song.)
Cole as Candelabra was voted out after that, which means Group C champ Donut will face off with Group B winner Sea Queen, Group A champion Cow and Group A “Ding Dong Keep It On” recipient Gazelle in next week’s finals.
John Oates as Anteater and Keysia Cole as Candelabra join Sebastian Bach as Tiki, Ginuwine as Husky, Ashley Parker Angel as S’more, Metta World Peace as Cuddle Monster, Luann de Lesseps as Hibiscus, Tyler Posey as Hawk, Billie Jean King as Royal Hen, Michael Rapaport as Pickle, Tom Sandoval as Diver, Anthony Anderson as Rubber Ducky and one-time special guest Demi Lovato as Anonymouse, as the Season 10 unmasked celebrities so far.
“The Masked Singer” features a new format this season, with three groups followed by Battle Royale semi-final episodes. The season also includes the return of Wild Card contestants, with one Wild Card introduced to each group, and the “Ding Dong Keep It On Bell” is back in the Battle Royale semi-final episodes, where the judges can choose to save one contestant from elimination and move them directly to the finale.
With sixteen total celebrity singers, Season 10 features new costumes including “Donut,” “Anteater,” “Hawk,” “Hibiscus,” “Diver,” “Gazelle,” “Royal Hen,” “Husky,” “Tiki,” “Pickle,” “Rubber Ducky,” “Candelabra,” “Cow,” “Sea Queen,” “Anonymouse” and a life-size “S’More.” Also returning to mark the show’s 10th are celebrities who have been previously unmasked since the show began. According to the show, Season 10 contestants “boast a combined 40 medals, 33 Grammy nominations, seven hall of fame awards, three lifetime achievement awards and over 50 tattoos.”
The season’s themed episodes included a tribute to Elton John; a “Trolls Night” tied to the November release of DreamWorks Animation’s “Trolls Band Together”; a “Harry Potter Night” airing the week of Halloween; “NFL Night”; “One Hit Wonders”; “Disco”; “2000s Night”; “I Wanna Rock”; and “Soundtrack of My Life.” Back for Season 10 are host Nick Cannon, alongside panelists Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke.
Here were the other performances on this week’s episode:
Candelabra, “The Masked Singer” (Michael Becker / Fox)
Pete Dadds
Candelabra
Song: ‘I’m Going Down,’ by Mary J. Blige
Panel guesses: Tamar Braxton,Keyshia Cole, Rozonda “Chili” Thomas, Dawn Richard
Mix tape clue: “Party Jams.” “Nicole, I never forget the fun we had partying at an industry party.”
Package voiceover: “Continuing to set the stage ablaze in this competition feels amazing. And I’m pumped to have made it to the Group C finale. Tonight, I’m going to be singing ‘I’m Going Down,’ by Mary J. Blige. It’s a song about heartbreak, which I’ve definitely experienced. I was in a relationship for a long time with someone that I deeply loved. We had a child and built a life together. But he proved to me over and over again that I couldn’t trust him. I tried to stay for our child but ultimately staying wasn’t good for any of us. And I chose to walk away. I learned that in that moment that I had to love myself first. And since then, that’s what I‘ve been doing. So tonight, I’m sharing my whole heart on that stage. And hopefully that’s enough to get me to the finals.”
Previous songs: “1 Thing,” by Amerie; “All My Life,” by K-CI & Jojo
Previous clue: “Real tea.” “I want you to know that on and off the camera, I’m keeping 100% real.”
Previous panel guesses: Regina Hall, Brandy, Anika Noni Rose, Tamar Braxton, Monica, Fantasia, Keyshia Cole, Ashanti, Kelly Rowland
Anteater, “The Masked Singer” (Michael Becker / Fox)
Pete Dadds
Anteater
Song: “Johnny B. Goode,” by Chuck Berry
Panel guesses: Paul Stanley, Jackson Browne, Steven Van Zandt
Mixtape clue: “Deep Thoughts.” “I had the greatest conversation when I was talking to Jenny.”
Package voiceover: “Don’t underestimate a short king. Cuddle Monster might have a few inches on me but like David and Goliath, this Anteater came out on top. Tonight, I’m singing ‘Johnny B. Goode’ because I grew up listening to Chuck Berry on the radio and I collected all of his 45 RPM records. When my mom signed me up for guitar lessons at 5 years old, this is one of the first songs I learned to play on my right-handed guitar. And it’s not easy when you’re a lefty. Even after decades of creating my own unique sound and becoming an inspiration to others, I’m still influenced by those early musical pioneers. Now I can’t wait to get on stage and show that real rock n roll never dies. Hopefully it will get me to the finale.”
Previous songs: “Walking in Memphis,: by Mark Cohn; “I Want It That Way,” by Backstreet Boys
Previous clue: “Hall of fame.” “I think the Trolls might know something about the hall of fame.”
Previous panel guesses: Rick Springfield, John Mellencamp, Bryan Adams, Bob Seger, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Paul Simon
Donut, “The Masked Singer” (Michael Becker / Fox)
Pete Dadds
Donut
Song: “Georgia on My Mind” by Ray Charles
Panel guesses: Tom Jones, John Schneider, Engelbert Humperdink
Mixtape clue: “Poker Night.” “Robin, this mix tape was on repeat every time I hung out with your dear, sweet dad.”
Package voiceover: “Singing my heart out on stage last time felt so fulfilling. I know my wife is watching every step of my journey and she would be so thrilled that I made it to the Group C finals. I’m singing ‘Georgia on My Mind’ by Ray Charles. This is a song I really relate to, because it’s about being far away from the one you love. When I was a young man, I had the opportunity to sing this song as a duet with Ray on a television special. Performing with Ray was magical Remember, he was not a big guy. But when he opened his mouth to sing, he could knock you over with his power. Watching videos of our performance now, I realize I was way out of my league. So tonight, I’m hoping to make Ray proud.”
Previous songs: “Hooked on a Feeling,” by Blue Suede; “I Do (Cherish You),” by 98 Degrees
Previous clue: Hair and seasoning. “I’m well-seasoned, and I have been enjoyed by several generations.”
Previous panel guesses: Sylvester Stallone, Jeff Bridges, Tom Jones, Stanley Tucci, Liam Neeson, Engelbert Humperdinck

If you’ve been dying to know the identities of Anteater, Candelabra, Cow, Donut, Gazelle, and Sea Queen, then you’re likely also wondering how to watch The Masked Singer. Ahead of the season 10 finale, three characters will face off to determine which one will secure the last spot in the finale.
The Masked Singer is an American reality singing competition television series that’s part of The Masked Singerfranchise, which originated in South Korea. The American version premiered on January 2, 2019, and viewers can expect celebrities performing on stage while wearing elaborate costumes and face masks to hide their identities.
Judges and live studio audience members try to guess the singers’ real identities, and they both ultimately get a say in which characters move forward in the competition show. The A-list lineup of judges includes Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke, while the show is hosted by Nick Cannon.
Each week, the panelists guess the celebrities’ actual identities by looking at clues that are given to them. They also have front-row seats to each performance and vote alongside the audience for which character they like the most and want to take center stage that week. One by one, celebrities are eliminated and reveal their identities to the judges and viewers until there’s only one masked singer left standing. That contestant is declared the winner. Previous winners have included the likes of T-Pain (a.k.a. Monster), Wayne Brady (a.k.a. Fox), Kandi Burruss (a.k.a. Night Angel), and LeAnn Rimes (a.k.a. Sun).
The show is currently finishing its 10th season, which premiered on September 27, 2023. Six singers remain in season 10, with three secured for the finale (Gazelle, Cow, and Sea Queen) and three others (the Group C finalists, which are Donut, Candelabra, and Anteater) competing to stay for another week.

If you’re already a fan of the American version, then you’re in for a treat as we dive into how to watch The Masked Singer Australia in the US online. Just like its American counterpart, The Masked Singer Australia is full of powerhouse performances, elaborate disguises, and celebrity surprises—and luckily, there’s a way for Americans to enjoy it on our side of the world.
The Masked Singer Australia, which premiered in 2019, is part of the expansive Masked Singer franchise. This global series traces its roots back to the South Korean reality TV singing competition, King of the Masked Singer, which first hit screens back in 2015. Since then, The Masked Singer has captured the hearts of viewers with its unique blend of featuring musical talent and mystery.
The concept of the reality competition show is simple: Contestants don elaborate, head-to-toe costumes and perform on stage while keeping their true identities hidden behind masks. What follows is a wild guessing game for both the celebrity panel and the audience, as they try to decipher who is behind each elaborate costume.
“We are so thrilled to have The Masker Singer on 10. It is genuinely original, addictive and a little bit bonkers,” Beverly McGarvey, Network 10’s Chief Content Officer, shared in a statement announcing the Australian edition of the show in 2019. “It is not that often that you get to launch something that feels so unique and exciting. We cannot wait to get going and have the whole country playing along.”
Just like its international counterparts, The Masked Singer Australia invites all kinds of celebrities—from professional singers and actors, to athletes and politicians—to step into the limelight. Week after week, the audience and judges cast their votes and make their guesses. The contestant with the fewest votes bids farewell at the end of each episode, until only the winner remains and walks away with the coveted Golden Mask Trophy.
There’s only one thing getting in the way: this Ozzie edition might not be readily available on your local channels! But even if you find yourself in a different country than where The Masked Singer Australia takes place, don’t worry, because we’ve got the inside scoop on how you can catch all the masked action from the Land Down Under without emptying your wallet.

After a thrilling season of “The Masked Singer Australia“, filled with jaw-dropping performances, wacky costumes, and unforgettable moments, the time has finally come to unveil the champion.
As the grand finale loomed, the last three Masks standing were Snow Fox, Bouncer, and Grim Reaper. Throughout the season, these mysterious figures had left everyone — from the guessing panel to viewers at home — utterly perplexed about their true identities. It was a guessing game that kept us all on the edge of our seats.
The grand finale was an epic showdown where these three finalists sang their hearts out, hitting every note with precision and leaving no room for error. The atmosphere was electric, and the audience could hardly contain their excitement.
Who Won “The Masked Singer” 2023?
After Bouncer and Grim Reaper were revealed to be Conrad Sewell and Darren Hayes, that left Snow Fox as the winner.
But, as they say, there can only be one winner, and tonight, the spotlight shone on Dami Im. Yes, you read that right. The champion of “The Masked Singer Australia” 2023 was none other than the mastermind behind the dazzling costume, Snow Fox.
Commenting on her win, Dami said: “It feels amazing to be out [from under the mask]. I actually won ‘The X Factor’ here, on this same stage, exactly 10 years ago. And now I’m back winning this!”
This season had some incredible reveals, with stars like Brian Austin Green as the Crash Test Dummy, Sandra Sully as Fawn, Shane Warne’s daughter Summer Warne as the Bad Avocado, and the fantastic Courtney Act as the Cowgirl, just to name a few.
Last year, Pussycat Dolls’ Melody Thornton was crowned the winner, and the year before that, it was international pop star Anastacia.
“The Masked Singer” season 8 crowned an all-new champion on Wednesday! After some truly breathtaking performances from the final two contestants — The Harp and The Lambs — only one of them was able to walk away with the Golden Mask Trophy!
First, we’re going to look at how the night unfolded. Scroll down to find out who won and who came up just short.
In the long tradition of “The Masked Singer”, the format of this season’s gameplay and competition was wildly different from every other season that has come before it.
So, The Harp had to battle it out and defend her crown three weeks in a row before earning her spot in the semi-finals. The Lambs, on the other hand, only had to win two weeks in a row, and Snowstorm only had to win one to make it to the semifinals.
However, The Lambs and The Harp beat out Snowstorm last week, leaving them to go head-to-head in Wednesday’s finale — each of them belting out two different performances in an effort to win the votes of the audience.
The Harp was the first to hit the stage, and the golden goddess delivered a fun, energetic rendition of “The Edge of Glory” by Lady Gaga, which left the judges in absolute awe.
“Oh my god,” Nicole Scherzinger marvelled. “That’s how it’s done!”
“Girl, you put every awards show to shame just then. That was, by far, in all eight seasons, the best performance in a finale show I’ve ever seen,” Jenny McCarthy gushed.
The Lambs were up next, and the trio of songstresses were certainly not sheepish when it came to their cover of Whitney Houston’s “I’m Every Woman” that got the audience clapping along, brought the judges onto the stage, and ended with a literal pyrotechnic bang.
“We gotta send out an SOS because we are in trouble, because that was phenomenal!” Jenny praised.
Meanwhile, Nicole said the performance was the perfect embodiment of “women supporting women.”
For the second round, The Lambs went first, and they went for a more emotional, romantic vibe with a performance of “I Want to Know What Love Is” by Foreigner. Slowing things down can be a risk, but the number brought the audience to tears and proved to be an impressive showcase for their vocal skills.
“Thank you for the love that you spread on us,” Nicole shared, in awe.
While The Lambs certainly brought the feels to the stage, The Harp still had one last chance to pull out the victory — and she went with John Mayer’s “Gravity,” an understated tune that wasn’t a show-stopper in the traditional sense, but was a masterclass in owning the stage.
It gave her a chance to hit some impressive high notes and ended with a backing choir, sparks, fog, and served as an undeniably perfect capstone to another wild season.
“I think we all got chills,” host Nick Cannon said.
“I thought the opener was fantastic, but that was hands down one of the best things we’ve ever heard on this stage, ever!” Robin Thicke said. “You just took that into the stratosphere… that was pure.”
After all the songs were sung, it was time to count the votes and crown a new champion… and the winner is…
… The Harp!
However, before we learn the identity of the new “Masked Singer” Queen, it was time to see who The Lambs were. After all the final guesses were made, Robin proved he has a great ear by correctly guessing that The Lambs were actually Chynna Phillips, Wendy Wilson and Carnie Wilson of the iconic pop group Wilson Phillips!
The songstresses confirmed his guess when they removed their giant lamb heads, and marveled over the experience of being on the show.
“It’s a journey that we will never forget,” Wilson shared. “It’s been amazing. I have no words. I’m speechless.”
After an unmasked encore performance from Wilson Phillips, it was time for The Harp to reveal her real identity — and this time, it was Nicole who got a chance to show off her guessing skills when she correctly predicted that The Harp was actually “Glee” alum and musical theater superstar Amber Riley!
All the panelists climbed on top of their table to cheer on Riley with enthusiasm, as the actress reflected on her time on the show.
“This has been such an amazing experience, just to be able to come out here and be completely covered and let my talent speak for itself,” Riley said. “I hope everybody felt my soul, because I bared it all right here on this stage.”
When asked if she had a message for her fans after her big win, Riley shared, “I just want to say, whatever it is you want in this life, you go after it. It may be hard, it may be a rocky journey, but at the end of that journey it will totally and completely be worth it, so keep going!”
In the closing moments of the finale — right before Riley delivered a fun, unmasked performance — Cannon confirmed that “The Masked Singer” will be returning next year for season 9!
Tag Team continues to solidify its place in 90s pop culture lore with inspired television performances, new advertising opportunities, and a fresh set of tour dates.

– To celebrate the 100th episode of “The Masked Singer,” Fox enlisted Tag Team, the kings of 1990s nostalgic pop music, to inject their brand of “90s night” energy with an epic cameo for the ages. The historic hip-hop duo opened Season 8, Episode 6 of the show with a rousing concert performance of their iconic, multi-platinum 1993 hit “Whoomp! (There It Is)”—sending the studio audience and show judges into a spine-tingling frenzy.
Following the initial excitement, Tag Team’s DC “The Brain” Supreme introduced the show’s host, Nick Cannon, with the rallying energy of a 1990s Mike Tyson heavyweight championship fight. As the show continued, Tag Team increased the hype to an old-school, 90s house party, serving as clue bearers and interacting with the host, judges, and celebrity guests on TV’s #1 top-secret singing competition. Spoiler Alert: Joey Lawrence and Nick Lachey stopped by to dap it up with Tag Team in the show’s VIP area.
During the show’s Grand Finale … well, to find out, catch the full season 8 episode 6 of “The Masked Singer” now streaming on Hulu.
Nearly 30 years after the release of their iconic single, Tag Team is still exhilarating concert audiences and conjuring nostalgic, time-warping memories that warm hearts. The duo recently served as the live keynote musical performance for one of the concert touring industry’s largest trade organizations, IEBA (International Entertainment Buyers Association). Tag Team electrified the distinguished, select crowd of entertainment executives, talent buyers, and conference attendees, creating a vibrant, fun-filled party atmosphere that endured throughout the evening as old friends and colleagues reunited at the Wild Horse Saloon in Nashville.
Pam Matthews, the fearless CEO of IEBA, helped make this happen, and for the next four days, Tag Team was the talk of the conference. The duo, consisting of Cecil “DC The Brain Supreme” Glenn and Steve “Rolln” Gibson, is now poised to book a plethora of 90s nostalgia concerts, primetime television performances, and celebrity appearances in 2023 and beyond.
The Masked Singer appearance was the culmination of several hectic weeks for Tag Team. The duo helped start the 2022-2023 NBA season with a halftime performance for their hometown Denver Nuggets. In front of a sold-out crowd of nearly 20,000 in the Mile High City, the 1984 graduates of Denver’s Manual High School brought the fire with unmatched energy that helped the Nuggets secure the win. That’s what Tag Team does.
Next was a quick international excursion to “The Sands Rocks 2022” 80s music festival at the Planet Hollywood Beach Resort in Cancun, Mexico. Tag Team gave fans another amazing live concert performance along with Morris Day, Klymaxx, Vanilla Ice, Flava Flav, and more, as well as a rousing introduction by the one and only MTV’s “Downtown Julie Brown.” The event brought to mind youthful, nostalgic memories of a time when we really used to party.
DC’s acting career continues to flourish, fresh off a memorable Season 2 Episode 6 co-star role in the STARZ hit show “P Valley.” His portrayal of Gibby Burns (inspired by legendary Memphis old-school fire barber Warren Lewis) was memorable. The scene with principal characters Lil’ Murda (J. Alphonse Nicholson) and Tyke (Thaddeus Wilks) is a fan favorite from the episode. Along with his ride-or-die representation, the People Store agency in Atlanta, DC and his team continue to work on new projects while navigating Tag Team’s busy tour schedule.
Be on the lookout for a DC Glenn motivational speaking gig as preparation continues for the launch of his corporate speaking career. Preparing with his colleagues and mentors from the Georgia chapter of the National Speakers Association has been a great incubator for DC to network and collaborate with his fellow associates.
The current bread and butter for Tag Team are concert performances, and Primetime 90s-themed network television performances. They are booking for the 2022 holiday season and appearances for 2023, which marks the 30-year anniversary of the release of “Whoomp! (There It Is!)” as a worldwide hit.
