Octopus works the stage like a pro and sings with soul and passion. He’s got a gravelly voice, but he can definitely carry a tune. Octopus is singing “Tutti Frutti” by Little Richard and this is not at all what I was expecting him to sound like. We see “ABC” blocks as he says, “I told you, I’m a lucky guy.”Ĩ:15 p.m. A cinder block tied to the octopus sinks him down into the ocean with the sharks while he says, “When you’re this big, you fall pretty hard.” In order to get a fresh start, Octopus had to learn to let go of his ego. There are some cards laid out on a table with an eight of clubs on top. He says everyone took his smiling as him not being serious. All he could do was smile (we see a couple gold teeth before he answers a golden telephone). Octopus reached success at a very young age and felt like he had it all. He wanted to become the octopus because eight is a lucky number and he thinks he’s a lucky guy. The next Group A contender is Octopus, a purple and funky invertebrate who struts out while Jenny shouts, “That’s the tallest contestant we’ve ever had!” This guy towers over Nick before we get into some clues. Nick exclaims, “You just named every Black woman who can sing!” All we know for sure at this point is that Skunk is a diva who can saaaang!Ĩ:12 p.m. Blige into the mix before Robin adds Toni Braxton and Ken says Sade. I can tell you, Skunk sounds nothing like any of Ken’s guesses, lol. Ken goes off the rails, screaming out random divas including Janet Jackson, Erykah Badu, Alicia Keys and Anita Baker. Robin can tell that she has been singing her whole life and mentions Gloria Gaynor and Faith Evans (she was my first thought!). Skunk says she felt like it was time for her to take a big leap and do something that she hadn’t done in a long time. Nicole says, “Season 6 is in the big leagues, y’all!” before calling her “royalty.” The panel then submits their secret first impression guesses before debating over who this diva is. A true R&B fan might notice she sounds similar to Faith Evans or Mary J.
She has a gorgeous, rich and soulful voice and my guess that this stinker is not actually from Korea, but known as a soul singer. Skunk takes the stage performing “Diamonds” by Sam Smith. Skunk took a break for a minute to focus on family, but she’s ready to get back out there and “make it do what it do, boo.” But not before spraying the men in black with some hater spray!Ĩ:10 p.m. She snaps her tail at the men in black while walking past a vase with the letter “D” on it. She says you don’t always have to react when provoked. There might be misconceptions that the striped mammal is quick to get into a fight, but honey that couldn’t be further from the truth. Skunk walks through a train with some men in black reading a newspaper featuring Jenny on the cover, asking, “Has the Golden Ear winner lost her mind?” Over the years, Skunk has seen it all (her ticket reads “Skunk Express” and says she is departing from Seoul, Korea). While life’s not always black and white, there are always certainly two sides to every story. She chose to be the skunk because she relates to the duality, the yin and yang of it all. Pinch your noses for the stinky but glamorous Skunk! She sashays out like a true diva, covered in diamonds, before we get our first set of clues. Nick emerges from a mysterious fog tunnel to introduce the panel of detectives and the first masked creature tonight. The first five singers of Group A will hit the stage tonight, singing their hearts out in a groundbreaking double elimination. But enough about last year - let’s get started with the first performance of Season 6!Ĩ:05 p.m. Jenny was then named the winner (for the second year in a row) of the Golden Ear trophy. As for the other finalists, Black Swan ( JoJo) was the runner-up and Chameleon ( Wiz Khalifa) came in third place. “Previously on ‘The Masked Singer’!” In the Season 5 finale, Piglet won the Golden Mask trophy and removed his mask to reveal boy band singer Nick Lachey.
