The Masked Singer Reveals Sitcom Queen && As Wrong Mask Goes Home, But Ken Was Right Again?!

And then there were four, and four who could actually sing! The Masked Singer Group A charged on with Buffaloes, Ship, Showbird, and Woodpecker once again taking the stage for already the toughest night of the competition so far. There were no obvious duds left in this group -- sorry John Elway -- as Kevin Bacon and Footloose took over the show. The soundtrack from the '80s classic provided the music, Kevin Bacon himself sent in some video inspiration, and the artists provided the entertainment. They also continued to hone their guesses, though Ken refuses to let go of his awful Willow Smith guess for Woodpecker. But he was also right about Elway, so maybe we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss the goofiest panelist. 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. Along with the panel's guesses, we'll be sharing some internet speculation, too, so if you don't want to be potentially spoiled (because they are very good at this), you may want to skip past the guesses sections. ("Footloose," Ken Loggins) A little lounge singer in his delivery, but the song was definitely in Robin's wheelhouse and he was clearly having a little fun getting to show off his pipes -- which he rarely gets to do on this show, oddly enough, considering how often Nicole Scherzinger and Rita have been spotlighted for their singing. He's still got that sweet falsetto and set a light, fun tone for the night. ("Let's Hear it for the Boy," Deniece Williams) Showbird had a bit of a squeak heading into that first chorus, which confirms her story that she's returning to a first love but not a seasoned singer who's been honing her craft for years. She does have a strong, if unpolished voice, with her stage presence lacking for the same reasons. It's all pleasant enough, but even those first falsetto moments showed she's really stretching herself. If she committed to this, we could see her cleaning up these little things and really soaring. Guesses: For her second week, Showbird shared her love story, which it turns out it someone she used to have as an old friend. When they reconnected, sparks flew and they're part of what's encouraged her to stretch herself creatively and reconnect with her passion for music. Visual clues included a purple cupcake, old-fashioned radio mic, and a vanity table of costume jeweled rings. Her on-stage clue was a hip-hop playing music box, which got Showbird grooving right along with it. "That's more my vibe because back in '94 I was part of a hip-hop empire," Showbird explained. Her Week 1 Masked Ambassador is frequent guest panelist and one-time "singer" Joel McHale, who conceded Showbird is out of her element on this show. She agreed completely, describing herself as a tomboy nerd who loved Lego and Comic-Con growing up. She always thought her life would be more humble and low-key, but instead she bares her soul in some of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters, "unlike Joel here." We also saw an Advanced Singing 401 book, a golden gavel, glittery boots, and lots of costumes, which always makes us think stage performer. Her on-stage gift was popcorn, which could refer to the MTV Movie & TV Awards' Golden Popcorn bucket? That last clue had Ken's jaw dropping, with his immediate guess of Yvette Nicole Brown, who starred with him and Joel McHale on Community. He tied the music box to YNB having been signed to Motown Records by Michael Bivins as part of the "East Coast Family." And she recently got engaged. Jenny, liked the guess, but had one of her own. Instead, she took the purple cupcake to The Color Purple and the word "empire" to land on Taraji P. Henson, which Rita guessed last week. This week, the purple had her thinking maybe it was Prince collaborator Sheila E. The internet was definitely picking up what Ken was putting down, though, when it came to Yvette Nicole Brown, as they've been on the Community star's trail since last week's premiere. If anyone should recognize his old costar, it's Ken -- and if he were to not recognize his old costar … well, imagine the embarrassment! ("Almost Paradise," Mike Reno & Ann Wilson) Ship definitely has a seasoned, professional voice. She was effortless with so much power and passion throughout this piece. There was a richness in the tenor of her voice which really stands out, as does its mid-range tempo. It's clear she's been doing this for a long while, though her prime era on the charts may be behind her. Guesses: For Footloose week, Ship opened up about her own high school experience, sharing that she was quite the mover and shaker in her teen years. She was a cheerleader, class presid
