The Masked Singer Unmasks Miss Monster

Bow down to the Queen of Funk.

Chaka Khan was just revealed to have been masquerading as Miss Monster on The Masked Singer, joining Drew Carey and Lil Wayne in this season’s hall of unmasked faces.

Nicole Scherzinger had figured it out earlier in the episode, and she was thrilled to see she was right.

The three remaining singers in group A—Kangaroo, Turtle, and White Tiger—will move on to the Super Nine after we see two more groups of six battle it out. That means we’re now saying goodbye to them for six weeks, which is irritating only because we’ve got no clue who the Kangaroo is and we desperately want to know.

As for Turtle and White Tiger, we’ve got some pretty good guesses, which you can see below.

Tonight’s clue packages switched it up and for the first time in the series, we heard from friends or family of the masked singers instead of the singers themselves. Or rather we heard from friends and family of some of the Masked Singers. The Turtle’s clue package was a message from his ninth grade teacher, who he apparently recognized once last year, which felt…bleak. Did the Turtle we believe to be Jesse McCartney really not have any other friends or family available for this gig? We’d love to know.

See below for all the reveals and biggest clues so far!

Next week, we’ll meet Banana, Elephant, Kitty, Taco, Mouse, and Frog.

The Robot: Lil Wayne

The first reveal of the season was the biggest star yet: Lil Wayne!

The Robot had lots of science references, including a periodic table, since he’s had so many records go platinum, but the clues were sort of irrelevant. It’s hard to mistake that voice.

The Llama

The Llama appears to be a comedian on the radio (23.3 The Wool), and he really likes Seattle. He’s a fan of the movie Ghost?

The panel decided it couldn’t be Howard Stern and guessed David Spade and Joel McHale. The internet immediately went Kelsey Grammar, because of the Seattle of it all, Danny Bonaduce, and Drew Carey. Though David Spade did play a man who turned into a llama in The Emperor’s New Groove…

Miss Monster: Chaka Khan

Miss Monster’s got a big ol’ crush on the Monster/T-Pain, and she seems to have struggled with having to look and act a certain way in public. In week two, her clues heavily referenced royalty. In week three, she revealed she had performed with Robin Thicke.

She sounds exactly like Chaka Khan, though some on the internet also hear some Tina Turner. She is not Dolly Parton, as Ken Jeong guessed. Sorry Ken.

The White Tiger

It’s official: The White Tiger cannot sing, and he can only sort of rap. He’s clearly huge and likely an athlete, and is a “clam shucking” champion, which makes you think of New England. He loves a celebration dance.

Jamie Foxx guessed Rob Gronkowski and the panelists continued that guess in week two. Gronk is from upstate NY, he’s a football champ, and “Ice Ice Baby” seems exactly like a song he’d sing.

The Turtle

He’s definitely got some singing chops, and he took things “step by step” while others crashed and burned. He also grills burgers, and he likes to surf OR he won a Teen Choice Award. He says he and Nicole Scherzinger spent a morning together.

It sounds like Jesse McCartney, Jesse McCartney has multiple Teen Choice Awards, was in the boyband Dream Street, and spent a morning with Nicole (and the Pussycat Dolls) on The Today Show in 2008. It’s gotta be Jesse McCartney.

The Kangaroo

The Kangaroo is a tough one! She lost someone close to her, “by her own admission” found herself in the spotlight for the wrong reasons, and now she wants to bounce back. She references her bullies and being a survivor, and her little brother is so proud of her.

A lot of people immediately went for Jordyn Woods, who lost her father recently and then found herself in an unfortunate spotlight, but that voice does NOT sound like Jordyn to us. It also doesn’t sound like Tatyana Ali, one of the panel guesses. She has stumped us.
