Fox is hoping to kick off one other “Masked Singer” frenzy with a sneak peek at the upcoming second season that featured all new clues to the 16 new singers (up from the dozen that took on the problem in Season 1).
Based on how rapidly viewers homed in on the identities of most of the contestants final season, host Nick Cannon promised that the clues shall be extra cryptic and the singers shall be even more durable to determine.
We cannot think about it going a lot worse for the judges, as Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger had been completely unimaginable at guessing all the mistaken individuals.
He additionally promised greater stars that we have seen earlier than, which stays to be seen. Generally talking, Beyonce and Taylor Swift aren’t going to do a present like this, whereas the likes of Joey Fatone and Tori Speling would. But that was earlier than “The Masked Singer” turned a cultural phenomenon.
After seeing the present and the way a lot it resonated with followers, even eliciting real feelings a winner T-Pain used it as a automobile to show his doubters mistaken and blow everybody away with is unimaginable voice, maybe greater stars had been prepared to signal on.
We, nonetheless, shall stay doubtful and skeptical till we begin seeing these celebs unmasked. That mentioned, we did get some spectacular numbers to ponder.
The 16 contestants mixed have 140 movies, 22 Broadway musicals, 22 gold information, 20 platinum information, 6 multil-platinum information, 31 Billboard #1 singles, 69 Emmy nominations, 19 Emmy wins, 42 Grammy nominations, 10 Grammy wins, 10 Lifetime Achievement Awards, three Walk of Fame Stars, three New York Times bestsellers, 2 Time journal’s Most Influential individuals, 7 Super Bowl appearances, 5 corridor of famers, 15 marriages, eight divorces.
Maybe Neil Patrick Harris is definitely part of the solid this season, although we’re nonetheless uncertain Justin Timberlake or Barack Obama made the time.
One factor we’ll give credit score to, although, is the unimaginable and delightful costume design of all the new characters. That is award-successful work proper there, and the incontrovertible fact that they’re sensible in addition to intricately beautiful is only a marvel.
As promised, there have been a couple of morsels of clues for 15 of the 16 contetants. For some purpose, Nick advised us that the identiy of the final contestant (Ladybug) is being held again till the Emmys broadcast subsequent week. We get hyping this present on that stage, however not saving the teaser till then.
Are they fearful about Emmy scores and hoping to lure “Masked Singers” viewers into watching that present? Have awards exhibits sunk so low in scores and significance? Maybe we do not need the reply to that.
Check out the clues for the first 15 “masks” under, in addition to some very early, and really unhealthy guesses, we’re positive Then tune in Wednesday, September 25 at eight p.m. ET for the official kickoff to Season 2.
Skeleton
Skeleton did not actually say something apart from unhealthy skeleton puns, so the greatest clue seems to be the graves marker with the quantity 4261 on it. Could that be a birthday or another signficant quantity associated to their id?
Hilariously, the Internet instantly jumped on it as a birthday and rapidly discovered Christopher Meloni, which appears a little bit of a stretch. But Terry Bradshaw and Ricki Lake did final season, so something’s potential. Other guesses embody Bobby Bones

Fox
Fox referred to himself as a superhero, which may tie him to a superhero property. In this point in time, although, that does not slender down a lot. His steampunk vibe is also a clue. Also, he was seen close to indicators studying “Studio 46” and a number of other saying “Crafty.”
Some followers took the glowing eye to be indicative of Justice League member Cyborg, main them to Ray Fisher. As the Fox is partially cybernetic, this works,, although Jeremy Renner can be a strong guess (if he would do that). We’re additionally seeing guesses for Bradley Cooper.
Ice Cream
“I live for half of February,” Ice Cream mentioned in entrance of a calendar with Valentine’s Day circled. There are additionally pictures from a big Hollywood mansion; may that be a clue to the place Ice Cream lives?
The web shouldn’t be feeling very assured on this one, although some have famous that NPH proposed on Valentine’s Day. But that day might be important for plenty of celebs. Beyond that, guesses floated in every single place from Scott Disick to Shane Harper and Freddie Higmore (the latter two born on 2/14).
Eagle
This character is all about rock and roll, with a weird clue. “If you know an eagle’s body temperature, you may be hot on my tail.” The eagle’s physique temperature is 106 levels Fahrenheit, or 105.eight to be actual.
The bandana and general imagery, together with the motorcyle, have the web most assured that that is Bret Michaels of Poison fame. Unfortunately, we will not discover a connection to the eagle’s physique temperature with Bret, however we’re nearly optimistic it isn’t their second favourite guess, Bruce Springsteen!
Tree
Tree mentioned she was bringing us the “gift of joy” by her “delicious performances,” which instantly had us considering of the “Joy of Cooking” and getting hungry. Could this be a celeb chef? How about the Tree itself being styled after a ’50s pinup?
That final clue may need put individuals on to Dita von Teese, although Michelle Pfeifer additionally bought some love for performing as a tree in “Grease 2.” But the guess that ties into our chef concept is Rachael Ray, which could possibly be enjoyable, or “MasterChef” choose Christina Tosi..
Flamingo
More rock references, however the huge line in the package deal is, “I love this mask as much as I love mascara.” She additionally mentioned, “Get pumped, everyone,” emphasizing a concentrate on health and wonder. But it isn’t Kylie Jenner!
We bought to see a snippet of her efficiency on “Lady Marmalade” and Flamingo has pipes. Internet guesses included Annie Potts (“Pretty in Pink”), Adrienne Bailon (“The Real”) and P!nk (too apparent and never gonna occur), so actually nobody appears to have a grasp on this one but.
Butterfly
Butterfly actually actually put the emphasis on the phrase “I just pray I don’t fall over” relating to the measurement of the costume. As it was one in all the few feedback that wasn’t a horrible butterfly pun, it feels essential, that means it’s most likely a clue to the id of the particular person inside. A deeply spiritual particular person? Someone well-known for their religion?
Internet hypothesis is dominant that this one is Michelle Williams, of Destiny’s Child fame, although there are additionally guesses for Kesha, Chris Colfer and Taylor Swift (what did we are saying about her!). Michelle has had success as a gosepl artist and was even engaged to a pastor in 2018, making her a great guess right here.
Penguin
“I just have to get my hair done,” Penguin says at one level. At one other they check with themselves as “cold as ice, but I’m bringing the heat.” These are penguin references, positive, however there’s additionally Vanilla Ice, who starred in “Cool as Ice.”
That mentioned whereas Ice was on lots of people’s minds, so had been lots of different celebs together with Lady Gaga, Raven-Symoné and even Paula Abdul. Hearing their singing voices will assist slender these down tremedously.
Leopard
Leopard sported a British accent and sounded very posh all through, however was it actual? She mentioned she’d been “spotted with the president” and the costume was particularly designed to cover her “natural silhouette.” What makes her silhouette so well-known? Is it Dolly Parton?
But she additionally mentioned she may “move meown-tains,” which for some purpose made us consider Julie Andrews (“The Sound of Music” maybe). Still, a number of on the Internet ignored the accent to guess Omarosa, whereas others went with Monica Lewinsky, Mel B and even Sharon Osbourne. It could possibly be anybody from “Celebrity Apprentice” in any case.
Egg
Egg went very cryptic with their clue, saying, “My mom always told me, life has an expiration date, so always work hard for the first and last vowels of the alphabet.” Could that be a reference to their very own initials? A.U. or A.Y.? We’ve by no means heard this expression.
Amy Schumer was tossed out as a guess as a result of Egg had plenty of jokes and her first identify begins and ends with “A” and “Y.” There had been sevel guesses for Vanna White, which might tie into letters due to “Wheel of Fortune” and some feeling assured it is egg’s greatest buddy:

Rottweiler
Lots of canine references right here, clearly, together with “best in show” and “working my tail off to earn your puppy love.” The costume itself has a hip-hop vibe with rock-laborious abs, however Tommy Chong did abs final yr with Pineapple.
He aso blended up the fashionable phrase to “roses are blue, violets are red,” however that would have simply been to rhyme with “head.” The web is throughout the place on this one, with guess starting from Donnie Wahlberg to Jason Derulo, Fred Durst and even the extremely apparent Bow Wow.
Flower
Flower says, “I blossom in every field I plant myself in and I’m here to branch out yet again.” From that one line alone, the web is fairly positive that is Mayim Bialik (“Blossom”), who has confirmed herself good in a number of totally different fields.
Her backdrop of flowers spelled out 314, and we don’t know what that could possibly be referencing. Area code is St. Louis, so possibly somebody from there? We did see Jenna Fischer as a guess, and she or he is from the STL.
Thingamajig
Thingamajig is 7′ tall in costume, however has large hair and platform sneakers, so could possibly be beneath 6′ in actual life. Nevertheless, they mentioned, “I will tower over the rest of the singer with my puzzling persona.” Perhaps extra considerably, he made a shout-out to “Star Wars,” saying, “Don’t call me Chewbacca, though we do celebrate together.”
Probably too straightforward to be Joonas Suotamo, who took over the position from Peter Mayhew. Also that dude is 6’11” not in a dressing up. But one other good guess is Ahmed Best, who performed Jar Jar Binks and like T-Pain could possibly be wanting for a recent begin. That mentioned, Wayne Brady bought lots of guesses and it may even be Will Arnett, whose birthday is May the Fourth.
Panda
Panda was one other contestant who gave us cooking vibes, saying “the victory will taste sweet, like bamboo. Especially the way I prepare it.” She additionally mentioned she’s bought “the moves and the energy to go all the way.”
This one is giving us extra of a Rachael Ray vibe than Tree, although the web went in every single place from Martha Stewart to Guy Fieri. Even Matt LeBlanc bought a shout-out, so that they’re clearly greedy at straws right here.
Black Widow
The phrases of Black Widow stayed fairly punny all through, so our greatest clue we pulled out was a deck of Black Widow tarot playing cards. Honestly, it isn’t that a lot to go on, so we’re fairly in the darkish nonetheless on this one.
Yes, there have been lots of guesses for Scarlett Johansson, however please! Dionne Warwick and Zendaya bought shout-outs, too, however for the most half, the web is as flummoxed as we’re. The Monster was a complete thriller out of the gate, so possibly this bodes effectively for Black Widow.
Unknown Mask
Costume reveal saved for Emmy evening, with many speculating that is Ladybug. But we all know nothing extra.
All shall be revealed (slowly) over the course of “THe Masked Singer” Season 2, Wednesdays at eight p.m. ET on FOX, beginning September 25.”
