Who Are the Thirsty Celebrities on The Masked Singer?

I must say, I’m leaning quite heavily towards Yvette Nicole Brown as Showbird. Her voice is unmistakable, and her connections to Joel McHale and Ken Jeong, coupled with her Hollywood background and nerdy interests, all point strongly in her direction. Plus, who wouldn’t love to see the delightful Yvette on The Masked Singer?

As the new season of “The Masked Singer” begins, there’s a reminder that the show has featured a total of 186 celebrities across 11 seasons. This number raises an interesting question about who qualifies as a celebrity on this show, given that it often invites C-to-D list personalities these days. However, according to the judges (and let’s be honest, who are we to doubt them?), even big names like Cardi B, Tom Brady, or Kerry Washington could potentially appear on stage at any moment. Although, with very rare exceptions, celebrities of that caliber have never been unmasked, viewers continue to tune in each week, eager to discover the identities of the unknown individuals.

Keeping them in mind, as we’re still unfamiliar with the contestants from Season 12 like Dust Bunny, Goo, Wasp, Bluebell, Chess Piece, Sherlock Hound, Royal Knight, Macaron, Ice King, and Strawberry Shortcake – let me share our educated guesses on who the prominent figures might be this season on The Masked Singer.

Who is Buffalo?

Who Are the Thirsty Celebrities on The Masked Singer?

As a dedicated moviegoer, let me share some intriguing insights about the enigmatic figures known as the Buffalos. At first glance, it seems like there’s only one Buffalo, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that these are actually three members of a herd. The introduction by ambassador Nick Lachey hints at shared experiences such as sleepovers plagued by roaches, rehearsals at bus stops, and a connection to Betty and Vanna White.

There’s a strong possibility that it’s Boyz II Men due to several factors. Reddit seems to share this viewpoint. They recently completed a short residency in Vegas, which included Robin Thicke as a fellow performer. Last year, one of their members, Wanya Morris, was part of an unusual insurance-backed “supergroup” with Nick Lachey. Moreover, they’ve made appearances on several popular sitcoms such as The Fresh Prince, Moesha, and How I Met Your Mother.

Here’s another way to phrase it: It appears that neither Jenny McCarthy nor Rita Ora believe it could be Boyz II Men. Their reasoning is based on the possibility that the mystery singer might be Omarion, a vocalist who has already appeared on The Masked Singer and hasn’t been a leading actor in any popular sitcoms, aside from some guest roles on The Bernie Mac Show and Grown-ish. Rita Ora also speculates it could be Earth, Wind & Fire, but that idea seems unlikely and is being dismissed. The judges also hint that the individuals under the Buffalo costumes could potentially be athletes due to their size compared to the relatively slender Nick Cannon, although it’s challenging to imagine any athletes capable of singing and harmonizing as well as the Buffalo performer does.

Who is Woodpecker?

Allow me to share some fascinating insights about Woodpecker: This contestant, introduced by esteemed ambassador Jenifer Lewis, has been acquainted with Woodpecker since her inception. This character appears small and seems female, boasting a masked appearance. Prior to revealing her business acumen, she identifies herself as both a mogul and a “stylish CEO”. She further mentions her friendship with the renowned Beyoncé. On this show, she expresses her aspirations to become the youngest billionaire in the world.

It’s clearly Marsai Martin due to her remarkable achievements at such a young age: At only 20 years old, Marsai Martin has already had an impressive career in Hollywood. She shared the screen with Lewis on Black-ish, earned six NAACP Image and two SAG Award nominations, and produced or executive-produced numerous projects. She even holds a first-look production deal with Universal. In an interview with BET, she expressed her ambition to become the youngest billionaire or trillionaire.

Why it might not be Marsai Martin: It could be Chloe or Halle Bailey, both of whom are notably friends with Beyoncé and who could qualify here. Then again, they’re probably way too popular for this show, so we’re sticking with Ms. Martin.

Who is Leaf Sheep?

Let’s discuss Leaf Sheep, as previously introduced by ex-Denver Bronco Demarcus Ware (previously known as Koala): Referred to as “the GOAT,” though he admits being somewhat slow these days, Leaf Sheep was once a standout. He has claimed the top spot and revitalized a team, and there’s an intriguing connection between him and both a seahorse donning a cowboy hat and a quarter. Additionally, it is well-known that his singing skills leave much to be desired.

It’s highly likely that we’re referring to John Elway, the ex-Denver Broncos quarterback. This assumption is based on his age, his past role as a quarterback for an NFL team with equine-themed symbols (Cowboys or Horses), and the fact that he may not have much talent for singing. Although the Broncos were doing relatively well in 1983 before Elway joined, they struggled significantly in the mid to late 2000s. However, after Elway took over as GM and recruited Peyton Manning as QB, the team saw a significant turnaround, culminating in their eventual trip to the Super Bowl.

Why it might not be John Elway: It is. His lackluster vocal performance landed him in the bottom in the season premiere, leading to his unmasking.

Who is Showbird?

Allow me to share some insights about Showbird: Known through acquaintance with Joel McHale, who has never participated in Masked Singer but frequently teases Ken Jeong, Showbird grew up as a bit of a tomboy and confesses to having interests typically associated with nerds, such as LEGO and Comic-Con. She claims to have appeared in some of the most successful films ever made, and her introductory video features a golden gavel, hinting at a judicial role.

Why it’s definitely Yvette Nicole Brown: First of all: Just listen to her. That’s 100 percent Yvette Nicole Brown’s distinctive voice. Second, there’s the link to both McHale and Jeong, whom she starred alongside in Community. And third and fourthly, there are the Hollywood clues, since she notably played Judge Anita Harper on A Black Lady Sketch Show and had roles in Tropic Thunder, Avengers: Endgame, and (500) Days of Summer, among other projects. She’s also a LEGO superfan and a Comic-Con regular who’s moderated more than one big Hall H panel.

Why it might not be Yvette Nicole Brown: If you believe Ken Jeong and literally no one else, it could be Jennifer Hudson. Rita Ora thinks it’s Taraji P. Henson, which is possible but unlikely, and Robin Thicke says Kerry Washington, which is just insulting to Kerry Washington.

Who is the Ship?

Let me share some insights about the Ship: This vessel has a design reminiscent of a steampunk schooner, and it’s been long-time acquaintances with Jewel. The Ship shares that her professional journey started swiftly, but she encountered difficulties, feeling adrift and neglected. However, she managed to bounce back and is now enjoying the career she’s always dreamed of. Additionally, the Ship demonstrates a proficient singing ability, as evidenced by her rendition of “Pompeii” by Bastille, which includes an impressive use of alto vibrato.

Why it’s definitely Belinda Carlisle: When thinking of people who could possibly be in The Masked Singer costumes, you first have to think about which likely participants haven’t been in the costumes yet. Carlisle has always been a go-to guess for some of the judges, but she’s never actually appeared. Also, after hitting it big quickly with the Go-Gos and then going solo, she had a decades-long substance-use issue that could be characterized as being “lost at sea.” She pulled it together, though, and released a new EP, Kismet, earlier this year.

Could it be someone other than Belinda Carlisle? There are several ’80s and ’90s female singers who could fit the bill, such as Joan Osborne, Meredith Brooks, Sarah McLachlan, Paula Cole, Tracy Bonham, Suzanne Vega, Lisa Loeb, or Shawn Colvin. The cowboy hat suggests it might be Paula Cole, known for “Where Have All the Cowboys Gone,” or perhaps Tanya Tucker, famous for stirring up controversy. However, more details are needed to make a definitive guess.
