AceShowbiz - "The Masked Singer" took viewers to another galaxy on Space Night. Airing on Wednesday, April 12, the new episode of FOX's hit series featured contestants Dandelion, Lamp and UFO delivering out-of-this-world performances.
Reigning champ Dandelion was the first one to hit the stage. In her clue package, she said, "Space is meaningful to me because it showed me early what I wanted to do with the rest of my life." Her dog also made an appearance in the package alongside a Santa hat and a crying laughing emoji.
That night, Dandelion sang and played piano to Muse's "Starlight". Among the guesses by the judges, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy and Robin Thicke, were Sara Bareilles, Alicia Witt and Zendaya Coleman.
Up next was Lamp. Lamp lit up the stage with her performance of Bananarama's "Venus". In her clue package, Lamp admitted, "I'm terrified of singing, especially in front of people." It also featured an energy drink, a yearbook and a witch's cauldron.
"Being a teen queen darling did come with a few first-class perks. From Ryan Reynolds to Mario Lopez to James Van Der Beek, I locked lips with some of my generation's most iconic heartthrobs," she continued. "Spaceballs" star Daphne Zuniga then brought out a clue, which was a cover girl. The panelists mentioned Neve Campbell, Melissa Joan Hart, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Alyssa Milano and Tara Reid as their guesses for Lamp.
UFO rounded out the night. Her clue package showed a graveyard, a sewing machine and "RIP Queen Victoria." An announcer later said in the clue package, "This is no model plane."
UFO opted to sing "Yellow" by Coldplay before Astronaut Mike Massimino delivered the phrase "planet-wide" as an additional clue for UFO. The panel thought UFO could be Kaia Gerber, Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner.
Following the performances, host Nick Cannon revealed that Dandelion received the least votes from the studio audience. It meant she had to get unmasked and Ken made a correct guess because Dandelion was Hallmark star Alicia Witt.
UFO and Lamp were later sent to the Battle Royal, where they put their own spin to Elton John's "Rocket Man". Ultimately, the judges decided to keep UFO in the competition, so Lamp would be the second contestant to get unmasked that night. The panels all agreed that Lamp was seemingly Melissa Joan Hart and the one underneath the costume was really the "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" star.
