Night Angel is heading into The Masked Singer super nine championships and is one of the favorites to win. Now the question is, who is Night Angel? We have our guess and the clue connections to prove it.
This final week of group C, Night Angel came out and blew fans away yet again as she switched it up with "Shout" by the Isley Brothers. Our prediction since week one has remained Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss. This week provided even more support for that theory. The bonus clue was "Shhhh....I've always had faith." With songs like "Stay Prayed Up" it's clear that clue works well with the singer/songwriter. She has also discussed how faith was very important to her when getting over her ex-fiance's death. The clue package was presented by one of her high school friends who told of how Night Angel missed prom and spent much of high school chasing her dreams and was even forced to make a choice between graduation ceremony and a career opportunity. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star started her career in high school. She joined the girl group Xscape as a teen and appeared on the BET series Teen Summit when she was only 15-years-old.
One of the visual clues was a rotary phone. This clue threw many people off as they were looking for a connection to a phone or to a rotary phone specifically. But the significance wasn't the phone itself but rather that the phone was off the hook. Off the Hook is the name of Xscape's second album. There was a post-performance lego clue that showed Jenny and said "Good Times." Night Angel went on to say Jenny said her name often on the show. Since Burruss was on The Jenny McCarthy Show multiple times that clue would make sense.
During week two, Night Angel talked about being lost in a crowd while surrounded by other angels. During this, there was a visual clue of three other Night Angel look-alikes. This clue seemed fairly obvious to point to the girl group Xscape which Kandi first came to fame with. Another strong visual clue was a castle and a berry drawn on a chalkboard. The restaurant that Burruss owns is located in the Castleberry Hill neighborhood of Atlanta. One of the other big clues week two was her mention of her destiny bringing her back to the stage. Burruss wrote many songs for various groups and one was famously the girl group Destiny's Child. The talk of the empire led many to think of the show Empire. In previous seasons this clue has been used a few times. In this case, however, it is more likely referring to an actual empire. There are plenty of articles online about the empire Burruss has built and even about how she built it. There was a pitcher of tea that could either point to her being from the South or all the tea spilled on The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
The week one package had a strong visual with the motel room doors for rooms 4,5 and 6. Burruss and Solé had a song called "4,5,6." There was also a number 2 room key that was zoomed in on. Burrus got her housewives key when she joined The Real Housewives of Atlanta during its second season. One of the most undeniable clues was a group of four elderly women wielding weapons. Part of Burruss's previously mentioned empire includes a restaurant called Old Lady Gang. There was also a scene with a party shown last. "Tardy for the Party" by fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak is a song that Burruss co-wrote. There seems little room for doubt on this one. Night Angel is definitely Kandi Burruss.
The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays at 8pm EST on Fox.
