Celebrities are often recruited to join a show called The Masked Singer where they face off in costumes using only their voices. It is both a singing competition as much as it is a guessing game, as no one truly knows who is beneath the costumes. Many are professional singers or celebrities who often use their voices in their careers, but others are people that fans would never guess.
This list showcases a few of the celebrities who fans never knew had the ability to sing. They might not be the next Mariah Carey, but they can carry a tune better than most of their fans. Keep reading to learn about a few of these celebrities who made an appearance on The Masked Singer!
Tom Bergeron: The Taco
Tom Bergeron is known for being a host of several shows like America's Funniest Home Videos and Dancing with the Stars, but now he can add singing to his resume. He debuted as the Taco and only sang two songs which were Fly Me to the Moon and Bossa Nova Baby.
His second performance was a bit shaky in terms of dancing and led to his unmasking, but seeing how the judges knew him personally and failed to guess who it was made it even better.
Jordyn Woods: The Kangaroo
Many are familiar with Jordyn Woods as she was friends with Kylie Jenner before the Tristan Thompson scandal unfolded. She debuted as the Kangaroo on the show and made it to the top eight as she was unmasked after singing Dancing On My Own.
Many couldn't believe what an incredible voice she had and she has since revealed that she plans to launch her music career after the feedback from her performances.
Dr. Drew Pinksy: The Eagle
Dr. Drew Pinksy is both a television personality as well as a medical professional who few knew has the voice of an angel. He transformed into the Eagle for this singing role but was unmasked after losing in a battle to the Penguin.
He has sung the national anthem at professional sporting events in the past, although few know this and failed to put the two together.
Tony Hawk: The Elephant
Tony Hawk is a skateboarding legend who was one of the celebrities recruited to be on the show. He performed Friday, I'm in Love before he was eliminated from the show, but it was quite an experience for him.
This celebrity is not naturally a dancer either, so he tried to incorporate things he learned from skateboarding, like jumping and sliding, into his routine. He was a great addition to the show as he fooled everyone who was watching as no one would ever expect him to sing on a show like this.
Tyler "Ninja" Blevins: The Ice Cream
Fans of a game called Fortnite idolize this streamer and no one ever would have expected him to sing as well as he did. He was only able to perform one song on the show's premiere called Old Town Road, but it left quite an impression.
His time as the Ice Cream was shortlived, although, the impact he had on his fans as he stepped outside of his comfort zone was something all fans could applaud.
Sarah Palin: The Bear
Sarah Palin's costume as the Bear should have helped fans guess who she was as she is known for her home residence in Alaska. She performed Baby Got Back and people were astonished at her ability to rap as the entire audience had gaping mouths at the sight.
It was one of the most bizarre performances to date as it was a true surprise to see this former governor sing her heart out on stage.
Johnny Weir: The Egg
No one would expect Johnny Weir, an Olympic figure skater, to hit the stage on this show. He killed his performance as the Egg and his dance moves were definitely influenced by his figure skating routines out on the ice.
Unfortunately, he was the first to be voted off after singing Just Dance by Lady Gaga although many were sad to see him go. It was a surprise to see him be voted off so early after such an energetic performance, but others were more surprised by who was revealed.
Laila Ali: The Panda
Laila Ali is a four-time world champion boxer, but now she can add singing to her resume. Many think the clues hinting at her famous father might have given away that she was the singer beneath the Panda mask, but others still had no idea.
She didn't make it past the second episode of the show although fans now look at this athlete in a new light as she reveals a different side that few have been privileged to see.
Rob Gronkowski: The White Tiger
Rob Gronkowski formerly retired back in 2018 from the NFL following an injury before deciding to come back and play with Tom Brady for the Buccaneers.
He spent part of his time on this show as the White Tiger where he performed Good Vibrations, Ice Ice Baby, and I'm Too Sexy. His vocals can't compare to his abilities on the field, but that doesn't take away from how great he was on this show.
Antonio Brown: The Hippo
Antonio Brown is a free agent in the NFL after having a falling out with several teams and he has spent part of his freedom as a contestant on this show.
He was the first to be eliminated in Season 1 after performing My Prerogative as the Hippo. The judges were stumped, even if they could guess he was an athlete based on his stature and dance moves, and even those watching never would have guessed this celebrity.
