Shrek Evening Reveals Grammy-Nominated Sports activities Legend

Ant, Coral, Fuzzy Peas, and Papparazzo all introduced stellar performances to the stage once more this week, with considered one of them even performing in honor of shut, private good friend — and comedy icon — Robin Williams!

From Smash Mouth to Counting Crows to Katy Perry to, ahem, Smash Mouth once more, it was an evening of excessive power, excessive emotions, and large laughs. As for the reveal, Rita referred to as it probably the most stunning within the historical past of the present, although that might be as a result of nobody on the panel was anyplace shut with their guesses!

There have been no dangerous performers left after final week’s premiere revealed Cedric the Entertainer underneath the Honey Pot costume, so how might they determine who to ship residence this week? There’s just one solution to discover out. You recognize the drill!

Let’s bounce proper in with this week’s masks. And don’t fret, earlier than we get to the stunning unmasking(s), we will make you energy via the horrible (and infrequently good) guesses made by our illustrious panel of Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora first. We do that as a result of we love … to torture you.

(“All Star,” Smash Mouth) Rocking an ideal Lord Farquaad look, Ken blasted out of a port-a-potty with a pitch-perfect supply of this basic ’90s monitor featured within the movie franchise. He rapidly began hamming it up, proving that this present will be as a lot about pure leisure as high quality singing when filtered via the proper persona. Oddly, the traces delivered by Jenny, Robin, and Rita sounded pre-recorded as they joined Ken on the stage for his huge finale. Nonetheless, this was a goofy blast … which just about sums up the present when it is at its finest.

(“By chance in Love,” Counting Crows) Coral was much more upbeat this week, taking the inherent disappointment of the unique monitor into a way more sunshine-and-rainbows take a look at the lyrics. There was a pleasant little break in her voice and he or she continues to point out a powerful vary and vocal management, even when her voice was giving a whole lot of Disney healthful chipperness this week — in distinction to final week’s extra haunting debut.

Clues & Guesses: For her second clue package deal, Coral went spooky with photos of a spider and a werewolf as she talked about bringing that BDE (Huge Donkey Power) to a efficiency devoted to the “main man” in her life. He was apparently an precise main man she first became a good friend … after which that blossomed into extra.

We additionally noticed her studying from her very personal comedian ebook, which had the panel fascinated with superheroes. Coral’s fairy story clue was “Coral and the Silver Display screen.” She defined in her peppy method, “With slightly magic and a whole lot of exhausting work, you can also sing and dance on the silver display.”

Instantly within the premiere, Coral liked her costume when she first noticed it, praising it is majestic look with exhausting, robust edges, “the sort that is sturdy and resilient.” She shared that she spent years begging folks to let her sing, however it took eight years of rejection earlier than she bought the prospect. From slightly woman struggling via the insanity of the music trade, she stated one small victory (a single sure) became her voice being heard throughout the globe.

“All these nos simply made me stronger, and all it took was one sure to begin a solution to success,” she stated perkily on stage. Her clue package deal confirmed her hammering on the roof of a literal mannequin residence, whereas a pink damaged coronary heart on a TV display accompanied all these nos she bought, so might this be a actuality singing present reject?

This week, Rita was flip-flopping between two names with Anna Kendrick, tying the werewolf to her work in Twilight, her first guess. Nonetheless, she was feeling extra assured about her personal Descendants costar — who starred in a Marvel TV present to tie within the comedian ebook — Dove Cameron.

Jenny, nonetheless, took the comedian ebook to Hawkeye to Spider-Man voice actress Hailee Steinfeld. It does match these clues, however Robin, as a substitute considered Archie Comics to seek out Riverdale star Lili Reinhart.

In the meantime, on-line, the guesses have been form of far and wide, with names starting from Halle Bailey to Addison Rae, however the one which has probably the most help is Disney’s Zombies franchise star Meg Donnelly. Meg has completed some DC superhero voiceover work. Maybe extra to the clues, she fell in love together with her main man Winchesters costar, Drake Rodger.

(“Hallelujah,” Leonard Cohen) Paparazzo paid tribute to his private hero Robin Williams and all those that shine vibrant however overlook their very own gentle with a heartfelt and exquisite vocal. Whereas he is maintained he isn’t recognized for his singing, we liked the clever selections he took in his interpretation of such an iconic music that we have heard sung 1000’s of occasions by 1000’s of various artists. It was so tasteful and actually showcased his reward.

Clues & Guesses: Robin Williams took heart stage for Paparazzo’s second clue package deal, with the thriller man revealing that the comedy legend was a private hero of his, in addition to somebody he knew properly. He shared that Robin as soon as might inform he wanted steerage, and supplied it by sharing a few of his personal story.

With photos of a person on a horse in statue kind, a flying witch on a ebook cowl, and a lantern releasing fireflies, Paparazzo stated that he realized to not decide what’s on the surface, as a result of it is what’s inside that issues most, and he additionally realized the significance of kindness. At all times.

His fairy story clue was, “The Voice-Over Prince.” Paparazzo added some context, sharing that “adults know me for my performing, however the children know me for my voice.”

Paparazzo has had cameras pointing at him his complete life, suggesting a baby star. He even stated he took “America’s Sweetheart” to the promenade, additional solidifying that idea. He stated he is had an opportunity to work with the greats, displaying pics of Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, and Chris Farley, on the silver display.

We have seen him do a whole lot of issues, he stated, however by no means sing. We additionally noticed a black labrador, a shot of him by a race automotive when he talked about being within the motion pictures, and a “Residence Candy Residence” rug. On stage, he stated he may spill the tea on one other good friend, Steve Martin, if we hold him round.

Robin began fascinated with a flexible actor who starred in Robin Williams’ The Butler, James Marsden, however Ken as a substitute thought the voice reminded him a little bit of his pal Seth Inexperienced. He starred with Robin in Outdated Canines, and he is completed a ton of voiceover work, from Household Man and Robotic Hen. Rita thought of Paparazzo’s youngster star previous to contemplate Robin’s Comfortable Ft costar Elijah Wooden, who does have an analogous physique.

However the web is circling one other well-known youngster star, who additionally comes from a musical household — although that is been extra underplayed over time. Matthew Lawrence suits final week’s promenade clue, too, as he as soon as dated Boy Meets World costar — and America’s sweetheart — Danielle Fishel, taking her to his promenade. He starred alongside Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire

(“I am a Believer,” Smash Mouth) Fuzzy Peas put slightly extra calls for on himself this week and proved that he is undoubtedly not a singer, however he is bought an amazing power and he is nonetheless very entertaining. He leaned into his swashbuckler, dashing romantic lead with this week’s efficiency. It was principally efficient, although we undoubtedly discovered our consideration drifting a bit because the efficiency went on. He might be in bother tonight.

Clues & Guesses: It was time to speak about love in Fuzzy Peas’ second clue package deal, together with his sense of connection to Shrek sidekick Puss in Boots. With a Spanish postcard, an enormous mug of (root?) beer, and slightly canine statue, we realized how a girl stunned him by making him fall in love. Now, he believes everybody can discover love — if he did.

His fairy story clue title was, “Fuzzy Peas and the Even Fuzzier Statue,” which he defined by saying, “I’ve a whole lot of awards, however my favourite one often is the statue that I obtained; it appears identical to me.” Instantly, Rita questioned, “Is that an Oscar? Or a Golden Globe, perhaps?”

A 3rd era in his discipline, per his premiere clue package deal, Fuzzy Peas maintained a Hispanic accent all through, which can or might not be genuine (we have seen faked accents earlier than). We noticed a rubber hen in a vegetable stand, in addition to an XBox controller and a golden globe whereas he talked about securing a gold file.

He talked about his household combating for what they believed in and the way with a touch of his mom’s ardour, he was capable of obtain his desires. He stated he is change into recognized for his hits, with a few of them even Grammy-nominated — however he fell shy of explicitly saying it was for his music. That is bought us once more questioning if he is a comic with some nominations for comedy albums.

“I used to be nominated with Shakira and Christina Aguilera [at the Grammys],” stated Fuzzy Peas on the stage, leaving us much more perplexed. Rita thought we would snort at her Mario Lopez guess, however it was higher than Jenny’s George Lopez joke.

Rita has seen too many canines within the clue package deal at this level, so she sheepishly threw out Cesar Milan as a guess, which is definitely daring. “I believe Rita’s been sitting subsequent to Ken too lengthy,” Jenny stated to that, whereas Nick defended her, saying it is truly a very good guess.

Ken then instructed Rita hers was “probably the most ridiculous guess I’ve ever heard,” earlier than instantly going into, “Fuzzy Peas is Pitbull and I am going to let you know why” — which meant he had no concept. Jenny, although, was feeling assured together with her guess (which feels slightly too on the nostril for us), Antonio Banderas.

As a substitute, we’re with the interwebs in considering alongside the traces of 1 Oscar De La Hoya, who comes from a generational boxing household and was nominated for a Grammy (a statue) for his 2001 self-titled album, the place he competed for Greatest Latin Pop Album towards Christina Aguilera and winner Shakira, tying to that clue.

His remark this week about being recognized to throw down in a combat suits fairly clearly together with his boxing pedigree, whereas he did not too long ago discover love with Holly Sonders in 2021 after years of tumultuous relationships.

(“Huge Awake,” Katy Perry) Ant is on this present with a mission and this was a triumphant assertion efficiency. It was additionally an extremely highly effective vocal, with power, vary, and a fantastically crisp tone. Ant is a powerhouse singer, although there have been moments it did really feel she was holding one thing again. If she’s not a celebrity artist, she definitely might (perhaps ought to?) be.

Clues & Guesses: In her Week 2 clue package deal, Ant opened up a bit extra about her struggles, speaking about one “villain” specifically who instructed her that with a purpose to get forward, she wanted to obey, be submissive, and most of all, silent. She felt trapped, frozen, and remoted till extra not too long ago she determined it was time to interrupt out and inform her personal story. Visible clues included an alarm clock at 6:00, a bottle of hair spray, a backpack, and a compass pointing to the west.

The title of her fairy story was, “The Golden Ant.” She added, “I suppose it is as a result of my golden voice bought me two licensed platinums.”

Ant’s first clue package deal was all about her mission, which is to point out that no person needs to be so torn down and damaged that they don’t seem to be worthy of affection and deserve an opportunity. In her case, she stated a “deep, darkish secret” she’d carried her complete profession resulted in “highly effective folks tried to erase me.”

She stated they tried to brush her off and stomp her out, with the load of all of it in the end breaking her spirit. However she selected to face again up and be a “warrior,” relatively than “keep damaged.” Alongside the way in which to her “march towards change” on this present, we noticed photos of a dollhouse with a candelabra, a pink “X” on a tree, and a wizard hat.

“I’ll do you justice,” she stated upon first seeing her costume. On stage, she added whereas getting emotional, “I am actually right here tonight for all of the survivors. I see you. Anybody who’s needed to endure, I see you and I help you. Collectively, nobody will ever stomp us out.”

With two weeks of tales about overcoming a lot wrestle, Ken thought of Jenny’s Week 1 guess of Kesha, who’s definitely been via it publicly. He tied the clock to her hit “TikTok,” a licensed platinum monitor. Robin, although, has been considering of an actress who additionally broke via in music, once more contemplating Lindsay Lohan. Jenny wasn’t feeling that, however as a substitute considered that west-pointing compass to contemplate Westworld star Evan Rachel Wooden.

The web, in the meantime, has been exploring different ladies who’ve had a tough time in Hollywood — which carries a bleakness — with names like Jennette McCurdy, Victoria Justice, Alyssa Milano, and Chanté Moore, whereas fairly just a few had been additionally feeling the Kesha guesses.

Kesha does have two platinum albums, Animal and Rainbow, which ties to tonight’s clue, and famously stated she and her band use hairspray to make glitter stick with their our bodies on stage. She’s additionally particularly has began one particular person because the “villain” in her story of overcoming private {and professional} abuse.

After a powerful lineup of performances, there was actually just one that appeared to fall all the way in which quick, and that was poor Fuzzy Peas. Everybody else actually got here out with one thing to say, making sturdy inventive selections and actually expressing themselves.

Fuzzy Peas was a whole lot of enjoyable, however vocally he is simply not an anybody else’s stage. Fortunately, the viewers agreed, sending the opposite three into subsequent week’s Group A finals, and Fuzzy Peas to this week’s huge reveal.

The Crack the Case Clue Case for Fuzzy Peas was a golf glove and golf ball. “I like this sport,” stated Fuzzy Peas. “I really feel like a pure after I placed on the second most essential glove I personal.” Rita, although, did not wish to let go of her guess, complicated everybody by saying, “A canine chases balls, proper?”

• Robin Thicke: John Leguizamo
• Jenny McCarthy: Antonio Banderas
• Ken Jeong: Pitbull
• Rita Ora: Cesar Milan

So the panel clearly has no concept. Ultimately, it was boxing icon Oscar De La Hoya, so not less than the web can really feel good that they bought it proper, as a result of no person on the panel had a clue.

The Masked Singer continues subsequent Wednesday with the Group A Finals and a tribute to the Rat Pack at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
