Meet the Contestants of Group A
Who Is Ant?
Ant has a story that has grabbed everyone’s attention. She explained that she chose the name Ant because, like ants, she is small but strong. She revealed that she has carried a heavy secret throughout her career. She shared that powerful people tried to erase her and silence her, but she refused to stay quiet.
She said she recently made a choice—to stay broken or to fight and make her voice heard. She has chosen to be a warrior and push for change.
For her first performance, Ant sang “Just Give Me a Reason” by Pink and Nate Ruess. The judges praised her emotional performance and bravery. Some of their guesses for Ant’s identity included Lea Michele, Lindsay Lohan, Kesha, and Ashanti.
Before leaving the stage, Ant hinted that she had gone through a traumatic year and was unsure if she could even perform. While her identity is still a mystery, her story has touched many viewers.
Who Is Paparazzo?
Paparazzo is no stranger to the spotlight. He shared in his clues that cameras have been on him for his entire life. Even though he has done many things in his career, singing on a big stage is something new for him.
He revealed that he has worked with famous actors like Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, and Chris Farley. There was also an image of a racecar, and he mentioned that he once took America’s sweetheart to prom.
Paparazzo admitted that performing on The Masked Singer makes him nervous, but he is ready to step outside his comfort zone. He wants to overcome his fears and win over the audience.
For his performance, Paparazzo sang “The Door” by Teddy Swims. The judges were entertained, but their guesses were all over the place. Some of their picks included Taron Egerton, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Kieran Culkin.
Before leaving the stage, Paparazzo teased that if he stays in the competition, he might share a secret about his friend Steve Martin. Could this mean he is a comedian as well?
Who Is Honey Pot?
Honey Pot brought a fun and playful energy to the stage. He started his clue package by joking around and even high-fiving his costume. Based on his stature, he is definitely not an athlete.
Honey Pot described himself as someone who will do anything for a laugh. His clues included a game show setting where he asked questions about his career. He claimed to be a founding father of modern-day comedy and has sold more than $2 billion at the box office. There was also a stuffed lion shown as a clue.
For his performance, Honey Pot sang “SexyBack” by Justin Timberlake. The performance was full of confidence and style. The judges threw out guesses like Steve Harvey, Cedric the Entertainer, and Keegan-Michael Key. Could one of them be right?
Who Is Coral?
Coral shared that she has a strong and resilient personality, just like coral in the ocean. She has dreamed of becoming a star since childhood, but the road has not been easy.
She talked about struggling for eight years before finally getting her big break. A “Live” sign lit up in her clue package, suggesting that she has performed on live television.
For her first performance, Coral sang “Mad World” by Tears for Fears. The performance was emotional and dramatic, even featuring Cirque du Soleil-style acrobatics.
The judges guessed that Coral could be Bebe Rexha, Carly Rae Jepsen, Halsey, or Sabrina Carpenter. She could be a pop star, but not the most obvious one.
Who Is Fuzzy Peas?
Fuzzy Peas may have a silly name, but he takes his talent seriously. His clue package had a Latin-inspired soundtrack, hinting at his possible background. He mentioned that he comes from a third-generation family in his industry and fights for his beliefs.
His clues included a rubber chicken, a gold record, and an Xbox controller. He also revealed that he has been Grammy-nominated and has worked with stars like Shakira and Christina Aguilera.
For his performance, Fuzzy Peas sang “La Bamba” by Ritchie Valens. The audience loved it! The judges guessed Mario Lopez, George Lopez, or John Leguizamo. Based on the clues, they might be onto something!

- Robin Thicke guessed Martin Lawrence.
- Rita Ora guessed Eddie Murphy.
- Ken Jeong guessed Cedric the Entertainer.
- Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg agreed with Ken’s guess.
