"I think this could be Jelly Roll," Rita tells her co-panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, and Ken Jeong. "Let me tell you why! He's got a wife — her name is [Bunnie XO] — who I love on Instagram and on her podcast. I'm obsessed with her energy and she has been holding him down, honey! That's my guess."
It’s "Soundtrack of My Life Night" on The Masked Singer this Wednesday, and the top five contestants are bringing their A-game! The night kicks off with a pitch-perfect group performance of "More Than a Feeling," setting the stage for fun-tastic evening. Each masked singer will perform a song that holds special meaning to them, with personal insights shared by those closest to them.
The final five will bring down the house with powerful renditions of "Sk8er Boi," "Million Reasons," "Golden Hour," "Your Love," and "The Scientist." But by the end of the night, one celebrity will have to unmask, leaving the remaining contestants to advance to the semi-finals.
