FOX aired a brand new episode of The Masked Singer on Wednesday, April 26 where the three singers saved by the "Ding Dong Keep It On" bell competed against each other for a spot in the quarter-finals. The performers were Mantis, Gargoyle, and Medusa.
Mantis was eliminated in the first round itself. Gargoyle and Medusa performed on Fall Out Boy's Centuries but the former failed to impress the judges. Gargoyle was then revealed to be NFL player Keenan Alexander Allen.
Medusa once again defeated new competitors, even after a high-pitched performance on Shawn Mendes' Mercy.
The Masked Singer fans, however, were not at all impressed with Medusa's voice and singing style. They felt that she kept singing the same note over and over again, almost shouting, unlike Gargoyle's calm voice, which has range.
They felt that Medusa should have been the one who was sent home instead of Keenan.
The Masked Singer fans don't like Medusa's singing style
Medusa has been a part of the show since the first episode and has successfully defeated Mustang, Gnome, Rock Lobster, Night Owl, and Polar Bear in the first group. She was defeated by the California Roll group in episode three but the judges saved her before the unmasking.
Judge Nicole praised Medusa’s performance on Mercy by saying:
"You stirred our souls tonight."
The judges liked Gargoyle’s voice but still decided that Medusa was the one who deserved to go to the quarter-finals. The Masked Singer fans did not like Medusa's overall performance and felt that she should not have been saved.
Hints on Medusa's identity
Fans already have many clues about Medusa’s identity:
- Grew up far from the spotlight and a dancer in the dark
- Did her own thing and not worrying about fitting in
- Has been on The Masked Singer stage and the super bowl
- Is a softy
- Grew up singing with her father
- Felt like an underdog
- A sign that says Alais
- Known by a different name at home
Some of Medusa's visual clues are Buckingham Palace, a large knight and bishop from a chessboard, a DVD of the film Medusa: Snakes on the Astral Plane with $340 million written on it, a true love heart tattoo, a picture of Coldplay's Chris Martin, a lighted wire sculpture of a bridge, and the McTerrier mask of Duff Goldman, who competed on the show in season 7.
She also said in an episode:
"Sometimes you have to build a bridge to get over it. Hopefully, it will put you in the right state of mind."
She will now be seen competing against California Roll, Macaw, and UFO in the quarter-finals, trying her best to defeat the group winners.
FOX airs fresh episodes of The Masked Singer every Wednesday at 8 pm ET.
