And that stuffed rabbit is a “JoJo” pun, too. Her 2006 single “Too Little, Too Late” surpassed the record previously held by Mariah Carey’s “Loverboy” for biggest jump into the Billboard Hot 100’s top three she spent part of her childhood (with her single momager) in New Hampshire she fought her record label, Blackground, for years she competed on America’s Most Talented Kids and she was originally supposed to play Hannah Montana. My guess: This is JoJo, who performed on Oprah at age 8 and is a massive Cher fan. She has also mentioned being raised by a single mother, legal battles that derailed her promising childhood career, and breaking a chart record set by her idol Mariah Carey. I think with Hanson now out of the way, this is the Black Swan’s season to lose.Ĭlues: She’s had some “disappointments in her career,” has connections to Cher and Oprah Winfrey, and recently received a some long-overdue “major recognition.” Past visual clues have included the states of Montana and New Hampshire, a stuffed rabbit, an “I’m late!” sign, and a talent contest. That stage is yours tonight.” All of the judges gave this Swan song a standing ovation. Nicole Scherzinger and Jenny both broke out in goosebumps, and Nicole added, “That tone, those runs, those ad-libs! “You just killed it. This was such a sweet and charming cover of Ed Sheeran’s first-dance reception staple. OK, I want the Black Swan to sing at my white wedding. Perhaps not coincidentally, on the same day as their Masked Singer reveal, Hanson announced their forthcoming seventh studio album, Against the World, which will roll out as seven consecutive monthly singles throughout the year, starting with “Annalie.” In the meantime, I think the identities of the remaining top four celebrity contenders are just as obvious as the Dolls’, but here’s a primer: And to be able to just start with music and focus on singing, and say, ‘Hey, you don't know what's behind this.’” I’m disappointed that the Russian Dolls are no longer standing and won’t be moving on to next week’s top four semifinals, but at least their Masked Singer run proved that there’s more to the Hanson (who’ve actually been in the business for an incredible 29 years) than just “MMMBop.” Said Taylor, “You're always seen as a certain thing. They were arguably Season 5’s most eclectic contestants - one week getting funky-fresh on a Bruno Mars or Jason Derulo banger (the latter of which sounded uncannily like Hanson’s 2020 soul-pop single “Nothing But a Love Song”), the next week channeling Ally and Jackson Maine on “Shallow,” and this week bopping around with Beefeaters in Elton spectacles and feather boas to “I’m Still Standing,” a splashy number that wouldn’t have been out of place at this week’s Brit Awards. I really think the Dolls should have made it to the finale. Hanson were never matchy-matchy “boy band” per se - they wrote their own songs and played instruments - but youngest brother Zac joked, “You know, we have never taken to the stage wearing matching outfits before, but I think this might become a thing, you know?” Quipped middle brother Taylor, “You want more of us in spandex, is that what you're trying to say?” (Well, I’m sure the Fansons wouldn’t mind.) And on Wednesday’s top five episode, after host Nick Cannon struggled to unscrew the domed head off probably the heaviest and most cumbersome costume in Masked Singer history, out hatched Isaac, Taylor, and Zac Hanson, looking as adorable as they did in their TRL heyday. Those instantly identifiable voices hadn’t gone through any Peter Brady-style transformation in the years since, and the trio’s diehard fans - or “Fansons,” as they are fondly known - recognized them straight away, when producers made the massive mistake of leaking one of the Russian Dolls’ performances in early March. The judging panel played dumb and guessed that it might be Sugarland, Boyz II Men, Barenaked Ladies, Savage Garden, or even Devo inside those wide-eyed wooden vessels… but surely Golden Ear-winning judge Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg recognized those beautiful brotherly harmonies from when the doll-faced former teen idols performed acoustic on her MTV variety show in 1997. The Russian Dolls made Masked Singer history this season as the first band to ever compete on the show.
