тАШThe Masked SingerтАЩ: The Crab Gets Cooked & The Seashell Cracks In Super 8 ShowdownтАЩs Big Double Elimination
By
тАЬThe Masked SingerтАЭ┬аreturned Wednesday with a jam-packed two-hour extravaganza, in which the remaining contestants faced off in a Super 8 showdown! After all the songs were sung and guesses were made, fans had to say goodbye to not one, but two costumed celebs.
The Piglet, Robopine, The Seashell, The Yeti, The Russian Doll(s), The Crab, The Chameleon and The Black Swan all delivered some of their best performances to date as the┬аthe┬аshowтАЩs┬аpanel of celebrity тАЬdetectivesтАЭ┬а тАФ Robin Thicke, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong, and Jenny McCarthy and guest panelist Rita Wilson тАФ all did their best to figure out who is under each elaborate costume.
However, with all the talent still in the running, no matter who was going home, it was going to be painful. And the first star to get the axe was The Crab.
After the panelists made their final guesses about The Crab тАФ who joined the competition as a wildcard contestant тАФ he finally unmasked, and revealed himself to be none other than singer┬аBobby Brown!
Brown spoke with ET on Wednesday about his time on the show, and said how exciting it was to be a contestant after having been a тАЬMasked SingerтАЭ┬аfan since the first season.
тАЬIt was fun being a part of the show, it was fun shooting it, and I loved the camaraderie,тАЭ Brown shared. тАЬJust being able to make my kids smile, it served its purpose, in the three times that I did perform.тАЭ
тАЬMe and my kids have been watching the show since day one,тАЭ he shared. тАЬEvery Wednesday, itтАЩs TV time after dinner at the Brown houseтАж [so] when I got the callтАж I was skeptical, but at the same time I was also flattered that they chose to call me, because IтАЩve been such a big fan.тАЭ
Brown delivered a fantastic, energetic number during WednesdayтАЩs show, belting out a wild rendition of Phil CollinsтАЩ тАЬIn the Air TonightтАЭ, making his elimination all the more surprising.
After Crab unmasked, it was time for the nightтАЩs second elimination, and the next star to end up getting the chop was The Seashell! Despite a show-stopping performance of TiffanyтАЩs тАЬI Think WeтАЩre Alone NowтАЭ that several panelists said was The SeashellтАЩs best number to date, she still ended up getting booted.
After the panel once again made their final guesses, The Seashell removed her beautifully ornate mask and revealed herself as actress and TV personality┬аTamera Mowry, who definitely proved that sheтАЩs┬аa seriously talented songstress as well.
Mowry also spoke with ET on Wednesday, and explained how getting to sing for people again тАФ for the first time in a long time тАФ has reignited her passion for music and performing live.
тАЬI got to relive a dream of mine, and I donтАЩt want to stop!тАЭ said Mowry, who explained that, when she first got cast in her iconic тАЩ90s sitcom тАЬSister, SisterтАЭ, she was considering her future career path, and choice acting over singing, and has long wondered about the other path she could have taken.
тАЬIтАЩm addicted to the mic now,тАЭ she added with a laugh.
She also reflected┬аon her song choice, and her connection to the Tiffany hit that she slayed on WednesdayтАЩs episode.
тАЬI wanted to pay homage to my childhood, when I actually┬аgot that entertaining bug,тАЭ Mowry shared. тАЬMy sister [Tia Mowry] and I, we used to sing that song together, and we put a little dance together with our babysitterтАж and we put together a routine to that song. So I had fun. It was awesome.тАЭ
