AceShowbiz - "The Masked Singer" celebrated "Billy Joel Night" in the Wednesday, March 20 episode of season 11. Panelist Robin Thicke opened the outing with his rendition of "My Life" before contestants from the Group C hit the stage to perform.
The first singer to perform was Poodle Moth. In her clue package, she said, "For my entire life I was drawn to the flame, but I always felt like the bright lights were never meant for me. I told myself I was never going to be pretty enough or funny enough or talented enough to actually make it. So, I took a step back and helped others achieve their dreams." Visual clues, meanwhile, included street lights, a cowboy hat, a book with an American flag on the cover, and sky lanterns.
Poodle Moth opted to sing "Just the Way You Are". For an additional clue, the men in black hit a baseball over the panelists' table and it said, "Opry." Robin guessed Trisha Yearwood, Rita Ora named Wynonna Judd, while Ken Jeong thought Poodle Moth could be Rita Wilson.
Later, Clock shared her clue package. "I'm delighted being here on Billy Joel night, because let's face it, we're both timeless. Now, like the piano man says, I'm going to sing you a song tonight. So all you other singers better watch out, because you're time's about to be up!" she said. For the visual clues, she put a disco ball, a baby and a spinning globe.
Clock belted out "Piano Man" and for an additional clue, a man in black played "Vienna" on the piano. The panelists' guesses included Anita Baker, Evelyn King and Diana Ross.
Up next was Spaghetti & Meatballs. In his clue package, he said, "Throughout my career I've worn many different hates, searching for a life that's full of flavor. I started out on Wall Street chasing the almighty dollar, but when it started to feel a little bit stale I raced after the dough and studied a whole new industry. Eventually I mastered the secret recipe to success." In the visual clues, there were Italian village, a chef's hat, a bank, a sports car as well as some salt and pepper.
Singing "Only the Good Die Young", Spaghetti & Meatballs showcased his good voice. For an additional clue, the men in black brought out a giant pizza that said, "Show Time." Rita guessed Gordon Ramsay and Jenny McCarthy named Guy Fiery. Meanwhile, Robin went with Stanley Tucci.
The final singer that night was Lizard. "Some people might label me a ladies' man - the bad boy type in Billy Joel songs. But that's not the real me. And despite some of my better known hits, I tend to see people for who they are on the inside. Like when I met the love of my life. She was the definition of an uptown girl, and this downtown daredevil was smitten," he said in his clue package.
He shared that he managed to stop his lover from walking out from him by telling her that she was pregnant, and it turned out she was. "Now my whole world is all about being a good husband and a cool dad," Lizard added. The visual clues, meanwhile, included a "TMS" gossip show that said "Live, Laugh, Lizard," a heart-shaped lollipop and a crab on a cupcake.
For his performance, Lizard chose to sing "Uptown Girl". For an additional clue a little yellow taxi came out with a card with "Billboards" written on it. Ricky Bell, Michael Bivens, Ronnie DeVoe, Ralph Tresvant and Ray J were among the names mentioned for the guesses.
After the panel and studio audience voted for their favorite performances of the night, host Nick Cannon revealed that the two singers sent to the Smackdown were Lizard and Spaghetti & Meatballs. They sang their take on "Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)".
The panel decided to keep Lizard on the show, meaning Spaghetti & Meatballs had to get unmasked. After he took off the mask, it was revealed that he's chef Joe Bastianich.
