It's '80s Night on The Masked Singer US season 9, and fans are buzzing about Doll's performance. Doll's deep voice and quick wit made everyone wonder if a certain '80s rocker was under the mask.
Doll made their debut with two other new masks — Moose and Scorpio. In the end, Doll ended up moving on to next week's competition.
So who is Doll? Let's look at the clues to see if we can figure out who is Doll on The Masked Singer.
Who is Doll on The Masked Singer? Song picks

Who is Doll on The Masked Singer? Show clues
In a preview clip, Doll can be seen standing up to a stern looking man who tried to get them to be quiet. This could be a reference to the Twister Sister song "We're Not Gonna Take It" and to Dee Snider's famous appearance before Congress back in the day to support rock music.
Celebrity Clue, courtesy of Erik Estrada: "Ghostwriter." Said Doll, "While my movie career is scary, it's my work with a multi-Grammy winning artist that blows me away."
Voiceover Clue: "Hi, I’m Doll. I heard it was 80s night, which makes me feel good. Right at home. Growing up, life was surreal. Maybe a little rocky. I was a weirdo. And when it came to my voice, forget about it. No one wanted to hear it. Until one day, I found other lost misfit dolls, and we started our own crew. My toy troupe and I were having such a good time. But the man came in, and said we was too strange. And tried to knock us out. But they didn’t know who they was dealing with. So I marched step by step into that playground, and schooled them all. So this one’s for all you unforgettable, freaky deaky dolls who have ever been told you’re expendable. Would you love me? I love me!"

Who is Doll on The Masked Singer? Costume clues
Doll is a real, well, doll. They're tall and dressed in a flashy purple dress with stars on it, and their look is capped off with a purple hat with long feathers sticking out. Nothing says '80s glam rock like a glittery dress.
Doll has seen some action in their lifetime. They've got quite a few stitches keeping them together, with a red button eye to replace an eye that they lost at some point in their life. Their mouth is also stitched together, which could be a clue that Doll won't be silenced.
Who is Doll on The Masked Singer? Guesses
Fans on social media are fairly certain that Doll is none other than Dee Snider, legendary musician and lead singer of '80s hair band Twisted Sister. Are they right? Only time will tell.
As for the panelists, they guessed rockers, too: Gene Simmons, Vince Lee, Tommy Lee, Donnie Wahlberg and Sebastian Bach. (But we're still thinking it's Dee Snider)
The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on Fox.
