Soundtrack of My Life Night clues:
Time Capsule Clue: Tree trunk
Voiceover Clue: "I am all atwitter to be here in the Group A finals. And I know my family is rooting for me in the wings. Tonight, I chose a song for them. See, I come from a long line of strong chicks in my family tree. And all of us lived under one roof. Talk about a lot of perfume, pantyhose and pink! My great grandmother introduced me to jazz and Ray Charles and passed on her love for music. Girl, did we put those records on! Team vinyl over here. My maternal grandmother gave me the courage to go after my dreams. And I so wish she lived to see them realized. And my other grandmother instilled in me the greatest love of all, a love for the Masked Singer, which we always watch together. It’s on eof the reasons I’m here/ My performance tonight is a tribute to all of the women that gave parts of themselves to me so I could fly. So hang with me as I put one of my favorite records on. I see you, great grandma."
Footloose Night clues:
Clue: Kevin Bacon's shoes from Footloose. "Another bird from The Masked Singer family shares their stylish obsession with shoes with me."
Voiceover Clue: "Just like in Footloose, I know a thing or two about fighting for what you believe in. As a young chick, while most kids were playing in treehouses, I was planting roots in Hollywood. Growing up in front of the world was awkward. From learning to wear heels to flirting with boys, God forbid uttering a cuss word. Everybody was all up in my business treating me like I was their child. It’s one thing when your mom tells you what to do. And another thing when everyone around you is chirping in. I always stayed headstrong, dancing to the growing pains of my own pace. And in turn, I’ve got young birdies following in my footsteps who see me as their hero. But my advice? You can be your own hero too. And tonight, I’m singing a song that’s always helped me celebrate me. I hope it will be a knockout."
Who Could It Be Now Night clues:
Masked Ambassador: Jenifer Lewis
Ambassador Voiceover: "You’ll remember, I kicked up a storm on Season 11. And now, I have top secret information on someone I have known since her start. Woodpecker! She’s been called a mogul. A sheik CEO. And she even became friends with Beyonce! This bird is a baddie."
"I believe in you 100 percent. Make Auntie Jen proud!"
Woodpecker Voiceover: "OK, that’s a lot to live up to. I try not to think about that. I just point out that the only doors that open are the ones you knock on. So, I knock on them all. And now I’m striving to be the youngest billionaire. I want to prove that I can do anything. That’s why I’m here, the singing, the dancing. Bring it on!"
