Who Is The Flamingo on ‘The Masked Singer’?

Another night, another elimination on The Masked Singer. But it wasn’t the revelation of Thingamajig and The Leopard’s true identities that stole the night. Who is The Flamingo, how are they connected to Clueless, and were they baptized in Israel?

The Masked Singer returned this week with a surprise Tuesday night episode. It was a pretty exciting night. But The Flamingo managed to steal it with yet another fabulous performance. Wondering who The Flamingo is? We’ve got you covered.

Who Is The Flamingo? Everything We Know About The Flamingo on The Masked Singer

When we first saw The Flamingo they told us they’d give us tips and tricks from everything from beauty to fashion. That made some fans think that this bird may be a fashion blogger. They also teased that they came to Hollywood and were discovered by a “wizard.” But The Flamingo opened up its wings a bit more this week.

Though The Flamingo has been fearless on this show, this is something new for them. “Years ago I started hating the sound of my own voice and being on stage became one of my biggest fears,” The Flamingo revealed. This bird danced, sang, and acted their way to the top, meaning that whoever this celeb is, they’re a triple threat. But The Flamingo’s biggest hint was their physical clue.

This celebrity is the winner of an NAACP Award. “I was tickled pink when I received this award,” The Flamingo teased. That certainly narrows things down, but not by much. There have been a lot of NAACP winners in the ceremony’s 50 year history. Here’s where you can find lists of all the winners to date.

This bird also has a connection to some classic sitcoms and rom-coms. The Flamingo’s video clue in Week 10 contained references to A Different World, Sister, Sister, and Clueless. And they have a connection to one of the judges. “I shared some couch time with one of you in 2013,” The Flamingo teased. Episode 11 gave us even more hints. The Flamingo used to sing in their church choir and they were baptized in Israel. On top of that there was a cheetah print piece of luggage that looked very telling.

Who Is The Flamingo? Here’s Who the Judges Think The Flamingo Is on The Masked Singer

Robin Thicke and guest judge Anthony Anderson were in agreement. They’re certain The Flamingo is American Idol Season 3 winner Fantasia Barrino. That guess aligns with the “wizard” discovering her in Hollywood clue. Also Barrino has won three NAACP awards so far.

Jenny McCarthy was a bit more skeptical and stuck to her original hunch: Adrienne Bailon. A former member of the girl groups 3LW and The Cheetah Girls, Bailon is a better fit for The Flamingo’s many guesses about being a lifestyle guru. She’s also won two NAACP Awards to date.

The only wildcard guess has come from Ken Jeong, who jokingly guessed the singer Pink. That vocal prowess matches, but we think that’s the only thing these two have in common. Hilary Duff’s name has also been mentioned, but in Week 10 most of the judges are convinced this bird is either Fantasia or Adrienne Bailon.

So Who Is The Flamingo on The Masked Singer? The Flamingo Might Be…

With all due respect, Robin and Anthony, we’re with Jenny on this one. The Flamingo is almost certainly Adrienne Bailon. She’s the only guess who has the talent, awards prestige, and the Disney Channel cred to match The Flamingo’s assortment of clues. Sure, The Cheetah Girls and That’s So Raven is no Clueless, but there’s a very good chance the Flamingo gave us those clues to cover their tail feathers.

The singer, actor, and talk show host has revealed that she’s self conscious about performing and her voice. Plus you can’t count out all of those beauty tip clues. Those fit for someone who’s the host of a daytime talk show, like The Real.

New episodes of The Masked Singer premiere on Fox Wednesdays at 8/7c.
