The Masked Singer season 9 episode 4 aired on Fox on Wednesday, March 8, at 8 pm ET.
In the DC superheroes-themed episode, three all-new singers with undisclosed identities joined the competition and tried their best to impress the judges with their voice. At the end of the first individual battle, Wolf was eliminated, while Squirrel and Gargoyle were able to qualify for the Battle Royale.
Wolf, with white fur and a red cape, sang Break On Through by The Doors. Throughout his performance, he did not move. His hints included a leopard mask, Lady Gaga, and Jay-Z. Judge Ken Jeong was the only one who guessed Wolf's identity incorrectly as Richard Marx. Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, and Nicole Scherzinger immediately recognized Wolf as legendary singer Michael Bolton.
Fans were also pretty sure of his identity and recognized his voice.
Michael sang When a Man Loves a Woman with Seal, which was connected to the mask clue. He also sang Murder My Heart by Lady Gaga and annotated Kanye West and Jay-Z's Never Let Me Down, further linking him to the clues. After being unmasked, Michael Bolton sang How Am I Supposed to Live Without You as his encore performance.
The Masked Singer fans were upset to see such a legendary singer leave the show after just one performance. They were also impressed by Michael Bolton's mask and wanted the character to stay on for longer in the show.
