All clues for the remaining masks

Macaw

The Masked Singer season 9’s Macaw has been singing from a young age. His clue package began with him stating that the mask is everything they are now—flashy, competent, and singing country songs. He added that his father had an influence on his career early on and that although he has been performing since a young age, it wasn’t his passion to begin with.

He added:

"My dad would bribe me with quesadillas to perform at our local Mexican restaurant. And, eventually, I spread my wings on bigger stages."

He further addressed his struggles with anxiety; this clue came with two spinning red arrows, a cartoon rainstorm, and two yellow animated dolphins that jumped out of water.

He further added that what started as a way to make their parents happy turned into something that filled them with joy. His clue was accompanied by the letters La La La La,” as The Masked Singer contestant stated that this past year, they decided to be brave in their personal and professional lives. The final clue for Macaw was a silver medal, and they explained that they didn’t strike gold until after they left the nest.

Medusa

Medusa's initial clue package revealed that she grew up away from the spotlight and that she is a dancer who never blended in. The clue was accompanied by Greek statues. She added that she realized early on that she was born to stand out and did her own thing, ignoring people’s expectations of her “to conform.”

She added that she embraced her oddities, “snakes and all”. She added that it has taken her from the Super Bowl to this stage and that she’s been there before. Her other hints include a balance scale, a large knight and bishop from chess, a true love heart tattoo, Buckingham Palace, and planets and asteroids. The Masked Singer season 9 contestant’s “Swag Bag clue” was a DVD of Medusa: Snakes on the Astral Plane, a wire sculpture of a bridge, and tarot cards.

She added:

"I’ve kind of always felt like an underdog. This whole experience brings me back to the early days of my career, where I had to constantly prove myself to people that I was worthy of their time and energy."
