*Warning: Spoilers for Episode 2*

Back again, this time looking a brand new episode of your favorite, wonky show, The Masked Singer. This episode featured 2 new artists, as well as our winner from last time, Medusa. With ABBA Night just within our reach, let´s take a look.

We start off strong with our winner, here to defend her title, the Medusa. Medusa started us off well, with the hit classic of the 80´s and probably ABBA´s most known song, ¨Dancing Queen.¨ An extra clue was given at the end of Medusa´s performance, that being a picture of Coldplay´s frontman, Chris Martin. Guesses included Apple Martin and Dakota Johnson, Chris´ daughter and girlfriend.

Our next contestant in her beautiful white dress, the Night Owl. With a very slow and quite soulful rendition of  ¨Fernando.¨ In Night Owl´s clues, she claimed to have topped charts and broken records. The clues also contained hints to being a pop artist, the ¨pop princess OG.¨ Guesses from the judges contained Paula Abdul, Kylie Minogue, and Debbie Gibson.

Our final artist is the Rock Lobster. Rock Lobster left quite the impression, with ¨SOS.¨ It was quite obvious Rock Lobster was not a singer, but it seemed he was having fun and had a heart full of energy. Running around the stage, Rock Lobster was quite breathless after his performance. Clues included a judges gavel. The judges guesses included comedian Howie Mandel, comedian Martin Short, and daredevil Steve-O.

Our first character eliminated, quite obviously was the Rock Lobster. Our judges guesses remained the same as he prepared to take off his mask. ¨Take it off!¨ shouted the audience and judges. As Rock Lobster did so, comedian Howie Mandel came out from under the mask.

We move on to the battle round now, with Medusa competing and defending her title against the Night Owl. With the ABBA hit, ¨The Winner Takes It All,¨ they began. It was quite an even battle of two very different voices. Medusa is interested in belting out the notes, while Night Owl is much more gentle. The winner of the battle, by a small margin, was the Medusa, bringing her a second win.

After the commercial break we came back to hear the guesses and finally figure out who this fabulous flock of a bird was. With Robin changing his guess to 80´s pop star Debbie Gibson, she now had 2 votes. As the audience voiced for the Night Owl to take it off, we found that the Night Owl was indeed, Debbie Gibson.

Stay tuned for Medusa´s last round! Will she continue to the finale?
