It’s okay, honestly.
It was such a fun, incredible experience that I’ll never forget.

Of course there was disappointment on the initial reveal day.
you could smell the end.
Were you a fan of the show before signing on?
I watched hisSam Smith performancebecause that went viral, and he’s got such a beautiful voice.
So that’s the only reason I watched the show.
How much input did you have over your clues?
Well, they interview you every single week.
And she was my biology teacher.
And those are the kind of things that they would do.
But I generally didn’t get to see any of the clues until they do the live broadcast.
So did any of the clues surprise you?
And actually, I couldn’t figure out a couple of them.
What was your reaction when the judges finally guessed your identity correctly?
But then I realized that’s going to be a giveaway.
I’ve just got to do my normal reaction.
So I think I went into like a surfboard thing or like a surf’s up thing.
Would you do a collaboration with him in the future?
I mean, for sure.
I think he knows that I’m interested in working with him in any capacity.
And I’m a huge fan of his and I have been since before he was a superstar.
I’ve always loved his music, even in the infancy of his career.
And, you know, I think at some point it would be great to collab on something.
I feel like the two of us together could do something really special.
So maybe down the line.
I have plans to reach out to him eventually.
I’d love to do a song or an album.
That’d be so fun.
Did you have any guesses about who the other contestants were?
There were plenty of people I had no idea who they were.
I was really thrown by Banana [Bret Michaels], I didn’t know who that was.
What advice would you give to future contestants onThe Masked Singer?
I would say start your breathing exercises and be in your tip-top physical shape because those costumes are heavy.
Yeah, could you see through yours?
I know some contestants have trouble with that.
It was darker than usual.
It looked like what I imagined it looks like if you were like, a fly or a bumblebee.
You know what I mean?
It just had that kind of shape inside of the mouth.
It was really the shell and the jacket that was troubling because it was so precarious.
Yeah, I mean, never say never, never say never to anything.
Crazier things have happened.
Right now the music is kind of in the front seat of everything.
The new single came out, which is really exciting.
And then I’m doing another show for Fox airing tomorrow calledCelebrity Watch Party.
So maybe something in the comedy world?
I don’t know.
