The Masked Singer is set to premiere tonight, and as we grab our detective gear and put our thinking caps on, we thought we’d take a look at all the clues we’ve been given so far on each of the characters.
There are some creepy costumes this year on the hit show, but the question is, who is behind the mask?
The Masked Singer certainly doesn’t make it easy, leaving us more bewildered after each new clue, but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to try our hardest to guess.
There have been some rumoured celebs set to feature on the show, but of course, nothing has officially been revealed.
This year, Osher Gunsberg will be returning to host the show along with judges Dannii Minogue, Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, Urzila Carlson and Dave Hughes.
Featuring cheesy pop hits that we’ve known to love, and dance moves that will have you on your feet, the latest season of The Masked Singer should not be missed
So, without further ado, let’s take a look at all the clues we’ve been given so far.
Mullet
Clues: “I’m a mullet of all trades.”
“I’m at home in the water or on land.”
“I’m not really into strict routines. I prefer to improvise. I know it’s not the way to make a big hit but beggars can’t be choosers. I’ve never really been the boss but I have been known to take your breath away. That’s official.”
“I’m the Mullet and I reckon I’ve got this singing thing nailed.”
“I’m just your average mullet, but I’m okay if you’re okay. As someone once told me, if you like it you better put a ring on it. Sometimes you have your eye on something shiny….but it’s not as good as you hope. No matter how far you travel, you can’t leave the real you behind. I’m a jack-of-all-trades. I’ve even taken on the Chinese! Not as a comedian, but you could call me something close.”
“I might be a mullet but don’t underestimate me. My intelligence isn’t artificial….and way better than 20! As a fish, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I’m the Mullet, and I’m beside myself with excitement!”
Song: Macho Man by The Village People
Panel’s Question: Are you a swimmer?
Answer: I don’t need to get my hair wet anymore.
Guesses: Russell Crowe, Ryan Gallagher, Mark Wahlberg, Mick Fanning, David Wenham, Eric Bana, Conor McGregor, Ronny Chieng
Duster
Clues: “I’m Duster and I’m always busy, but whether you like me is a matter of personal taste.”
“Why am I a duster? Because I’m never happier than when I’m busy. Do I try to do too much? Probably. That’s because everything has to look just right. Visuals are very important in my game, I’m a self-made Duster. No one gave me a break.”
“At 17 my future was set and fame came with it. The most well-rounded man I know was starry-eyed about what I do. I knew I would be truly ready for public attention if I just stayed in my lane. I’m always on the ball, still, I’ve had my share of ups and downs. But I know victory is always there!”
“Will I win The Masked Singer? I tell the other singers: eat my dust!”
Song: Shake Your Tail lyrics by Ray Charles

Pavlova
Clues: “I’m just as sweet as I look, all the way to my sugary soul.”
“I’m the pavlova. Crusty on the outside but tender inside. I love the kitchen, it’s my happy place. Croissants, eclairs, gateau, vol au vents! If I can make baking a competitive sport I would. Mon Dieu!”
“My dream came to me when I was young. I had a real talent and I haven’t stopped since. How do I keep my gorgeous pavlova figure? Don’t ask. What I’ll say is that when push comes to shove, I manage. I spent a lot of my childhood down south in the hills. I’m Pavlova and tonight’s going to be sweet!”
“Hi everyone! I’m Pavlova and isn’t this fun? I don’t believe in discrimination. Every sweet matters. Not just sweets. I also love gumnuts, yummy. Have I been on Broadway? Almost but not quite. But I’ve had my ups and downs. Who cares? I’m happy with who and where I am. A great pavlova is gonna take time. Just accept it. You don’t want to peak too soon.”
“I’m Pavlova and all I want is my just desserts.”
Song: Watermelon Sugar by Harry Styles, Cover Me In Sunshine by P!nk and Willow Sage Hart

Guesses: Melissa George, Isla Fisher, Natalie Portman, Lorde, Katherine Langford, Lorde, P!nk, Samantha Jadę,
Baby
Clues: “I never want to grow up so I can keep doing what a baby does.”
“I’m Baby and I don’t ever want to grow up! I love flowers, I’ve been around them all my life. I’m a baby, so I’m short but not short for anything in particular! Aren’t these animals perfect? Well, I don’t like perfection, it makes me go waa! waa! Am I the type to spit the dummy? I am not! That’s a nasty web you weave when you do that, and watch out for the spider’s bite.”
“I’ve been front and centre and I’ve been on the wings. Front and centre is better. I’m Baby and I’m going to get my way tonight.”
“Do I believe I can win The Masked Singer? Of course I do! I’ve crystallised it in my beliefs. And my beliefs are broad. I’m wise beyond my years. There’s nothing school could teach me. And yet the government comes seeking my advice.”
“I’m a baby, so I’m new. A lot of people appreciate that about me. And when I’m big, there’ll be other new babies who need someone.”
“One day, I will have an all-consuming childhood dream. The only thing I want. And it will never happen. I’ll be known for something else. I’m Baby – and I’m gonna catch the other Masked Singers napping!”
Song: Bad to the Bone Lyrics by George Thorogood & the Destroyers, Me Too by Meghan Trainor

Vampire
Clues: “I’m not of this world or the other but you will all be entranced by my unexpected power.”
“I am Vampire and I am eternal. I do not fear the daylight, I embraced it and it embraced me. It fed me when I most needed it. I am the child of Vampires. Who I am runs through my blood, it always has.”
“But vampires age slowly. As a Vampire, I have unexpected power. I don’t wish to be unkind but do not underestimate me. Werewolves fear gold. Vampires do not. We revel in it. The heavier the better.”
“I am Vampire and I am forever!”
“I am Vampire, a creature others should fear. I am a modern Vampire. The old church holds no fear for me. But that does not make me a hero. Unlike most vampires, I glimpsed my future in the Daylight. I knew there would be difficulties but I should fear nothing. Vampires do not concern ourselves with the stupid things.”
“The nations of the earth have cheered me on. Tears have flowed too. I have not slept since my teenage years. My life is like a waking dream.”
“I am Vampire and no Masked Singer can stand against me!”
Song: Gangsta’s Paradise by Coolio, Sucker by The Jonas Brothers

Piñata
Clues: “I’m Piñata and I’m a glorious thoroughbred steed who loves celebrations.”
“I’m the Piñata and this time I’m taking a big stick to the opposition. I’ve moved many, many times chasing my dreams luckily I’m comfortable with both home and away. Piñatas don’t have claws usually. I’ve learned to be aggressive, other times I’m soft and cuddly. When I started my career I had the luck of the Irish and my luck never really left me, I bet my name on it!”
“Although I did back the wrong group in Melbourne. My brethren have supported me all the way, to be sure, to be sure. You’d never guess I was a scholar. Looks can be deceiving, right? You haven’t seen everything piñata has to offer, I’ve got plenty of surprises inside!”
Song: She Bangs by Ricky Martin
Question: Were you born in the UK?
Answer: Let me say this much, Australia has become my home away from home.
Guesses: Beau Ryan, Jimeoin, Dr Chris Brown, Chris Hemsworth
Lightning
Clues: “This lightning might shock you but be warned, I never strike the same place twice.”
“I am Lightning and you never know where I’ll strike next. Lightning affects the airwaves and my interference got noticed young. I know how to make you notice me. I made other waves when I was young too! Solid stakes, absolutely! But I left the gold behind. Am I driven? More self-directed. Following the path of least resistance, going with the flow, not too many wrong turns. Although one crash did hurt.”
“I’ve been richer and I’ve been poor, nine months a year without a home. Don’t underestimate a good education!”
“Will I win The Masked Singer? Well, Lightning will always have a crack!”
“I am Lightning – high voltage all the time! Do water and electricity mix? Not usually. But I’m flexible in what I do. After all, you’re not 21 forever. Although I ran a good race in Rio I got tired of staying in my own lane. No more. Strike while the lightning is hot. Lightning has a voice – and it has always been heard. Many millions have heard me speak. And I speak for those who have no words.”
“Lightning only goes in one direction. And that made all the difference. I’ve already survived one round of The Masked Singer. Tonight, Lightning strikes twice.”
Song: Brave by Sara Bareilles

Answer: Travel hasn’t always been my choice but it led to my fame.
Guesses: Bindi Irwin, Em Rusciano, Molly Taylor, Sam Kerr, Lucy Lawless, Montaigne, Bronte Campbell, Alessia Cara
Volcano
Clues: “I’m a hottie and you don’t want to be around when this volcano starts smoking!”
“I am the volcano and you never know when I’ll blow my top. Volcanos are here for a long time, not a good time. I know I have some dragon in my history and that’s not unusual. I don’t want to get emotional but I remember when Hollywood called, cultural differences were very big.”
“But I’m someone who believes in grabbing life by the you-know-what. Whatever you think of me, respect my three records although you probably only know about one. Back when I was having the time of my life.”
“Us volcanos believe in fighting fire with fire. Will I blow my top again? You can set your watch by it.”
Song: I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) by The Proclaimers

Guesses: Sacha Baron Cohen, Christian Bale, Anthony Mundine, Billy Bob Thornton
Kebab
Clues: “Everybody loves a late night kebab but this kebab might be a bit saucy for the sensitive types.”
“Yeah I’m the Kebab and I reckon I got the lot. I never stop. I’m at it all day every day, there’s nothing else I ever wanted to be. I’m like the inner-city; quiet at times but a bit of hot sauce, I go off. A real wild one!”
“I’ll let you in on a little secret. I get kissed by strangers! It’s the tender meat that does the trick. It’s great being the kebab and working for yourself. If you’re not the type who needs other people, hey man be cool, move on bro! I’m the Kebab and I can be spectacular!”
“I’m the Kebab and I’m totally satisfying! We kebabs have a long and proud history stretching all the way back to William the Conqueror. But me? I’m Australian as. A real beach baby. Catch you later!”
“Do you know why kebab vans have wheels? Because we’re always on the move. But we keep coming back to the best spot. Do you remember the first time you had a Kebab? Unforgettable, right? Is the first time always the best?”
“I am the Kebab – and I’m all saucy tonight!”
Song: Hot Stuff by Donna Summer
Question: Are you male or female?
Answer: Here’s what I can say about that: mostly I’m one but I have been known to be the other.
Guesses: Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Jack Vidgen, Courtney Act, Kylie Minogue, RuPaul Charles, Hugh Sheridan
Professor
Clues: “I want to experiment and push the boundaries of our reality.”
“I’m the Professor and I want to make the world a better place. Am I opinionated? The answer must be yes but that’s not news. Knowledge is very important to me, even if it’s not the type you find at university. Our mother universe is huge, the possibilities for love are just as big as long as we have some faith.”
“I’m a Scientist. I don’t believe in conspiracy theories. I’m always searching for the answer for the right cues. I like to think outside the square, it makes me an outsider but that’s okay. I like to break stereotypes and go where others don’t. I am Professor, I’m going to win The Masked Singer.”
Song: Dumb Things by Paul Kelly
Panel’s Question: Are you single or have you found love on The Bachelor or love in Paradise?

Guesses: Brain Cox, Matt Agnew, Bobby Cannavale, Waleed Aly
Dolly
Clues: “Pull this dolly’s string and I’ll talk but I’m going to be the dolly I want to be
“Hello, I’m Dolly and I’m quite the young lady but underneath is a different story. Just because I am a dolly doesn’t mean I’m a toy. I’ve always aimed high, good enough is never good enough. Things have to be just so.”
“I don’t mind a bit of back and forth. In fact, I’m rather famous for it. Everyone expects Dolly to be a good girl. Well, I’m the type of Dolly I want to be. My dreams aren’t what they used to be. I’ve been through a change and I’m definitely off the leash. People think Dollys should be seen and not heard. Well, not this Dolly.”
“I’m Dolly – and there’s more to me than you think. I’m a Dolly…not a Dolly bird. After missing my dream in Sydney, 2004 was when I made my mark. Am I the Queen? Yes. But also the Joker. Was it my dream to be a Dolly? No, it wasn’t. But I’ve made a career of being in the right place at the right time.”
“The heart is unpredictable. It has its needs. But remember: tomorrow is a brand new day. I’m Dolly and let me warn you: I’m nobody’s plaything!”

Atlantis
Clues: “I am queen of the ocean and my mysterious siren call captivates the entire world.”
“I am the great Atlantis and I am the queen of all I see. I am a goddess of water, I am fluid taking many shapes and forms but I have been punished just for being who I am and I have been rewarded for the same reason. I am a creature of the sea, the ocean was my original home. The land holds mystery and disappointment for me.”
“My world is colourful, but you wouldn’t know it. It’s not just black and white. Fashions come and go but words can last forever. Life is like that. I heard the siren of Hollywood many times, but Washington only once. It was one of life’s happy accidents. I am Atlantis and I shall be your queen.”
“I am Atlantis – deep, mysterious and powerful. Am I Chinese? It would be easy to have that belief. But I wasn’t there long. The west was where my ambition led me. Like the waves, my path has not been straight. But like water, nothing can hold me back for long.”
“Words have been my life but also my greatest danger. You don’t like what I have to say? Many others do. Don’t confuse me for a shop girl. Or Marilyn either. Perhaps I am a do-gooder? I would be happy with that.”
“I am Atlantis – and no one can resist a force of nature.”
Song: Pleasure And Pain by Divinyls, Only Love Can Hurt Like This by Paloma Faith
