(Warning: This post contains major spoilers from Wednesday\u2019s episode of \u201cThe Masked Singer.\u201d)<\/em><\/p>\n By the end of tonight\u2019s episode of \u201cThe Masked Singer,\u201d almost every panelist \u2014 with the exception of the ever-stubborn Ken Jeong \u2014 had correctly guessed the identity of The Mouse contestant as legendary singer Dionne Warwick before she was revealed and eliminated.<\/p>\n Heck, even guest judge Gabriel Iglesias knew that the \u201cI Say a Little Prayer\u201d songstress was the one hiding inside the super cute rodent costume due to her \u201cundeniable voice,\u201d as Nicole Scherzinger put it.<\/p>\n Yeah, Warwick told TheWrap it was pretty much impossible to conceal her signature tone \u2014 so she didn\u2019t even try.<\/p>\n Also Read:<\/strong> ‘The Masked Singer’ Unmasks Another Celebrity Contestant: And the Mouse Is… (Video)<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no way to disguise my voice, unfortunately \u2014 or fortunately,\u201d she said, laughing.<\/p>\n If she could do it over again, the Grammy winner says she\u2019d have attempted to hide it a bit, but truly doesn\u2019t know what she\u2019d have done differently to pull that off.<\/p>\n \u201cThe only thing would be to try to disguise my vocals, but there is no way in the world I could ever think of disguising them,\u201d Warwick said. \u201cI don\u2019t know how to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n Warwick made it to Wednesday\u2019s Group B playoffs but lost to Banana, Taco, Kitty and Frog \u2014 meaning she only got through that lineup\u2019s Round 1.<\/p>\n Also Read:<\/strong> ‘The Masked Singer’ Edges Mike Bloomberg and NBC’s Dem Debate in Early Demo Ratings<\/p>\n But she\u2019s hardly the first professional singer to be eliminated this season, as Lil Wayne and Chaka Khan \u2014 also Grammy Award winners \u2014 were both booted from Group A. And let\u2019s not forget that Season 2 saw the early dismissals of Seal and Patti LaBelle.<\/p>\n When we asked Warwick why she thinks acclaimed singers keep dropping like flies, she told us she isn\u2019t really sure. But she does think it makes sense you can identify them so easily before they\u2019ve been unmasked.<\/p>\n \u201cI guess, you know, it would be that they created an aura around who we are, and our voices are our identity,\u201d she said. \u201cSo it\u2019s kind of hard not to know who we are when people are accustomed to hearing you.\u201d<\/p>\n Also Read:<\/strong> ‘The Masked Singer’: Why the Elephant Turned Down the Taco Costume<\/p>\n OK, but what\u2019s her opinion on those incorrect guesses, like Jeong\u2019s persistent theory that she was Tina Turner?<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to be thought of among that group of wonderful voices. It\u2019s quite a compliment,\u201d Warwick said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Masked Singer\u201d airs Wednesdays at 8\/7c on Fox.<\/em><\/p>\n Read original story \u2018The Masked Singer’: Mouse Tells Us Why She Didn\u2019t Even Attempt to Disguise Her Voice At TheWrap<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
