Recap of The Masked Singer Season 12, Episode 6: An Unforgettable 60s Night

In the latest episode of The Masked Singer, which aired on November 6, the spotlight shone brightly on Group B, who faced off in a vibrant 60s-themed competition. Contestants Bluebell, Goo, and Wasp vied for a coveted spot in the next round. Ultimately, Bluebell was the first to be eliminated and revealed to be the acclaimed Australian singer, Natalie Imbruglia. Despite being at risk of elimination, Goo was saved at the last moment by Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, who utilized the “Ding Dong Keep It On”button.

Bluebell’s Sudden Elimination and Shocking Reveal

Bluebell delivered a heartfelt rendition of “Do You Love Me”by The Contours, yet her impressive performance failed to lead the judges to correctly identify her. The unexpected revelation of Imbruglia left both panelists and the audience astounded, prompting reactions across social media. Several fans expressed disbelief, sharing their thoughts on the clues related to her true identity.

“Wow, Natalie Imbruglia? I never would’ve guessed,”an X user wrote.

“I LOOOOOVE Natalie Imbruglia and never would have guessed it was her!!!”wrote another user.

“Never heard of that Natalie woman! Or don’t think I have!”a third user added.

Panelists’ Missed Guesses

Many fans pointed out that Natalie Imbruglia had previously appeared on The Masked Singer UK series 3, questioning how the panelists failed to recognize her once again.

“I can’t believe they FAILED to guess NATALIE FLIPPIN IMBRUGLIA, @RitaOra should have guessed her because she was on #TheMaskedSinger UK Series 3! Now that’s three wrong in a row…,”a fan commented.

“@RitaOra, NATALIE IMBRUGLIA was on your UK Series 3! Why didn’t you guess her, DAMN IT?!”wrote another.

Performance Highlights from Episode 6

During the 60s Night, the performances were both nostalgic and powerful. Goo kicked things off with a rendition of “House of the Rising Sun”by The Animals, followed by Bluebell’s emotional performance that tied into her journey with writer’s block and motherhood:

“I was at the top of my field, but when things stopped going my way, I was left wondering, ‘Does anyone still love me?’”

In response to Bluebell’s soulful performance, panelists made their guesses: Ken Jeong speculated she was Rose Byrne, Rita Ora leaned towards Kylie Minogue, and Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg proposed Naomi Watts as her pick. After Bluebell’s exit, Wasp took to the stage, performing “Ain’t No Way”by Aretha Franklin.

The Audience’s Choice and Next Week’s Preview

Following the performances, the studio audience cast their votes, leading to Bluebell’s elimination and unveiling her as Natalie Imbruglia. Goo and Wasp then collaborated on “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,”with Wasp emerging victorious in the battle. Notably, Jenny’s strategic use of the “Ding Dong Keep It On”button meant Goo advanced to the quarterfinals, setting the stage for two upcoming eliminations in next week’s Group C finals.

Stay tuned for new episodes of The Masked Singer Season 12, airing every Wednesday at 8 PM ET on FOX.
