The 2020 election has officially been called for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, which means we can all get back to watching something besides Steve Kornacki hugging a giant map on
MSNBC. Did you know that guy slept more than 15 hours on Saturday when he got home from being at work all week? Never has a nap been more deserved.
Anyway, like I said, we can return to watching the nonsense that soothes and distracts us. Number one on that list, for me at least, is The Masked Singer. Well, actually, it's The Bachelorette, but that was last night.
Tonight, we can focus on Group A, who will be performing for the third time this season. This means Popcorn, Sun, and Snow Owls will take the stage. Both Giraffe and Dragon have been unmasked and are no longer on the show; week one, we found out that Busta Rhymes was Dragon, and week three, the Giraffe turned out to be Brian Austin Green. Those reveals from Group A join Mickey Rourke, Wendy Williams, Mark Sanchez, and Bob Sagat as the performers who've already left the show.
Group A is dwindling, and the remaining contestants have definitely piqued the panelists' interest. So far, the theories for Sun include Demi Lovato, Carrie Underwood, Mandy Moore, Madonna, Kristen Bell, or Idina Menzel. But Popcorn, the only other solo singer left in the group (Snow Owls are a duo), has also made people very curious.
Who do we think this person is? Check out the clues package, then scroll down for fans' guesses so far.
Cyndi Lauper
When my partner first watched this show, they immediately guessed that Popcorn is Lauper. Other fans seem to agree: This person definitely sounds like the "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" singer.

Is popcorn Cyndi Lauper. The clues seem to fit and the voice/accent could hardly be anyone else. The rainbow (True Colors), 80 star, Venus in Chains, etc.
I heard five seconds of her singing and I could tell popcorn is Cyndi Lauper. Tina Turner? Come on, y'all.
