'The Masked Singer' Season 3 returned on Wednesday night for an all-new episode. This week Sharon Osbourne, (mother of last season's Lady Bug-Kelly Osbourne) appeared as a guest judge and wowed the panelists and audience with her impressive guessing skills and humor. 

Last week the series aired with its sing-along episode where fans and viewers could sing-along like karaoke night to previous performances by the masked celebrities. In the previous episode, we said goodbye to the Kangaroo, who revealed to be Jordyn Woods. 

Back again on April 22, the Kitty, the Rhino, the Banana and the Frog battled it out against each other vying for the chance to advance to the Top 6. Sadly it was the Banana's time to head home and he was none other than Bret Michaels. 

While the judges over the past weeks have got nowhere close to predicting that it was Bret under the mask, it didn't take Sharon more than a minute into him singing to predict. Sharon and Bret have been good friends for many years, so much so, her confidence got the other judges except Ken Jeong to go along with her prediction that it is Bret under the Banana's mask. 

After an epic performance of 'Knockin' On Heaven's Door' Bret was unmasked since he lost in the smackdown against Kitty. Sharon identified him because of his voice, moves and 30 years of friendship. 

Apart from that Sharon was an amazing guest judge even when it came to her humor. She was also impressed with the Frog's dance moves. Watching her appear as a guest judge this week, fans said she needs to be permanent. 

"Can Sharon Osbourne please be a full-time judge? One time hearing the singers she nails it we need her!! #TheMaskedSinger," a fan shared. Adding to that another said, "Petition to make Sharon Osborne a permanent judge on #TheMaskedSinger." 

"Sharon needs to be a judge every week cause she knew it was bret the second he started singing #TheMaskedSinge," a fan wrote while another said, "K no more guest judges , just make Sharon a 4th judge #TheMaskedSinger." 

"I want Sharon Osborne as a permanent #TheMaskedSinger judge!" a fan shared. Another added, "Can T Pain and Sharon Osborne co-guest judge an episode because they’d be hilarious together." 

"I say we make Sharon Osbourne a full-time judge #TheMaskedSinger," a fan wrote. 

'The Masked Singer' Season 3 airs every Wednesday night only on Fox. Check your local listings for more information.
