The Dragon mask is one of the performers this year on 'The Masked Singer' Season 4. There are a lot of unique masks this season but Dragon stands out as the detailing on the entire look is beautiful as well as intimidating.

After the premiere episode tonight, it was proved that not only is the look intimidating and strong but the voice behind the elaborate costume was one of biggest and best from the night, according to the judges. The Dragon performed to 'Mama Said Knock You Out' by LL Cool J. He performed really well but he couldn't match up to the other performances of the night and ended up with the lowest number of votes. Busta Rhymes emerged from under the mask after the elimination. It didn't come as a surprise, as far as the identity of the person under the mask was concerned. Two judges as well as the audiences at home had already guessed it was Busta Rhymes. Here's how they arrived to the judgment. 

After Dragon's performance, it was time for judges to have their guesses about the person who they think could be behind the mask. A clue package entailing a set of subtle hints about the person behind the dragon mask was played before the performance. The clue packages are for the judges and the audiences at home to take a guess about the personality behind the mask.

In the clue video, the dragon was heard saying, "Welcome to my lair. Sorry it's a bit humid in here. Dressing up in funky, outrageous costumes isn't new to me. Like a dragon, I've always been a fire breathing beast on a quest to be the best," said the Dragon while running a lap, being timed by a stopwatch at the same time. The video continued with him saying, "At first, my fire was dangerous. But then, I got a tip to help me calm down and switch gears. And now, I got me this shiny treasure den." The video also showed a "treasure den" filled with piles of gold coins, medals and golden trophies. Concluding the clue video, he said, "Tonight I'm coming on stage to prove my fire's still hot and to drag the Golden Mask back to my lair!"

Coming to the guesses the judges took, Jenny McCarthy said that at first she believed it could be Snoop Dogg but then stuck with DMX. Robin Thicke and Nicole Scherzinger went with Busta Rhymes and Ken Jeong once again with his "wrong guesses only" reputation, said he believed it is Michael Phelps under the mask. 

'The Masked Singer' airs on Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on FOX.
