'The Masked Singer': Jon Bon Jovi or Nick Carter, who could it be behind the pink crocodile mask?

The pink crocodile kicked off the Group B performances and fans think it's either Backstreet Boys band member Nick Carter or Bon Jovi frontman, rocker Jon Bon Jovi himself

The Crocodile mask kicked off the Group B performances on 'The Masked Singer' on Wednesday (September 30) night. Dressed up in a blingy pink crocodile costume, the masked celebrity walked on to the stage and the judges were just as awestruck with the flamboyance, as they were during the special preview episode when all the participating masks were revealed. Before Crocodile could perform, there was a new clue package video with newer hints about who the person under the mask is. "Becoming the crocodile was a natural selection because I'm happiest in water," said the masked singer in the video. "Ever since I was a kid, growing up in Hollywood, surrounded by heartache and instability, I was forced to develop a thick skin," he continued. He concluded the video saying that he was a "warm, sensitive creature who just wants to be loved back," and that he'll make "a wicked big splash."

For the performance, Crocodile chose 'It's My Life' by Bon Jovi. As soon as the performance ended, judge Jenny McCarthy noted that it could be the frontman of the band, Jon Bon Jovi himself disguised under the reptile mask. Ken Jeong guessed it could be John Hamm, while Nicole Scherzinger noted that it could be a boy bander under the mask and went with Nick Lachey as her guess, and McCarthy's husband Donnie Wahlberg was Robin Thicke's guess. However, none of the other guesses but McCarthy's is the one that the audiences are agreeing with. A lot of them are of the opinion that it's indeed the rocker who was jamming it out, having a great time on stage with his own song. A close second is Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys. Here are some reactions. 

"I knew it was @nickcarter just from the previews. No one moves quite like him...even as a crocodile," wrote a fan. "This is @nickcarter I would know that voice and those moves anywhere!!!!" wrote another. "It’s @nickcarter. My 12-year-old BSB loving self will time travel to slap me in the face if I’m wrong. #crocodilemask" wrote another. "I think #CrocodileMask is @BonJovi because I was thinking 'he sounds like the guy who sings You Give Love a Bad Name' which is indeed Bon Jovi. #TheMaskedSinger," read a tweet." Trying not to think the Crocodile is Bon Jovi, but I've listened to that man's voice my whole life lol. Definitely know this voice, though. #TheMaskedSinger," wrote another fan. "Ok I’m jumping on the Jon Bon train for #TheMaskedSinger," wrote another.

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