Clues for Sir Bug a boo
The first clue slipped by FOX for this masked singer was a "bow tie." However that wasn't enough, therefore, Sir Bug a boo brought a bunch of other clues to help guess his character. Sir Bug a boo claimed in the clue package, "It may be scaring you but I am used to the spooky side." Indeed, hinting that the celebrity masked singer must have done some scary movie or directed one. He further explained about getting a job about which he never dreamed of. That got the masked singer a "permanent place in the pop culture." Furthermore, the clue package showed a pen and paper, hinting that this masked singer could even be a writer.
Even though Sir Bug a boo claimed to not be frightened of scary movies but "terrified of the dark." He sang 'Devil with a Blue Dress on' by Mitch Ryder and The Detroit Wheels. As soon as his first song ended, judges started making guesses, claiming the celebrity singer to have a "toned" as well as a "beautiful" voice. Furthermore, some of the panelists claimed the voice to be "familiar." Sir Bug a boo sang his own rendition of 'Somebody's Watching Me' by Rockwell. Sir Bug a boo brought with him a box of clues covered with a red cloth with a spider on it, giving a ghoulish vibe. As the judges removed the red cloth, there was a box containing green slime. Jenny McCarthy put her hand inside the box and found a photo of Nicole Scherzinger in it. This indeed hinted that the masked singer is somehow connected or has worked previously with Nicole. Sir Bug a boo claimed to have jammed with Nicole in the past and they had a great time doing that.
Nicole, who has jammed with a lot of singers, guessed Sir Bug a boo to be Randy Jackson or Lil Red. Jenny connected the green slime clue with Sir Bug a boo's "who you gonna call?" statement, claiming the masked singer to be Ernie Hudson from 'Ghostbuster.' Ken Jeon connected the "pen and paper" clue and claimed the celebrity singer to be a famous writer and director. He guessed Sir Bug a boo to be 'Get Out' and 'Nope' director Jordan Peele. However, these guesses didn't seem to match the right one. Sir Bug a boo got eliminated after the Battle Royale round and unmasked to be 'Who You Gonna Call?' and 'Ghostbuster' them-song singer Ray Erskine Parker Jr. The green slime clue was for her album in 'Ghostbuster II'. Parker is a musician, singer, songwriter, and record producer. Parker has won Grammy for Pop Instrumental Performance and Male R&B Vocal Performance.
Scarecrow was the first one to step out from the show by self-eliminating herself. Then, Sir Bugaboo got eliminated in the 'Fright Night' episode, making Snowstorm go ahead in the semi-finals. 'The Masked Singer' Season 8 Episode 10 will release on November 24 at 8 pm ET on FOX.
