Why Nicole Scherzinger Won’t Be On The Masked Singer Season 11
The Masked Singer panelist Nicole Scherzinger won’t appear in season 11. Here’s why she’ll be missed from the mystery singing competition show.
The Masked Singer season 10 runner-up was Donut, who was unmasked and revealed to be actor and singer John Schneider. As a member of Group C, he stole everyone’s hearts throughout the competition with his beautiful and authentic performances, and his love for his late wife, Alicia Allain, who passed away on February 21, 2023 at the age of 53 due to breast cancer.
As Donut, John stole the show on One Hit Wonders Night with his rendition of “Hooked on a Feeling” by Blue Swede. He followed that with “I Do (Cherish You)” by 98 Degrees on Trolls Night, “Frosty the Snowman” by Gene Autry during the Holiday Sing-A-Long, and “Georgia On My Mind” by Ray Charles and “Wanted” by Hunter Hayes (Battle Royale) during the Group C finals on Soundtrack to My Life Night.
In the first round of the Masked Singer season finale, John sang a heart-wrenching version of “You Are So Beautiful” by Joe Cocker. As he once again paid tribute to his late wife, John brought the panelists to tears with his moving performance. In round two versus Cow, he sang “Drift Away” by Dobie Gray. He brought the house down with this song, dancing with the panelists at the table. John placed second in The Masked Singer season 10, after giving his whole heart and soul to the competition.
Before John was unmasked, the panelists offered their final guesses for his identity, including Tom Jones (Robin and Ken) and Engelbert Humperdinck (Nicole). Only Jenny guessed John correctly. When John was unmasked, he again sang an exciting version of “Hooked on a Feeling.”
The Masked Singer season 10 featured some of the best performers in the history of the show. Winner Ne-Yo was especially impressive, and he raised the bar for future contestants. As a seasoned performer, Ne-Yo took his routines to another level, incorporating choreography. He will always be remembered for his outstanding stage presence. He now joins the list of winners including T-Pain (Monster), Wayne Brady (Fox), Kandi Burruss (Night Angel), LeAnn Rimes (Sun), Nick Lachey (Piglet), Jewel (Queen of Hearts), Teyana Taylor (Firefly), Amber Riley (Harp), and Bishop Briggs (Medusa).
