We’ve had a few big-name singers dare to go on The Masked Singer so far. Christine Anu was on this season, while Cody Simpson took out the last season. So it’s actually not as far-fetched as it sounds to consider whether or not Bushranger is Jessica Mauboy.
But like, it totally does sound like Jess, right? That voice is distinct, and from what we’ve heard on the show so far, it’s a match.
In this writer’s opinion, Bushranger’s rendition of “Need You Now” by Lady A sounds just like Jess’ own banger “Sea of Flags”.

Not only that, but a fair few of the clues stack up, too.
There’s no way Bushranger ISNT Jess mauboy. She stopped on August on the calendar and Jess’s bday is the 4th #MaskedSingerAU

The bushranger could definitely be Jess Mauboy.
She was “axed” for wearing black dolce and gabbana boots = the black shoe.

Here’s Jess Mauboy and Dylan Alcott on The Set. There’s been lots of clues about NT and her Mum’s cultural heritage…Is Jess Mauboy the Bushranger? #MaskedSingerAU pic.twitter.com/X30NXjRJ7p

Jess Mauboy was also in a show where she was the daughter of a mechanic #MaskedSingerAU

Bushranger has such a beautiful voice, my thoughts is Jessica Mauboy because of the roots and country clue, Jess is indigenous. Her voice sounds so much like her. I think is Jessica Mauboy. #MaskedSingerAU

But here’s the thing.
A bunch of nerds who are way better at guessing clues than I am reckon that while yes, it does sound exactly like Jess Mauboy, Bushranger is probably Neighbours star Bonnie Anderson.

The clues for bushranger definitely point to Bonnie Anderson, but I can’t believe how much she sounds like Jess Mauboy! #MaskedSingerAU

I hear Jessica Mauboy one week, then I hear Bonnie Anderson another week 🙃 #MaskedSingerAU pic.twitter.com/JeQWPXOGXL

Just to confirm, even the Bonnie-guessers will conceded how much like Jess it sounds.
Split down the centre on Bushranger. I have thought Bonnie Anderson, but some notes are 100% Jess Mauboy… #MaskedSingerAU

Bonnie Anderson is sounding a lot like Jessica Mauboy with this song. #MaskedSingerAU

None of this can stop us from dreaming, though.

Brb simultaneously telling myself Jess too good for a show like this while also praying for her to be behind that mask.
