The Masked Singer Australia 2022 kicked off last week and may I just say, what a fabulous start to the season!
During the first few episodes, a bunch of clues were unveiled and the internet is absolutely BRIMMING with theories.
Let’s have a peek at who everyone reckons is behind each mask from the first round of singers.
Who is behind The Masked Singer Australia 2022 masks?
Rooster
The clues: Rooster was given a carton of eggs with just seven eggs inside, then giving a lesson Rooster pointed at a series of words: naughtiness, scandal, turpitude, opprobrium and gossip. A bodyguard also held up a ring after the lesson. Then, holding up binoculars, Rooster looked to the skies as the shadow of a helicopter flew across a full moon. Finally, Rooster stood in front of a blackboard that had a photo of Liza Minelli and a map of Nepal on it.
The theory: Hugh Sheridan

Microphone
Clues: “I’m Microphone and I’m here to bring some real glamour. I didn’t start in a place like this, in fact, I took quite a different path and doubted my own abilities but I eventually learned to believe in me. Microphones are meant for those special, uplifting moments. We know the dark times too, but you only see the purple patches. I believe you make your own future, but a bit of luck never hurts either! I was almost involved in a life of crime, and my parents would have been proud! I got two years, but thankfully I had the best lawyer money can buy.”
Theory #1: Michelle Williams.
Michelle Williams definitely Microphone.
“The best lawyer money can buy” is from Chicago.
Was also in The Colour Purple Musical.

Snapdragon
The clues: “I’m Snapdragon, and I’ve got the looks and the bite. Snapdragons may not breathe fire, but we are determined. The world of flowers is tough, we compete for our time in the sun, but even then, you don’t really see me as I am. That’s why some people call me mysterious. I’m Snapdragon, and it’s time for me to blossom.”
Theory: So Dramatic! reckons it’s Eurovision singer Sheldon Riley.
Popcorn
The clues: “Hi, I’m Popcorn. Let’s have some fun! I went from nothing to huge in the blink of an eye, or that’s how it seems to you, but there’s a lot of work in being an overnight success. Wikipedia says Popcorn’s ancestors come from Mexico, I don’t think that’s true, but maybe it is because I’ve been in many places. It’s hard to know where home is. If I got stuck on a desert island, who would I want to be with? Kylie, of course, and Lady Gaga. I’m Popcorn, and I’m here to have fun!”
Theory: So Dramatic! has deduced that Popcorn is singer Sam Sparrow.
Mirrorball
The clues, per 10play: “The fantastic Mirrorball knows how to turn any room into a party, and her ability to hit some incredible notes blew the judges away. In her clues, Mirrorball was cracking out some classic disco dance moves. She stood proudly between a Mexican flag and a flag with the number 48 on it, but a fireball saw the 48 turn to ashes, while the bodyguard holding the first flag had a thought bubble that said ‘That’s hot!’ Mirrorball also reclined behind a piano that had two framed photos on top of it, one of John Travolta and the other of Uma Thurman.”
Theory #1: Melody Thornton from the Pussycat Dolls
Mirrorball is Melody Thornton from the Pussycat Dolls. She is Mexican/American. She was in the movie Be Cool with Uma and John. Born in 1984 (48 backwards just like the novel 1984, written in 1948 about Big Brother – which she sung on) Trust me I know my my PCD. #MaskedSingerau

Mirrorball is @MelodyThornton from pussycat dolls
– she starred in Be Cool with Uma and Travolta
– Mexican flag (her mum is Mexican-American)
– “turns to ashes” referencing her single “Phoenix Rising”#MaskedSingerAU— Leon Sjogren (@Leonsjogren) August 7, 2022
Theory #2: Kylie Minogue
Mirrorball sounds like Kylie but surely not. Probably Dannii #MaskedSingerAU

Blowfly
The clues, per 10play: “Our very first celeb flew onto the stage and immediately put the panel on the edge of their seats. Seen playing cricket in front of a mob of kangaroos, Blowfly also showed off their sprinting ability, doing a dash between two chequered flags that each had the number 10 on it. Later, Blowfly looked to be delivering a pizza to a doctor, but when they opened the box they revealed a single yabby that exploded into a massive fireball. But the pizza motif continued when Blowfly stood outside a pizzeria advertising German sausage pizza as the special of the day.”
The theory: Shannon Noll
Cruising in my V8 = Riding in my big black shiny car, SHANNON NOLL IS BLOWFLY CONFIRMED 😦 #MaskedSingerAU pic.twitter.com/2wk8DRcmoQ

Blowfly Shannon Noll? Days of Innocence was the Moving Pictures’ What About Me is on #maskedsingerau
— Cameron Padams (@cameron_adams) August 7, 2022
Shannon Noll performed at Oktoberfest, released a yabbie baiting product, related to the waugh brothers and released a cricket song and v8 referencing his song “drive”. 100% Blowfly is Nollsy #MaskedSingerAU
— Josh White (@whitie007) August 7, 2022
Blowfly is @NOLLSIE!!!
– Car reference to his song ‘Drive’
– German Sausage is reference to his performance at Octoberfest
– The Cricket bay reference is his cover of ‘C’mon Aussie C’mon’
– ALSO, that voice DUH#maskedsingerAU— Leon Sjogren (@Leonsjogren) August 7, 2022
Zombie
The clues, per 10play: “I’m Zombie and my performances will live forever. I used to feel entitled but I’m not as green as I used to be… or as orange. Would you care for a baked potato? I’m a Zombie, I’m not wicked but I’m not magical either. I was once upon a time. I’m Zombie and I’d rather die than lose The Masked Singer.”
The theory: Emma Wiggle
Zombie is Emma (wiggle) Watkins
– She did Wicked
– The fruit might be referring to Fruit Salad and The Hot Potato#MaskedSingerAU— Leon Sjogren (@Leonsjogren) August 7, 2022
Zombie sounds so much like Emma wiggle! Also in the clues she mentions a hot or baked potato – hmmmm don’t know but sounds like her! 🎶 🎤#maskedsingerau

Thong
The clues, per 10play: “I’m the Thong, I’m familiar, I’m comfortable and an Aussie icon with a background overseas. However, I’m better known for my work with M&M. I love a barbie, and I also like a banquet… not at this beach though. I hope it’s fish! I really love fish. Is a humble thong worthy of admiration? I think so and that’s why I’ll win The Masked Singer!”
The theory: Bindi Irwin
Im guessing thong is 100% Bindi Irwin #MaskedSingerAU
— Brenna Rose🌹 (@BrennaRose_92) August 7, 2022
I kinda like the Bindi Irwin guess for Thong #maskedsingerau
