Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large SPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 11, Episode 10 of “The Masked Singer,” “Quarter Finals: Final Four,” which aired May 8 on Fox. “This Is Us” star Chrissy Metz knew “The Masked Singer” would be a challenge. But that’s why Metz, who was revealed as latest celebrity to be unmasked on Wednesday night’s quarter finals, figured she had to do it. “When I watched the show, and I would see either my friends or peers on the show, I’m like, how do they do it?” said Metz, who was revealed as the Poodle Moth.
“And it was harder than I thought. I knew it was gonna be like trying, because it’s enough to just stand on the stage and sing. But like to put on a massive costume, to not really know where you’re going and to be led by people in front of the live audience and lights and all that, there’s a lot of pressure.
And of course, because I am a singer, and I love music, I want to do well. I don’t want to fall on my face. Even up until like the last episode, I was like, I don’t know if I could do this.
This is difficult. I don’t think people realize, but you just keep pushing through and you just prepare as much as you can, and then try to have as much fun as you can.” Metz this week sang “Price Tag,” by Jessie J. But she told Variety that her favorite performance was “The House That Built Me,” by Miranda Lambert, because it was personal.
“It’s one of my favorite Miranda songs,” she said. “I can really relate to that song. Especially because most recently, we were my family was renovating my childhood home and they were going to sell it.
