ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: It looks like that costume was pretty easy to move in.
Michael Becker/FOX
It was very constricting, very heavy, very hot.
There was not one performance where I didnt get winded and feel like I was gasping for my life.
I think after one of them I just fell to the floor afterwards.
Did you have a choice in costumes?
Did you see the Rottweiler and said, Oh yeah, thats me.Yeah, I did.
It just resonated with me.
And he was so damn cute.
So it was a nice juxtaposition to what I thought Rottweilers were.
Was it an easy sell to get you to do this show?Oh my God, yes.
I remember years ago I sawRyan Reynoldsdothe version in Korea.
And then my publicist said, Hey, have you seenMasked Singer?
I was like, Wait, is that the same thing that Ryan Reynolds did years ago?
And he was like, Yeah, but its releasing in America.
So I went back and watched season 1.
I really want to experience this.
It seems so fun and liberating.
Your fans believe you have a very distinctive voice.
And singing songs that really showcase my lower tone, which is something I typically dont do.
Theyre going, Hey, youre not fooling anybody under that costume.
And I couldnt say anything.
My poker face was really strong and even my kids were like, Daddy, is that you?
And I would say, I dont see how it could be.
Some of the clues are very obvious.
But I dont know how I managed to pull it off.
They didnt guess me.
Were you able to hear your competition much?Never.
I didnt know how many professional singers I was up against.
It was so freeing to just go against me and me only.
I know Seal and I know Wayne Brady and once I found out it was like, really?
I found out watching the show like everybody else.
It was actually weird watching me.
It was almost like Im watching somebody else because Im under a costume.
Im seeing things through this little slit in my mask and I dont get the scope of it all.
And seeing it like that was almost like watching someone else perform.
And I was nervous every time watching it.
Theres no doubt in my mind thats Seal.
You sounded so superb doing Grenade.
Any chance you would cover that later?I dont know.
Its certainly a fun song and Im good friends with one of the gentleman who wrote it.
I havent really thought about it yet.
Everythings been so about the show and were working on a new record right now in the studio.
Im very, very excited for fans to hear whats coming.
Ill leave it at that.
At least I did not come in fourth.
That was my goal, to make it past fourth place.
I felt very vindicated.
