Peacock is a masked celebrity on the first season of The Masked Singer.

Appearance[]

The mask is a blue peacock's head with feathers on top. The outfit itself is a blue and green sequined jacket with a golden collar and blue pants. On the back are tail feathers reminiscent to that of an actual peacock, although in some performances he wears a small blue cape instead.

In his 2nd performance, Peacock wore an extra large cape with blue feathers and insides and green on the outside. This cape was removed mid performance.

Clues[]

Week Clue
1 "I chose to become 'the Peacock' because we both share a love of the spotlight. When I was five years old, I walked onto a stage for the first time. And from that day on, I was hooked. Putting on a show is in my DNA. But it's probably been a while since your mom had a poster of me on her bedroom wall. As my dear friend, Michael Jackson, once told me, if you're going to reinvent yourself, you have to become someone the world has never seen before. So here goes. It's never too late for this showman to make a comeback."
3 "When I stepped on that stage for the first time, I loved being able to perform without anyone knowing who I was. It was absolutely exhilarating, and I felt like I was five years old again. This show appealed to me so much, because I've had so many different incarnations of my career, and everyone thinks they know me. I started out as a little teenybopper, but there's more than meets the eye. Then I was cast in some dramatic roles. And tonight, I'm going to push myself harder than I ever have before by performing on a 30-foot lift in a mask in which I can barely see my own feet. Oh, and did I mention I have a terrible fear of heights?"
6 "Being behind a mask has been very strange and very lonely. Let me tell you. Like, before my last performance, I was standing all alone, getting ready. And I couldn't even talk to the crew because I had to remain anonymous. Without this mask, everyone recognizes me, and they want to chat. But here, I feel invisible. It's like my entire career just disappeared into thin air. By day, I perform as my 176-pound real self. But by night, I ride into the competition masked and ready for battle. Winning would mean everything to me. So as my opponents step up their game, I am going to step up mine. And I'm going to give the world all of me."
7 "I've been getting fan mail since I was a wee little peachick. After all, I started my career as a showbiz prodigy. And it's led me down many different magical paths. I performed on stages, screen. I've hosted award shows. And I've accumulated fans all over the world, including knights, kings, and queens. But the crazy thing is, those fans don't even know I'm here. I am one performance away from the semi-finals. And I am more determined than ever to outshine the rest of the singers. I want this so badly, I can't feel my face."
8 "Oh, doc, things are not good. Last week, my performance wasn't my best. Robin felt the song wasn't suited to my style. The thing is, I'm a perfectionist when I perform. And I hate to let my little soldiers of affection down. I pride myself in being the brightest, most well-rounded performer of the flock. So this week, I'm going to give it everything I've got to be the idol that they all deserve. I'm bringing an energy and heat with this song that will have you flying out of your seats. Tonight, I'm making it all about you, my beloved P-ettes. Because, after all, it had to be you."
9 "The first time I strutted onto The Masked Singer stage, I felt 100% at home as 'the Peacock'. Performing in this mask has made me fearless. People cannot judge me based on what they've read, what they've seen, or what they've heard about me. I am free. In my career, I have done it all. I sing, dance, act, host. And I have lived nearly every dream I had. The key to my success is this. I don't relax. When I go home at night, I walk in the door walking like a peacock I'm always thinking about how to improve. I watch videos of my performances. I go through the vocals in my mind over and over again. I am a perfectionist. And I love it. And I hate it. On this stage, I became 'the Peacock'. Now the only question I have is, can I also become the champion? Winning would mean everything to me. And I am more determined than ever to finish my comeback with another feather in my cap."
