Clues

Week	Clue
2	"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."
3	"I’m the Microphone but I haven’t always needed a microphone myself. I was not the first to do what I did, but I was the most successful. I needed to please others first to get my opportunity. There are great opportunities to be sought on my own. I never do what’s expected, why wait until the end of your career to do the thing you love? Climbing the ladder is tough, you have to fight for what you want. Get nasty, but not fierce! One, two three… you’re out! Will I win The Masked Singer? I say yes!"
	"Are you dying to know who I am? Well, I’m not going to bare it all right now. Am I a triple threat? More of a double, really, but I’ll give anything a red hot go even if it’s wicked! I’m a believer in karma; right place, right time. You can’t go back and do the things you didn’t, no, no, no. I’m Microphone, and my goal is winning The Masked Singer!"
	"This competition doesn't scare me, I've outlasted others before, I know I have the heart for it. Despite what people say, I am not an only child! Hopes and prayers are great, I love 'em, but sometimes throwin' a bit of cash at a problem can help too. Microphones are incredibly versatile. A lead singer uses one, so does a backup singer. A dancer? Not as much. I'm Microphone and I will outlast the others!"
