Clues

Week	Clues
1	"Nobody likes to think of themselves as a monster, but I guess I am. I'm split between two worlds: with part of me living in the shadows. I've always loved horses, and horses love this monster; they're not scared. They can see the real me beneath 'the Monster' and give me their best. But, in my work, you need to deal with some heavy material and I've been doing it since I was much younger. Does anyone care I'm a monster? They only care that I can deliver the goods, and we all want to be the first past the post. How does someone become a monster? You don't need to be a mad scientist, but you do need time in a laboratory. Right now, you see the outer 'Monster', but tonight, you're going to see and hear the inner 'Monster.' To the other masks, I say this: be afraid, be very afraid."
2	"Most monsters hide from a limelight. But last time, I had to go big or go home. But they still can't place my voice. And I'm not going to make it easy for them. So, what type of monster am I? I'm a shape shifter, it's in my biology. This is how you see me now, but I've been many things before. I am more than the voice behind the panel. When did I became the Monster you see today? When did you first notice me? The number 31 rings a bell. But monsters don't age in human years. I'm a little bit country and a little bit glam. I guess never the twain shall meet. And, when you see a monster, you think we just tear things apart, to destroy them. But I want to create. So, sit back and listen, because you're about to find out that I'm here to win."
3	"I was very happy after my last performance. Do monsters dream? I have dreamt of many things, of horses and of microphones, and my dreams have come true. My voice has made waves. Most monsters come from the city, but I'm more comfortable in the bush. It's only in the city that the outer me emerges. That is when I can tell the stories I need to tell. If you support me, I feel like I can go all the way to the finish post.
4	"I love singing slow sad songs. But I never meant to upset anyone. I'm a friendly monster. I would offer you the fur off my back or somewhere to sleep. Where I come from, people's thoughts were all going for the gold. I prefer to talk about other things, and hear my words drifting on the air. As a monster, I'm used to solitude. But now, I'm going to step out of the dark again, and I can make you all a promise. I will rock you!"
	"After my last song, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. My cunning plan: If they love me, they will keep me around. Right? But i am still a monster, and I am not perfect. Do you finally see the real me? My true colours? All I can see is, things aren't always the way they seem! So, watch out, the Monster is coming to get you!
5	"I didn't set out to win The Masked Singer, if I do it will be a glorious surprise and I will cherish it. Before every performance, I talk to Monster. I look her right in the one big eye and say, 'we can do this.' I'm proud of what I've achieved as Monster. This unique, surreal experience is a career highlight. I'm most proud that I can show my daughter that's it's never too late to chase a dream. I hope together Monster and I can inspire others to chase their dream too."

("I have trained as many things, but I changed horses in the middle of the stream.")

("In my industry, height isn't super important, but weight is.")

("I have never felt more like myself than when I've acted like someone else.")

("I once sang in the middle of the MCG for the AFL Grand Final.")

("In my daily life, I do a job I love. It's different and it can be hard and very confronting. But my most important job is being a mum to our daughter. So being The Masked Singer is the perfect gig for me.")

("My mother always asked me, 'Why aren't you sharing your voice?' And here I am in front of Australia singing with some of the best voices I've ever heard. When my family sees me take of the mask and realise that it's me, they will be so proud. This is right now a dream come true for not only me but my whole family.")
