1 | Be upstanding, and get ready to meet your Queen Bee. I was quite young when I began my career. Being so young, people like to confine me to one type of beehive. But I guess you could say I've always been a bit of a wild card. Coming to The Masked Singer, I feel free to be myself. No one knows who I am, it's very liberating. Now I feel like I've grown up I'm no longer a princess, I'm a queen. So roll out the red carpet, because tonight I'm going to have a ball. |
3 | In my last performance, the panel and audience gave me a very royal reception. And this queen couldn't 'bee' happier. I don't think the panel are close to guessing who I am at all. It's so much fun to be on Masked Singer. I got so much of a buzz from my last performance, but not as much of a buzz as I get from helping other people. A queen should look after her subjects, it's nice to be able to use my voice for good. People might think I'm shy, but I'm not afraid to stand up and fight for what I believe in. I've always done that, and it makes me proud to say that sometimes I've made a real change. Am I law breaker? No, I'm a law maker. I'm a benevolent queen and bees only sting when they have to. But don't let that fool you, this bee can sting. |
5 | My last performance left me feeling truly majestic. The panel's guesses were hilarious. I couldn't believe how off the mark they were. Using my voice has always been something I've loved, but I am naturally shy. But surprise, surprise I won a contest and my career was launched. I was so young, I felt like I was being swept along with the tide, like I'd been thrown in at the deep end. But I learned fast and before I knew it, I was centre stage at some pretty big venues. With tonight song I've going to enjoy every moment, these wings are made to fly. |
6 | In my last performance, I felt like I made a good impression. I love being behind the mask. Having a public image can be difficult. Nowadays, everyone has an opinion and it's not always complimentary. It can be tough to deal with as a young girl. I'd do silly things to change my appearance. Now I'm smarter and wiser, I can laugh it off. A woman like me now has the power to let young bees know it's okay to look however you want, we're all different. |
7 | I was in heaven in my last performance, I love to be out on that stage. Tonight is the semi-final and I'll do anything to 'Heidi' my real identity. I'm having such a good time, I feel like I found my joie de vivre. A relative once told me that Marie Antoinette was my ancestor. Maybe that's why I feel like France is my spiritual home. I love to spend my days there perhaps reading or writing. Maybe I should stick to England for now, french isn't a language I speak. Although I do hope I can make you go 'ooh la la' with my performance tonight. |
8 | Being on stage in the semi-final, I was absolutely buzzing. But are the panel close to guessing who I am? Let's just see. Entering this competition has felt like I'm right back where it all began, in fact, it was a singing competition that launched my career, and here I am again walking into another final, it feels like a fairytale. Like I'm looking at everything through cinderella's eyes. How this story ends is up to the audience to decide, what will be will be. |
