Mask Singer 2026 : The chick has been unmasked… its a Eurovision star

The Friday prime-time show highlighted the sparkling voice of the celebrity hidden under the costume of the chick.

The investigation is in full swing on “Mask Singer”. Since April 24th, the quartet of investigators has been relying on their instincts to uncover the 23 disguised celebrities in this ninth edition, promised as the “season of novelties”. By allowing the Clown to take the stage without a mask but with hours of makeup, the production has come up with strategies to “drive crazy” the jury and viewers. Like playing with Russian Dolls, showcasing two or three performers live, one of whom was ultimately a member of the Worlds Apart boy band. However, TF1’s entertainment teams opted for a more classic approach with Le Poussin, competing on Friday’s prime-time show.

A sublime voice and a sense of showmanship

Dressed in a gleaming canary yellow costume, this golden-voiced bird impressed Kev Adams and his colleagues with his sparkling rendition of the song “Briller”, the hit song from the Netflix smash “KPop Demon Hunters”. This won over the young audience and secured a spot for the next stage of the competition. However, with his choice of song, this energetic character did not escape the scrutiny of the most astute viewers.

His vocal range and colorful musical repertoire led us to think of the French representative at the 2019 Junior Eurovision, Carla Lazzari. This theory was backed by clues scattered throughout the show. “Trophies”, “book”, and “eagle” were the first elements revealed, with the bird symbolizing the city of Nice, where the young singer, who participated in “The Voice Kids” in 2018, hails from. This Friday, more words were added to the mix: “sun”, “five”, “two”, and “America”. The singer of “Bim Bam Toi”, who ranked fifth in the continental music competition, released an album with Jeck (“Oxygène”) and one of the tracks is titled “America”.

According to Laurent Ruquier’s notes, “It’s a Poussin that steals the show”. Unlike Kev Adams, who found out the identity, the head of the show “Les Grosses Têtes” remains in the dark about this celebrity whose dancing abilities he admires. He considers the Belgian singer, Méloody (“Y’a pas que les grands qui rêvent”), while also mentioning Jain, Tal, and Louane as possible contenders. So far, all have failed to crack the mystery.
