‘The Masked Singer’: Nicole and Jenny Are Confident Black Swan Is Demi Lovato (Exclusive Video)

And Nicole’s theory has to do with “The X-Factor”

“The Masked Singer” has been host to a lot of professional singer contestants throughout its five-season run, and judges Nicole Scherzinger and Jenny McCarthy think yet another has joined the show: Demi Lovato.

In TheWrap’s exclusive clip from Wednesday’s episode of the Fox singing competition, Scherzinger gives her theory about the identity of the Black Swan contestant, which McCarthy ends up agreeing with.

“We saw the scale of justice, right? So I’m thinking, OK, could it be a judge?” Scherzinger says in the video, which you can view above. “I was getting a lot of ‘X-Factor’ vibes. Could have been a judge on the ‘X-Factor,’ like Demi Lovato with those vocals.”

Hey, if anyone on “The Masked Singer” panel is going to correctly guess that a competitor is actually a former “The X-Factor” judge, it’s probably going to be Scherzinger, a former “The X-Factor” judge.

(We’ll just note here that other judges who appeared on the U.S. version of “The X-Factor” include L.A. Reid, Cheryl, Paula Abdul, Simon Cowell, Britney Spears, Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio.)

“She’s got that range, so that’s not bad,” McCarthy says in response to Scherzinger’s guess. “I was kind of thinking Demi Lovato, too.”

“Masked Singer” judges Robin Thicke and Ken Jeong don’t give their specific thoughts on Black Swan’s identity in the clip, but Thicke at least sounds like he’s on board with Lovato, too.
