The Harp kicked off The Masked Singer season 8 premiere with a soulful performance

The Harp was the first costumed contestant of the night to take center stage and open season 8 with an incredible performance. But prior to her performance, the series revealed a slew of clues as to who might be under the mask. Besides the clues revealed on-screen, the Harp herself also revealed more clues during her monolog. She shared, "I can't believe I'm here on premiere night. But I am telling you, life does have a funny way of putting you exactly where you need to be. When I was a teenager, I auditioned for the biggest show in the world. It was my dream, but I didn't fit the mold and was turned down." The Masked Singer@MaskedSingerFOXHm... do you accept this clue from #HarpMask? #TheMaskedSinger24122Hm... do you accept this clue from #HarpMask? #TheMaskedSinger https://t.co/vSLJjg5qSv Continuing, the Harp added that although she was devastated, she knew that she had to keep going. She further stated that her uniqueness later landed her an opportunity of a lifetime. She concluded by saying: "(I) became an idol for anyone who felt like an outsider. The 'no's' in my life made me stronger, but I won't be taking 'no' for an answer tonight." In the visual clues that ran in the background during the monolog, there was a cast listing sheet that mentioned "Lead 1" beside two other leads that were left unlisted. Another visual clue was a man dressed in either a scarecrow costume or a witch hat, who handed over a bouquet of pink and red roses to the Harp. The final visual clue was a pair of 3D glasses. After her clues, the Harp took to the stage and performed her rendition of the famed song, Perfect, by award-winning singer Pink. The judges and audience were floored by her performance. Following her performance, Jenny McCarthy shared, "She's got grace, she's got class, she's got stage presence" For The Masked Singer contestant's onstage clue, she told host Nick Cannon that she has won awards for singing, acting and for being a part of a comedy ensemble. This got the judges on their feet thinking about who could be under the mask. The Masked Singer@MaskedSingerFOXShe's here to face the music!

Jenny McCarthy speculated that it could be Jordin Sparks or Fantasia citing her appearance on American Idol. Ken Jeong guessed that it could be Jennifer Hudson because she appeared on American Idol and S*x and the City. While three of the four judges made their guesses, Nicole Scherzinger was too stumped to make a decision. Fans, however, had a prediction of their own.
