In the music industry, a unique voice has always been proven effective in putting up yourself among the many other talented artists in the community. Singers who have very distinct voices have been successful in making their mark among their fans and to the public.
For this week's episode of "The Masked Singer," netizens are in unison and are confident that they know who the artist is already just from the first few phrases that they have sung.
Who is The 'Harp' in 'The Masked Singer'?
In the first episode of Season 8 of "The Masked Singer" judges Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, and Nicole Scherzinger are at a loss for names when the golden and majestic "Harp" performed onstage.
With a body-hugging golden outfit, the "Harp" sang one of P!nk's most iconic songs, "Perfect." And just like the song says, the masked singer perfectly confused the four celebrity judges by guessing who they are.
Before their performance, the singer revealed that they have auditioned on one of the biggest singing competition shows in the world when she was a teenager. This prompted the judges into thinking that it was American Idol contestants Jordin Sparks and Fantasia. Jennifer Hudson was also thrown into the mix. (via Gold Derby)
Per their initial hints, the "Harp" masked singer revealed that she had explored careers in comedy, acting, and singing - and has managed to win prestigious awards in all three categories.
While the judges are still scrambling to determine the identity of the "Harp" masked singer. Twitter seemed to be confident in their answer about who is behind the golden percussion instrument.
Judging based on the clip that The Masked Singer posted on their official Twitter account. "Harp" was belting out the chorus of Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing."

For netizens, it is an easy answer - it's Amber Riley.
For those who have forgotten her already, she played Mercedes Jones on Fox's longest-running musical dramedy "Glee." Just by her hints already, her identity could be easily determined.
Riley auditioned for the second season of "American Idol" which was won by Rubben Studdard but got rejected by Simon Cowell. She has also won a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical for "Dreamgirls" on West End and a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
Besides that her distinct raspy voice is hard to miss considering she has sung plenty of Whitney Houston hits on "Glee" already.
"The Masked Singer" airs every Wednesday at 8/7c on Fox Channel.
