Who is Macaw on The Masked Singer US? Clues

Country Night Clues:

Celebrity Clue: Macaw's clue was a silver medal. "It wasn't until I left the nest that I struck gold," he said.

Voiceover Clue: "I’m so excited to become the Macaw, because he’s everything that I’m not. Flashy, confident and he sings country songs. Even though I’ve been performing since a young age, it definitely didn’t start out as a passion. My dad would bribe me with quesadillas to perform at our local Mexican restaurant. And eventually, I spread my wings on bigger stages. But the pressure to be always the good son has brought me so much anxiety. But somewhere on the journey of melted cheese and panic attacks, I learned to take breaks and reset. What started as a way to make my parents happy turned into what actually fills me with glee. This is the year I decided to be brave not only on stage but in my own life. So, this feels like the perfect opportunity to put my newfound courage on display."

Semifinals Clues:

Panelist Connection (to Nicole Scherzinger): "Not only do we both love to travel but we both a special love for the Philippines."

Voiceover Clue: "When I first started in my career, I was a lot more reserved. I was young and I wasn’t quite sure who I was or who I was supposed to be. But as I was getting to know myself, I was also afraid of who I was. I thought if I told the truth, I was afraid I was going to lose everyone. But when I did, it changed my life in such a beautiful way. It felt like I didn’t have to hide anything anymore. I always avoided love songs because I didn’t like what they were talking about because I couldn’t relate to it. But now I know what it’s talking about because I’ve experienced it. I’m really excited about tonight’s performance because while I know people are still going through what I went through, to come back on TV and point right at the camera and say ‘you’re enough,’ it means everything. It’s so beautiful and why did I keep this from myself for all this time?"

Finals Clues:

Voiceover clue: "Becoming the Macaw is exciting because it’s like I’m becoming a new person. Even though people can’t see me in this, in a way it lets me show a lot more of myself. I can show the colors I was too afraid to show, and I’m able to tap deeper emotionally in my performances. You know, I had a lot of anxiety coming here because I wasn’t sure I could handle an environment of being judged again. Especially with millions watching me on TV. But being the Macaw makes it a lot more fun. And if I win, it means I actually can win something. Maybe the last night for Macaw, but he’ll live in me forever. When I first started this competition, I didn’t think I’d make it this far. And honestly, I wasn’t sure I’d still be singing at all. Not a lot of people know this about me, but I had a major injury last year that made me completely silent for three months. I was also going through some pretty big life events, and I began to wonder if this is really for me. But after taking time to reflect, I realized there was still a part of me in performing and that I should keep trying, even with all the changes. I once thought I would be alone. But from this bird’s eye view, I can see I deserve to be loved."
