John Oates on Masked Singer: Weirdest Gig Ever

0:00On April 3rd, John Oates from Holland Oates just dropped the real talk on his masked singer run. The 77-year-old rocked the anteater costume on season 10 last fall, landing six place overall. In a fresh podcast chat, he called it the weirdest gig of his life, a weird mix of career high and low. He jumped in blind, never even watching the show before, just chasing fresh vibes at this stage in his path. That bulky suit cramped his singing, moves, and sight, turning every performance into a grind. Elimination day hid brutal, flew into L.A. at 2.30 a.m., post-Newport Folk Fest, then dragged to set by 8.30 a.m., dizzy, sweating buckets. He battled a sing-off feeling faint, but losing felt like winning when he finally ditched that headpiece. He powered through covers like walking a Memphis, I wanted that way, and Johnny be good, while stars like Billie Jean King, Macy Gray, and Winner. Mayo lit up the season. On stage, he faked the fun, but backstage relief washed over him.

1:00Oats keeps the momentum with his new solo album Reunion this year, proving he's still leaping into the unknown, suit, or no suit. This has been Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the Story.
