POPCORN

TVLine's guess: "Tell It to My Heart" singer Taylor Dayne

Our thinking:

First, that voice. Second, the singer — who had hits in the 1980s — made a career out of crooning love songs. Third, Meatloaf covered her song "Original Sin" on his 1995 album, Welcome to the Neighbourhood. And fourth, early in her career, Dayne was a regular performer at Odessa, a Russian (rushin'!) club in the Brighton Beach neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY. Also, she played Grizabella in Cats and was known to rock crimped hair in the '80s. And the judges have definitely guessed her in past seasons.

TVLine readers' guesses:

* Singer Tina Turner

* Singer Cyndi Lauper

* Singer/dancer/former American Idol judge Paula Abdul

* R&B singer/Power Book II: Ghost's Mary J. Blige

* Singer Anastasia

* Tiger King subject Carole Baskin

SNOW OWLS

TVLine's guess: Siblings and former Dancing With the Stars pros Derek Hough and Julianne Hough

Our thinking:

Honestly, doing The Masked Singer as a pair just kind of seems like something the Hough siblings — both of whom have recorded albums — would do. But the closer we listen to the vocals (especially the male owl's), the more we're swayed by TVLine readers' thoughts that the duo might be country stars Clint Black and his wife, Lisa Hartman Black.

TVLine readers' guesses:

* Country singer spouses Clint Black and Lisa Hartman Black

* Country singer Clint Black and his daughter, actress/singer Lily Pearl Black

* All American's Taye Diggs and his ex-wife, Frozen's Idina Menzel

SUN

TVLine's guess: Sun is LeAnn Rimes. She's known as a strong vocalist. She's got blonde hair. And the part about ugly rumors might refer to how her relationship with husband Eddie Cibrian got off to a tabloid-y start. One of her clue packages has heavy references to 2009's Northern Lights, in which she and Cibrian co-starred.

TVLine readers' guesses:

* Country singer LeAnn Rimes

* Singer/former Voice coach Christina Aguilera

* "One of the Cheetah Girls idk who"

* R&B singer Toni Braxton

* Country singer Carrie Underwood

* Smash star/American Idol alum Katharine McPhee

BABY ALIEN

Clues from Episode 2:

* Shower

* "I'd been stuck in second gear for a while."

* "A wicked big splash"

CROCODILE

TVLine's guess: Backstreet Boy Nick Carter

Our thinking: Aren't all of the boy-banders going to do this show at one point or another?

TVLine readers' guesses:

* Singer Jon Bon Jovi

* How I Met Your Mother's Neil Patrick Harris

* Pop singer Nick Lachey

SEAHORSE

TVLine's guess: Singer-songwriter Tori Kelly

Our thinking: Real talk? We didn't have a clue about who this might be until TVLine readers started chiming in. And that's when Kelly suddenly made sense to us: Seahorse sounds like a (sorry, Brit) more vocally talented Britney Spears, and Kelly is known for her Britney imitation.
