Are you the voice we shell in love with?
The turtle sounds like “Beautiful Soul” singer Jesse McCartney, and the clues are starting to add up. The burger part of the clue package could point to the fact that McCartney shares a last name with a meatless burger brand in the U.K. called Linda McCartney’s.
It’s possible the surfboard points to McCartney’s stint on Summerland, and his references about fighting for “the dream” could possibly hint at his band Dream Street, which he was a part of before going solo. In fact, his message on the board (“Don’t rave ever at my school – Turtle” point to Dream St when you take the first letters of each of them.
When it comes to Joey McIntyre, the clues could possibly add up a bit toward the former New Kids on The Block member. Turtle has previously mentioned taking things step by step, which is the name of a New Kids on the Block song.
Joey’s band member Donnie Wahlberg could point to the burger clue since he’s the owner of Wahlburgers. Wahlburger’s wife, Jenny McCarthy is a judge on the show and thinks the burger clue points to the person behind the turtle mask knowing Donnie.
The Masked Singer also sent a tweet to Joey about the Turtle on Valentine’s Day, which is interesting but could be because the judges were leaning toward guessing Joey at the time.
Last week, The Masked Singer tweeted out a poll about the panel’s guesses for Turtle, and the majority of voters thought the panel was wrong in their guesses of Kevin Richardson, Nick Carter and Justin Guarini.
