Statue of Liberty, a road sign for Indiana Ave, “Made in Milwaukee,” the dolls in a subway and the busy streets of New York were included in their clue package. The judges thought Jonas Brothers, Hanson or Boyz II Men could be the ones under the mask.
The Crab then performed “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins, while his clue package saw the Brooklyn Bridge, a rainbow, a violin and a Jack of clubs. Panelist thought he could be Ray Parker Jr., Flavor Flav or Keith Sweat. Later, the Seashell took the stage to sing Tiffany‘s version of “I Think We’re Alone Now”.
