SPOILER ALERT: Don’t worry, you haven’t watched “The Masked Singer” Season 11, Episode 3, “Billy Joel Evening,” which aired March 20 on Fox.
In a Fox reality crossover, “MasterChef” pick Joe Bastianich was revealed as the singer under the Spaghetti & Meatballs costume on this week’s episode of “The Masked Singer.” And by coincidence, the owner of the restaurant appeared on “Billy Joel Evening” – and the Piano Man is a friend.
“I grew up on Long Island in the 70s and 80s,” Bastianich said. Selection. “That was the soundtrack of that period. Some of the greatest songs ever written. I have known Billy Joel personally since his childhood and as a customer in every restaurant. I hope he can see it!
For Bastianich, none of the panelists were adequately paid. Robin Thicke guessed Stanley Tucci. Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg stated Man Fieri. Ken Jeong chose Bobby Flay. New speaker Rita Ora has closed, naming Bastianich’s “MasterChef” co-star Gordon Ramsay.
“I had a head that was a little big like al dente spaghetti, so a little strong in my dance moves,” Bastianich said of his talent. “But beyond that, it’s a very mobile fantasy. I used to be very comfortable… I’m a singer and songwriter. You can check me out on Spotify, and I play a lot of music. So being in the Fox family, when they asked me to come back and showcase my experience, I was excited to do it. That was a little intimidating, but a tremendous experience.”
Spaghetti & Meatballs and Lizard were the two lowest votes of the night, and they went head to head in the showdown – both singing Billy Joel’s “Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Tune).” Spaghetti & Meatballs were eliminated, leaving Lizard, Poodle Moth, and Clock to return for the next round.
Joe Bastianich as Spaghetti & Meatballs joins Savannah Chrisley (Afghan Hound) and Kevin Hart (Book) as the unmasked celebrities on “The Masked Singer” this season.
As a result, it was “Billy Joel Evening”, Thicke opened the show with his version of the Piano Man hit “My Life”.
Returning for season 11 are host Nick Cannon, alongside panelists Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong and Robin Thicke, while Rita Ora joined the table to replace Nicole Scherzinger, who was in London to star in West Finish’s “Sundown Boulevard.” .
The 11th season of “The Masked Singer” will feature themed episodes, including “The Wizard of Oz”, in celebration of the classic film’s 85th anniversary; “Transformers” (marking the brand’s 40th anniversary) and musical tributes including “Billy Joel Night” and “Queen Evening”. Other themes include “Woman Teams”, “Soundtrack of My Life”, “TV Theme Evening” and “Bathe Anthems”.
Featuring sixteen famous singers, including three “wild cards,” Season 11 features new costumes including “Gumball,” “Lizard,” “Ugly Sweater,” “Goldfish,” “Starfish,” “Book,” “Gumball,” “Miss Cleocatra”, “Afghan Hound”, “Beet”, “Poodle Moth”, “Clock”, “Spaghetti and Meatballs” and “Lizard”.

Poodle Moth
Tuning: “Just the Way You Are” by Billy Joel
Panel Assumptions: Trisha Yearwood, Wynonna Judd, Rita Wilson
Tip: Baseball that states “Opry”. “I felt great after performing at the Grand Ol Opry.”
Package voiceover: “If you’re like me, you’re probably wondering what a Moth Poodle is. You would imagine that only one has ever been discovered on the planet. Fortunately, being found as quickly as possible is all you want. All my life I have been drawn to the flame. But I always felt like the bright lights were never meant for me. I told myself I would never be enough, nor good-natured enough, nor proficient enough to truly win. So I took a step again and helped other people achieve their goals. And although I enjoyed that, I desperately wanted to spread my own wings. But if I could just take the first step, the light I thought was so impossible to find would be one step closer. So, I took the leap. And I used to be found. This confirmed to me that I am unique. And like Billy says, you’re good, just the way you are.”
Clockwork, “The Masked Singer” (Michael Becker/Fox)
Father Pete
Clock
Tuning: “Piano Man” by Billy Joel

Package voiceover: “I’m very happy to be here on Billy Joel night. Because let’s face it, we are both timeless. Back in the day, I was the belle of the ball. I made the whole world dance from dusk until dawn. Everyone knew my title. However, as the years went by, trends started to change, and out of nowhere, I felt like I was frozen in time. So, this queen reinvented herself. And I achieved great success once again, sentences alone. With the greatest achievement of acting for a president. Now, just like the Pianist said, I’m going to sing you a song tonight. So all you other singers be careful. Because your time is about to run out.
Spaghetti and Meatballs, “The Masked Singer” (Michael Becker/Fox)

Spaghetti and meatballs
Tuning: “Only the good die young” by Billy Joel

Tip: Large pizza field that says “Current Time”. “I spend a lot of my time on a successful gift.”
Package voiceover: “Throughout my career, I have worn many hats. Trying to find a life full of good taste. I started on Wall Street chasing the almighty dollar. But when everything started to get a little stale, I ran for the money instead of a whole new business. And ultimately, I mastered the key recipe for success. The biggest lesson I discovered? You don’t want to die younger on a path you don’t love. So, spice up the questions, the pastabilities are endless. Now I’m here on The Masked Singer with a Billy Joel special. Mango!”

Package voiceover: “Some people might label me a ladies’ man. The kind of dangerous kid in Billy Joel songs. But that’s not really me. And despite some of my best-known successes, I’m likely to see people for who they are on the inside. Like after I met the love of my life, she was the definition of an Uptown Woman. And this downtown daredevil was smitten. Years later, however, she was fed up with my famous antics. She threatened to walk out that door. This was after I had a premonition. I instructed her, I assumed she was pregnant. And it looks like she was. I promised at that moment to change my methods. Now my whole world revolves around being a great husband and a cool father. And what’s cooler than appearing in my family’s favorite gift? This downtown kid is about to reveal his problems.”
