I love doing fun things like this.
I forget when I got the first call onDancing with the Stars.
I was hesitant on that one.
It took me up to season 4 to go, oh lets do it.
With this one, I was like its fun, its in costume.
At first, I didnt know 100 percent what I was getting myself into.
What actually is the competition about?
Were not trying to win a million dollars.
Its nothing like that.
Thats something that appealed to me.
Did you specifically pick the rabbit?There were two drawings that were sent to me.
An alien, which was not the one you saw that was worn by LaToya Jackson.
It was completely different.
And there was concept art for the rabbit.
They were limited in time because they already had 10 people cast on the show.
I was like, the rabbit is pretty cool, its crazy.
It has a Donny Darko vibe with a straight jacket.
It looked easy to move in, at least.
Was it?Well the movement for my legs was somewhat easy.
However, the top part was not!
Then, they literally locked me in the jacket.
It legitimately had locks on it and I had a spare key with me in my pocket.
Then I was wearing another layer, as well.
I had the monitor in my ears.
Not to get too graphic, but if I had to pee, very easy.
The whole costume would have to come off, no doubt about it.
Would you get overheated?For a couple of rehearsals, I would wear a hood and mask.
That was hot in general because you were singing into your face.
There was a shield, almost like a welders mask that would come down.
And I tied the hoodie really tight, so you wouldnt see underneath it.
I wore this white mask that went around my chin and over my head, and then the shield.
I literally wanted to yank that damn hood off afterwards.
People were like, no no no!
There were still other people around rehearsing.
There were two or three people with fans and water.
The hardest part was getting water because my neck was tucked into the fur of the jacket.
During the actual show, I had to wait until after the performance and for the backstage interviews.
I was in that costume for about 45 minute sometimes, just dying.
I can only imagine what everybody else was feeling.
Which one of your songs did you enjoy performing the best?All of them!
I had a blast with every single one.
They were all different types that I would not normally sing.
People always ask, whats my staple song when I go to karaoke.
I like doing My Girl.
In fact the reason I did My Girl at the end was because people figured out it was me.
Thats why I did Livin La Vida Loca.
Same thing with Isnt She Lovely.
Did anyone correctly guess you?Everybody correctly guessed me from day one.
I just denied, denied, denied!
I felt bad, I had to apologize to everybody who I lied to.
Would you be willing to convince others to do this show?Im sure I would.
Ive already had people say, ah man, I would love to do that show.
Its not for the faint for heart.
Its a lot of sweating.
If you are claustrophobic, thats probably not a costume you want to be in.
Who knows what other costumes theyll do.
I do keep yelling at them that I want to be a judge, though.
It looks like fun.
The two-hour finale ofThe Masked Singerwill air from 8 to 10 p.m. Feb. 26 on Fox.
