1. SOUNDBITE (English) JoJo Siwa, recording artist: -on Lady Gaga’s influence
"Before I was gay, I always said, if I ever meet Gaga, I’m going to tell her this was when I was nine. I was like, ‘I’m going to tell Lady Gaga that I think I’m gay.’ Because I felt safe with her, even though I didn’t know her, still don’t know her. She always felt safe. And I mean, years later, I came out to ‘Born This Way’ and as my finale on ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ Like, I don’t know if I would shit my pants if I saw her, or cry, but probably both."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, actor/television personality – on what she appreciates about performance after judging on "The Masked Singer"
"First of all that it’s a lot harder than it looks, but also the amazing gift of second chances People that might have been like, ‘Oh, we haven’t heard from them in a while, or I didn’t know that they could sing all these different genres of music.’ I think just the expansion, but also the second chances is warmed in my heart. And I specifically love being on the show because we give flowers. We don’t give insults. Like, my soul can’t take that at this age. Like I just want to appreciate everyone in there, their guts and their bravery and their talent."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) BossMan DLow, recording artist: -on artist’s having to use TikTok to market new songs
"So to me, you sort of need social media so they can know you before you get there, you know what I’m saying? So without that you have to do the manual labor to get out and really push the music so I wouldn’t say I have a problem with that. You need social media"
