Candace Cameron Bure Unmasked as Cherry Blossom in The Masked Singer Season 13
In a surprising twist during the Carnival Night episode of The Masked Singer Season 13, actress Candace Cameron Bure was revealed to be the Group C contestant Cherry Blossom. The episode featured returning host Nick Cannon and panelists Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora. Bure’s unveiling came after she delivered an impressive performance of Jennifer Lopez’s “Let’s Get Loud,” leaving the panelists baffled as none could guess her identity prior to the reveal.
A Challenging Decision to Participate
Candace shared that she turned down the opportunity to join The Masked Singer three times before ultimately agreeing to participate in the current season. “I had a great time on the show. It was so scary for me to do,” she explained. “I’m really glad that I said yes.” Bure expressed a desire to continue beyond the first round, admitting she cherished her time as Cherry Blossom. “I loved being Cherry Blossom. I really wish that I could’ve made it through another week,” she said.
Reflecting on her experience, Bure noted that her children were her biggest supporters. “When I told my kids that I was gonna do The Masked Singer, my daughter was such a cheerleader for me,” she mentioned.
Choosing ‘Let’s Get Loud’ for Carnival Night
Candace selected "Let’s Get Loud" for her performance because it was vocally manageable for her, reducing the anxiety of singing on live television. “I felt like it hit in my sweet spot, and I could perform it and not crash and burn,” she remarked. This comfort was further aided by the design of her Cherry Blossom costume, which allowed for ease of movement in contrast to traditional, cumbersome outfits.
A Connection to Bob Saget
During her time on the show, Candace paid tribute to her late Full House co-star Bob Saget, who had previously competed on The Masked Singer. She fondly recalled recognizing Saget’s voice when he appeared on the series. “I didn’t even know… I knew it was Bob. I started screaming,” she said. “He’s one of the most dear people in my life and will always be.” This emotional connection added depth to her experience on the show, especially as Saget was a guiding figure in her life and career.
Future Aspirations and Growth
Bure expressed that her recent experiences might open new doors for her, including the possibility of one day performing on Broadway. “I dreamed about it. I don’t know that I would have the confidence to do it,” she commented. Despite her apprehensions, she remains excited about pushing boundaries in her career.
When asked about potential candidates for The Masked Singer, she mentioned her Full House co-star John Stamos as a great choice, given his Broadway background. She also expressed keen interest in seeing Kristin Chenoweth, a fellow Hallmark co-star, join the competition due to her unique vocal talent.
Looking Ahead
Candace Cameron Bure’s appearance as Cherry Blossom marked a significant chapter for her in both the realms of entertainment and self-discovery. “There was just so much growth in that experience,” she reflected regarding her time on the show. As the season progresses, fans can look forward to more performances from various contestants. The Masked Singer continues to air Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EDT on FOX.
With Bure’s unmasking, the episode not only captured a memorable moment but also served as a poignant reminder of the late Bob Saget, while sparking discussions about personal growth and future prospects in the entertainment industry.
