Sparks had previously danced to “Rush,” by Lewis Capaldi feat. Ken Jeong thought it was another “Idol” contestant, Jennifer Hudson Brian Austin Green guessed model Ashley Graham and guest panelist Mayim Bialik thought it was Eve. “It’s the first of many songs that are going to be coming out this year,” Sparks said.Īmong the panelists, while Abdul figured out that it was Sparks, Ashley Tisdale joined her in guessing Sparks as well. Sparks hopes to take advantage of the “Masked Dancer” exposure to promote her new single, “You Still Think of Me,” which she wrote with Lisa Goe, Savvy Giersch and Marc David Schneider. I didn’t really tell anybody else so I’m excited because tonight I’m sure I’m going to get a barrage of texts from my family because I didn’t even tell them that I was doing it.” “I’ve been waiting so long to talk about this. It was nice to be around the buzz and the hubbub of being in a workspace again.”īeyond her son and husband, Sparks kept her “Masked Dancer” stint a secret. “And it was really nice to be around people to be honest, like, even though we couldn’t talk. “It was so nice to be able to get out of the four walls of my house and just see a different space,” she said. She also saw “Masked Dancer” as an opportunity to perform again, after having spent most of the year at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He was very instrumental in inspiring me to go, and my husband as well.” Sparks said she also was inspired by her son, who’s about to turn 3, to do it: “I wanted to show him that I can do things even if they scare me. And so, I wanted to do the show and I said yes because I want to do this and prove to myself that I can take on challenges and take on things, even if they scare me a little bit.”
Everybody was encouraging me to do it and then I realized that I was the person telling me that I couldn’t. But with dancing, it was a little bit nerve racking. “Give me a microphone and I’m good to go. “It’s not my bread and butter,” she said. When “The Masked Dancer” opportunity came up, Sparks said she hesitated since she’s not known for dance. And it was interesting, because Tori Kelly is one of our good friends, too. “Every week, I was bombarded with texts like ‘we know that it’s you.’ And because I love the show I didn’t tell them, I never confirmed or denied it. “I can’t tell you how many times my friends thought I was the Seahorse,” Sparks said. Sparks noted that during Season 4 of “The Masked Singer,” many fans thought the Seahorse was her (ultimately, it turned out to be Tori Kelly).
