During The Masked Singer in Space Night, Dandelion was finally unmasked.

It’s no small feat to make a debut singing Judy Garland’s seminal hit “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” from the groundbreaking and beloved classic movie The Wizard of Oz. Not only does she take the challenge head-on, but she absolutely nails it and makes it her own. This is the magic of The Masked Singer — no matter who’s under the mask, we love hearing these amazing performances.

During The Masked Singer in Space Night, Dandelion performed "Starlight" by Muse.

WB Movie Night:

Clue: Billboards. "These heels were made for performing. TV, movies, concerts and even charting next to Olivia Rodrigo."

Voiceover clue: "My life has always felt kind of like a movie. The Wizard of Oz, to be exact. Like Judy Garland, I started my career when I was just a kid. I’ve worked with all the greats: Madonna, Flea, Sir Elton John. The living and the dead. But the way I am, I was restless for a home. A place to play my keys. So, I put down roots, in a musical city. Sadly, much like the Wizard of Oz, a devastating twister hit my home. But just like dandelions growing through the cracks in the concrete, I rebuilt. I learned no matter what, there’s always sunshine after the rain. Which is why I’m so excited to sing this song tonight."

The Masked Singer in Space Night:

Clue: Space star. "Are you ready for another spicy clue? The theme tonight is perfectc for me because I have plenty of experience with space."

Voiceover clue: "I had such a blast performing in this incredibly beautiful mask. Being on stage was nothing short of magic. But, there will be two new singers tonight who could get in the way. My challenge will be to connect with people through my music. Luckily, I have my beautiful dog to help me. He’s the only one who knows me by my voice. So I hope he doesn’t give away any secrets. I’m thrilled to go to outer space tonight. Space is meaningful to me because it showed me early what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. But it can get chilly in space, so here’s a clue that can make you feel all warm and cozy. Did that help?"

Who is Dandelion on The Masked Singer? Costume clues

It’s always hard to figure out who might be under a mask. Sometimes the costumes provide clues and other times the costumes manage to throw you off completely. Dandelion is wearing a green bodysuit with a tulle skirt that makes her body look like a flower stem, but it’s her crown that captures our attention. Her “mask” is an intricate web of white fluff, making her look like a real dandelion. 

Only this Dandelion isn’t a weed. She might actually be a legend in disguise. 

Dandelion has a gorgeous, ornate costume that’s stunning to look at, but we have to wonder if the white cloud of feathery Dandelion puff is significant. Some early guesses from fans suggest that Dandelion could be Diana Ross, and Ross is known for her beautiful hair that frames her face. Could it be the legendary Diana Ross under the Dandelion mask?

Who is Dandelion on The Masked Singer? Guesses

Panelists had a variety of guesses as to Dandelion's identity, including Zooey Deschanel, Emmy Rossum and Reese Witherspoon. During The Masked Singer in Space Night, Ken Jeong added a guess of Alicia Witt while new guesses included Sara Bareilles and Milla Jovovich. 

Early fan guesses include Diana Ross and Vanessa Williams. And let's just say that they're both great guesses. 

The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on Fox.
