Who is Ship on The Masked Singer season 12? Clues

Show clues are so important when trying to guess who's under a mask. Take a look at Ship's clues below:

Footloose Night Clues: 

Clue: Melissa Etheridge, Whoopi Goldberg, Kevin Bacon "I’m three degrees away from kevin bacon. I’m connected to Melissa Etheridge, who is connected to Whoopi Goldberg, who starred in Destination Anywhere with Kevin Bacon."

Voiceover Clue: "Like the lyrics of Footloose say, everybody kick off their Sunday shoes. Easy right? Well, not when you’re a ship in a boot. In high school, I was a star cheerleader, class president and was even voted prom queen. So when I injured my foot and the doctor said I had to sit on the sidelines for a whole year, my heart sank. My frustration led me to the family’s piano. Where I’d sit and play for hours on end. It was my therapy. I channeled my sorrow, my joy, my expression. Music became my paradise. And it’s been a healing source since. Now, the good news is, the only boots I’m wearing these days are leather. And made for dancing. And tonight, I feel like I’m knocking on heaven’s door."

Who Can It Be Now Night clues: 

Masked Ambassador: Jewel

Ambassador Voiceover: "I was surprised at how much depth there was to the competition beneath the surface. And that’s something that I think will serve someone who I always had a great relationship with. The Ship."

"That’s exactly why I think you should do this. To steer toward your fears head on, just like we did all those years ago together. And if you do that, I know that you’ll be unsinkable."

Ship Voiceover: "I know how quickly the tides can change. From angry to serene on a dime. And my life has been the same. My career set sail at a rapid clip. I had massive hits, made history but I lost control. I became lost at sea and at times felt totally forgotten. It’s taken me years to find my way back to shore. But I finally got the career I’ve always wanted. And that’s why being here is so scary. Because once again, I’m in uncharted waters."

Gift Clue: Glittery cowboy hat

The Masked Singer season 12 airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on Fox and streams the following day on Hulu.
