“Dan from Dan + Shay for sure,” wrote one user on Instagram, referring to Dan Smyers of the country-pop duo. But it seemed that the majority of guesses were divided between two male artists of very different genres: David Archuleta and Ne-Yo.

“David Archuleta has such a signature voice, totally him! So good,” opined one fan. Another wrote: This is hands down @davidarchie! His high register is very distinct and of course, [I’ve] been listening to him since Idol.”

Then came the Ne-Yo camp: “This is Ne-Yo” and “Sounds like Ne-Yo,” read two comments.

A few users took to the comments to point out that while Macaw sounded like David or Ne-Yo, neither artist sang country.

So, who is Macaw on ‘The Masked Singer’? The answer is…

Macaw hasn’t been revealed on the show quite yet! We’ll be sure to update as soon as they are, though!
