I highly doubt, her performance would have garnered this many views, without the hook of anonymity. As well as the fact that its Ariana Grande shes covering which to me explains the hits as well.

That would be quite funny. We have commented before that she would be #2, but now we see that she is expected to finish in that position makes it seem ordained.
As the Avis ads used to say, #2, "we try harder" (or something like that)

I never had an expectation that Jackie could actually win first place. As more and more people realize it really may be her, the less likely they will be to support her in a head to head comparison (vote) to a known rapper (Bow Wow). Having said that, I believe this showing will greatly expand her name awareness to the target demographic she is hoping to impress. It’s been a very good vehicle for Jackie to reintroduce herself to the general public and to showcase her incredible talent. It remains to be seen if it will translate into the success and recognition she desires.

Hopefully, this show will greatly increase Jackie’s profile with her desired audience. She could not have chosen a more perfect vehicle to exhibit her talents, while avoiding the stigma of being type cast as that “ Voice of an Angel” girl. I highly doubt, her performance would have garnered this many views, without the hook of anonymity. You actually had two different descriptions there of the benefit of anonymity: "avoiding the stigma" and "hook" (I take the latter to be gimmick, or in this case the element of mystery). While the latter helps, I suspect that combined with a more lively persona, it's the former that will help most - by getting past people's preconceptions. edit: at any rate, it seems likely that's what she thinks, which might affect what she does with it.

There are rumors on an unofficial Masked Singer fan page that frog was leaked as the winner (t-shirt with frog+previous years winners which was only seen for a little while before disappearing, plus maybe someone that attended a taping spilled the beans).
People are now speculating about 2nd and 3rd place. :-)

There is a sound engineer in New York (Joey Contino).. after every performance he audio corrects the pitch and speed of each performer. He then sorts through the all the clues and gives spoiler alert unmaskings of who he feels each performer is. He is the one that spotted the past winners “merch” error showing Bow Wow as the season 3 winner. He has yet to unmask Jackie. He only does one per week.

It looks like there are three shows left. Does anyone know how the eliminations work from here? Will there be any eliminations on Wednesday? You're right. There are only three more episodes. I couldn't find the rules for the final, but I suppose, they reduce from 9 to 6 to 3. tvline.com/2020/03/30/the-masked-singer-season-3-video-finale-sing-along-special/"the Season 3 finale, with the top three singing celebs getting unmasked, is now set to air Wednesday, May 27" As well as the fact that its Ariana Grande shes covering which to me explains the hits as well. Taylor Swift is at least as popular, and her cover of Blank Space has about 1/4 as many hits. So? Safe & Sound has 2.3m.

Hes barely talked about Kitty.

On his latest you tube Joey Contino says he will do his unmasking of Kitty this Friday. Kitty is the only one of the nine finalists that he is yet to reveal. Intentional or not, this delay in talking about who Kitty may be, has certainly been beneficial to Jackie. The hits on her Dangerous Woman performance are running about 20,000 views a day and are well over a million now. Depending on her performances over the next few weeks she may stay unmasked until the end of May’s final show. Will her YouTube hits continue at the current pace, if more and more people believe it’s Jackie?

Song: It's All Coming Back to Me Now (original recording by Pandora's Box, best known version by Celine Dion)
I won't mention the clues yet for those on the west coast...but they FIT, big time.
