The show celebrated the 40th anniversary of the beloved movie Footloose a couple of weeks ago. The contestants paid tribute to the iconic soundtrack that made the film a cultural phenomenon. The Showbird revealed herself as actress Yvette Nicole Brown. It’s amazing how many popular songs came from that movie that contestants sang.

This was followed by some amazing renditions of songs near and dear to the contestants. The panelists had a hard time guessing who these contestants were. A double elimination followed, with Woodpecker revealed as Marsai Martin and Ship as Paula Cole.
