Raccoon first took the stage during the season premiere and made a serious impression on the judges — not with his voice, but with his wild personality. “I loved it because he didn’t follow script so you’re on the edge of your seat,” noted Robin after watching the sheriff rodent’s initial performance of “Wild Thing” by The Troggs. “And that’s entertainment at its finest.” Re-watch Raccoon’s performance right now.
Here is how Raccoon describes himself in his own words: “Sometimes to get the happy ending you have to go through hell first. In my darkest days, I faced death. Desperate to stay sane, I recited my favorite story, ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame.’ I was Quasimodo, locked away. Only difference is that he was innocent, and I was actually a monster. I promised God that if I got a second chance in life, I’d only do good. And I’m still fulfilling that promise to this day.” Do YOU think he’ll be unmasked on Wednesday night?
