Goldfish Not Returning to Music, But Loved Swimming to ‘Masked Singer’ Win: ‘I Will Always Have It in My Back Pocket’

Vanessa Hudgens talked about winning season 11 of 'The Masked Singer' as Goldfish on Wednesday (May 22), but said she's not returning to music.

The singer, who released two albums on Hollywood Records early in her career, showed off her performance chops throughout by expertly ruling the stage in the peach-colored costume with a towering mohawk and diaphanous gills. The flawless march kept going with a showstopping run through Nat King Cole’s “ Unforgettable ” — which again showed off her impressive range — as well as last week’s fierce rumble through Alanis Morissette’s “ You Oughta Know ” that had Robin Thicke jumping on the judges’ table for a standing ovation. Billboard spoke to Hudgens before her elimination about why this was the right time to dip back into singing, how she managed to move like such a pro in her costume, and why her “witch” powers were the key to giving the expectant first-time mom something special to share with her baby.
