Candace Cameron Bure acts, directs, and produces but had never sung for an audience—until this week’s “The Masked Singer.” The entertainer, an outspoken Christian, performed in the March 26 episode of Fox’s popular reality competition.
Donning a pink Cherry Blossom costume, Bure sang “Let’s Get Loud” by Jennifer Lopez. No one on the celebrity panel—including Bure’s one-time “crush,” Robin Thicke—correctly identified the “Full House” star.

Bure, 48, described her “Masked Singer” appearance as “the scariest thing I’ve ever done.” But afterward she posted that the experience was “SO. MUCH. FUN.” The actor also admitted being “super bummed out” to be the first singer eliminated from her contestant group.

Candace Cameron Bure Finally Said Yes to ‘The Masked Singer’
After her performance, Bure revealed she had turned down three previous requests to appear on the show. Finally, she decided she just needed to “get it over with,” she said. “It’s kind of like when someone keeps knocking at the door, and you keep turning them away. You finally open it up to kind of get rid of them!”
Bure had been reluctant to try “The Masked Singer” because she has “more of a perfectionist personality,” she said. “So I know if I’m not very good at something, I don’t want to do it.” However, her family kept encouraging her to give it a try.
“I always tell my kids that if…they have an opportunity but it scares them that they should do it, because it’s a learning opportunity and you can build confidence from it,” said the married mother of three. “I think I needed to take my own advice, so I finally said yes.”
Looking back on her performance, Bure said, “I was brave to do it, and I’m proud of myself for that very reason.” The actor admitted that “competitiveness kicks in once you’re on the show,” and she wishes her time on it had lasted “a bit longer.”
Cherry Blossom Character ‘Represents Rebirth’
Bure, a former co-host on “The View,” is chief creative officer for Great American Family. In a voiceover on “The Masked Singer,” she explained that her Cherry Blossom character “represents rebirth, a changing of seasons, which is why it’s perfect for me.” She added, “It’s important for this Cherry Blossom to branch out and have a little fun.”
