"In my career, I've been totally used to being anonymous. Seriously, there have been times I could have been on the street surrounded by people, but nobody would have had any idea who I am.

Badger then added the clue: "I see things like a virtual world."

And after they sang Kelly Clarkson's 'Because of You', it only fuelled fans' theories Ne-Yo is behind the mask as he has a song of the same name!
