Welcome to "the masked singer."
It's the group c premiere and our final contenders of season 11 are here
To fight and win the ultimate prize, the golden mask trophy.
- Yeah! - Tonight,
Four masked superstars are hitting the stage
With songs by multi-grammy award-winning artist,
- Kennedy center honoree... - Yeah.
..And rock 'n' roll hall of famer billy joel.
- Billy! Billy! - Yes! Whoo!
Nick: All right, y'all know the rules.
The masked celebrities will sing, we'll vote,
And the bottom two will duke it out in a smackdown...
- Ken: Yes. - ...That will decide who's moving out
At the end of the night.
All right, our first singer of the night
Is always looking on the bright side of life.
Let's see who it is.
Poodle moth.
- Poodle moth? - What does that mean?
- What even is that? - ( buzzing )
( music playing )
- ♪ she is frequently kind - oh, my gosh!
- That's what a poodle moth looks like. - Oh, my god. So cute.
♪ she's nobody's fool
♪ and the most she will do is throw shadows at you ♪
- I'm very confused. - ♪ but she's always a woman to me ♪
- ♪ mm-hmm-hmm - graceful, elegant, already in character.
- Maybe an actress. - Am I dreaming?
- Poodle moth. - Yeah!
- Oh, it's so cute. - All right, poodle moth.
- Whoo! - Good to see you.
What famous face is hiding under this mask, you ask?
Well, let's dig into some clues to see.
If you're like me, you're probably wondering what a poodle moth is.
And would you believe only one has ever been found in the world?
Luckily, getting discovered once is all you need.
For my entire life, I was drawn to the flame.
But I always felt like the bright lights were never meant for me.
I told myself I was never going to be pretty enough
Or funny enough or talented enough to actually make it.
- Could be a country singer. - So I took a step back
And helped others achieve their dreams.
And while I love that, I desperately wanted to spread my own wings.
- American flag? Okay. - Maybe "american idol"?
But if I could just take that first step,
The light I thought was so impossible to find would be one step closer.
So I took the leap and I was discovered.
It showed me that I am one of a kind, and like billy says,
"you're perfect just the way you are."
- Yeah! That's right! - That's right!
Ain't that the truth?
♪ don't go changing
♪ to try to please me
- Oh! Oh, my god! - Oh!
♪ never let me down before
- ♪ mm-mm - whoo!
♪ I don't imagine
♪ you're too familiar
♪ and I don't see you anymore
- Yeah. - Gorgeous voice.
♪ I would not leave you
♪ in times of trouble
♪ we never could have come this far ♪
♪ mm-mm
♪ I took the good times
♪ I'll take the bad times
♪ I want you just the way you are ♪
Oh, I love the tone of her voice!
Beautiful.
♪ I need to know that you will ♪
♪ always be
♪ the same old someone that I knew ♪
♪ oh, what will it take
♪ till you believe in me
♪ the way that I believe in you? ♪
- Whoo! - Wow.
♪ you know I--
♪ I don't want clever
♪ conversation
♪ I never want to work that hard ♪
- ♪ mm-mm - ( sighs )
♪ I just want someone
♪ that I can talk to
♪ I want you just
♪ the way you are
- Wow. Wow. - Yes! Yes.
- Wow! Who is that? - Wow. Outstanding.
Panel, talk to the poodle moth.
That was one of the best vocals I've ever, ever heard.
- Wow. - Stop it!
- Wow. High praise. - Oh!
It was so graceful and so hypnotic.
And then I kept looking at you
And it was half poodle and half moth.
And I was like, "let me just close my eyes
Because the voice and the thing, it's not making sense."
But that was just such an unbelievable performance.
Oh! Thank you.
All right, let's get a clue, shall we?
- Ken: Yes. - Ooh!
♪ because you had to be a big shot ♪
- Uh-oh. - What?
♪ you had to open up your mouth ♪
- Oh! - I got it.
♪ you had to be a big shot
- ( laughs ) - ( groans )
- Nick: Is that the clue? - "opry."
- Grand ole opry! - Opry!
It's the most famous theater in nashville.
Yeah, I felt like a big shot
When I performed at the grand ole opry.
- Wow. - That's amazing.
Nick: That giving you guys any clues?
Well, yeah, the grand ole opry, nashville.
I'm thinking country singer.
And I think the cowboy hat
Could relate to this famous singer's husband,
'cause he's a famous cowboy.
- Garth brooks. - Oh.
I'm thinking this could be trisha yearwood.
- Nice. - Great guess.
So, I went down the country route, too, you know?
I thought, okay, well, who's performed at the opry?
And she's a published author. There was a book there.
Could be a good guess-- winona judd!
- ( gasps ) - wow.
- You know what? Winona can sing. - Who knows?
- Let me show you how it's done. - Okay, go on, ken.
The poodle moth is rita wilson. I'll tell you why.
- Rita wilson? - Here's the connection. Six candles.
This is the biggest clue. Rita wilson has a song called "fire."
And she has another called "spark."
- I'm lost, ken. - And if you put fire and spark together,
That is the heat equivalent units of six candles!
Look it up. It's basic chemistry.
- We-- - did they teach you that in medical school?
- The heat equivalent units. - Wait, wait.
He's a doctor and a scientist!
As sir joel once said, "we didn't start the fire
Because rita wilson is fanning the flames."
Well, there it is.
Y'all keep it going for poodle moth.
Poodle moth, you can fly on backstage.
Men in black, they'll be your wingmen.
- So cute! So cute! - She's adorable.
- I love her! - But...
♪ we love her just the way
- ♪ she is - that's right.
♪ who is that?
It's billy joel night here on "the masked singer."
Our next newcomer of the night is here,
And they're right on time. Come on out!
- Clock. - Ooh, clock.
( music playing )
( ticking, tolling )
( chiming, cuckoos )
- ( ticking continues ) - wow!
( alarm ringing )
- ♪ whoa-oh-oh-oh - yes!
- Oh, my god, I love it. - ♪ for the longest
Oh, this is obviously a queen of some sort, the way she walks.
- Yes. - ♪ there may still be music left to write ♪
- It's so glamorous. - ♪ what else could I do?
- Fantasy. - ♪ I'm so inspired by you
- I'm getting diva vibes. - Yeah.
- ♪ for the longest time - hickory, dickory dock.
- Wow. - Wow.
It is the clock.
Here are some clues about this ticking sensation.
I'm delighted being here on billy joel night,
Because let's face it, we're both timeless.
Once upon a time, I was the belle of the ball.
- Disco? - Oh, my favorite.
This could be a disco legend.
I had the whole world dancing from dusk till dawn.
Everyone knew my name.
But as the years passed, trends started to change
And I suddenly felt like I was becoming frozen in time.
So this queen reinvented herself,
And I achieved massive success again on my own terms,
With the crowing achievement of performing for a president.
- Performing for a president? - Oh, wow.
Now, like the piano man says,
I'm gonna sing you a song tonight.
So all you other singers better watch out
Because your time's about to be up!
I bet she's gonna be good. Stiff competition on this show.

- Nick: Wow. - Yes!
We just witnessed greatness.
Wow! I have a message to all the other contestants on this show.
It is time to be scared!
'cause this queen has arrived on "the masked singer."
Thank you so much.
All right, well, it is definitely time for a clue.
Men in black, I believe you guys have something special prepared for this one.
The song's the clue. Take it away.
( playing piano )
- Whoa. - Guys.
- Wow. - One of billy joel's many hits.
It's "vienna."
Clock, what can you tell us about this clue?
Well, "vienna" is all about seizing the day.
- All: Seizing the day. - Yes.
And I actually have a day
In my name.
- What? - Oh, okay.
We are in presence-- I knew it. Icon, icon.
You know, there's a song called "365 days in a year"
From an icon, a queen, a legend.
- Uh-huh. - Her name's anita baker.
- Oh, that would be amazing. - Right?
- I think I'm on to something. - I think you are.
It's time everyone knows how great I am at this.
- It's starts now. - Yes. Yes.
- It starts and ends right here, jenny. - It starts--
- now.
- It's anita baker! - Yes! Good guess.
You know, the disco clue
Is really what's guiding me right now.
And I'm trying to place the voice.
She's one of the great disco soul singers of all time.
I'm gonna go with evelyn "champagne" king.
Oh! That's a great guess.
Honestly, this to me feels like this is diana ross.
- No way. - Yeah, because she has her own day.
I should know. It's like I have ken jeong day.
- Yeah. - It's-- let me finish.
- Gold globe, golden globe. - Yeah.
Diana ross won for "lady sings the blues."
Also the baby clue.
♪ baby love, my baby love
- Could you imagine? - Well, you know what? You can sing?
- I'll sing it, too. - Do it.
♪ baby love, my baby love
- Sing it, ken. - Yeah, ken.
- Well done, ken. - Thank you.
But, nick, do you think it's diana ross?
- I mean, it's diana ross, nick. - No.
Back me up, daddy.
You're my biological father. This is a biological clock.
- Help me out. - It's a biological clock?
Well, whoever you are, we had an amazing time tonight.
- Thank you, clock. - You're amazing.
Wonderful job. Y'all make some noise
For the sensational clock one more time.

Buongiorno, tutti!
It's a-me, spaghetti & meatballs.
( broad italian accent ) throughout my career,
I've worn many different hats,
Searching for a life that's a-full of flavor.
I don't know about you, but for me the accent sounds very real.
I started out on wall street chasing the almighty dollar.
But when it started to feel a little bit stale,
I raced after the dough instead in a whole new industry.
Oh, look, there's a sports car.
And eventually I mastered
The secret recipe to success.
The biggest lesson I've learned?
You don't want to die young in a path you don't love.
So spice-a things up. The pasta-bilities are endless.
Now I'm here at "the masked singer" with a billy joel special.
A mangia, mangia!
It could be a chef or it could be someone that plays a chef.
- Yep. - Very true.
Or it could just be someone who loves food.
- Someone who loves food. - I love food.
I love food.

But that's not the real me.
And despite some of my better known hits,
I tend to see people for who they are on the inside,
Like when I met the love of my life.
She was the definition of an uptown girl,
And this downtown daredevil was smitten.
- Lollipop. - He's a heartthrob.
Years later, though,
She was fed up with my superstar shenanigans,
And she threatened to walk out that door.
- Crab! Like bobby brown. - Yeah.
That's when I had a premonition.
I told her I thought she was pregnant,
And it turns out she was.
I promised right then to change my ways.
Now my whole world is all about
Being a good husband and a cool dad.

And then my man lizard came out
And he was grooving a little bit,
But I think he was still just trying to make sure he sang the song.
And then he just said, "okay, forget this.
I'm just gonna show y'all what I can do."
- Yeah, yeah, yes. - I-- I know that voice.
- You know that voice? - Ooh, I know that voice, too.
