Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg: Let's go, Season 11!
Nick Cannon: It's been the wildest season of "Masked Singer" yet.
No way!
And this is me up on you now.
Now only three masked celebrities remain.
Clock.
After all these years, Mama's still got it.
Gumball.
I'm here to win.
And Goldfish.
Goldfish: The gown, the gills, the glam.
This is everything.
By the end of the evening, we'll have our two finalists.
- Oh! - Yeah!
But, first, we're going under the mask
to check in with our top three celebrities.
What has this journey meant to them?
And I thought, maybe I just don't belong here.
All new revealing clues.
Who are you?
Along with brand-new heartfelt performances.
( all vocalizing )
Plus, the craziest behind-the-scenes moments.
And I'm really confused why I got kicked off.
What two celebrities will move on to the finale?
Wake me up when it's over.
And who...
Wow, this is big stuff.
...will be unmasked?
Oh!
♪ Who are you?
Who, who, who, who? ♪
Give it up for your top three!
Gumball!
Goldfish!
♪ I really wanna know
And Clock!
♪ Come on, tell me, who are you, you, you ♪
♪ Who are you?
Wow.
Welcome to "The Masked Singer."
It's the semi-finals night, and the stage is set
for an epic showdown
as these three masked celebrities get ready
to dazzle us all over again.
Only two can advance to the finale,
so before they face off,
we're gonna use this final chance
to really get to know the celebrities under the mask
and find out what this competition has meant to them.
Give it up for our top three.
We gonna get this party started right.
Now let's dive into the journey of Group A,
narrated by the glamorous Goldfish herself.
I've already told you that I've been in the public eye since a very young age.
So I loved the idea of becoming anonymous.
A small fish in a big pond.
The instant I put on the Goldfish mask,
I realized I'd get to show you all who I really am
without having to worry.
But being the first performer of season 11,
I knew I had to make a big splash.
( vocalizing )
♪ You said it was true love
♪ But wouldn't that be hard?
♪ You can't love anyone
♪ 'Cause that would mean you had a heart ♪
♪ I tried to help you out
♪ Now I know that I can't
♪ 'Cause how you think's the kind of thing ♪
♪ I'll never understand
What a way to open up season 11, right?
- Come on! - Yeah!
♪ Bleeding me dry like a damn vampire ♪
That first performance was absolutely insane.
It felt like I was channeling the power of the goldfish.
And I felt a wave of every emotion bubbling up to the surface.
And I was having so much fun.
But once I heard my competition, things got real.
♪ You're simply the best
Ugly Sweater had this soulful, buttery voice.
♪ Better than all the rest
The Starfish was adorable. And so freaking funny.
♪ You know that we are living
♪ In a material world
♪ And I am a material girl
Everyone immediately fell in love with Lovebird.
♪ Just know you're not alone
♪ 'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home ♪
And, Book? The wildest thing I've ever seen.
Totally unhinged.
♪ And I'm so sick of love songs ♪
♪ So sad and slow
♪ So why can't I turn off the radio? ♪
I can't handle it.
- By the way... - Wait, wait, wait!
...he turned out to be one of my favorite comedy heroes.
We're gonna come out, we bring everybody out.
- Oh. - Vote, deliberate.
Oh, let me-- I'm trying to see if I have
a little bit of care.
Because I don't care.
I was then so excited to move on to Transformers Night.
There were explosions, souped-up hot rods,
and even giant dancing robots.
And I took the opportunity to hit the stage
on a slower, smoother, sexier note.
♪ Baby, come back
♪ You can blame it all on me ♪
♪ I was wrong
♪ And I just can't live without you ♪
But my competitors continued to bring the heat.
♪ Let your heart sing and tonight ♪
And we met a cavalier new wild card--
Koala.
♪ Everybody
♪ Wants to rule the world
But after our first double elimination...
From "The Bachelor" and former NFL player...
- No way! - ...Colton Underwood!
- NFL Hall of Famer! - Oh!
DeMarcus Ware is in the building.
Suddenly there was double the pressure.
So once I made it into the Group A finals,
I realized, if I wanted to stay in this competition,
I was going to have to push myself
farther than I ever had planned to at the beginning.
♪ We are the champions
After stellar performances from my opponents,
it was time for me to be brave.
So for my most meaningful performance so far,
I channeled what I was feeling
in one of my darkest times of my life.
When someone close to me passed away
the night before my big debut.
♪ The show must go on
♪ Yeah, yeah
♪ The show must go on
♪ Ooh
It obviously was a very emotional time for me,
when I was on that stage.
pouring my whole heart into that song,
like I was singing directly to him.
When I won the night, I was a total mess.
Nick: Congratulations, Goldfish.
So emotional from my performance,
but I was so excited to move on.
Though it was sad to say goodbye to a fellow sea creature...
- Oh! - Oh!
Nick: Kate Flannery!
...and Ugly Sweater crocheted away.
Charlie Wilson!
- Oh! - Charlie Wilson: I had so much fun
with the Ugly Sweater.
I'm a handsome guy, but I had an ugly sweater on.
This brought me to the quarter finals,
where I was now up against the best of the best.
So in case this was the end for me,
I decided to strip it all back.
♪ Unforgettable
♪ In every way
♪ Oh
You said that you will remember this forever.
We will remember you forever after that performance.
Goldfish, congratulations, you're safe.
And it paid off because, well, now I'm here.
And I'm going to do everything in my power to keep performing
as this goddess Goldfish
and claim that golden mask as mine.
Ladies and gentlemen, this season, we welcomed
the fabulous Rita Ora to our panel.
Let's take a look at some delightful moments
from Rita's debut season on "The Masked Singer."
♪ I woke up in a Soho doorway ♪
♪ A policeman knew my name
The incredibly talented Rita Ora!
- Jenny: What? - Ken: Yeah!
Rita!
Is it everything you ever thought it could be?
Just ten times crazier.
Aah! Who are you?
Is Ken more annoying or funnier in person?
- It's like half-half. - Wacky, wacky, wacky.
I don't like this energy.
Turn him off!
And you know what's a treat for me? Is having you here, Rita.
Jenny! Don't make me cry.
♪ Well, who are you?
I was just looking at the kick. Unh. Unh.
( laughing )
Well, Rita, we love your aura.
Aww!
I've had the best time, and you guys have been so nice to me.
Thank you so much for being so welcoming.
I'm so happy to be here.
Bye!
Slow down! Kidding.
All right, y'all, now as we roll on to the semi-finals,
it's time to crank up the excitement.
- Y'all, ready? - ( cheers and applause )
Hitting the stage once again with an all-new performance,
it's Goldfish.
I have absolutely fallen head over heels in love with the Goldfish mask.
And with her help, I've found confidence
to completely let loose and become, like, this total rock star.
So here's a song dedicated to her,
because we're staying together all the way to the finale.
♪ I-I-I-I
♪ I'm so in love with you
♪ Whatever you wanna do
♪ Is all right with me
- ♪ 'Cause you - Jenny: Oh, my God!
Oh, my God, look how beautiful she is.
Ken: She's gorgeous.
♪ Brand-new
♪ I want to spend my whole life ♪
♪ With you
The vocals were incredible. She went for the high notes.
The crowd went crazy.
When it came to that performance, she "gilled" it.
♪ Since we've been together
♪ Ooh, loving you forever
♪ Is what I need
♪ Let me
♪ Be the one you come running to ♪
♪ I'll never be
♪ Untrue

That was really pretty.
♪ Let's

Goldfish, thank you for giving me my freedom.
Thank you for rocking out with me, for making magic.
And for pushing me outside of my comfort zone.
♪ Times are good or bad
♪ And happy or sad
Nick: Give it up for Goldfish.
We're on the brink of the semi-finals,
where just two singers will earn their ticket to the grand finale,
and one of them will be revealed tonight.
Still to come, we have all-new performances from Gumball and Clock,
and we'll learn more about their journeys under the mask.
Don't go anywhere.
♪ Who is that?
It was all a joke. A prank!
I took the costume off, and I threw it to the side.
Wait, what are you--
Yes! Yes!
I came on here to do exactly what I did.
All: Kevin! Kevin!
It was to seek and destroy.
Nick Cannon has been a thorn in my behind for so long.
Don't cheer for him!
This is the only thing that Nick has
that I haven't been able to get to.
Oh, I got you, Nick.
- What are you doing? - Oh, this is a prank!
Who has Teddy Pendergrass's number?
'Cause he wants his jacket back. Those times are over.
It was all a part of a vicious prank!
This is called a prank, and this is me up on you now,
Kevin Hart, one.
Nick Cannon, nothing. Mm!
( laughter )
♪ Who is that?
That is one book I will definitely not be re-reading.
But now it's time to go under the mask of Gumball
and see how he became our Group B champion.
Let's take a look.
I've watched "The Masked Singer" for years,
so, from the get-go, I knew I was going to be
up against some incredible singers.
And I instantly let that pressure
go right to my head under this giant Gumball mask.
So when I stepped on that stage for the first time,
it was fitting I was singing "Heartbeat"
because you should have felt mine.
♪ This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it ♪
♪ Been so long, I forgot how to turn it ♪
♪ Up, up, up, up all night long ♪
♪ Oh, up, up all night long ♪
You are gonna be one to beat in this competition.
- Yeah. - Amazing.
Hearing the crowd after that first performance,
I felt on top of the world.
Until I heard the rest of my group.
- ♪ Let me go home - ♪ Home
And then my heart sank.
The Beets sounded literally, un-beet-able.
♪ I can't go on
Miss Cleocatra's voice, it sent shivers down my spine.
( vocalizing )
And Afghan Hound had more fun on that stage
than all of us combined.
So when I landed in that smackdown against her,
I didn't know what to think.
- But in the end... - Gumball!
...I came out on top.
Reality star Savannah Chrisley!
- Robin: Oh! - Ken: No!
The level of talent in this group really woke me up.
And, I gotta say, if it weren't for my wife, I might have lost focus.
So for Girl Group Night, I dedicated my performance to her.
♪ Wide open spaces
- Yeah. - Wow.
♪ Room to make big mistakes
And the love I got from the panel was wild.
But the wildest part was the new addition
to our group, the Seal.
♪ Someday, somebody's gonna make you ♪
♪ Wanna turn around and say goodbye ♪
♪ Until then, baby
♪ Are you gonna let 'em hold you down and make you cry? ♪
And what makes this show more unpredictable
than any other show
is that his loveable charm
was the key to beating out a legendary diva.
- Take it off! - Cultural icon,
star of the hit show "Blackish," Jenifer Lewis!
I had a blast, darling.
Singing and getting back onstage
was the best thing I've ever done.
- See ya later, potatoes. - Man: Oh, yeah.
I couldn't believe I made it through to the Group B finals,
where I got to give my favorite performance of the season.
♪ Carry on, my wayward son
♪ There'll be peace when you are done ♪
♪ Lay your weary head to rest
♪ Don't you cry
♪ Don't you cry no more
Now this song may be a rock anthem,
but it's really meaningful to me
because my parents were musicians.
And while I struggled finding my way in life,
they were always the ones to remind me to carry on.
And now, after this performance,
maybe this wayward son might actually be on the right path.
- ♪ Tricky to rock a rhyme - Next, I was shocked
- to see the Seal's fate... - ♪ Rock a rhyme
♪ That's right on time, it's tricky ♪
...Well, sealed.
Hollywood icon Corey Feldman!
I'm really confused why I got kicked off.
This is, like, "The Masked Singer: Twilight Zone."
Is it a conspiracy?
But in order to keep going,
I'd have to battle against the Beets.
I was convinced that it was all over.
But, somehow, some way...
Gumball!
I beat the Beets.
Legendary "American Idol" singers
Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard!
- Oh, my God! - Oh, my God!
Oh, I was riding high. I was a group champion.
♪ This is our fate, I'm yours ♪
And then it was like "Groundhog Day," back in the bottom.
This time against the cute, cuddly,
and completely intimidating Poodle Moth.
♪ If I could turn back time
♪ If I could find a way
The singer taking the last spot
in the semi-finals is...
- Aah! - ...Gumball!
So, when I heard Nick call my name,
I couldn't believe it.
- All the emotions and nerves... - Yeah!
...and joy, hitting me at once.
So that's how I got here.
And I don't really know how I stack up
against the rest of the competition.
But I'm trying to just stay out of my own big plastic head
and be grateful for every performance I get.
Because no matter what happens,
this has been a dream come true.
Pretty sweet, right?
Our march towards the semi-finals rolls on
right after this brief intermission.
And still to come, we're going deep under the mask with Clock.
And an all-new performance from Gumball.
Don't miss one second of it. We'll be back.
♪ Who is that?
Gumball: Being under the mask has really kept me on my toes
with surprises around every corner.
- ( grunts ) - But nothing's gonna burst my bubble.
Time to blow you all away.
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer."
Tonight, we're asking all of the top three
to sing a brand-new song that sums up the experience for them.
Here with "Go the Distance," let's welcome back Gumball.
My whole life, I felt like an underdog. Even here.

Nick: Make some noise for Gumball.
( cheers and applause )
Gumball there with a performance
that truly popped onto the scene.
Now it's time to go under the mask of our Group C winner.
Let's rewind and tick through the journey
that got Clock here.
I've done so many exciting things in my life.
I've performed for presidents and the Pope.
But would you believe that I was most nervous
hitting the stage under this mask?
I could barely see, barely hear.
Honey, I was trembling.
But as soon as I heard that piano tinkling,
what can I say? It was like time stopped.
♪ He said, "Sing us a song, you're the piano man ♪
♪ Sing us a song tonight
♪ 'Cause we're all in the mood for a melody ♪
♪ And you've got us feeling all right" ♪
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."
♪ Feeling all right
- Wow. - Oh!
- This clock was in shock. - Wow!
Did I really just do that?
But the shock didn't stop
'cause I heard the rest of them sing.
Poodle Moth gave me chills.

Lizard turned things up
with slick moves and smooth vocals.

- Restaurateur. - Oh!

it's Joe Bastianich!
♪ Scooby-Dooby-Doo, where are you? ♪

- ♪ Good times - Whoo!
♪ Any time you need a friend

But that night, his tale came to an end.
Radio and TV host Billy Bush!
- Aah! - No way!
Each week as the Clock I was feeling looser,
bolder, braver.
So it was time to demand a little respect
with a song by Queen Aretha,

But the scales, sadly, didn't tip to his favor.
And when that mask came off,
if it wasn't the "Thong Song" man himself.
Nick: Sisqó!
I really enjoyed my time here.
The crowd enjoyed it, the judges enjoyed it.
So who knows, maybe we'll get to work together in the future.
I could-- maybe I could be a judge or something, you know? You know?

- the amazing Chrissy Metz. - Yes!
I love you, too.
Aw, you just caught us in a moment.
And now I'm here, in the semi-finals.
I never would have thought, at this point in my life,
that I get the opportunity to do this,
and to have gone from shaking under my mask
to twerking center stage,
honey, I wouldn't change a thing.
Who knew all I had to do was dress up
as a fabulous Victorian time piece to feel new again?
Now all I need to do is get this beautiful bronze ball gown
to the golden mask trophy.
We're making a quick pit stop on the road to the semi-finals.
Keep that remote handy. We'll return shortly.

Oh, girl, how would it look if me,

The tension is winding up

Let's take a look.

Our journey to the semi-final continues.
Now here's some never before seen moments from season 11.
Roll the footage.
Come here, Love Bird.
I love you, big guy.
Aah.
He's sort of like Aslan meets Fabio.
I'm not sure how I got here.
I think I may have been abducted by some aliens.
My son's favorite animal that he sleeps with is a koala.
And we call it Coco.
Every season, somebody has said,
"I know you're on 'Masked Singer.' It's gotta be you."
I don't know if I've made it look easy, but it's not easy.
I mean, singing Whitney Houston dressed up as a smiling beet
is not something I think either one of us
ever thought we would do in our lives.
But it was a cool thing to do. I enjoyed it, for real.
If you see me, I will Starfish. Right?
I love you. I always will.
Why can't I take her?
We will always be together.
Just don't leave me hanging, buddy.
We're on the brink of the semi-finals,
where just two singers will earn their ticket
to the grand finale.
But, first, we've never had a shortage of bad jokes,
but this season, Robin, our pun king,
may have found his pun queen. Roll the tape.
Oh, wow, should we do, like, a pun-off and see?
- Oh, my God. - No, please don't.
Hey, guys, beet's me.
- Oh. - Ken: Already better than you, Robin.
I'm not taking that from Beet-a Ora.
Beet-a Ora the Explora.
I'm thinking up more.
You are the beet to my heart.
- Ken: Oh, wow. - ( laughs )
His game is nothing to scarf at.
Oh, my God.
No, actually, I was gonna say she got us all wound up.
- You know what I mean? - Jenny: There we go.
Robin Thicke, ladies and gentlemen.
I'll be here all night.
- It was worth the wait, Robin, it really was. - It really was.
Spaghetti and Meatballs, that was so good, I want seconds.
- Whoo. - Yeah, you ate it up.
( laughing )
Spaghetti and Meatballs is the one to "bistro."
Okay. We'll be right back with deleted puns, only on Fox. All right.

Announcer: Goldfish, please head to set.
Rehearsals, fin-ished. Let's go, gills!
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer" semi-finals night!
The competition is heating up,
and the stakes are higher than ever.
Now it's time to take a dive into Goldfish's past clues
and lure you in with a brand-new one.
Let's take a look.
Now that I've shared my road to the semi-finals,
are you still wondering who's under this mask?
I've told you I love to keep people guessing.
That's why I'm here.
And it's been so much fun to watch the panel
pick up on the stories and clues I've dropped along the way.
On premiere night, you learned how I navigated
the treacherous waters of Hollywood,
and the panel picked up most on these slippers.
- Glass slipper, Cinderella. - Cinderella.
But what the panel missed was this wheel.
Did it steer toward any guesses?
In Transformers Night, I opened up about a few break-ups that totally sucked.
And gave a blood-sucking clue
that really sent the panel flying in a different direction.
- A vampire bat? - Somebody from "Twilight," maybe?
But it was the Queen Night that was the most magical.
And I shared a really personal story
that I don't often talk about publicly.
But you still don't "o-fish-ally" know who I am.
The audience and panel felt like the scale's maybe
tipping towards an actress who can sing.
You might be Selena Gomez.
She's on a show where there's a fish tank
and you're the Goldfish, so I think maybe that's why.
The kiss clue. She has an an album, "Kiss and Tell."
I think this could be Selena Gomez.
- I'm thinking Mandy Moore. - I love that guess.
I think the Ken clue, she was in "My Little Pony."
I think this might be Vanessa Hudgens.
- Wow. - Jenny: I like it.
- I'm thinking Hilary Duff.
That's a good guess. I like that.
First clue ever was a glass slipper,
and this famous actress was in a Cinderella movie.
I'm thinking this might be Hilary Duff.
Okay.
I think you're getting warmer.
How about I hook you up with a brand-new clue?
Ooh, look at that wild thing.
I hope this helps you rack up some guesses.
I have to wave goodbye for now.
( laughs )
We are only minutes away from the semi-final performances,
but there's just time to take a dive
into the treasure trove of clues
that Gumball has left for us this season.
And there's even a brand-new clue just for you.
What's up, Gumballers?
Do you think you know who I am under this candy coating?
Well let's try to figure it out
by taking a look back at my clues.
I arrived during the great and powerful "Wizard of Oz" Night.
And I shared that my road to success wasn't always paved with gold.
From the beginning of my career, I took the reign,
but the ride has been wild.
I've always led with my heart. If I only had a map.
On Girl Group Night, I told you about my true love
and the difficult realities we faced together.
She's my world, and the panel picked up on it.
The bowling ball of Earth. Uh, hello, "World of Dance."
That makes sense.
But they totally spaced on this moon.
And while my confidence this season has been shaky,
instead of dropping the ball, I proved I could carry on,
and maybe even win this competition.
Any luck using your private eye candy skills?
After seeing the way I move onstage,
the audience and the panel felt like I could be
an actor with a huge personality.
Possibly Jack Black. He's got personality.
He's a triple threat. Got some dance moves.
"School of Rock." I rock. That's a great guess.
So there was a pass clue with the guitars and the drums.
And he was in "School of Rock." Guys, is this Jack Black?
Jenny: Oh!
Honestly, I'm thinking Tom Holland.
Gumballs can be sticky. Webs can be sticky.
We saw a race car with an X on it.
He's been in "X-Men" movies. James Marsden.
And some people thought I could be from a famous family.
I think you're Nick Jonas.
Why Nick Jonas? What do you think?
I think he's probably the cutest of the Jonas Brothers.
Whoo! Whoo!
You know, when I see the clue package,
I see two guitars and a drum set,
which makes me think of a trio.
Could it be Kevin Jonas?
Ken: It could be someone like Kevin Jonas.
Are you getting close to figuring me out?
All right, gumshoes, now here is a brand-new clue.
- ( howls ) - Just like a tasty candy,
I think you're gonna wolf down this clue.
( howls )
Our journey to the semi-final continues
after this short break.
♪ Who is that?
You're so close to making it into the finals.
What would it mean if you made it to the finals next week?
It would really mean the world.
It would mean that, like, people actually appreciate me
for my skills and not just for my fame.
Gumball: I'm feeling latched, I'm feeling locked in,
I'm feeling ready to go.
Clock: I'm very excited to have gotten to this point,
because I think about all the people
that have been supportive of me,
and I'll never take it for granted.
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer."
As we gear up for the semi-finals,
let's rewind and unravel all the clues
Clock has ticked off this season.
Plus, a brand-new clue to help you figure out
what super celebrity is behind this mask.
Just in the nick of time, Nick.
I don't want to alarm you,
but I still don't think you know who I am.
I'll give you a hand recalling my stories and clues.
From the start, I told you I was timeless.
And I dropped a big ball on Billy Joel Night
that had the panel dancing around my name all night.
- But I roll with it, baby... - ( baby cooing )
...while the panel shielded their eyes from this gigantic clue.
Totally missed it!
I've had a lot of success in life,
especially with my children, who you met on TV Theme Night.
But it's the ups and downs in life
- that really drive me... - ( engine sputtering )
...to where I'm going and where I've been.
Oh, motor. Maybe like Motor City?
For Shower Anthems Night,
I told you a story about the time
I skipped out on one of the biggest nights
in my career to mop the floor.
And I couldn't help but name drop a little.
Are you second-guessing who you think I am?
The audience and the panel loved my legendary vocals.
And leaned in to guessing some iconic divas.
I think you're Anita Baker.
Just something about you seems timeless.
- This could be Anita Baker. - Ooh!
- Oh, that would be amazing. - Jenny: Right?
Gold globe, Golden Globe.
It feels like this is Diana Ross.
I think you're Janet Jackson.
You think I'm nasty?
- ( laughing ) - Yeah!
Janet or Miss Jackson if you're nasty.
- Jenny: Oh, my God! - Rita: Is he insane?
Only time will tell my true identity.
How about a brand-new clue before you go?
- A stitch in time saves nine lives. - ( meows )
Are you "feline" better about who I am?
Clock's ticking!
Our thrilling semi-finals are just moments away,
and we're back here with Clock as she's, uh, getting set to compete.
Clock, you in there? Can I come in?
It's about time you got here.
Yeah, I see, I see. Clocks everywhere.
All right, now, Clock, I have to ask you.
It's the semi-finals, how you feeling right now?
- A little nervous. - Really? You, nervous?
I mean, you seem like such a seasoned performer.
You seem like you ready for the semi-finals night.
I always get nervous before a performance.
Well, I'ma let you, uh...
Take some time to get myself together.
There it is. All right, y'all.
Y'all give it up for the Clock.
Thank you.
Let's check in with Gumball. Gumball, you good?
My man in here balling.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Gumball, so, it's a big night, it's the semi-finals, you ready?
Yes, sir. I'm anxious.
But I am ready to smash it.
Nick: Man, well, I'm gonna let you get back to it.
You in here doing the robot and everything.
We gonna just ease on out your way.
Gumball: Yes, sir.
Last, but definitely not least, Goldfish.
- Goldfish: Hello? - You got your scales on?
- Yes. - Can I come in? All right.
Yeah, hello.
Hello, it's the Goldfish. Y'all make some noise for her.
( both laugh )
Well, Goldfish, you seem very relaxed.
You don't look like you're worried about nothing.
I mean, any last words or thoughts
before you go out there and set it off for the semi-finals?
I'm so excited, I love this song,
and I just can't wait to perform it for everybody.
Well, you've been rocking the stage like crazy
every time you perform, so I know--
Matter of fact, I'ma let you get out there and go do your thing now.
- You ready? - So ready.
Y'all make some noise for the Goldfish.
There you have it.
The stage is set for an epic semi-finals,
you won't wanna miss.
( cheers and applause )
