Aww, I love Care Bears.
Wow. Let me get in here.
Keep it going for our amazing singers
and our Care Bear friends.
- Yes. Yes! - So cute!
Welcome to the Kingdom of Caring.
It's Care Bears Night on "The Masked Singer."
Whoo!
For nearly 45 years,
the Care Bears have inspired everyone
to be kind, expressive, and true to their feelings.
- Yes. - The Care Bears will also act
as emotional support bears all night for Pangolin,
High Voltage, Crane, and Pugcasso
as they vie for a spot in the semifinals,
getting them one step closer to the coveted Golden Mask Trophy.
( choir vocalizing )
To help guide us through all of the feel-good energy,
say hello to our detectives.
Thank you, thank you.
I represent Cheer Bear because I cheer for everything,
including Ken's horrible guesses.
Yay!
I am Harmony Bear because she loves to spread joy with music.
And I've been known to do that, so...
- Aww. That's awesome. - Aww.
Well, I'm actually the Wish Bear.
I fulfill wishes, and my wish tonight
was that Ken would dress like that.
I represent Grumpy Bear because Robin told me,
"Hey, Ken, let's dress up."
- And, Nick? - I'm the rainbow, baby.
- I'm the rainbow. - That's right!
- Oh, the rainbow. - Whoa.
Nick looks like he sells Care Bears out of the back of a van.
"Got what you need."
All right, let's get to it,
- starting with Pangolin. - Yes!
The detectives have been guessing award-winning singers,
so it sounds like they need a colossal clue to narrow things down.
Check it out.
It's Care Bears Night,
and I'm loving being here.
But, Jenny, the way you're guessing,
it's going to take you 1,000 years to get me.
So, spoiler alert,
I've got a friend here to bring you to your senses.
Check out this colossal clue.
- Oh, my God, Cristina Perri! - What?
Oh, my God, I feel so stupid
- No! - Yeah, come on, guys, you've got it all wrong.
She's not me, and I'm not her.
But Pangolin and I do love a girls' night out together,
and I can't wait for the next one.
- Oh, my God, I love you. - Okay, so she's friends with Christina Perri.
- She's friends. - Okay.
All right, well, she may not be Christina Perri,
but she is an icon in her own right.
Please make some noise for Pangolin!
- Yeah! - Yes!
♪ First, when there is nothing
♪ But a slow glowing dream
♪ That your fear seems to hide
♪ Deep inside your mind
♪ Well, all alone, I have cried ♪
♪ Silent tears full of pride
♪ In a world made of steel
♪ Made of stone
- Come on, baby. Let's go! - Whoa! Wow.
♪ Well, I hear the music
♪ Close my eyes, feel the rhythm ♪
♪ Wrap around
♪ Take a hold of my heart
♪ What a feeling
♪ Being's believing
♪ I can have it all
♪ Now I'm dancing for my life

♪ What a feeling
Yeah!
- Wow. - Aww, so cute.
What a feeling, indeed.
- Pangolin. - Oh, hi!
- Look out. - Oh, dear.
All right, well, look at the Caring Meter over there.
- Oh, my gosh. - People are really loving Pangolin.
Making it move.
Pangolin, there is so much love
tonight in Care Bear Night,
but you brought it to another level!
- Yes! - Your voice, your charisma,
- you are a winner here at "The Masked Singer." - Yeah.
- I'm gonna see you at the finals, Pangolin. - Really?
- Yes. - Ahh!
Wow.
You're getting Pangolin all emotional, Jenny.
- All right, Pangolin, before the performance... - Whew!
...we saw a colossal clue.
You and Christina Perri in the same room at the same time.
You gotta explain this for us.
Okay, our girls' nights together
have truly been some of the most meaningful
and fun of my whole career.
- Aww. - Nick: Wow.
- Wow. - Now, did that clue
help you guys out at all?
Who wants to jump in? Go ahead, Ken.
Oh, I always jump in without thinking,
and I'll tell you why, Meghan Trainor,
- who is also a good friend of Christina Perri! - ( Pangolin gasps )
Yeah, let me fin-- you're making me grumpy!
- Don't make him grumpy. - She had said in an interview
that Christina Perri had helped her through a very difficult time.
This is Meghan Trainor. It's all about the Pangolin.
- No anteater. - Okay, okay, Ken.
- Oh, no! - Thank you.
- Sit down, Ken. - I love it, Ken.
- ( groans ) - Ken, sit down!
- All right. - You know, the colossal clue
was a little bit of a burden on me,
because I thought it was Christina Perri.
It's obviously not.
So I have to rely on my former clues.
And there's a clue, you guys, we previously got,
- and it was a waitress clue. - Yes.
What does that make me think of? Broadway.
So we were both feeling that's Sara Bareilles.
But there's also the Jennifer Nettles of them all!
You know, I did a show with Jennifer Nettles,
and I just don't hear that in her voice.
- Then it's Sara Bareilles! - But I do like Sara Bareilles.
Okay, so I think if I had to just really go back
to my clues from before,
the 1,000 clue really stuck to me.
And that 1,000 makes me think "A Thousand Miles,"
which makes me think Vanessa Carlton.
- Good guess. - And Jenny is onto something.
We may see you all the way in the finals. Thank you so much.
- Oh, thank you! - What a performance.
Keep it going for Pangolin.
Oh, my God. Thank you so much! I love you, guys.
- You know what one of my favorite things to do, guys? - What?
- Stand up, guys. - Oh, yeah?
- Oh! - Stand up, guys.
Care Bears, prepare to...
...stare!
- Whoo! Yes! - Can we move now?
- Feels good. - Yes!
Is everyone still doing it?
- Yes! - Okay, cool.
Ken: We have to do it for the whole commercial break!

Welcome back to Care Bears Night on "The Masked Singer."
Tonight, we are measuring all of our feelings
with the Caring Meter.
When kindness grows, the needle rises.
( vocalizing )
The detectives have been all over the map and the globe
when it comes to High Voltage,
but tonight, we are going to reveal
the most colossal clue on him yet.
Are we talking about feelings tonight?
Well, I feel supercharged.
But, panel, you're still totally in the dark.
- What? - So here's something to shock you.
And I'm talking to you, Rita. Yeah, you.
- Ay! - Whoa!
Because, spoiler alert, the biggest clue
has been right in front of your face the whole time.
- What? - Don't be grumpy.
I'm just stating the obvious.
Now, check out this colossal clue.
All: Cowboy.
- Cowboy! - And a horse.
- Wait a minute. - Wait a second.
First of all, Voltage, don't come at me like that.
But what's "cowboy"? Is that like a--
- Is that like a league? - It's a football team.
- Oh. - That clue certainly tripped you guys up.
- Yes. - Well, put your hands together right now for High Voltage.
Yes.

That's what I'm talking about, people! Whoo!
Amaze-a-balls!
I still don't think we know who this is.
- Good job, High Voltage! - He's great.
Wow, look at him.
Y'all keep it going for High Voltage.
The Caring Meter is a-buzzing.
Rita, talk to High Voltage about that performance.
You just are such a joy.
And, like, honestly, you have been sending currents
- throughout this whole season. - Wow.
- Yes. - Well said, Rita Ora.
All right, detectives, before the performance,
he told you the biggest clue has been staring
- at you guys the whole time. - Right.
High Voltage, what are they missing?
Well, detectives, I love me a little country.
I know how to make an entrance.
And I've been feeling 22 for a long time now!
- Whoa! - Feeling 22.
- Wow. - Nick: Those sound like some good clues to me.
Well, you know, somebody else--
we've seen some hints to on-air personalities,
maybe podcasters, something like that we've been thinking.
One of the most famous podcasters,
who's also a very famous actor, is Dax Shepard.
- Oh, yes. - I like that. I like that.
- I love Dax. - And he also--
the cowboy hat and the horse
could mean from his show, "The Ranch."
- That's right. - He's on a show called "The Ranch."
- Oh, yeah. - So I'm gonna go with Dax Shepard.
- That's a great guess. - That's great. That's great, Robin.
Look at that.
I think you have to keep things simple.
- Really? - And no one is more simple than me, right?
- Right, Travis Kelce? - Okay, Ken.
- Oh, my God. - That's right. That's right.
Travis Kelce, he bought a horse.
- Okay. - He bought a race horse.
True story, look it up. It's called Swift Delivery.
- Okay, all right. - ( groaning )
- Sit down. - I'm telling the truth here!
( jeering )
And "22" is one of Taylor Swift's--
his fiancée, I might add-- biggest songs.
So, Travis Kelce, you are shocking me!
- Save us, Rita. - You know, I have no idea
if I'm going to save you right now.
It may be just as ridiculous as Ken's guess, and I'll tell you why.
Because, honestly, I'm not that familiar with football here.
I'm not gonna pretend like I am.
I really feel like the only other thing I can think of--
this is going to sound crazy--
because of the song
"Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy."
- Yeah. - Could this be Big & Rich?
Or Big or Rich?
- He is big. - I mean, he is big.
- I'm pretty sure he is big and rich. - He is big.
Yeah, but Big & Rich are a duo.
So let's go with the one that wears the cowboy hat. I think that's Rich.
So I don't know what 22 means,
but I'm gonna go with Rich from Big & Rich.
- John Rich from Big & Rich. - Dude, so well thought out.
All right, keep it going for High Voltage.
It's Rich. I know it is!
- Big or Rich. - Big or Rich.
Could be Big Rich. I love it.
- I got your back, Rita. - Thanks.
Kent: Best guess ever, in my opinion.
Hey, guys. It's me, Kylie Cantrall.
- I'm Cat Witch. - ( meows )
Next week, it's Star Trek Night.
And I got to bring it, 'cause everyone is so good.
My strategy is to go back to my dance roots.
♪ If you're gonna catcall, then you best get it right ♪
The stakes are extra high.
I'm literally one step from the semifinals.
It's, like, all or nothing at this point.
One more time.
These judges don't know what's coming.
- ( giggling ) - No, no.
No, no, I'm grumpy! Robin was mean to me.
He called me an ugly blueberry.
So I'm not in the mood for love and cheer.
I'm grumpy! Just let me be grumpy! Just let me be--
I'm not crying, you're crying.
I'm sorry. What did you say, Love-A-Lot?
- ( whispering ) - You're right, Love-A-Lot.
Robin does look a lot like mouthwash!
I'm sorry. What did you say?
( whispering )
Good one, Cheer Bear.
And he also looks like key lime pie!
More like "off-key" lime pie, am I right?
- 'Cause he's a horrible singer. - ( giggling )
I'm actually starting to feel better.
Bring it in! Look at us!

Welcome back to "The Masked Singer,"
where we're celebrating the Care Bears
with a bunch of people who look like the Care Bears Cousins.
They're making me rush back in from the bumper.
- Making me grumpy! - All right, the detectives
think this next singer could win it all.
And it seems like they need a colossal clue
to put them on the right track.
Check it out.
Just like those Care Bears, I have all the feelings
- making it this far. - Aww.
But, Ken, I'm tired of watching you throw paint at the wall.
- Oh, really? - I mean, you're the sports guy.
So, spoiler alert, this isn't my first competition.
I'm even taken the Olympics by storm.
- Both: Olympics? - What?
Cheer up. I'm just trying to help.
Check out my colossal clue.
- Whoa! - An Olympic torch!
This could be an Olympic winner.
It could be someone that performed at the Olympics.
- Yes. - Someone who performed at the Olympics.
All right, was he in the Olympics
or did he perform there?
No matter what, we all carry a torch for Pugcasso.

Ken, talk to Pugcasso.
You know, you have turned this grumpy frown upside down.
- Yeah! - And I came in armed with jokes.
- I came in armed with, you know, zingers. - I doubt it.
But honestly, this is my favorite performance of the night.
- Amazing. Amazing job. - Right?
Thank you so much.
All right, Pugcasso,
earlier, you threw an Olympic-sized curveball.
Can you tell us about that colossal clue?
Yeah, you know, being a part of the Olympics, it changed my life forever.
I never imagined I'd have the whole world's attention,
so it was a pretty cool moment.
A part of the Olympics.
Well, you know, his voice reminds me of this artist,
and I know he did perform at an Olympic event.
Could this be, audience, Gavin DeGraw?
Oh! What a great guess.
All I remember from the Olympics was the Spice Girls on black taxi cabs.
- But, like, apart from that-- - Same.
I'm just hearing the voice and closing my eyes,
and I worked really closely with Jason Mraz.
- Oh, love Jason. - Oh!
Yes, I was backing vocalist for him when I was like 16 years old,
and I just remember him being so nice to me.
So if that is Jason, I wanna come give you a huge hug.
- You never know. We'll see. - That's a great guess.
I mean, even though Pugcasso was ribbing me, saying that,
you know, my guesses are all over the place,
I'm throwing paint, you know, against the wall--
which is what artists do, Pugcasso.
You're right. You're right.
I'm gonna stick with my guess from last time.
He has performed at the Olympics.
And the gold medal, he has several gold records,
my dear friend from Train, Pat Monahan.
- I don't know. We'll see. - Great guess.
And a great performance!
- Yes! - Great performance!
Y'all keep it going for Pugcasso.
You guys, this has been incredible.
Doesn't it feel like a finale?
Well, you know, I mean, Pangolin coming in late as a wild card
and now being one of the favorites...
- Right? - ...I mean, her voice is so spectacular.
And Pugcasso might have had his best vocal tonight.
Yeah, but I want to wait and see what Crane's got coming up.
You know what? It all boils down to who cares the most
- about what they sing. - Oh!
Robin: I see where you're going with that.
♪ Who is that?
Man, I got to admit it. You guys are the best panel I've ever worked with.

- ♪ Who is that? - Yeah!
Welcome back to Care Bears Night on "The Masked Singer."
The detectives think our final singer of the night
might be Misty Copeland or Ashanti.
But as we're about to learn, at least one of those is wrong.
I never thought I'd find myself in the bottom last time,
and it made me realize how lucky I am to be here.
But you've thrown out the same wrong name twice.
- Uh-oh. - So, spoiler alert.
- Robin, I'm not Ashanti. - Oh!
- Did that ruffle your feathers? - That hurt.
Why don't you Care Bear stare at my colossal clue?
- Oh, look at that! - A proposal?
- Oh! - Football player!
- That's a big clue. - So someone who's engaged.
- That is huge. - Consider the feathers
to be officially ruffled.

So to hear that type of intimate vocal from you
- really separates you from the pack... - It's beautiful.
- ...I think, yeah. Excellent. - Well said.
- Well said, Robin. - Excellent.
Okay, Crane, well, we saw from your colossal clue
that you got a real reason to love football.
What can you tell us about this game-changing clue?
Well, I just kicked off my next chapter with a major win and I couldn't be happier.
- Aww. - Uh-oh. Jenny looks like she's figured something out.
You know, I wrote down a name last time
and I kind of held it back.
So I want my other judges to go first 'cause--
You don't want anybody cheating off of your guess, is what you're saying.
Thank you. That's exactly right.
I don't need no cheating because I know exactly who...
Both: This is.
Look at the football clue. Look at the engagement clue.
If High Voltage is Travis Kelce, and he is.
- Wait for it! - Don't say it, Ken.
- I will say it! - Both: Don't say it!
- Taylor Swift! - ( crowd jeering )
They just got engaged!
Crane, I knew you were trouble, baby.
- Ha! - Um, okay,
so I'm dressed as Harmony, which is very convenient,
because I just came up with this sort of name now
hearing the riff and understanding the vocal.
And being a big fan of this artist in the band
- and as a solo artist... - I'm gonna do it!
...this could be Normani from Fifth Harmony.
Crazy! Can I show you?
You came up with that, too? It just hit me now!
No, I've had it written down for a couple weeks.
- Oh, my gosh. No way. - Whoa.
The construction-- remember the construction hat?
And the construction video, of course.
Everything just started to click for me right here right now.
And I genuinely had no idea that that was the name--
That's okay. I had it before you last week.
- Yeah, Normani is the new name in my head. - Normani, I think.
- Yes. I think it's Normani. - We think it's Normani.
And you're both wrong. Shake it off, baby.
There it is. Y'all keep it going for Crane one more time.

- I want you to hold me. - Oh, my gosh.
- ( muttering ) - I'm coming in for this care hug.
Pangolin!
- Oh! - Oh!
Wow!
- That means, Pangolin... - Aww!
...you are safe and can join Crane
and Pugcasso in the semifinals.
Congratulations.
Sadly, that means, High Voltage,
you are leaving the clouds and headed back down the Earth.
- Aww. - But before we get to our final guesses,
we're getting the biggest clue to your identity.
- What? - Tonight, we are bringing back
the Crack the Case Clue Case.
- What? - Whoa!
- That's huge, Jenny. - Wow, that's good.
That's good for me. I like a good clue.
- Nick: Men in Black... - Anderson .Paak Bear returning.
...reveal what's inside.
I bet it has something to do with football.
What is it? Ah, cleats!
- Wow. - Okay, okay.
The right shoes can carry you
through any game in life.
- Wow. - Okay.
- I wonder which game that might be, huh? - Nick: Ooh, detectives,
based on that clue, do you want to change
your guesses or close your case?
All right, well, I've been thinking
it's an on-air personality, right?
- Yeah. - But with the new clues,
the cleats, the number 22.
He was drafted when he was 22. He retired in 2022.
- And we saw a Patriot clue. - Patriot!
I'm gonna go Tom Brady.
Is this Tom Brady?
- Is this the GOAT? - I love it.
I'm feeling the Patriot myself.
And I recently had said-- I think the first time
I saw him I said it was Julian Edelman.
Yeah. Oh, that's right.
Because I know the Patriots very well.
And then I did a little bit of homework-- AKA, cheating!
And I saw that V22.
"V" you could say equals five.
- That would be May. - Whoa.
- 22nd is Julian's birthday. - What?
Could it be Julian Edelman? I think so, maybe!
- That would blow my mind! - Nick: That's good, Jenny.
- My brain's frozen. - Yeah, my brain's been frozen for five years.
You guys can quit now if you want.
Well, I mean, they're all guessing athletes, guys.
Okay, whatever, you may not have my back on this one,
but I'm gonna hold my ground
just because I'm not that familiar with this category.
Okay, football. I get it, right? We're seeing the cleats.
But it also works as soccer,
which makes me think "Ted Lasso,"
which makes me think this could be Jason Sudeikis.
- Good guess. - Okay.
- I like that, with the soccer clue. - Not bad.
- Bring us home, Ken. - Okay.
- Yeah. - Believe it or not, I was all over the place.
- I really was. - What?
- No! - Yes. Yes, I-- oh.
I don't appreciate the sarcasm,
- Bone Hugs-N-Harmony. - Yeah!
- Ha! - That's good.
- But the 22... - Yeah.
He said, "I'm feeling 22."
- For Taylor Swift. Right? - Okay.
And the cleats? Case closed, Travis Kelce!
- ( cheers and applause ) - Yeah!
- Don't cheer him on. - Yeah, my grumpies!
- They're cheering for that. - Yes, my grumpies!
- Nick: Okay. - Yes!
It's time to see if any of our detectives were right
- about High Voltage. - Now, wait. Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait. You guys, his head is a soccer ball!
- Oh! - ( buzzing )
You guys can't change your guesses.
- I want to change my guess. - Aah!
You guys! You guys!
I'm not a moron!
- Hey! - It's been in front of your faces the entire time.
Come on!
Audience, you know the drill. Say it with me.
- ( chanting ) Take it off! Take it off! - Oh, no.
- Take it off! - Is this is David Beckham?
- ♪ Who are you? - Take it off!
- ♪ Who - Cheer Bear to the rescue.
- ♪ I really wanna know-- - Oh!
- Oh, no! - Cheer Bear!
- ( giggling ) - Hey!
- Yay! - ( song resumes )
♪ I really wanna know
( chanting continues ) Take it off! Take it off!

Fox Sports analyst and American soccer legend
- Alexi Lalas! - Oh, my God!
- Nick: Wow!
- No way! - Oh, my God!
- Wow. - Alexi!
- Wow, that was something. - Wow.
- Oh, my God! - Wow!
- Wow! That's really cool! - Amazing!
- He got you guys! - Oh, my goodness.
- He got us! He got us good, Nick. - Wow!
- He got us good. - The frickin' soccer ball?
- I know! - Right in front of your face on my head the entire time!
- I thought it was your brain! - Oh, my goodness!
- Sorry! - By the way, I'm so sorry I'm not Tom Brady!
But you are a great singer, right?
- Oh, my goodness. This-- - You're a great singer.
- You're better! - Aww, that's very kind of you.
What made you want to do "The Masked Singer"?
Well, look, I grew up playing in garage bands
and then singing in chamber singers.
So while I was doing sports,
music was a huge part of my life.
And this is so much more than music, by the way.
- Yeah, I know. - And this is so much more than singing.
- It really is. - And that means a lot coming from you.
- I mean, how does "The Masked Singer" stage... - Yes.
- ...compare to the World Cup? - Well, I gotta tell you,
I think that I sweat more in this
than I ever sweat on the soccer field.
- Yeah. - I got sweat in places, ladies and gentlemen,
that you do not want to see.
It's absolutely incredible.
- We're gonna see you a lot this summer on Fox... - Yay!
- Yeah! - ...when you cover the FIFA World Cup again!
- I'll be watching. - We had an amazing time
up in the clouds with the Care Bears.
And next time we are going up even higher.
It's Star Trek Night next week!
- Yeah! - Yes!
- Whoa! - But right now, keep it going
for the artist formerly known as High Voltage.
- Thanks so much. - It's the legendary Alexi Lalas!
Yay!
