It's the semi-finals of "The Masked Singer."
- Whoo! - Let's go!
Let's give it up for your top five!
It's Cat Witch.
Hey!
Crane.
Yes!
Pugcasso.
- Yeah! - Yes!
Galaxy Girl.
Hi!
-And Pangolin. - Whoo!
- They're all so good. - They're all so good.
Tonight these final five will become the final four
as they try to sing their way to the finale
for the coveted Golden Mask trophy.
Thank you all. Head on backstage.
- Amazing group! The most difficult yet. - Bye!
- Yes. Yes. - Love you!
At the start of the season,
our singers locked up their case files full of clues in the vault.
And tonight, since we're so close to the finals,
they're going to dig into those cases and reveal evidence
so big, so personal, it will shock you.
What?
Up first, let's see Galaxy Girl open up her case file
and fill in more blanks on her identity.
The truth to my identity has been tucked away in this case file all season.
But with the finale so close, there's a little detail
I should probably share with you--
- this necklace. - Best friends?
I've looked up to one star my whole life.
By day we'd sing karaoke in her convertible,
But by night she took the world's biggest stages by storm,
and I watched in awe.
I saw the awards, the glitz, the glam.
But I also saw the public scrutiny, the headlines.
I remember how much my heart would break for her.
When it was my turn in the spotlight,
I was scared to follow in her footsteps,
but she prepared me for what was to come.
And she's always been my guiding light.
But that doesn't mean there's not some healthy competition,
and that's why I want to get to the finale.
I mean, she may be a massive star,
but finally, I'm the whole galaxy.
I win.
Hey! Whoo!
Let's go!

- Yes! She came to win, Ken! - She came to win.
Out of this world!
- Galaxy Girl, y'all! - Yeah!
- Galaxy Girl! - Slam dunk!
- Rita talk to Galaxy Girl. - Yes, yes!
Yeah, I don't know about you guys, but I am on a high right now!
- Yes! - Literally, I'm buzzing.
I mean, you have found your identity.
You are in your element right now.
And I'm just so honored to be a part of this journey with you. We're on a ride!
- Well said. - Indeed, indeed.
And now to get us closer to their identities,
each singer will reveal which detective
- they have a personal connection to. - Ooh!
Then that panelist will get 25 seconds
to ask whatever questions they want.
- Nice! - So let's kick this off.
Galaxy Girl, who are you connected to?
Well, actually, Nick, it's you!
- What? - What?
- Me? - Nick?
- That doesn't narrow it down. - At all. All right, but, look.
I guess I'll show them how it's done.
I'll be the first example. Galaxy Girl, are you ready?
- Yes. - All right, 25 seconds on the clock.
Start the clock!
Are we friends in the real world?
Kind of. I mean, you're definitely closer to my husband.
- Oh! - So do we go far back?
Well, we go back, like, early 2000.
Early 2000s. I'm close to her husband.
So clearly, we've partied together.
Um, I think you've probably partied with my husband. Not really me.
Have you ever been on "Wild 'N Out"?
No. But you've never invited me.
- Oh, time is up! - Oh, that was good!
Time is up, Nick. Time is up.
I get it.
All right, I think I might know who this is.
- Really? - Did it help you at all?
Kinda. The voice just tonight sold it for me.
- Right? - You remember when I said to you
I think Cat Witch has something going on in the show...
- Yes. Correct. - ...with Stingray?
I actually think the relationship
- Mm. Mm. - between Stingray, who was Evan Ross,
- is with Galaxy Girl! - Oh!
And also I know for a fact he's friends with Nick.
- Whoa. - Do you see what I'm saying?
It does. It actually does match.
And to me that makes it go-- ding!
Ashlee Simpson!
Whoa! Really?
A wonderful guess. Robin, what you got?
- Yeah, Robin, what you got? - Well, I'm sorry, Galaxy Girl.
I think my co-panelists are Milky Way off.
Oh! That's so good, Robin.
Ah, okay. Um, tonight,
it made me think of somebody else
now that this this connection
with a best friend or a sibling.
A few seasons ago, we had Strawberry Shortcake,
- who was A.J. Michalka. - Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Remember? From the band Aly and A.J.?
- Yeah, yeah. - So I think this could be Aly Michalka.
- Aly! That's right. - Good guess. Good guess.
Well, Galaxy Girl definitely gave an amazing performance.
- Great job. - Ahh!
Men in Black, help her out.
Jenny, if we're right, I don't think there's ever been in history,
- like, a husband and wife-- -Competing.
Right, that's gonna make for a tough family dinner.
Let's see what happens!
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back to the semi-finals on "The Masked Singer,"
where our detectives love clues
more than single ladies love horoscopes.
But you know what else everyone loves?
Pangolin! It's time to open up her case file.
At the start of the season,
I locked up my case file full of clues.
But if you want to get closer to my identity,
take a look at these headlines.
My best friend in the whole world was my Nana.
She would carry news clippings of me
and force people to read them.
Like, "Have you heard about my granddaughter?
- She's on the Emmys." - Emmys?
She was feisty, funny, and full of heart.
I lost her a few years ago, and I miss her every day.
Like, when I became a mom,
I went through a really tough time.
I would sit there wondering how I'd get through.
But then I'd think about Nana.
I could almost hear her saying, "You got this, sugarplum."
And it really did get me through.
And you know what?
That fierceness? It runs in the family.
And it's what's driving me now to make new headlines,
to fight and get to that finale,
because Nana raised a winner!
I hope that I'm raising some, too.
Ay, Pablo! How could you?
Get out!
Tu es mi amor! Por qué?

- This is gonna be very hard. - I--
Who is this?
Wow. Y'all keep it going for Pangolin.
- Robin, talk to her. - I love it. I love the drama
- and the theater and the novela. - Right?
And I could really feel the passion, the intention.
I could feel that in your vocal. Great job.
- Wow. Well said, Robin. - Great job.
Okay, let's start wrangling some questions for Pangolin.
All right, Pangolin, who do you have a connection with in the panel?
This person and I have been on camera together. Ken!
- Ken? - Wow.
- Oh, my God! You have a friend. -Wow.
- All right, Ken, you're up. - Use it wisely, Ken.
Okay, let's start the clock.
Were you in "K-Pop Demon Hunters"?
Ahh! My girls would love that! But, no.
Were you in "Crazy Rich Asians" with me?
- No. - Are you just stating your movies?
Were-- let me finish. Not just movies.
- So we have been on TV together. - Yes, we have.
And how did I do? Was my performance okay?
- Oh, my gosh. Ken! - Absolutely riveting! Couldn't look away.
Okay. You're right. It's not about me. Not about me.
Um, what do you think of my guesses so far?
- Oh, my God. That was not helpful at all! - Okay, Ken.
- I didn't have enough time, Nick! - Super helpful.
- We've learned absolutely nothing. - We didn't learn anything.
Maybe Pangolin was in the eye drops commercial you did.
Oh, well, talk to your doctor first
to see if it's right for you. That's right. Yeah.
All right, Ken, well, did that help you?
You know, real talk,
- the voice is so good. - Yeah, uh-huh.
This could be Lea Michele of "Glee," that I also guest starred on.
She has been on the Emmys. She's been nominated many times.
- Right? - You saved yourself.
- I love that. You got it. - Thank you! Thank you!
- Yeah, yeah. - And I learned all that from my questions.
All right, Jenny, what you got?
So, you know, I actually thought it was Christina Perri.
But then she showed up as a clue,
so that went out the window.
I go, okay, who has Christina Perri toured with?
So we haven't mentioned Rachel Platten yet. "Fight Song."
- So I'm going to go with Rachel Platten today. - Good guess!
- All right. - I worked with Rachel Platten once.
- You did work with Rachel? - I believe so, yes.
Well, then I'm a little bit closer.
Y'all keep it going for Pangolin.
We got no help from Ken,
but we got lots of love from Pangolin.
Men in Black, help her out.
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back to the semi-finals on "The Masked Singer."
Our next celebrity singer
has been lighting up the stage all season.
Let's find out more while Crane reopens her case file.
Tonight, if you really want to get to know me,
you'll need to open the case file
and take a deeper look at my DNA.
When I had my breakout success--
we're talking multiplatinum.
- Whoa. - Okay, so she's killing it.
There was so much pressure
to strike while the iron was hot.
But behind closed doors, my world was falling apart.
Both of my parents were sick. I had to be there for them.
But when I shared my work with them,
I could see joy.
I didn't realize it,
but I was inspiring them to fight.
And seeing their light pushed me to keep fighting, too.
We leaned on each other.
And after several difficult years,
we can finally take a deep breath.
That's why I want to make it to the finale.
They get so much joy watching me do my thing,
and I'm determined to show them
the same strength they've shown me.
Because being a fighter is in my blood.

Oh! Oh, oh.
Crane, first of all your story about being a fighter,
and you came out here fighting.
Go, "No, I'm going home with this trophy."
The song is perfect. "Break Free."
I think you broke free of the competitors
- and are making it all the way to the finale. - Right! Yay!
Well said. Well said.
Okay, Crane, who do you have a connection with on the panel?
- Well, I would say Miss Rita. - No! Really?
- Rita! - Aah!
We love a little healthy competition.
- Healthy competition. - Whoa.
Okay, Rita, you get 25 seconds to ask Crane whatever you want.
Healthy competition. Aah! I'm panicking!
- Are you ready? Let's put 25 seconds on the clock. - I don't know!
- You can do it. - Why am I standing up?
And go!
Uh, have you been a part of a show that I was a judge on,
- like "The Voice"? - No. Okay.
- Have we done a film together? - No.
Uh, have we partied together once in a blue moon?
- ♪ No comment - Aah!
Okay. How do we know each other?
- We were on TV together. - Was it a talk show?
Not a talk show. We were competing.
- Okay. - Wait, what show? What show?
- I can't tell you! - She can't tell you, Rita!
- She said competing! - Oh!
- All right, time's up. - You did good, though. You did good.
You know what, Rita? You did better than Ken, at least.
- I'm sweating. - You did way better than Ken.
I'm sweating in places I didn't even know I had.
- Okay. - All right, did that help you out at all, though?
Well, there's only a few people that can put their leg up that high
- that I know and I've seen music videos for. - Right, right.
One's Tate McCrae and one is Normani.
Normani, I actually think we did do a TV show together.
Or could it have been an awards show
where you guys were both nominated?
- Healthy competition. - Oh, healthy competition.
- Good job, Daddy. - Well, I think that might--
Ken! I think I'm torn because Halle Bailey I just saw
at this dinner party thing that I was just at,
and she didn't talk to me, so I was like, maybe she knows it's--
Maybe I know she knows that I know it's her?
- You see what I'm saying? - Oh! That old scheme.
You know, that whole thing? So I don't know.
I'm torn between Normani and Halle Bailey,
and I feel like I don't know if Halle can kick her leg up that high.
- That's a real high kick. - I agree with Rita,
because only a couple of people can kick like this.
Like how she did. Me.
Hey, man, you're not supposed to laugh there.
Wait, did you foot even go above--
You know what? I just pulled a hammy. But enough about me.
That was like a scissor kick.
And you know who can pull a scissor kick?
- Who's that Ken? - SZA.
- That's who I think this is. - Oh, my--
SZA kick. You're welcome, America.
Those are all good guesses. Even Ken's isn't even that bad.
- Thank you, Daddy. - Ah!
All right, that was an amazing performance from Crane.
Men in Black, help her out.
I feel like any one of them could win right now.
You know what would be really helpful is if one of them stunk.
- That's just Ken's aftershave - I'm not disagreeing.

America, all season you've been trying to close the case on me.
So let me give you a peek into my file.
Roll the tape.
- Hey, guys. My name is-- -
I would love to be a part of "The Masked Singer."
See, there was a moment when everyone in America
had their eyes on me, and suddenly this hometown boy
was thrown into interviews and photoshoots,
and the problem is I've always thought of myself
as a musician, not a celebrity.
I work really hard to keep my life as normal as possible
for me and my family.
I mean, my own kid doesn't know I'm famous.
- Wow, that's a good clue. - That is a good clue.
So you can imagine, I would love to do the show.
And now I feel lucky to have been chosen.
The best thing is, it's been about the art, music,
and that's why I want to make it to the finale.
This has allowed me to do what I do best.

You are so effortless. You make everything easy.
When I think about this season,
you are low-key, for me, the favorite to win it all.
- I want it now! - Amazing job.
- Wow! - Okay, well, let's find out
which detective Pugcasso has a connection to.
- Ah. - Who is it?
Oh, well, this person and I have shared a stage together.
- And it's Jenny. - Jenny?
- What? - All right, Jenny,
- well, you have 25 seconds. - Okay.
- Make it count. - Ooh, these are gonna be good.
- Start the clock. - Okay.
Have we ever-- we have met before, on a stage somewhere.
We've met on a stage before.
Okay, have we ever dated though?
- Uh, no. - Did we ever present an award together?
- No. - Okay, were we ever in the same TMZ story together?
- No, I don't think so. - Okay, did I ever interview you
on MTV or my radio show or "The View"?
Maybe, introduce you on one of those?
- Maybe. - Ooh!
Time's up. Give it up for Jenny.
Those were some good questions right there.
Did any of that help you out?
Well, if I look back at, like, "The View," the people I remember introducing...
- Oh, "The View." Okay. - ...are like Michael Bublé, John Legend.
But then I also forgot, for 10 years I hosted "New Year's Rockin' Eve,"
- and I introduced a lot of people. - Yes.
But it could be someone like a Shay Mooney.
- Okay. Dan and Shay, yes, yes. - Of Dan and Shay.
- Dan and Shay, I-- - That's a good guess.
That's where I'm leaning right now, but I feel like I am so close.
Definitely a good guess. Rita, what you got?
I've been bouncing back and forth this whole season with names.
And so here I am now going back onto something I said before
because he's got an incredible voice.
He has two kids. The audition tape,
which makes me think of one of the shows
that he rose to fame in, which was "Glee."
I'm gonna go back to my original guess of Darren Criss.
- From "Glee." - Oh, that's--
- I like it. -All right.
Such a wonderful performance. Pugcasso, y'all!
There was "The Jenny McCarthy Show."
Then there was "The View."
Then there's "New Year's Rockin' Eve."
- So it kind of didn't help. - It really didn't.
He's messing with me.
Yes.
Hey, America. It's your insider Kylie Cantrall here.
I can't believe I've made it to the semi-finals!
But this has to be one of the hardest songs I've sung yet.
I have the craziest plan for my clue package.
It's gonna seem like it's a journal entry about my mom,
but really it's a dedication to my on-screen mom, Rita.
I'm even calling her a queen in it because, duh,
she's the Queen of Hearts, my mom from Descendants.
But is it too risky? Pray for me.
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer."
It's the semi-finals, and security is tighter than ever.
Our last celebrity had no problem getting in though.
It's time for Cat Witch to share her case file with us.
Cat Witch: What's in my case file?
Well, I tucked away one of my most personal keepsakes, my journal.
I write all my secrets in it.
But tonight, turn to page 20 for a top secret entry,
a letter I wrote for someone special.
"Mom, all of this is possible because of you.
You believed in me as a little girl and showed me exactly what I could be.
And when I landed a role in a huge franchise, you were right by my side."
Franchise?
"The older I get, the more I relate to you.
All those lessons you taught me,
maybe I didn't understand them at the time.
I think I get it now.
And while my life story is still being written,
it feels safe following in your footsteps."
- Hmm. - "But for now, making it to
the finale will be a testament to all you've taught me.
You're such a queen. Now watch me go for the crown."
Case closed.
- Follow in your footsteps? - That's so cute!

- Wow, what a voice! - That was good.
That was amazing.
Wow! What a performance.
- Right? - Wow.
- I mean, that was-- - Rita, talk to Cat Witch.
That was so incredibly well done.
Sometimes when you're just simple and you stand there
and you just show who you are
and your vulnerability and your fierceness,
I mean, you just have it all. And it's, like--
it's unbelievable how incredible that performance just was.
- Like, I can't tell you. It's a game-changer. - You stole the night.
- That was gorgeous. - Yeah, stole the night.
Cat Witch, you got Rita all emotional up there...
- Yeah, that was so great. - Man.
...with that stunning performance.
But, Cat Witch, who gets to ask you questions from up there?
Robin, last time I told you
you worked with one of my family members, but we know each other
because, well, you welcomed my family into your home.
- Wait, what? - What? What? What? What'd she say?
- All right, Robin, well? - Well, that doesn't narrow it down much.
But you get 25 seconds. Start the clock.
- Have we recorded together? - One of my parents.
- Your parents? Um... - Mm-hmm.
Do you know what 6-7 means?
Ha-ha!
- Yes. - Aah!
- Are you a fan of Neil Diamond? - Who?
- Exactly. See, that helps. That helps. - Yeah, it's good.
- So you know which age group you're dealing with. - I'm getting in the age group.
Is there anyone else on the panel you have a connection to?
- Rita. - Oh!
- Wow! - Wow. That was good.
- Robin, that was actually-- - That was some good investigating there.
- Okay. - That might have been the most random yet most effective
- questioning of all of us. - True.
- Well done. - Not bad. Not bad, Robin.
Well, this one name that comes to mind
because I know the whole family is Miley Cyrus and Noah Cyrus,
- her younger sister. - Yeah, that's a great guess.
- Noah Cyrus. - Oh, yeah.
'Cause she appeared in the Hannah Montana series and movies, too.
- Good guess. - Another Cyrus.
Another Cyrus, yeah.
All right, Rita, what you got?
You know, the franchise thing
sticks out to me like a sore thumb.
Because, obviously, I'm part of the Descendants franchise
and I play the Queen of Hearts,
which then got me into thinking "mom."
And I just-- if this is who I think is,
I mean, she really makes my heart melt.
I love her so much. It's my daughter in Descendants, Kylie Cantrall.
Wow.
So if this is her, I would be, like, completely blown away
that it took me this long to really solidify the name.
Okay, I just have a question.
- So that package was about her mom. - Yeah, I don't--
- Was that about you? - I don't know, but if it is, I can't-- I won't be able
to continue with the show 'cause that would have been
the sweetest thing anybody would ever have done for me.
Well, outside of my husband, but still.
Was about to say, your husband came
- and surprised you on the show. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, keep it going for Cat Witch.
- Thank you so much, Cat Witch. - Yeah!
- Whoo! - Go rest those paws
and we'll see you back out here in a minute.
- Wow. - All right, audience,
detectives, it's time to vote
for your favorite performer of the night.
The top four will advance to next week's finale.
The singer with the least amount of votes
- will be unmasked tonight. - Ugh.
- The results when we return. - Ooh!
Guys, this is gonna be the hardest semi-final vote.
It's all different levels of absolute icons.
- I mean, I-- - I don't know.
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back to the semi-finals of "The Masked Singer."
- Whoo! - The results are in.
And the first singer going into the finale is...
- Oh! - Semi-finals!
- Oh, yeah. Who's it gonna be? - Who's going to the finals?
It's getting real.
It's the moment of truth.
- Cat Witch! - Oh, my God!
- Ah! - What?
-Congratulations. - That's not surprising.
Wow!
- The second singer moving on is... - Ah!
Oh, gosh.
- Just say it. - Crane!
- Oh, my God! - All right, all right.
-Congratulations. - Amazing!
Yes!
The third singer heading to the finals is...
Oh, this is tense.
Aah!
- Pugcasso. - Oh, my God!
Good job. Never a doubt.
Pugcasso, he's amazing.
- Wow. - Okay, there's only one spot left.
So, wait. Hold on, hold on.
It's down between Pangolin and Galaxy Girl.
The last singer moving on to the finale is...
Oh, my gosh! Who is it?
It could literally be either of them.
Galaxy Girl!
- Oh, my God! - Oh!
- Yeah! -Congratulations.
We will see all of you in the finale.
- This is kind of an upset. - Yeah.
- Not with Galaxy. - Oh, my God!
- Pangolin is going home! I don't know what to say. - Pangolin is going home.
Pangolin! Pangolin! Pangolin!
Keep it going for Pangolin, y'all.
We are so sorry to see Pangolin go.
- But before we get to the final guesses... - Uh-oh.
...it's time for the Crack the Case Clue Case.
Yes.
- I want that. - Yeah.
It's "Louise" Vuitton.
Men in Black, reveal what's inside.
- One more clue can help us out. - Yes!
- Boxing gloves? Boxing gloves? - Golden boxing gloves.
Like to stand strong in a fight, especially when it counts.
And honestly, this whole thing represents such a huge win for me.
- Oh. - Wow.
Oh, "Pangolian."
All right, detectives, do you want to change your guess or close your case?
I'm gonna close my case because there's only one person
that can sing "A Thousand Miles."
I'm just gonna go with Vanessa Carlton.
So case closed! That's it! Thank you so much.
You know, at first I thought this was Katy Perry.
But now, the boxing gloves?
She released a song called "Battlefield."
Emmy-nominated for "Glee," of which I also starred in.
This is Lea Michele. Case closed.
- A good guess. - Thank you.
- That's a good guess. - Yes.
- Robin, what about you? - Yes.
I'm gonna close my case. I'm going with Michelle Branch.
All right, Jenny?
Um, my artist has toured with Christina Perri,
and then Ken said he worked with her.
Then what put the nail in the coffin was those boxing gloves.
- Yeah. - She has the infamous "Fight Song," you guys.
- "Fight Song." - Oh, yeah. You're right.
This is the amazing Rachel Platten!
- Yeah. - Oh, man!
- Who knows? - Could be.
- All right. - I really like whacking you.
Well, it's time to see if any of our detectives
were right about Pangolin.
You know the drill. Say it with me.
Take it off! Take it off!
♪ Who? Who? Who? Who?
Take it off!
- Aah! Robin, who is it? - I have no idea.
I hope you're not right, Jenny.
- Whoa! Look at that! - Boogie Woogie!
- She's getting some help. - ♪ Who are you, you, you
♪ Oh, you!
Oh, wow!
Singer-songwriter and author Rachel Platten!
- It really was Rachel Platten. - Yeah!
- Well done, Jenny. -Jenny got it right!
You're amazing!
Wow, Rachel, I mean,
you were such a superstar all season long.
- Aww, thank you! Thank you! - Yes!
Did performing behind a mask
change how you connected with music?
You know, it brought me back to when I used to play-- I--
you know, for 13 years, I toured around the country and sold CDs out of my suitcase.
- Wow. - And all those years,
I would just have to prove who I was. No one knew my name.
And it was just about how I could make them feel.
And it really brought me back to that.
- It brought me back to that feeling... - Yeah.
...of this is not about what I look like
or the clothes or the brand.
This is like, can I make you feel what I'm feeling,
touch your hearts, open your hearts?
- Aww. We love you! - And you did.
- We loved you, indeed. - And you did. You did, girlfriend.
Thank you, guys! You're the best!
Are you like the rest of us? Did you even know what a Pangolin was?
No. But, you guys, I'm, like, very spiritual,
and I wanted to understand it, its core.
So I watched a documentary and I sobbed. I sobbed it.
And I was like, "This animal is very beautiful. People need to know."
- Aww! - And the tail is pretty heavy.
- You smacked me with it a few times. - So to sing with, like, six--
- I know. - Girl.
- Well, we all know what a pangolin is now, right? - Pangolin justice!
- I love this place! -Well, we definitely had fun with you.
- Thank you once again. - Thank you!
- It's all come down to this. - I love you guys.
The race to the Golden Mask trophy
finally comes to its epic conclusion next week.
But right now put your hands together
