Nick Cannon: Each singer in our super six
have managed to keep their identities under lock and key for months.
But tonight, everything changes.
Because it's the semi‐finals
and it's a triple elimination,
and no one is safe.
( ticking )
On the path to the super six,
we've said good‐bye to Snow Owls,
Whatchamacallit, Serpent,
and Broccoli.
Legendary entertainer Paul Anka!
‐ Oh, my God! ‐ Yeah!
♪ Who is that?
‐ Tonight... ‐ ♪ Yeah
‐ ( vocalizing ) ‐ Welcome to the semi‐finals!
...masks collide as the two remaining singers
from each group go head to head.
‐ ( vocalizing ) ‐ The stakes ha been higher The stakes have never
because half of tonight's performers
will be eliminated and unmasked.
This is the hardest moment
out of all seasons of "Masked Singer."
All: Take it off!
( cheering )
‐ ( vocalizing ) ‐ And three wil to the finale And three will advance
to compete for the coveted Golden Mask trophy.
Get cracking on those guesses, America.
‐ ( beat‐boxing ) ‐ I can't even sit down. I can't sit down.
It's time to take on the super six.
Like anything in life, it always comes down to how bad do you want it?
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for our super six,
and keep your eyes out for more clues! Let's go!

We love it! Welcome to "The Masked Singer."
For the first time ever, our super six are here sharing the stage.
Panel, what do you think about this group ensemble?
That's the most good‐looking super six I've ever seen.
‐ Ken: Yes. ‐ Jenny: Right? No doubt.
‐ Robin: There it is. ‐ No doubt.
Now, we're just one performance away from the finale,
and only three can make it.
That means tonight, half of you are going home.
‐ Oh, my God. ‐ Oh.
‐ Yes, it is a triple unmasking. ‐ Crazy.
So, singers, head backstage and prepare for your face‐offs.
You've got quite the battle ahead of you.
‐ Yeah! ‐ It's gonna be pretty intense.
And let's officially say hello to our panel.
And we have a special guest for our super six.
‐ Oh! ‐ This performer has a list of credits
longer than Robin Thicke's quarantine hair.
Here to tickle the ivories and our funny bones,
it's a mystery to even me. Roll him out!
Just too many surprises this season.

Now, are you guys picking up on our mystery guest's identity?
I mean, clearly it's Jamie Foxx
because everyone on this show is Jamie Foxx.
‐ I think it is Carole Baskin. ‐ Robin: Yeah!
‐ Carole Baskin! ‐ Robin: Could be. Could be.
Wow. I am proud to be the host
of the greatest panel on television.
‐ Thank you. ‐ Thank you, Nick.
Let's see if any of you are right.
Audience, you know the drill.
( chanting ) Take it off! Take it off!
‐ Oh, my God! ‐ Robin: Oh!
‐ Nick: Comedian, actor. ‐ Nicole: Wow!
‐ Nick: The one and only... ‐ Craig!
‐ Mr. Craig Robinson, man.
‐ Right here, you got it. ‐ Oh, my God!
Now this is the thing. Most of the world didn't know you could sing like that
or play like that. You got so many talents.
Thank you, man. Can I tell you something?
‐ Yes, please. ‐ I'm about to follow in your very shiny footsteps
‐ 'cause I've got some big news. ‐ Audience: Ooh!
I'm about to be the host of "The Masked Dancer."
‐ What? ‐ Wow! Big news!
‐ Whoa! ‐ Oh, my God!
‐ Oh, snap! ‐ How amazing!
‐ Yeah! ‐ Thank, man. I'm pumped! It's gonna be wild.
Now you can go ahead and use some of them dance moves
and go ahead and hang out with the panel.
Craig Robinson, ladies and gentlemen.
‐ Craig! ‐ Host of the new Fox series "The Masked Dancer."
( chanting ) Craig! Craig! Craig!
Nick: Man, thank you for being on our show, Craig.
I'm having an incredible time. Hello, everybody!
‐ Hello! ‐ Craig Robinson!
So here's how tonight works.
Our super six will face off in their original groups.
Seahorse versus Crocodile,
Jellyfish versus Mushroom,
and Popcorn versus Sun.
The one who wins the face‐off will advance to the finale.
The loser will be unmasked at the end of the show.
‐ Panel: Oh! ‐ Nick: Now we begin tonight's semi‐finals
with a true battle of power vocalists.
‐ Let's do it! ‐ Seahorse, emerge from the mouth.
( music playing )
Seahorse's vocal power and stage presence
have practically been named the eighth wonder of the world.
‐ Ooh, I want some of that. ‐ Seahorse.
And now bring out the Crocodile!
Crocodile has been a total fan favorite.
He's shown all season long he may be the greatest showman.
‐ Oh! ‐ Oh, yeah!
Croc‐ing it up!
Croc‐ing the party.
‐ Game on! ‐ Game on.
So, we're kicking things off with the Seahorse.
She is so talented she could go all the way.
Here's the journey of the Seahorse.
( music playing )
Seahorse: Before "The Masked Singer,"
I'd only ever let small glimpses of my inner diva out.
Even as a young girl, I knew I wanted to sing,
but I was just so darn shy.
But when I finally got the courage,
it was like a faucet turning on.
♪ Make me feel
Now, behind the Seahorse mask,
I feel like that little girl discovering her purpose all over again.
‐ That was spot on. That was crazy. ‐ Right?
And it's time for her to muster up that same courage because it's the semi‐finals.
And I'm pretty sure I know who the Crocodile is.
And if I'm right, I'm very intimidated
because that showman can sing and dance in his sleep.
If I'm going to beat him at his own game,
I've gotta add choreography, and I've never even attempted it before this competition.
Good for her for stepping out of her comfort zone.
If I want to make it to the finale,
I've gotta stop saying no to myself and start saying, "Yes, I can."
Because brave little girls grow up to be fierce women.
Okay, now look up for a clue.
‐ Oh, telescope. ‐ She loves "Star Wars."
Do you see things more clearly now?
We know Seahorse is a favorite. Like, her voice is insane.
But Croc has been, like, a fan favorite.
This is when it comes down to song choice.
‐ And who wants it bad enough. ‐ That's it.
Like, who's willing to leave it all on the stage.
Seahorse, Popcorn.
This feels like what a conversation on acid is like.
Nick: After the break, the Seahorse and Crocodile go head to head.
Oh, Crocodile does not want to come home.
It's anyone's game at this fight night full of surprises.
The Sun is trembling right now.
Plus three incredible celebrity unmaskings at the end of the night.
‐ Oh, my goodness! ‐ Yeah!
I got you right! I got it right!
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer" super six.
‐ Let's hear it for the Seahorse! ‐ Seahorse!

‐ Oh, my God! ‐ Dang!
I think that's what we all like right there.
The Seahorse, ladies and gentlemen!
That was hot. I mean, what a way to open a show,
‐ let alone the semi‐finals! ‐ Robin: Whoo!
Oh, my gosh. If this was the Olympics for vocal acrobatics,
‐ she would take the gold. ‐ Yeah.
There isn't anything you can't do with your voice, honey,
The diversity week after week, and them rhymes and them ad‐libs.
This stage has never seen runs and ad‐libs like that.
Yes. This show is crazy.
You lit my soul up.
It felt like you were dancing in the clouds,
just playing and jumping from cloud to cloud.
That's really beautiful. Thank you.
‐ Ken: Wow. ‐ Nick: Beautiful indeed.
Now, when our singers joined the competition,
they put all their clues into a safe.
Tonight, we'll be taking a look inside of them
to see who on the panel our singers are connected with.
‐ Ooh. ‐ Nick: So, Men in Black,
bring out the safe.
‐ Bring 'em out. ‐ Ooh, fancy.
The Seahorse has a treasure chest safe.
Let's crack this thing open.
‐ It's a party safe. ‐ Oh!
‐ Ah. ‐ Jenny: Oh!
‐ Wait, wait, wait, wait. ‐ Robin: Hey, hey, hey, hey.
‐ What? ‐ Father, stop.
‐ You need lunch money, don't you? ‐ Ken: Oh, yeah, yeah.
‐ Hey, you do what you gotta do. ‐ Nick: All right.
All right, let's see who you have a connection with.
‐ Ken: Oh. ‐ Oh, wait, me?
Now that's interesting. This has never happened.
‐ I guess I get one this season. ‐ Ah.
So, Nick, this is wild,
but even before this show, you were a great host to me.
All: Oh.
‐ She was on "Wild 'n Out." ‐ I mean, I host other stuff, too.
I'm about to say or "America's Got Talent."
‐ But she said "wild." ‐ Ken: Yeah.
‐ Robin, what you got? ‐ Well, you know, it's been bothering me
since the last time she sang, so I've been thinking about it.
The voice, the riffs, um, remind me of Tori Kelly.
Her and I performed together. I recognize that voice.
Also there were a lot of competition show clues,
and she was on "American Idol."
‐ I never hosted that show. ‐ Fantastic.
Then it's not Tori Kelly.
I'm still stuck on the telescope.
‐ I figured it out. ‐ What is it?
Well, this artist has a song called "Meet Me In Space."
Also "spaceship." And I mentioned her before,
I'm thinking this could be Kesha.
All right, all right. Craig, who do you think the Seahorse might be?
I just wrote "telescope."
Thinking of that, she said, "Do you see a connection?"
‐ She's a "see" horse. Okay? ‐ Oh.
Craig: And in telescopes, she's got some songs,
‐ "Space Between" and "Moon." ‐ Ah.
‐ Sia. ‐ Jenny: That's good.
‐ Pretty good. ‐ I like that your wheels are turning, Craig,
‐ I like it. ‐ Robin: Well, whoever she is,
she's one of my favorite singers we've ever had on this series.
‐ Amazing. ‐ All right, incredible job, incredible performance.
Seahorse, keep it going for her.
Did the Seahorse's vocals pack enough punch
to knock out her face off opponent, the Croc?
Tell us what you think.
My whole body is buzzing, y'all.
I know Croc is going to bring it.
I just hope my performance was exciting enough
to carry me to the finale.
♪ Who is that?
Man: Okay, ladies and gentlemen, the time is...
I gotta tell you Seahorse, making it to the finale
would mean the world to me.
I get it. To be honest, I'm totally fan‐girling over here,
but that doesn't mean I don't still want to beat you!
Ha, well may the best mask win.
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer" super six.
Before the break, Seahorse got us off to the races,
but now we hear from her face off competitor, the Crocodile.
So here's a little history lesson involving the journey
of our favorite raging reptile.
( music playing )
Crocodile: Competing as the Crocodile has made me feel more alive
than I have in a long time.
These pink jaws give me the freedom to finally do
all different genres of music.
♪ I ain't gonna live forever
From croc and roll to iconic Britney...
‐ Yeah! ‐ ...t ...to a heartfelt pop ballad.
‐ That was amazing. ‐ And tonight, I picked a song
that's deeply personal to me.
Because I'm not just doing this for myself,
but for my croc‐lings, my kids, my everything.
He has kids. That's a big clue.
I love them so much, I literally drive eight hours to see them after every show
because I don't wanna miss a thing.
And the only thing that matters to me now
is them having the life and the love I didn't as a child.
I've heard Seahorse sing, and I know she has the voice,
but nobody has more heart than me.
So I'm gonna leave it all out on that stage for you.
Now, here's a super clue for you to sink your teeth into.
‐ Pizza rat. ‐ Paisanos! This clue is bellisima!
It's hard because we got Seahorse against Crocodile,
and Crocodile is, like, this real showstopper.
Kinda feels like he's got, like, band boy moves.
Yeah.

Nicole: Croc on!
Where did that come from?
Crocodile, taking us out of this world like "Armageddon."
‐ Yeah! ‐ Nicole: You laid it all out there on the line tonight.
‐ That was amazing. ‐ Right?
Yeah! There was something about that that might be your best performance yet.
‐ Yes! ‐ Because‐‐ you know, because it built.
‐ Yes. ‐ And then when he hit for the high note,
I swear, Ken looked at me like he needed nothing else in life.
That was amazing. Great job, man.
Craig: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dude, I wanna wrestle somebody.
And that song is such a‐‐ you know, a power ballad.
And the way you sang it, corny alert,
but it was like, okay, this is that end of the movie.
This is why people fall in love right there. You know what I'm saying?
So, yeah, thank you.
Well, what is inside the safe of the Crocodile?
Most importantly, who is our singer connected to?
‐ Ooh. ‐ Somebody up there. Men in Black,
bring out the safe.
‐ Yes, Men in Black. ‐ Yeah!
Nick: He got one of those, like, digital safes.
I like the little crocodile back on the safe.
‐ Whoa. ‐ Oh.
‐ It says Craig. ‐ Ken: Oh.
Hey, Craig, you're one of my favorite actors
and it's so cool to be able to share the screen with you again.
‐ Uh‐oh, what? ‐ Again?
‐ What? ‐ Do I get to ask questions?
‐ No. ‐ I mean, he's not gonna get an answer.
‐ He can ask all the questions he wants. ‐ Craig: Oh, but you can tell
by body language, right? Right? Right?
You know how to read Crocodile body?
I‐‐ no, I narrowed it down to 20 people.
Oh!
I've only been on screen with a few professional singers,
and everybody's talking about how it feels like it's a boy band.
‐ Yes. ‐ And only boy band I sang with was Backstreet Boys
in the movie "This Is the End."
‐ Yeah. ‐ Craig: But then the only two people who have croc‐lings
or kids out of the Backstreet Boys
is AJ McLean or Howie D.
Yeah, but you know what? Nick Carter also has kids.
I said Backstreet Boys, not Backstreet Men.
Well, from the rocker voice, I know that AJ lends his voice to that.
Yeah, he definitely has a rocker voice.
‐ AJ McLean. ‐ All right.
All right, all right, all right. Settle.
I think croc‐lings for his three kids.
Jeans block. I tell you no one, and I repeat, no one
rocked a pair of shirtless denim overalls
better than Nick Lachey during his 98 Degrees days.
Pizza rat, New York City.
Nick Lachey has a daughter named Brooklyn and she likes pizza and hates rats.
Look at him. He's stopping. Nick Lachey, yes, you are.
‐ Nick Lachey, guess where‐‐ hey, come on. No, no, no. ‐ Crocodile's done with you.
Come back! No, no, no. No, no. I know you're Nick Lachey
because Nick and Craig have a connection, all right?
Nick Lachey guest‐starred on "The Office".
I remember the scene. He was like, "Yo, I'm Nick Lachey.
‐ Where Darryl at?" Great episode. ‐ Nick: These are lies.
Nick Lachey's never been on "The Office."
‐ Whoa. ‐ I do think that is a good guess though.
‐ I think so. ‐ 'Cause I thought it could be
Nick Lachey at one point as well.
‐ You almost made Crocodile walk off the stage. ‐ Ken: You know what?
It's not the first time a contestant has left during one of my guesses
and it won't be the last. That's all I'm saying.
You know what? Wait, wait, wait.
Nick, I just want to say, with anything in life,
it always comes down to how bad do you want it?
‐ Right. Me, too. ‐ And tonight, I felt like this is the super six.
'Cause I was like, oh, Crocodile does not want to go home.
‐ No. He gave me all the feelings. ‐ Indeed, indeed.
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for the Crocodile
one more time for that amazing performance.
Did the Croc rock enough to beat the Seahorse?
Tell us what you think.
Oh, my God. Here we are. Having to pick one because they're both equally insane.
This is hard.
Okay, studio audience, panel, and superfans at home,
it is time to vote.
Do you want Seahorse...
or Crocodile in the finale?
One of them stays, and one of them goes.
This is one of those free pass moments
where they both should be moving on.
‐ I can't imagine voting against her. ‐ I know.
‐ I would cry. ‐ Nick: Vote now for your favorite.
Oh, this is awful.
Okay, I have the results,
and it is extremely close.
And the singer advancing to the finale is...
‐ Ah, I'm sweating. ‐ I got the heebie‐jeebies right now.
The Crocodile!
‐ Oh. ‐ Wow!
Nick: Congratulations, Crocodile!
The Golden Mask trophy is still within your reach.
‐ Wow! ‐ Yeah!
Keep it going for the one and only Seahorse.
‐ Wow. ‐ Seahorse, unfortunately the road does stop here,
but we are super excited because we get to actually see who the Seahorse is.
‐ Yes! ‐ But we'll have to wait until later tonight,
so flap those fins backstage and get ready.
‐ Ugh. ‐ That one hurt.
‐ Wow. ‐ There's some other amazing singers coming.
‐ I mean, it's a high bar, so... ‐ Totally.
But there is some other singers coming and you're going to be like...
Stop playing!
Nick: There's still two intense face‐offs to come.
‐ Oh! ‐ That was insane!
She just took us all to church.
And later, Seahorse is unmasked...
‐ Aah! ‐ ... ...along with two other star.
‐ You were right, Ken! ‐ Yeah!
Craig, congratulations, and I can't wait for you
as the host of "The Masked Dancer."
I don't know if you know this, but I love to dance.
It'd be nice to hook up your boy with a slot as a contestant.
Yeah, why don't you show him your talents, Ken?
‐ No. ‐ Play "Drop It Like It's Hot."
‐ No. ‐ Sweet moves, Ken. Sweet moves.
‐ Sweet moves. ‐ ( music playing )

Oh, no! He did that.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Nick: Someone call the medic!
Craig, are you okay, Craig?
Do you guys have any oxygen tanks?
‐ Welcome to "Masked Dancer." ‐ Yes! Yes!
‐ Oh! Oh! ‐ Yes!
Oh, yeah, you heard him.
I'm gonna be on "The Masked Dancer."
‐ Wow. ‐ You heard it here first.
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer" super six.
Crocodile just secured his spot in the finale,
and we'll find out who is under the Seahorse mask later tonight.
And now we've arrived at our next face‐off,
and it's Mushroom versus Jellyfish.
‐ Oh! ‐ Emerge from the mouths!
‐ Whoo! ‐ Oh!
Nick: Mushroom has a smooth, smoky baritone
that is bar none one of the best that ever stood on this stage.
‐ Keep it going for Mushroom. ‐ Robin: Shroomy.
Oh, I love Mushroom.
And now, bring out the Jellyfish.
‐ Jelly! ‐ Nick: The Jellyfish has floored the panel
with her cool, modern vocal tone.
Let's hear it for Jellyfish!
One of them is headed to the finale.
The other is unmasking. It all comes down to tonight's performance.
First up is the Mushroom.
( music playing )
I cam here to share a message of unity through music,
and I think it's especially needed right now with the pandemic.
Like many of you, it's taken someone close to me.
And while it's been heartbreaking,
it also taught me to make the most of every moment.
♪ All the things I should have said ♪

‐ Whoa! ‐ Wow!
♪ With 10,000 people watching
Now I'm facing the Jellyfish again
after she's already beaten me,
so there is no shroom for error tonight.
But no matter what, it's been magical
to sing loud and proud as the Mushroom.
Now, put on your thinking caps for this super clue.
What time is it?
‐ Clock. ‐ 3:00?
Time to make it to the final three.
Shroomy!

Yeah.
I think you got a lot more people than Valerie coming over, Mushroom.
‐ Put a little hip‐hop... ‐ Hey. Hey.
‐ ...freestyle on the end. ‐ Nicole: I'm just so proud
because this is the first time Craig is seeing Mushroom,
so I'm just like, "Craig, what do you think?"
‐ My God. He's amazing. ‐ Amazing, right?
It's no words. Maxwell to Donny Hathaway to Amy Winehouse.
‐ Yes. ‐ What can't you do? That's just...
Absolutely. And also, all the things that you stand for,
unity, harmony, togetherness,
that's what we're all fighting for
right now here in America, so God bless you.
An outstanding performance, so let's see who on our panel
the Mushroom is connected to.
Men in Black, bring out the safe.
Yeah!
‐ Oh, my God. ‐ Yeah, yeah.
Mushroom's got, like, a New York apartment as a safe.
Wow. It's a walk‐in safe.
‐ Yeah. ‐ You can hide Ken in there.
Okay.
All right, one big safe.
Ah, look at that! Another little safe.
‐ Wow. A safe. ‐ Oh!
You're real secretive, aren't you?
He does not want you to get in his little safe.
I'm used to breaking into these things.
I wasn't always a TV host.
‐ Robin. ‐ Ah.
‐ Oh? ‐ Ah.
I do have a connection with Mushroom.
‐ Nice. ‐ Robin, I love mixing it up with you again.
Because this is definitely not the first time we've connected.
‐ ( chuckles ) ‐ Nick: I love it.
Mixing it up with me again?
Does anything come to mind? Does it help?
Well, you know, there's just something about everything that you stand for.
Your talent, your voice. I still get a feeling that it's Jaden Smith.
Ooh, I like it.
If Jaden Smith has these level vocals, man, that's a talented family.
Well, he does a little bit of everything, you know?
‐ He does. ‐ Yeah. Well, I'm gonna try someone new today.
‐ Ah. ‐ So I noticed every time Mushroom takes the stage,
when Mushroom walks, he leads with his hips.
‐ That what you noticed? ‐ Yes. I've never seen anyone walk like that.
I walked from the parking lot with my hips to the stage today.
‐ Ken, you kinda like do this. ‐ Whoa! Whoa!
Well, are they a dancer? Maybe I'm not thinking of the right person.
‐ Could this be a dancer? ‐ Uh‐oh, hey, hey, hey.
So then I was thinking of this young talent by the name of Jordan Fisher.
‐ Ken: Oh. ‐ Nicole: Had a lot of "Hamilton" clues,
and Jordan Fisher was in "Hamilton" on Broadway.
Craig: Okay, so you know what?
Just like Nicole, I'm getting a Broadway vibe.
And then that range to go anywhere
brought me into mind of Leslie Odom Jr.
‐ Jenny: Oh. ‐ Leslie Odom.
Nick: Yeah, yeah, that's solid.
A lot of people, Craig, are talking about musicians.
I am thinking of multi‐hyphenates.
Allow me to explain. Alarm clock.
Person I'm thinking is notoriously woke. "Brrring!"
‐ Bring? ‐ Bring? Is that the new sound for woke?
‐ Can I finish? ‐ Brrring!
Okay‐‐ who's, say, flipped on his head.
This person I'm thinking about has flipped from comedian
to sketch comedy actor to game show host, so...
‐ Brrring! ‐ Previous clues of orange make me think orange peel
for his frequent collaborator Jordan Peele.
So I am thinking Keegan‐Michael Key.
‐ Ooh. Brrring! ‐ Brrring!
Mushroom, I don't know who you are yet,
which is killing me, but I just love you
and you're here for a great purpose.
‐ Yes! ‐ Ladies and gentlemen,
one more time for the Mushroom.
Was the Mushroom's performance enough
to squash his opponent, the Jellyfish?
Tell us what you think.
Mushroom: I came to spread the love tonight,
and I think I accomplished that.
I know Jelly is a serious competitor,
but if I've made some people smile today,
then I've already won.
Mushroom has been pretty confident from the start.
I mean, we've heard so many different vocal styles.
Right, but now it's up against Jellyfish,
‐ who's been getting better and better every week. ‐ That's right.
Consistency versus kind of evolution.
‐ Growth. ‐ It's so unpredictable.
‐ Ken: Yeah. ‐ It's seriously balls to the wall.
Like, it's anybody's game.
Hey, do y'all have nightmares about when the costumes talk to you?
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer" super six.
Before the break, Mushroom sprouted a brilliant vocal display.
But now we hear from his face‐off competitor the Jellyfish.
Will she continue to swim through this race with flying colors?
Here's why audiences have all been hooked on the Jellyfish.
( music playing )
Jellyfish: Being the Jellyfish make me feel free
to let out a more daring side of myself.
But when I first got here, I felt like a bit of a jellyfish out of water.
♪ I hope you know, I hope you know ♪
But I pushed through, and each week I've grown more sure of myself.
♪ Did a full 180
Every week you just get better and better.
‐ She's getting confident, isn't she? ‐ Nicole: Yeah.
I can't believe I outlasted a legend in Broccoli
and topped Mushroom, who is super talented.
But I've realized not only can I hang with these singers,
I can beat them.
Going into the super six, I know that only half of us will survive the night,
but I'm feeling at the top of my game and ready to fight for a place in the final.
And now a super clue that's really chill.
Bonjour from "Par‐ee"!
‐ Is she French? ‐ Au revoir.
‐ "Top of my game"? ‐ There's also one Olympic gold medalist, right?
‐ Yeah, yeah. ‐ This might be a gymnast of a tennis player.
Oh.

( vocalizing )
Amazing! Amazing! Wow.
Jellyfish!
An emotional performance
getting us all on our feet.
‐ Right? ‐ Wow. Craig, talk to the Jellyfish.
You were so confident. You wanted to walk out and tear the mask off
and just like, you know, shimmy for everybody. Yeah.
It was lovely. Thank you.
Robin: I think what's so lovely is watching people overcome fears
and find their rhythm, and I really felt like this was
really you singing from your heart tonight. Great job.
Yes!
All right, so, what is Jellyfish hiding in her safe?
Men in Black, bring it out.
Water?
Oceanography type of safe.
Let's see, let's see. What do we ha‐‐ okay, there's a...
‐ A shell. ‐ It's just a shell.
‐ Michelle Obama. ‐ Uh, no.
‐ Should I listen to it? ‐ ( seagulls squawking, waves crashing )
‐ Jellyfish: Dr. Ken. ‐ ( gasps )
‐ What? ‐ I'll be direct, we've never met,
but I can't say I didn't try.
‐ What? ‐ Ken, you have a fan.
At last! But she said we haven't met,
but I can't say I haven't tried.
‐ That mean she text you? ‐ Slid into his DMs.
Got Jellyfish in your DMs?
There is nothing depressing about a 51‐year‐old man looking at his DMs.
Nothing. Okay, just through process of elimination,
‐ this may be an Olympic gold medalist. ‐ Yeah.
But when I noticed all the white,
maybe it's not a gymnast. Maybe it's a skier.
Maybe it's someone in the Winter Olympics.
If we're thinking, like, snow and maybe the "X" could be X Games.
‐ Whoa. ‐ My wife and two daughters are huge fans of Chloe Kim.
‐ Jenny: Oh. ‐ Such a pioneer for Asian Americans.
‐ Wow. ‐ I like that. I like where you're going.
‐ A very heartfelt guess right there. ‐ Yeah.
‐ Nicole, what you thinking? ‐ Originally, I was getting the Charli XCX vibe,
but this week with the Eiffel Tower clue,
this artist is French, French Canadian, I believe.
‐ Grimes. ‐ Ah.
It said "pushed through."
Well, Grimes pushed through
a little baby in May with Elon Musk.
‐ Robin: Oh. ‐ There were a lot of "Xs" in the clue packages
for their baby's name, which I'll pay anyone who knows their name.
You know, I believe that the Eiffel Tower, the Paris connection,
is because of the Olympics are gonna be in Paris in 2024.
‐ Oh, yeah. ‐ So, I think it would be somebody
who is going to compete.
Gabby Douglas is around 25, 26 years old,
has been through some ups and downs
'cause there was an Ups and Downs Drive
for the roller coaster gymnast career.
I'm gonna go with Gabby Douglas.
‐ Okay. ‐ Whoever you are, it's very inspiring.
And something just tells me you have the heart of a champion.
I mean, well done. Amazing.
The Jellyfish, ladies and gentlemen.
‐ Keep it going for her. ‐ Ah.
Nick: Did the Jellyfish sink the Mushroom and swim her way into the finale?
Tell us what you think.
Studio audience, panel,
and superfans at home,
it is time to vote.
Do you want Mushroom,
or do you want Jellyfish
to join the Crocodile in the finale?
Vote now for your favorite.
It is impossible to vote somebody off of this.
Jenny: I know.
Nick: The people have spoken,
and the singer heading to the finale is...
‐ Uh‐oh. ‐ I hate this part.
Yeah.
Mushroom!
Yes, Mushroom!
Nick: Mushroom, big congrats.
We'll see you in the finale along with Crocodile
and the winner of our next face‐off, Popcorn versus Sun.
Look at that walk.
Nick: Gonna be rehearsing for that Golden Mask trophy.
‐ Jellyfish, come on down here. ‐ Jelly!
Nick: Keep it going for the Jellyfish, ladies and gentlemen.
Unfortunately, we have to say good‐bye to you,
but we can't wait to see who you are, right?
‐ Yes! ‐ Nick: We'll have to wait until the end of the night,
‐ so swim backstage and get ready. ‐ Jellyfish!
‐ Nick: Coming up, it's our final showdown.
‐ Oh! ‐ That was a religious experience.
‐ Yes. ‐ One of these divas will be unmasked
with Seahorse and Jellyfish at the end of the show.
‐ Oh! ‐ Ken: Whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer" super six!
We're only one face‐off away
from finding out who's going with Crocodile
and Mushroom in the finale...
‐ Whoo! ‐ ...and who will be unmasked with Seahorse and Jellyfish.
We've reached our final face‐off of the night.
It's Popcorn versus Sun.
Emerge from the mouths, ladies.
Popcorn has wowed us all season long
with her playful presence and legendary vocal power and projection.
Make some noise for Popcorn.
Hi, Popcorn.
Lovely Popcorn.
Meanwhile, Sun has stunned us with her multi‐octave range
and a voice that cannot be matched.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Sun.
Oh, this is gonna be so good!
Wow. How do we choose between two diva heavyweights?
Only one of them can make it into the finale.
And first up is the Popcorn.
Pop it.
I feel so blessed to be here as the Popcorn.
Not just because I get more quality time
with my main squeeze Nick,
but because being here, I can take people to a happy place
and spread a message of positivity.
( vocalizing )
Beautiful.
But it's also been emotional for me.
Like, I've literally been crying under my mask at the panel's comments.
All of the emotion, the strength,
and the vulnerability all came through in that performance.
Outstanding. Gorgeous.
Going up against Sun tonight, I know she has a killer voice.
But I'm gonna do what I've been doing
since all these other creatures were in diapers.
‐ Since they were in diapers? ‐ Oh, this popcorn is seasoned.
I'm gonna go out there and rock it,
live the message of the song,
just like I've done for decades.
I've rehearsed and prepared every waking moment
because I'm determined to cross winning "The Masked Singer"
off my Popcorn bucket list.
Now, pay attention to this tasty clue.

Oh!
Whoa, come on! Whoa!
‐ Nick: Wow. ‐ Whoa!
‐ That was insane. ‐ It's raining popcorn.
‐ Golly. ‐ She brought out the spirit. I was in the zone.
‐ Oh, my good Lord. ‐ Right?
‐ Whoo! ‐ I can't even sit down. I can't sit down.
‐ I got the spirit. ‐ Ken: That was not a performance.
That was a religious experience.
We have never experienced anything like this on the show.
‐ Robin: Wow. ‐ Ken: It was transcendent.
I mean, you can tell it's a semi‐final performance. She came to win.
Blazing the stage indeed. What is the Popcorn hiding in her safe, though?
Men in Black, please bring out the safe.
Oh.
( beeping )
Oh, there's a lot of candy and popcorn.
Ah.
Jenny, we've definitely talked before,
but never about how we both
are published authors.
‐ Nick: That's two clues. ‐ Ah.
Well, both of the people that I think
are published authors and have been on my show.
Based off the sound of your voice,
I'm thinking Mary Wilson.
I know Mary Wilson is a published author.
And then also, I thought Taylor Dayne
because there was, like, crimped hair,
'80s, like, Rubik's Cube.
Taylor has a song called "Unstoppable," I believe.
And there was that stop sign clue,
so this clue fits for both guesses.
‐ Craig: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. ‐ All right.
Robin: Could be. But I'm thinking from the voice,
I want to say Tina Turner.
But, you know, just to throw in some fun
'cause when I look at this costume,
I don't know why, it's just screaming Bette Midler,
another amazing movie star diva.
Goes with the popcorn 'cause she's a movie star.
And she's been doing her thing since the other singers were in diapers
‐ just like she said. ‐ Bette's got that grit in her voice, too,
and a powerful vocalist.
I think when you look at the clue package,
it lends itself towards Bette Midler with the personality.
Great guess. Now Craig looks like he's taking this very seriously.
Me? Oh, my God, y'all be over there doing homework.
‐ Whoa. Whoa. ‐ That's our job.
You have a fricking magnifying glass.
Because I'm near‐sighted!
Craig, who is this?
I'm stuck on decades and the clue with the stop sign,
and I keep coming back to Mary Wilson.
♪ Stop in the name of love
‐ I like that. ‐ So you stole that one from Jenny?
‐ Yeah, yeah, yeah. ‐ That's what families do.
Well, someone who definitely stole the stage,
y'all make some noise for the one and only Popcorn.
‐ The Sun is trembling right now. ‐ Oh, my goodness!
Nick: Did the Popcorn take a bite out of her competitor
and seal her spot in the finale?
Tell us what you think.
Popcorn: The panel really buttered me up with their comments,
and I'm praying that means I secured my spot in the finale.
I'm ready to show Croc and Mushroom what I've got.
Nicole: The people who are going home today,
they could have won on another season.
‐ 100%. They all came to win. ‐ Yeah.
‐ It's slippery up here. ‐ Hey!
‐ Oh! Look out! ‐ All the popcorn.
‐ Oh! Popcorn! ‐ Popcorn in the hot tub.
Coming up, it's the Popcorn's chief competitor the Sun.
But first, check out this exclusive sneak peek of "The Masked Dancer."
( music playing )
Who are you?
How is that possible?
Fire!
Oh, my God.
Man: Okay, ladies and gentlemen, the time is now...
Hey, Popcorn, I know our rivalry is really heating up,
but do you think you could point that fan over here? I'm burning up.
Sure thing, Sunny girl. I'm all for good sportsmanship.
Ah, thanks, Popcorn.
You're not salty, you're sweet.
You "buttah" believe it.
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer" super six event.
Before the break, Popcorn took us to church.
She's facing her hottest competition yet‐‐ the Sun.
Here's a bit more about this beaming talent's incredible journey
to the super six.
( music playing )
Sun: I decided to do this show
just for the pure fun and joy.
And I feel like I'm five years old again
back at dance competitions
where I could just move and be free.
But what I didn't expect is for this to awaken
the competitor inside me.
♪ I'm crying
♪ 'Cause I love you
‐ Whoa! ‐ Oh, my God!
This was the best opening
of any season of "The Masked Singer."
I have a really hard time expressing my feelings.
In the past, I've been afraid to speak dreams out loud,
fearful they'd be struck down.
But here, I'm not holding back.
I love how this show can change people's life.
I now have a hunger and drive in me to win this entire thing.
So tonight against Popcorn,
my strategy is to match her emotion and intensity
with a song that exposes my entire soul to the world.
'Cause I really need to shine the brightest
for the last spot in the final three.
Now let me break out this red hot clue.
‐ Whoa. ‐ Breathing fire. Alicia Keys?
Sun: Sorry!
Craig?
This next singer? Unbelievable.
‐ Damn. ‐ I don't know, though.
That Popcorn just blew up the stage.
Yep.

Wow.
Bow down to the Sun.
Jenny is standing on her chair.
Craig is emotional.
Nicole in tears.
What do you want to say to the Sun?
‐ I just love you. ‐ Jenny: I know.
The reason why I love music so much,
it transcends anything, and you have such a gift.
Like, just listening to you,
all I could do is just exhale and just breathe.
Just listening to you, I could listen to you forever.
You have a voice of the heavens.
That was flawless. You are flawless. Thank you.
Amazing.
Nick: Craig, I saw you.
You had your head in your hands
you were so emotionally moved.
All my life,
I've felt...
the heat of the sun.
I had never heard the voice of the sun until now.
Jenny and Nicole: Wow.
‐ Wow. ‐ Nick: It's times like these
we all need a little more sunlight in our lives.
So, what's inside the safe of the Sun?
Let's all find out together.
Men in Black, bring out the Sun's safe.
Bring it out.
It's unlocked.
Uh‐oh. Got you some bling here.
‐ She's got a gold medal. ‐ A gold sun for Nicole.
‐ Ooh, I'm honored. ‐ Nicole.
Well, it's great to see you on this big stage
'cause last time we met was in the bathroom.
‐ I love it so much! ‐ Talk about angelic.
I thought it was gonna be something glorious.
I've had the most glorious meetings in the bathrooms at award shows.
Nicole, is it ringing a bell?
Ironically, I've met a lot of people in the bathroom, so...
Okay, all right.
Well, it was always in all of the clue packages,
there were, like, blue wings
or blue butterflies or something.
We obviously know her for her first major hit "Blue."
I think it could be LeAnn Rimes.
‐ Ah. ‐ That's pretty good.
‐ But... ‐ Uh‐oh.
...there was the fire clue, right?
And I'm obsessed with this album,
"The Firewatcher's Daughter."
So it could be Brandi Carlile or LeAnn Rimes.
‐ All right. ‐ Yes.
So the question is did you meet either one of them in the bathroom?
I actually think I've met both of them in the bathroom.
That's where girls, like, bond.
Nick: Chilling in the bathroom?
Okay. Ken, who is the Sun?
Okay, ah, man, this is ju‐‐ I'm just gonna say it.
How about Kate "Hud‐sun" for Sun?
‐ Ah. ‐ Oh, wow.
The sunny daughter of Goldie Hawn.
‐ There was gold in the clue. ‐ Yeah.
Also was in the movie "Fool's Gold," Kate "Hud‐sun."
Literal. Sun. Love it. Drop it.
‐ Okay. ‐ Wow. He just dropped the mic right there.
Yeah, I'm scratching what you sniffing.
Who is this, Craig?
So, I have zero shot at this.
I can't even steal somebody's.
I gotta go off the clues,
and I'm stuck on the fire‐breathing.
Dragon. Mother of Dragons. Khaleesi.
‐ Oh. ‐ Craig: And the Sun is head to toe gold,
and she's been nominated for, like, four Emmys.
‐ It's Emilia Clarke. ‐ Nicole: Yes.
‐ Oh, that's good. ‐ That's a great guess.
‐ Thank you, thank you. ‐ Well, one thing we do know,
this was an amazing performance.
One of the best we've ever had.
Ladies and gentlemen, keep it going for the Sun.
Lord have mercy.
This is a tough competition.
‐ Right? ‐ Popcorn lifted me way up in the air.
And the Sun said, "Hey, like, take the training wheels off.
‐ You can fly. Go ahead." ‐ Yeah.
Nick: These are our panel's Sun guesses.
Is she the one who will advance to the finale?
Tell us what you think.
It is time for the panel, studio audience,
and our superfans at home
to vote for which queen they want to see battle
Crocodile and Mushroom in the finale.
‐ Ugh. ‐ Nick: Popcorn versus Sun.
‐ This is so hard. ‐ Oh.
One of them stays, and one of them goes.
‐ Oh, man. ‐ Vote now for your favorite.
Okay, I have the results.
And the diva with the least amount of votes is...
Golly.
‐ You know what I'm gonna say. ‐ Oh!
‐ Oh, man. ‐ I gotta build the suspense!
We'll unmask one of them after the break.
♪ Who is that?
The singer taking the last spot
in the finale is...
‐ Oh. ‐ Oh, man.
Robin: There's no winner here. There's no winner.
This is the hardest moment
out of all seasons of "Masked Singer."
The Sun!
‐ Oh, my gosh! ‐ Congratulations, Sun.
You made your way into the finale. You go rest up.
But we definitely have to make some noise for the one and only Popcorn.
This amazing queen right here.
‐ Oh, we love you. ‐ Nick: We hate to see you go,
but I cannot wait to see who you are.
I'm really baffled by this one.
But before we find out who you are, Popcorn...
‐ Oh, no. ‐ ...let's retrieved the panel's
first impression guesses from the vault!
Men in Black, bring 'em out.
Now, it's been months.
‐ Ugh. ‐ These should be fun.
And remember, panel, if your first impression guess is correct,
you get a point towards the Golden Ear trophy.
‐ ( chuckles ) ‐ Oh, gosh.
You know what? Everyone has the exact same guess...
‐ What? ‐ No way!
...except for Nicole.
Nicole, Diana Ross.
I said Diana Ross because that first time we heard her sing,
I got legendary vibes, right? And then I saw a crown.
And I was like the Queen.
And I was like Diana Ross, skee‐ska, ahh!
Then we got a lot of New York vibes with "Sex and the City,"
the matzo balls. Like, oh, she's Jewish.
But what really gave it away is that tone,
so I'm gonna double down with Jenny.
I'm pretty sure it's Taylor Dayne.
‐ Taylor Dayne, all right. ‐ Robin: Great guess.
Now, everyone else on the panel wrote Tina Turner.
‐ Tina Turner. Whoo! ‐ Jenny: Tina Turner.
‐ Robin, you sticking with that? ‐ Well, I started with Tina,
but then thinking about other classic divas
and the outfit kind of reminded me of a Bette Midler.
But, no. The voice, the legs, very familiar with all of that.
So I am going to stick with the amazing Tina Turner.
‐ I'm gonna stay with Tina. Come on, Tina! ‐ All right. Doubling down.
Come on, Tina! Butter my popcorn!
‐ Jenny, you sticking with Tina Turner? ‐ You know, first of all,
I want to tell you, Popcorn, how blessed we were to have you on this show,
'cause your voice is absolutely breathtaking, powerful.
And I know that you are a legend,
and that's why I'm so excited to say who you are,
and I just feel, like, a little bit geeked out
because I grew up listening to you.
I made out with my boyfriends to your songs.
That voice and those clues like crimped hair, Rubik's Cube‐‐
‐ Taylor Dayne. ‐ All right.
Tina Turner to Taylor Dayne.
Ken Jeong, are you sticking with Tina Turner?
Yes, I am, and I'll tell you why.
‐ Aww, great. ‐ I honestly don't know
who could sing better than this than Tina Turner.
This is the queen of rock and roll.
Even the book clue, like, author of a book.
Also the stop sign clue for the unstoppable Tina Turner.
I want that Golden Ear so bad, Nick, I can taste it.
‐ Or hear it, whatever. ‐ Nick: All right. My brother Craig?
Okay, so, she said decades.
Now I'm thinking the Marvelettes,
the Pointer Sisters, the Supremes.
And then who's got a book out?
Mary Wilson put a book out just last year.
And then I saw "stop"‐‐ in the name of love.
The Supremes. So I'm going with Taylor Dayne.
‐ Nicole: Oh, my God. ‐ Doing the pivot.
‐ You do the same thing, Ken. ‐ I do not. I'm based in logic and thought.
‐ And science. ‐ Nick: All right. We're gonna find out which one of you
can even possibly be right.
You've made your final guesses.

And now it's time for the second unmasking of the night‐‐ Jellyfish.
We can't wait to see who you are, right?
‐ Yes! ‐ But first,
let's retrieve the panel's first impression guesses from...
‐ Oh, no. ‐ ...the vault.
Men in Black, bring 'em out.
Do you guys remember what you said?
‐ No! ‐ I have no idea.
‐ I forget who I said. ‐ Nick: Now, Robin,
your first impression guess was Addison Rae.
‐ Robin: Yes. ‐ That's a good one.
Well, there was a lot of Instagram,
and there was Instaclam,
but I'm gonna go back to my fierce five guess.
I'm gonna go with our Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas.
Gonna stick with Gabby. All right.
Now, Jenny, your first impression guess...
‐ ( nervous chuckle ) ‐ Daisy Ridley.
Oh, that's right. There was a lightsaber clue.
So that made me go, "Oh, it could be her."
And then I moved out of the actress world
and decided to go more athlete because I feel like there were gymnast clues,
like baby powder, her parents driving her everywhere,
the ups and downs.
So I think this is McKayla Maroney.
All right. That's a good one.
Nicole, your first impression guess, Sofia Richie.
‐ Yes. ‐ That's pretty good.
‐ You sticking with it? ‐ Nicole: I'm gonna change.
I am a big fan of her tone and her voice.
We got the new clue with Paris, Eiffel Tower.
She's French Canadian, so I'm gonna go with Grimes.
Ken, you said Yara Shahidi.
‐ You sticking with it? ‐ I've thought a variety of people over the weeks.
But now, just thinking, like, someone who I admire
and someone who is a national hero
and someone who won her Olympic gold medal at the age of 17.
I'm gonna go with my guess. I'm gonna go with Chloe Kim.
‐ Wow. ‐ Jenny: Craig, if you're gonna steal something,
it would be this guess. This is the most solid.
She spoke like a champion.
She said, "I realized not only could I hang with these people,
I can best them."
You know, and that was like‐‐ that's somebody who's always reaching higher.
‐ I'm going with Chloe Kim. ‐ Okay.
Even if I don't get the guess right,
the fact that Craig copied my guess?
I'm already a winner.
‐ There was‐‐ ‐ I really appreciate it. Say no more.
When you were talking to this person, the costume went away.
Thank you. Shh, shh, shh.
‐ Thank you. ‐ It went away.
( both babbling )
All right, all right, all right!
Some weird comedic genius moment going on right here.
‐ Nicole: Oh. ‐ Okay, panel,
you have made your final guesses.
Let's see if any of you are right.
Jellyfish, the world wants to know.
Audience, say it with me.
‐ ( chanting ) Take it off! Take it off! ‐ ♪ Who are you?
♪ Who, who, who, who
♪ Who are you?
♪ Who, who, who, who
♪ Who
‐ Who is it? ‐ ♪ I really wanna know
‐ ♪ Who ‐ Take it off.
‐ ♪ Tell me who are you ‐ Oh.
♪ Who are you?
Gold medalist Chloe Kim!
‐ Oh, yeah! Yeah! ‐ You were right, Ken!
‐ Kenny! ‐ Nick: Wow!
Yeah!
Ken Jeong right?
I got you right! I got you right!
Congratulations, Ken. I feel like you won "The Masked Singer."
‐ I don't know. ‐ You make him so excited.
You were amazing tonight.
Thank you for being an inspiration
to my daughters.
My daughters are 13, in middle school.
You are a huge name in our household,
and you inspire us all.
Thank you and I wish you continued success. Oh, my God.
Thanks, Ken.
What was our missed connection?
I watched a YouTube video of you answering, like, medical questions.
‐ Yeah. ‐ I was laughing the whole time, it was so funny.
So I was like, "Oh, I should DM him,"
'cause that's, like, what we're doing nowadays, right?
‐ She did DM you. ‐ Oh, you‐‐
I DMed you on Instagram and literally not‐‐
‐ you didn't even read it. ‐ Ken: I didn't‐‐ I didn't know!
‐ You left it unread? ‐ I didn't even get a "seen."
‐ Really? ‐ No, you do not do that!
‐ I did not‐‐ ‐ That's the ultimate millennial disrespect, son!
‐ Ken! ‐ I'm so sorry! When I get home,
‐ I will DM you back and say thank you. ‐ Oh, now you will.
‐ Ken: I promise. I will‐‐ ‐ Well, okay. I see how it is.
So you're gonna leave me undelivered for two years!
‐ Two years? ‐ Two years!
Oh, no, but serious‐‐ it's all good. All jokes.
I'm such a big fan of all of you guys,
‐ so this whole experience was just so amazing for me. ‐ Likewise.
I've never performed in front of anyone before.
‐ What? ‐ Yeah.
Watching your journey on this show was inspirational.
We saw you come out here a little bit nervous,
‐ and each week you just blew our minds. ‐ Thank you.
Everything about you says champion.
You were fantastic.
You guys gave me so much confidence after each week,
and it's just been such a fun experience to, like,
be able to put myself out there, be vulnerable.
‐ Aww, we love you. ‐ Like, I really, really appreciate it.
To sing one last time, unmasked once and for all,
the artist formerly known as the Jellyfish,
Chloe Kim!
Yay!
♪ Not really sure how to feel about it ♪
♪ Something in the way you move ♪
♪ Makes me feel like I can't live without you ♪
♪ And it takes me all the way
♪ I want you to stay
Whoo!
( vocalizing )
♪ I want you to stay
Yay!
( vocalizing )
‐ Yeah! ‐ Chloe Kim, ladies and gentlemen.
Amazing! Coming up,
it is our final unmasking of the night‐‐ Seahorse.
We'll get to see what famous face
is under the mask after the break.
♪ Who is that?
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer" super six!
We're about to unmask our final celebrity of the night‐‐ Seahorse.
But before you take it off,
let's retrieve the panel's
first impression guesses from the vault.
Oh, no!
Nick: Men in Black, bring 'em out!
Let's see if our panel can snag a point here.
So far, none of you have landed a correct first impression guess tonight.
‐ Oh, no. ‐ None of these are bad, though.
‐ Oh, thanks. ‐ Ken, you believed that the Seahorse was Fergie.
‐ Ah. ‐ It's not terrible.
Are you still sticking with that?
First of all, I just have to say, Seahorse, amazing.
This was really the toughest elimination round
we've ever had in the history of "The Masked Singer."
You easily could have won this
and everything you did was flawless.
So I applaud you. I just honestly think you're so effortless
‐ and outstanding. ‐ Absolutely.
I really just want to say that.
To answer your question, I'm thinking that telescope,
which is, I think, the biggest clue,
and when you see telescope, what do you see? Stars.
Someone had a Hollywood Walk of Fame star.
Someone at nine years old won "Star Search."
I'm thinking of Christina Aguilera.
From Fergie to Christina Aguilera.
Yeah. She said "inner diva" in the clues.
There is no bigger inner diva than "Xtiva."
‐ Did you just call her Xdiva? ‐ No, no. Xtina.
Oh.
Well, Robin, your first impression guess,
you believed it was JoJo.
I haven't gotten JoJo since the first vocal.
I've been thinking about it,
and there was a smile with a broken tooth.
And I'm thinking that that might be a reference
to Tori Kelly's song "Unbreakable Smile."
And there's a guitar, which she's known
for being a guitar player.
And if I have to go with my final guess,
I think it's Tori Kelly.
‐ Okay, okay. ‐ Nick: Jenny,
your first impression guess? Halsey.
Um, you know what? That's not bad
'cause I was wrestling between Kesha and her.
And "Halsee"‐‐ Halsey,
she has a song called "Angel On Fire."
And fire was a reoccurring clue over and over again,
so I think I will stick, and I'm proud of it‐‐
Halsey.
‐ Nick: There it is. ‐ Wow.
‐ There it is. ‐ Sherlock Scherzie.
Oh, no. I don't remember what I put.
You put Maren Morris.
Massive fan of Maren Morris.
Hella vocals on that girl.
But circling back, echoing what Robin was saying,
I know that voice, and I'm a massive fan.
There isn't anything she can't do.
And because of her church roots
and winning Grammys for her gospel album,
‐ I believe it's Tori Kelly. ‐ All right.
You seem quite confident.
Brother Craig Robinson,
what is your final guess?
First I felt like it was Sia,
and then I felt like it was Tori Kelly, and then‐‐
‐ I can't. ‐ So, there you go.
Are you gonna agree with the two singers on the panel?
They sound so sure.
But I think you all covered it beautifully.
Craig is exactly how I was in high school.
Whatever the smart people said, I'm going with them.
Are you not dying with anticipation?
I can't wait to see her take this Seahorse head off.
‐ I know. ‐ Okay, panel,
you've made your final guesses.
Let's see if any of you,
including Craig Robinson, are close.
Seahorse, we need to know, who are you?
Audience, say it with me.
‐ ( chanting ) Take it off! Take it off! ‐ ♪ Who are you?
♪ Who, who, who, who
‐ ♪ Who are you? ‐ Oh, my gosh.
♪ Who, who, who, who
( chanting continues )
‐ ♪ I really wanna know ‐ Ah!
♪ Tell me, who are you, you, you ♪
‐ Oh! ‐ ♪ Who are you?
Oh, my goodness! Tori Kelly!
‐ Robin: Yeah! ‐ Nick: Singer‐songwriter...
‐ Yeah! ‐ ...and one of the greatest voices of this generation!
‐ Oh, my God! ‐ Wow.
I love it. Nicole, a friend of yours.
‐ Someone you sang with before. ‐ Oh, my gosh. Sis, baby girl.
I'm not gonna lie.
I'm gutted that you're going home
because we thought that she could take
the entire competition.
There isn't anything you can't do, honestly.
Like, you're the best vocalist we've ever had on this show.
‐ Oh, my God. Thank you so much. ‐ You were outstanding.
‐ Outstanding. Outstanding. ‐ Thank you.
So what would make you want to do "The Masked Singer"?
I've always even just thought of myself as just a singer.
So I thought it would just be fun to come out here
and show a whole 'nother side of myself,
be a little more sassy, you know, show some choreo.
And I can't be as sassy anymore.
I have to, like, go back to being myself.
She walked out there and it was all about this.
And I was like, "That's not Tori Kelly's vibe at all."
Hey! I think she snapped more in this season
‐ than she has in her entire life. ‐ Her entire career.
‐ Robin: I swear to God. ‐ I think that's true.
Y'all don't go through what the clues meant?
‐ He wants to know what the telescope was all about. ‐ Yes.
Okay, the telescope was because
I was on "Star Search" when I was ten.
‐ It was the first time I was ever on TV. ‐ Oh, wow.
Yeah, you were close. You were close.
‐ Nicole: You were close. ‐ Very close. Look at me.
I could have won probably. What was that rainbow frog?
A nod to when I got to sing
"Rainbow Connection" with Kermit the Frog.
‐ Oh! ‐ You have made duets with Robin Thicke
‐ and Kermit the Frog? ‐ Wow.
I don't wanna know who's better. I don't wanna know.
Honestly, I was just so thrilled
to hear all the nice things you guys said.
And I just feel more like an entertainer now,
just as a whole, and I think just‐‐
I'm just excited for what this means for the rest of my career, too.
‐ Yay. ‐ And just‐‐ it's all good things.
And again, we are privileged to have you here.
‐ Thank you so much. ‐ Can I just say thank you
to my brother Craig Robinson as well,
host of the new Fox series "The Masked Dancer."
Next week, ladies and gentlemen,
tune into our special holiday sing‐along.
‐ Yes! ‐ And then in exactly two weeks,
it's our most competitive finale to date.
Sun, Crocodile, and Mushroom will square off
for that infamous Golden Mask trophy.
And to sing one last time,
unmasked once and for all,
the artist formerly known as the Seahorse,
the one and only Tori Kelly!
