Nick: Tonight, our masked singers storm the stage
for the round three finals.
It's a gladiator style showdown between good, the prince;
bad, queen cobras;
and a cuddly space bunny.
And with a double unmasking looming, the heat is on.
Several stars have already fallen.
Which masks will be revealed tonight?
♪ who are you?
♪ who, who, who
♪ come on, tell me, who are you? ♪
♪ who are you?
Oh!

- Yeah! - Yes, yes, yes!
Welcome to america's favorite guessing game,
"the masked singer:
The good, the bad, and the cuddly."
- ( western music playing ) - ( squeaking )
tonight, we finish out round three of the season.
Our three remaining singers will take the stage
and sing their hearts out.
Then they'll all come together and have a second chance
to showcase their voice side by side
in the final showdown.
- Whoo! - Oh, my god!
- Robin: Yeah! - Jenny: Yes!
Tonight we'll have two celebrity unmaskings,
and our singers are competing
for that last spot in the season finale
to sing against firefly and ringmaster.
- Can't believe it! - Now y'all give it up for our panelists.
This is so great!
( laughing )
- yes! - Whoo! Yeah!
Now let's check in with our teams
hanging in out in their homebases.
Minding their manners and making good decisions,
it's the good.
- Robin: Yeah! - Whoo!
Come on!
Smirking and lurking, it's the bad.
Yes! The bad girls!
Soft and lush but clearly in no rush, the cuddly,
also down one after losing baby mammoth last week.
- Cuddly! - Aw.
Nick: Look at that. They are cuddling all over the place.
Awkward.
All right, behind every masked singer is a celeb with a story.
Now let's hear the prince read from "the good book of fairytales."
and listen, up because clues can be found anywhere and everywhere.
Prince: Long ago, I was a young toad who dreamed of escaping my small pond.
Carnegie hall.
I knew I had something special to share with the world,
but it felt like no one was listening.
Sheet music. Writer, songwriter.
So I set off on a journey to make my little voice heard.
- Oh, is that a plane? - Well, john travolta's a pilot.
But people only judged me by what they saw on the outside.
Why could no one see the prince I really was on the inside?
I traveled to scary places,
and sometimes felt like turning around and hopping home.
But I knew I had to wipe my tears and keep pushing.
After years of struggle,
people finally started to recognize me for my true talent.
I had finally become the royalty I always knew I was,
and now I stand before you, prince of the stage,
king of my castle, and future winner of team good.
Oh, wow.

- hey! - Wow!
- Yeah! - Yes!
- Wow! - Wow!
Yeah! Yeah!
- Wow. - Wow.
A little stevie.
Prince.
- That was extraordinary. - Wow.
That production was amazing,
and you, prince, just filled the stage.
I mean, you have an unbelievable range,
and this week you was singing stevie wonder?
That was an amazing performance.
- Jenny: Yes. - I love how, you know,
your three performances have been very different,
and tonight you really gave us more of a soulful side.
And, you know, you showed us everything you got, man, warts and all.
Jenny: Oh, my gosh.
I was a waiting for a "wart" pun.
- You knew. You knew it was coming. - I knew it was coming.
Now, prince, what would making it to the finale actually mean to you?
You know, I did this show
because I come from a teeny little town
where I wasn't always understood.
- Wow. - And music was my first love.
And over the years, I've become known
for other things other than music,
but I wanted to come to a place
where I could tap back into that original joy.
- Oh. - You're giving me all the feels.
He's giving me all the feels!
You guys picking up on anything? What do you guys think?
Well, you know, with a voice like that,
you've gotta be a boy bander, and it sounded like
I heard a little bit of aj mcclean in there.
Also what about jc chasez?
- I was getting more of a chasez. - Yeah!
You wanna know why? This week I see a watch.
The song, "god must have spent a little more time on you,"
- boy bander, jc! - Yeah.
That's a good guess, but thinking about singers
who do broadway, someone who's also a movie star,
and if you guys remember the very first clue package
said reach and bend, right?
Reach and "ben" might be ben platt,
who was also in "pitch perfect."
you know what, robin? I'm picking up what you're putting down.
- Okay. - Okay?
I think that this could be broadway star and amazing actor
andrew rannells, okay?
I know him from "book of mormon."
he actually played the king, a royal, in "hamilton."
- oh. - I'm a huge fan of him. He's played carnegie hall.
There it is. Andrew rannells.
Look at that. Sherlock scherzi.
Nick: All right, some great guesses and a great performance.
Give it up one more time for his majesty the prince!
And you can head on back to homebase and rest on your throne.
He might be our winner.
- Prince has my heart, guys. - Nick: Tonight...
- Oh, yeah! - ...Our final round comes to an end.
- So good! - One will make it to the finale,
and two will unmask.
- Showdown! - Who will it be?
No way!
♪ who is that?
Welcome back to "the masked singer: The good, the bad, and the cuddly."
- ( western music playing ) - ( squeaking )
team cuddly is ready to hit the floor tonight
in hopes of moving forward into the season finale
to grab that golden mask trophy.
But before we let him land on this stage,
space bunny has a cuddly tale to tell.
Space bunny: Wanna hear a little tale about your friend space bunny?
See, I come from a tiny burrow where time seem to slow down.
Everyone lived off the land and danced in the streets.
I loved it there.
- It's a crown. - Crown.
But when my mom moved us to a fast-paced city,
I didn't wanna forget where we came from.
So I left a trail of carrot crumbs.
I was young and my new friends were turning into baddies.
- Boom box. - Boom box?
Boomy.
But no one was gonna trick me.
I stayed on my path
and became the tough but cute field rabbit you see today.
It was sometimes intimidating.
Drill. Drill bit.
But as long as I knew how to get home,
I always felt warm and fuzzy.
That trail of crumbs is still behind me,
but I'm not going home yet.
This space bunny is ready to go
where no cuddly has gone before--
the finals.

Ken: Yes! That was outstanding!
It was so good. You were in your element.
- There you go, ken! - Thank you, space bunny!
( laughing )
I hope you're the one to represent us cuddlies in the finale.
Robin: Yeah!
- ♪ go, cuddlies, go, cuddlies - yeah! Yeah!
Clearly you're talented, man.
How are you feeling after that performance?
I'm feeling great, man. It's good to be here.
I'm just trying to get some bling, man.
Where'd you get that bling, man?
I want that bling, son.
I feel like he about to rob me up here.
- I think I got a feeling I know who this is. - You know what?
Oh, gosh, you know, the clue said, "on island time,"
and it made me think of sean kingston.
- Yeah. - Jenny: You know?
And there was a mega clue we had in the last episode.
It was giant dumbbell, and he actually announced that
he's launching a professional boxing league for rappers,
which is awesome!
I would totally go.
And then tonight, we see a crown.
King-ston.
- Oh! - Thank you very much!
Sean kingston, welcome to "the masked singer."
man, I won't lie to you. I saw that crown,
and it just took me off to another direction.
I was like, crown?
I'm thinking someone who starred in "royal tenenbaums," the crown.
Space bunny has gotta be owen wilson.
- ( crowd jeering ) - let me finish.
Stop booing!
There was a dog before in the clue,
and owen wilson had starred in "marley and me."
so it's all-- yes! Now you're coming on team cuddly.
Come aboard the cuddly train. Choo-choo!
So this definitely owen wilson.
Yes.
Robin: Yeah, I don't know about that.
So from the first time that space bunny performed,
we got a caribbean flavor, right?
So we've been on sean paul, but there were some new clues
tonight that go with some of the first clue package.
The first clue package had a red handprint, right?
Caught red-handed, we had mentioned that.
But today there was a boom box for "boombastic."
there are two angels in the package.
Another one of his most famous songs--
- ♪ you're my darling angel - that's gotta be shaggy.
- Oh! Good guess! - Wow.
- Robin: That's gotta be shaggy. - ♪ mr. Lover, lover
♪ boombastic, brother, fantastic ♪
- ( vocalizing ) - ♪ ro, ro
- jenny: Ha-ha! I love it! - Nicole: Okay.
Well, you know what? We're having a lot of fun with the space bunny, right?
- Yeah. Party. - And that's what this show is all about.
Space bunny, you just set the stage on fire.
So you go back to the homebase and cool off.
Y'all keep it going for the space bunny.
We're hitting the road right after this season ends.
The masked singer national tour is coming to a city near you
with your favorite characters brought to life live onstage
including season six's spicy pepper,
natasha bedingfield, as our host.
Plus a mystery celebrity will be unmasked in every city.

- ♪ who is that? - Whoo!
Welcome to the best kept secret, "the masked singer."
before the break, the prince had us feeling it all over,
and space bunny found love with the world,
but now the queen cobras get a crack at the chance
to take the final spot in the season finale.
- Yes! - But first, let's hear a "bad time" story
from our queen cobras.
Queen cobra: Once upon a time, we were three queens from very different worlds.
Each of us with a wicked amount of talent.
- Charlie's angels. - That means there's three now?
And full of enough dark magic...
- Chili peppers. - Tlc.
...To put a spell on any good or cuddly.
We all tried different things to find success.
- Mariah, celine, and ariana. - There's some divas up there.
But it wasn't until fate stepped in
that we discovered our greatest strength.
All: Each other!
With our forces combined,
we became the baddest of baddies
and nothing could stand in our way.

Robin: Yeah!
Wow, and then there was three.
I'm amazed and confused all at the same time.
That performance was smoking.
Wow, I was a fan when there was one,
I was a fan when there was two, and I'm still a fan.
You guys are my favorite singers this season.
From the solos to the blending of the harmonies,
just outstanding. Thank you.
All right, now, queen cobras,
we have learned a little bit about your fairy bad time story,
but what's your favorite fairy tale?
I think we'd all say "the wiz."
- oh! - "the wiz."
wow, that's diana ross.
We have our weaknesses, but we walk together
down that yellow brick road.
So that we can bang down the door.
- That helped you, ken? - Yes, it did.
She said "bang, "wizard."
you know who's starring in the movie adaption of "wicked" is ariana grande.
And when she said "bang," she also did
one of my favorite songs, "bang bang."
and three people sung "bang bang."
the second person, jessie j, has a song called "price tag,"
and sang "bang bang."
now you feel me?
Oh, but we need the third person.
Okay. Last week there was a heart,
and the person who wrote and sang "buy a heart,"
nicki minaj, jessie j, ariana grande.
"bang bang!" I win!
Oh, my gosh, ken.
Don't clap for that.
- ( laughing ) - okay.
So one of the first clues was 1990,
so we've been assuming this has been a popular group from the 1990s.
When I saw them just perform,
I remembered one of my favorite groups
from the 1990s that we haven't mentioned--
the s-s double-w to v-v.
- Hey! - Okay, okay.
And the thinking man,
they have a song called "you are always on my mind."
- that's right. - Yeah.
Three incredible soulful singers, this might be swv.
- Ken: Nice. - Nicole: Yeah.
Ken: I love that guess.
All right, nicole, what you got?
Okay, so we've been on the '90s girl group tip,
and, y'all, after listening to those harmonies
and those beautiful vocals, I think I know who it is.
If you just...
♪ free your mind
...Then you will understand the thinking man statue.
Oh, yeah!
Last week, our mega clue was a heart.
They have a song called "don't let go."
the actual song title is called "love."
don't worry, ken. ♪ you're never gonna get it, you're never gonna get it ♪
you guys, this is en vogue!
Ken: Oh!
Nicole, I like the way you think.
Y'all feeling that?
- Yeah! - Yeah.
Well, one thing we were definitely feeling
was that outstanding performance.
Y'all keep it going for the queen cobras.
All right, queens, now you guys head on back to homebase.
The final showdown is next.
Which two singers will be unmasked,
and who will take the final spot in our season finale?
Hey, it's me, miss masky.

Wow. That was awesome.
- I am so blown away. - Wow.
Whoo!
- Wow. - Mind boom!
Panel, how was that performance?
I'm totally freaking out.
You guys need to go on tour together or come out with an album.
I did not want that to end. Wasn't it amazing?
- Nicole: It felt so good. - Wow!
It's so hard because everybody has an amazing voice,
but their own voice, really different tones and textures,
so I don't know what we're gonna do.
I know. To pick one of who's gonna make it to the final is so hard.
- Yeah. - Ken: Yes.
It is a legit three-way contest
where two people are gonna be eliminated.
Nicole: Yes.
I don't know how you're gonna choose.
That was so much fun,
and seeing them all do their thing together,
I mean, it was really special for us, right?
That's what it's all about.
But it's time for the vote
that will send two mystery singers home.
Queen cobras, space bunny, and the prince have put a good fight,
but there is one spot remaining in the season finale.
Team good is sending two representatives so far with firefly and ringmaster.
Will they send a third,
or will team bad or cuddly break that party up?
Panel, audience, vote now for your favorite solo performance.
The singers' masked lives are now in your hands.
The two singers with the least amount of votes
will be forced to unmask.
The first mystery celebrity singer going home is...
No, no. Let's just change the rules.
...Going to be revealed right after the break.
- Oh, boo! - Old trick cannon.
You're just delaying the pain!
We got two unmaskings to do, y'all.
So don't go anywhere.
♪ who is that?
Welcome back to "the masked singer."
three very talented singers stand before you.
They've been fighting for a chance to grab that coveted golden mask trophy,
but only one mystery singer can advance to the season finale.
Good luck, everyone.
The first singer eliminated tonight is...
This is not okay with me right now.
Space bunny.
- Aw! - Oh, my god, space bunny!
Keep it going for space bunny, y'all.
The prince and queen cobras are still in the game for now.
Go take a moment in your homebases, please.
Oh, that hurts.
Space bunny!
Nick and ken: Space bunny, space bunny!
Come on over here, space bunny.
He's so cute.
All right, we love the space bunny, don't we?
Panel, who do you think is under this space bunny mask?
Well, first of all, space bunny, I just wanna say
- just outstanding job. - Yes.
Entertaining from start to finish.
But this is an amazing performer
that can morph into a space bunny,
like, morphing, like, he was in "loki."
because he had the crown, "the royal tenenbaums."
an amazing actor. This is owen wilson.
Nicole: Wow.
Wait, does owen wilson sing reggae?
This-- wait. This is his coming out reggae party on "the masked singer!"
ah! The album comes out after this.
Nick: All right, who's next? Jenny.
Well, I did start off a little rusty
because I initially thought this could be ll cool j.
You know, "I'm gonna knock you out." there was a dumbbell clue.
And then I got the island time feeling.
And then when I saw that crown,
I said, "that's confirmation."
this has to be sean kingston.
Ken: Great guess.
Nick: Robin, what you got?
Definitely from the very first time you performed
with "jump in the line," and then even the second song,
"all night long" by lionel richie has a very caribbean feel.
So I really do believe that he's representing his roots
with those choices of songs.
So I think it is the amazing
and the extremely funny and entertaining shaggy.
That's a good guess right there, robin. Nicole, what you got?
I'm feeling what robin's saying.
If I have to pick one, nick,
with the boom box, the "boombastic,"
the angel from his song, "angel," my darling angel,
and the furry dog!
Come on, now. Shaggy.
- Robin: Shaggy! - All right, panel,
you've made your final guesses.
Let's see if any of you are correct.
Who's behind the mask? Audience, say it with me.
Take it off.

Come on! Ken, I was just on your show!
I know!
Now that's got the space bunny head, he is free.
- He's turnt up. This is the shaggy we know. - He can move.
Ay!
The cool thing is that you actually played the game.
You disguised your voice every single time.
- Yeah. - He did.
Because you have such a distinct voice.
Oh, yeah, I mean-- I remember when I was doing it first,
I was like, "I can't use my original singing voice."
- because... - Robin: Right.
...If I was like, ♪ lover, lover, boombastic
- ♪ mr. Boombastic - ( cheering )
and then robin, he was like, "you know, I think it's shaggy,
but I'm not hearing that distinctive shaggy sound."
- right, right. - Nicole: But that's why I'm so happy
you did come on the show, shaggy,
because you reminded me of t-pain when he came out, you know, as monster.
Like, I mean, I've done so many songs with you,
but I didn't even know you had that-- you have a beautiful voice.
Well, thank you very much.
One thing about being a performer, it's really about,
you know, your facial expressions, the look.
Give it! Oh, don't hurt 'em. Don't hurt 'em now.
Shaggy: I mean, but with the suit and the head,
you really can't show your--
I mean, so I had to do all kind of-- I was wiggling my butt.
I was like, yo, I'm gonna be animated.
Yo, what's up? Yeah, yo, yo!
Pshew! Aw, yeah, let's go.
Don't we love him?
Love you, shaggy!

I'm so proud of myself. I'm so excited.
I did what I came to do,
and that is show my heart
and just be in this incredible experience
with incredible artists like we have over here.
Nick: Keep it going for the prince.
Wow. So humble.
- He's so-- - he's a true prince.
Yeah, he is a true prince.
Nick: We can't wait to see you in our grand finale.
Come on down here, ladies.
We are so sorry that you guys are leaving our competition.
I'm very upset right now.
Yeah.
But we are super excited to see who's up under those masks.
- Whoo! - Robin: Yes.
Nick: But before we get to our take it off moment,
we gotta hear your final guesses.
- You guys ready? - Yes.
Well, first of all, this was really, really tough,
and you guys are so amazing. Everyone's a winner.
- You guys are just outstanding. - Seriously.
Ken: Seriously.
But let's get back to my journey.
At first thinking anne hathaway,
but this time there were three.
So because of "wicked," ariana grande;
a price tag, jessie j;
and last week's mega clue, a heart, "buy a heart,"
nicki minaj.
I believe this is ariana grande, jessie j, nicki minaj.
Bang, bang, I win!
- Bang, bang, bang! - Bang, bang.
Nick: All right. Nicole? I'm gonna double down, nick.
- Double away. - I think it's en vogue.
You know, we saw the rocket clue.
They have a song called "rocket."
and the thinker statue, right?
With the price tag. It's free. "free your mind."
- right? - Those vocals, I grew up
as a little girl listening to them,
and it would be an honor if they were on our stage,
so I'm really hoping that it's en vogue.
Nick: All right.
Jenny?
Your voices are just so incredible,
and the clue we saw was a bat.
And you guys were in "batman forever."
- yeah. - I agree with nicole.
I'm doubling down, of course, on en vogue.
- Nick: All right. - Robin: Whoo!
Robin, what you got?
There were clues about the thinking statue.
I'm thinking "you were always on my mind" was one of their hits,
so I'm gonna go with s-s double-w to v-v.
Got you. Swv, all right.
All right, the panel has made their final guesses.
Let's see if any of them are close.
You guys ready to find out who's behind the mask?
- Yeah! Yeah! - Audience, say it with me.
All: Take it off! Take it off!
Take it off!
- What is it? - Take it off!
All: Take it off! Take it off!
- Come on! - ♪ I really wanna know
take it off! Take it off!
Aw, it's killing me. Who is this?
Oh, my gosh. Who is it?

One of the most famous girl groups of all time,
- en vogue! - Oh, my god!

Nick: I mean, come on. You guys seen the talent level up here.
- Robin: Wow. - Jenny: Insane.
This is a special moment for me personally.
- Talk to them, robin. - Man, you know, I grew up--
I studied the harmonies, I watched the videos.
- Thank you. - Your voices, your records, those harmonies,
they stand up to the test of time.
- Thank you so much for blessing us by coming on this show. - Nicole: Yeah.
- Robin: We're so grateful. - Both: Thank you.
So now we must talk to you ladies.
I mean, you guys have performed all over the world.
How does a stage like this compare to anything else you guys have ever done?
Well, it's very different for us,
and we loved coming on here
because it took us out of our comfort zone, honestly.
It was challenge singing in the costumes,
but it's also like singing in fantasy land, you know?
- Yeah. - Nicole: Yeah.
It's such a great show,
and it was just a great experience for us.
- It was. - And so we're grateful.
Y'all are the best group, the best,
most female-empowering group ever.
- For sure. - I feel that.
- Thank you. Thank you so much. - I listen to your music,
those lyrics, those vocals.
Still to this day the best hands down,
and I'm just trying to put my words together
- and not freak out in front of you all. - I know.
- I love you so much. So much respect. - Thank you.
Yeah, speaking putting and keeping your words together,
- for seasons this man... - Sorry, sorry.
...Has butchered the name
of one of the most iconic
women groups of all time
by calling you guys "on vogue."
ken, pay your respects!
- I pay my respects. - Yes.
I'm humbly apologizing for mispronouncing your name.
- You didn't mispronounce it. - You didn't.
- Ken: Thank you! - That's how they say it in europe.
See? It's european, nick cannon!
'cause they're global like that!
Ladies and gentlemen, one more time...
And thank you to everybody at home. Thank you.
Nick: ...For the queen cobras.
Thank you so much for being here.
- Yeah! - That's it!
The good have prevailed.
Firefly, ringmaster, and the prince
will battle it out to be named the last mask standing.
- Yeah! - Whoo!
- Yes! - The next time we see them perform
will be in the season finale in a few weeks.
- But before that, you know what we gotta do. - Whoo!
Here to perform unmasked once and for all...
...The artists formerly known as the queen cobras,
give it up for the legendary en vogue!
Whoo!
