We are in for a good night.
- Welcome to "the masked singer." - yes!
Tonight, three mystery celebrities
Are giving us suds and solos
With songs that they belt out in the shower.
That's right. It's shower anthems night.
- Jenny: I love it! - Robin: Yeah!
I guess it's not bring your shirt to work day.
- Rita: Right? - You know what?
That reminds me, I need to call my sit-up coach. All right.
You guys ready to keep this going?
- Let's go! - Yeah!
Tonight our characters will sing,
The audience and panel will vote,
And the singer with the least amount of votes
Is finally revealing their famous face.
- Yeah. - The two remaining singers will face off in a battle royale,
And from there, our group c champion will be named.
Whoo!
Now, in case you didn't catch that math,
We are in for a double elimination tonight.
- Oh, that's right! - Oh, no! I forgot!
But there's a life preserver floating around
For one of our celebrities. You know what it is.
- Bring it out! The ding dong keep it on bell. - Rita: What?
- Oh, my god! There it is! - It's real!
- ♪ hallelujah - ( tolling )
Okay, panel, you can save an eliminated singer from unmasking tonight.
Just call on the bell and ring it loud for all to hear.
But remember, you can only use it once
- In these group final rounds. - Oh, rita's got the ringer.
I don't know who trusted me with this
Because I'm just too excited to be able to ring this bell!
- Ken: Wow, that's right. - Audience, you guys ready?
- Robin: Yeah! - First up, it's clock.
Before she graces the stage,
Let's find out what song clock sings in the shower,
And why it's her shower anthem.
Clock: Tv theme night was such a good time.
♪ ain't we lucky, we got 'em, whoa! ♪
Yes, queen!
♪ good times
( vocalizing )
That was a timeless vocal. Wow.
I'm honored to be in the group c finale,
Because in my line of work we love a curtain call.
In this case, a shower curtain call.
There's something about the shower that gives me the courage
To belt out the biggest diva hits of all time.
And let me tell you, I've been amongst them.
- Sweetheart candy. - Hmm.
You see, I was nominated for one of the most prestigious awards
Against some legendary ladies--
Queen aretha and natalie cole.
I didn't think I'd win, so I stayed home
And spent the evening literally scrubbing the kitchen floor.
And then I won! I actually won.
- No way! - Wow.
And I gave my acceptance speech to the mop instead of millions.
Can you imagine?
So, take it from aretha, when it's your time to shine,
You better show up and respect yourself.
What a story. And then gave her acceptance speech to a mop?
Yes! I wanna find out who this is more than ever now.
Yeah!

Nick: Wow. Looks like clock finally got her award.
- Definitely giving the clock all of her respect. - What was that?
- Put some respect on my clock. - Put some respect on it!
That performance was so funky. That ain't had a shower in months, that performance.
This is the group c finals and this is your best performance thus far.
- Whoa! Wow! - You have peaked at the right time.
- Nick: So amazing. - Brought the house down. Brought the house down.
Let's unwind and gather a clue about the clock.
And more importantly, who is she connected to up here on the panel?
Men in black, bring out the bath.
- ♪ rubber ducky, you're so fine ♪ - aah!
♪ and I'm lucky that you're mine ♪
Oh! Ken, how come you never run me a bath anymore?
'cause you shower more often now.
Men in black, what do you have for us?
- Jenny: Rubber ducky. - Robin: Ah, it's a--
- Ken: Nick. - Aww, it's a nick-a-ducky.
- Nick-a-ducky. - Yeah, you have my name on a duck.
Does it have a shirt inside it?
All right, well, clock, what can you tell us about this nick clue?
Well, nicholas...
- Nicholas! - Nicholas.
- This isn't the first time
- You've hosted me. - Ooh!
- Whoa! - Nick!
Well, I mean, clearly we know each other.
- Know each other, yes. - I mean.
- He knows everybody though. - You do know everybody though.
That does not narrow it down at all.
Well, let's give it up for men in black and this silly, ridiculous...
- Great job, men in black. - ...Get-up for the tub.
All right, who do you guys think this could possibly be?
You know, I was thinking who would have he have hosted on his talk show?
Like a tina knowles, a sheila e.,
But the clues keep bringing me back to debbie allen.
- Ken: Yes. - Very close with debbie allen.
- Debbie allen is like family. - There was the candy with the sweet on it.
- She was in "sweet charity" on broadway. - Ken: Yes.
And she pulled out some moves tonight. Clock was moving it tonight.
I know, clock had-- the clock was twerking I think.
- Robin: The hands were moving. - Whoo!
- "clock-twerk." - ( laughing )
What are you thinking, rita?
You know, everything in my body and in my bones
Is giving me disco diva, legend, icon.
The sweet candy heart clue makes me think of the song "sweet surrender."
For me, I was thinking this could potentially be denise williams?
- Oh, that's a great guess. - Robin: That is a good guess.
- Jenny: I love that guess. - Ken: One of the best pure voices.
- We're so lucky. - My money's on her guess.
- No, absolutely. - Oh, god. Get ready.
Ken. Hey, ken. Who do you think it is?
Well, last time, I ultimately decided on janet jackson.
- ( robin laughing ) - ( crowd jeering )
- Jenny: Boo! - Ken: Guys.
- Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo! - Guys, so--
- Rita: So you still think it's janet? - I-- you know what?
I was talking to my therapist, and she told me
- Not to make emotional decisions out of spite. - Right.
So I am confidently
Going back to diana ross.
And alarm clock-- working overtime.
This is something I can relate to.
- I work so hard on this show. - So hard!
- Yeah. - Both: He does.
Once a week, I put in almost three grueling hours,
And it's so tough.
I relate to you, diana. Diana ross.
- Both: Thank you, ken. - Thank you, guys.
- Thank you, ken. Go hit the showers. - Thank you.
- I think I need a shower. - One thing we do know,
Clock, you were incredible.
Such an electrifying performance.
- Yes! - Y'all keep it going for the queen of time.
Head on backstage.
Men in black, help out the clock.
Can you guys believe we're already at that point
Where they're gonna go to the quarterfinals from here?
- It happened so fast. - I know!
♪ who is that?
Welcome back. It's the group c finals
And our singers are making a splash on shower anthems night.
Now let's check in with our scaly friend lizard.
Maybe we can rinse off some of the mystery surrounding him.
♪ saying, "who are you?"
- ♪ yeah - aah, I love it!
Lizard: I can't believe I fought my way out of a second smackdown.
- The lizard! - Oh!
I go full emo.
I'm talking the anthem of troubled teens everywhere.
Before I could even drive, I was living two lives.
I got straight a's in school,
But after school I was running the streets with the bad crowd.
- Oh, my-- that's-- - robin: Wait!
That's dragon. Busta rhymes.
I was messing up so much,
I saw the inside of a jail cell more than once.
( shivers )
That last time, I took a long look in the mirror,
And realized the thug life just wasn't for me.
- Justin timberlake. - J.T.
And from that moment on,
I stared in a different direction
And cleaned up my act.
But I never forgot those dark days
And the wake up call I desperately needed.
Wow, those are some good clues, you guys.
- Rita's excited. - She's very excited.
If this is who I think it is, it's gonna be the best concert
- I've ever been to in my whole life. - Oh, for real.
For real!

We did not expect the lizard
To rock out tonight.
I mean, my mind was blown.
I did not expect you to come out with that kind of song.
But you still gave it your flow. It was amazing. It was still you.
- It was great. Yeah! - Lizard goes. The lizard goes hard.
( laughs )
- Thank you. - Ken: Absolutely.
And I love that evanescence song.
I love the fact that you made it your own.
You elevated it and you put your own stamp on it.
And that's why you are who you are.
You're a legend, you're a lizard, and you're so dope.
Thank you.
Such an outstanding performance, but you guys know what we need.
We need a clue. Let's see which one of us the lizard is connected to.
- Release the next clue. - Release.
- ♪ all you need is a bubble bath ♪ - whoa!
Oh! Loofas.
- ♪ oh, yeah - watch out, nick!

I think I see one. Hold up.
- I see a gold loofa. - Wow.
Well, this loofa says rita.
- ( gasps ) - ken: Rita!
Lizard: Rita, I'm honored to say,
We both have won the same out of this world award.
- Whoa. An award? - Really?
Out of this world takes me to moonman.
- Yeah. - Ah, mtv.
- Vmas. - Yeah, vmas.
- Yup. - Okay, let's get down to it.
So, one of the reasons I think why I came all this way
Was to honestly meet incredible talent.
So if I think this is who I think it is,
It's really kind of made my trip worthwhile
And I'm so grateful for this right now.
Here's what got me, right?
The dragon costume. I was born in the '90s.
And so one of my favorite songs
Was "unleash the dragon" by this artist.
And the stage clue of winning the same award, the vmas,
I'm sure you have won loads.
All right? This is sisqó.
Wow, really. You really think it's sisqó?
- Wow. - Definitely.
And if this is sisqó...
♪ I love you, even though I said that you don't need me ♪
- Ken: Wow! - That's rita ora!
I mean, you know who has moves like that and also won a vma?
- D'angelo. Right? - Ooh, that would be good, too.
And there was a thermometer below zero.
And he's got a song called "cold world."
And we've all seen that music video and he's got nothing on.
- Oh, like nick. - Like nick. Nick wore his outfit tonight.
That was my inspiration, a little d'angelo.
You know what? We had great guesses here. D'angelo, sisqó.
♪ ken jeong, je-jeong, jeong, jeong ♪
I get it. But here's the real.
- Michael bivins. - Rita: Oh, my god.
- Jenny: Wait, what? - Ken!
- The tallest member-- - look at him.
- ( crowd jeering ) - ken: Stop it!
- Let me finish. - Look what you did to the lizard.
Justin timberlake. Okay, new edition and n'sync.
- Yeah. - Both appeared on "a very boy band holiday."
And I might be wrong-- rita, did you or did you not,
You and michael also won the same hot dog eating contest
In budapest, am I right on that?
- Yes? - Nick: Sit your ass down, ken!
Okay. All right. Very good.
Well, as crazy as that guess was,
This performance was even more insane.
- Yes, it was. - It was incredible.
Y'all keep it going for the lizard.
Men in black, help him out.
- Ken: This may be my favorite group. - Group c.
All three of them, I mean, they're in different lanes,
- And they're all in peak form right now. - True that, true that.
♪ who is that?
Welcome back to the group c finals here on "the masked singer."
- Group c! - Group c!
We have our final solo singer of the night.
Before she hits us with her tile tunes,
Let's see what's new with poodle moth.
♪ so close you can almost taste it ♪
♪ release your inhibition
Poodle moth: Being here as this cuddle bug
Has really let me spread my wings.
We have fallen in love with you.
You should feel so proud and confident from here on out.
Thank you!
Music has always been my therapy,
And while some people sing pop hits in the shower for fun,
I use it as a time of total emotional release,
And I let the tears fall while I sing.
Like when my family sold our childhood home.
That house was filled with some pretty tumultuous memories
- Both: Number three. - Three seasons of a show or three albums?
- Okay. - Growing up was tough.
There was so much sadness within those walls.
- I dreamed of leaving it. - Poodle moth!
Yet when it came time to clear out the kitchen, repaint the hallway,
I couldn't help but feel like a part of me was gone.
But that was a house that built me
For better or worse.
Living there taught me resilience,
And now I try to lock the doors on the negative memories
And open windows to positivity.
And thanks to a few good shower cries,
I know I can push through to begin each day confident and free.
- Oh, my gosh. - Wow.
- Her story moves me so much. - Always.
I'm so inspired.

Poodle moth, you have I think one of the biggest hearts
- On this whole show. Yeah. - Oh!
It was adorable and also so moving.
I don't know, I guess for me, I'm just very excited
To see you every time you come on this stage, so thank you.
Oh! My heart! Thank you.
- I think that we all go back to when we were kids... - Yes!
...And a lot of us deal with many different types of tragedies.
- Poodle moth: Yeah. - And I think that this really brings us all back
To that time when we felt like anything was possible
And we had love and warmth in our home and in our hearts.
- That's right. Oh! - Robin: And that was a beautiful feeling.
- Beautiful. - Thank you.
- Rita: Yeah. - Nick: All right,
Well, let's get a clue and see which one of us
- Poodle moth is connected to. - Yeah!
This one's from the sudsy sanctuary.

- Robin! - Nick: It says robin.
- Jenny: What does that mean? - Well, I could use a bath.
Well, robin, working with your dad--
- Oh! - What?
I'm gonna cry-- is part of one of the biggest moments of my career...
- Wow, wow. - ...In my life.
- Jenny: Oh, my gosh. - Poodle moth: Yeah.
- Wow. That's beautiful. Thank you. - Who is that?
- And let's all-- applause for dad, for pops. - Yes! Yes!
Alan thicke, we love you. We miss you, dad.
- We love you. - Nick: A legend.
- I don't know if that helps me because he-- - ( laughing )
I need to hear what you guys think. Let me just think for a second.
'cause knowing that you knew my dad,
Let me get in that wheelhouse for a second.
You know, for me, I thought country singer originally.
And I was so convinced because of the storytelling quality that you have.
Now, looking at the clues, I've started to think maybe you're an actress.
I mean the connection to robin's dad makes me think of an actress
That starred in a movie, "alpha dog," with him.
- ( gasps ) - guys, is this sharon stone?
- Robin: Wow, wow. - Ken: Good guess.
You know, sharon stone actually was very good friends with my dad.
- She came to my dad's wedding also. - Well, there you go!
She was the honorary best woman.
- Really? Like that. - Ken, what you got, man?
Yeah, I-- I-- brooke shields.
- I believe they were on "scream queens" together. - "scream queens," yeah.
There was a palm tree in the clues, so you're thinking, like "blue lagoon."
Well, my dad used to brag, "you know, I went on a date with brooke shields."
- ( laughing ) - is that helping you?
No, I actually-- now that I'm starting--
'cause the grand ole opry and the country stuff,
I think this singer is one of the most famous accomplished singers in america,
And a lot of people don't know this,
That when she was trying to get a record deal in los angeles,
She actually came and stayed at my dad's house
For two weeks because she was canadian.
She went and got a record deal and went on to become shania twain.
- No way! - What?
- Wow. - That would be incredible.
And if I'm right, that's why she has that emotional feeling,
Because my dad really gave her a place to stay
For two weeks while she tried to get a record deal.
I think that's shania twain.
- I would love that. - That's amazing!
Well, no matter who you are,
Even though robin might be right,
You won our hearts poodle moth.
- Exactly. This is what you've done for us. - Aww, thank you.
- Poodle moth, beautiful performance. - Thank you. Thank you!
Men in black, help poodle moth out.
She's trying to fly up out of here.
Studio audience, panel, you know what time it is.
- Oh, my gosh, you guys. Are you ready to vote? - Aah!
Vote for your favorite singer of the night
The singer with the least amount of votes will be unmasked once and for all.
The other two will have one final opportunity to impress our panel
And move on to the quarterfinals.
The panel can use their save
And ring the ding dong keep it on bell,
But there's no guarantee that it'll be used tonight.
Get ready for the first unmasking of the night.
You don't want to miss it.
Jenny: You guys, do you think it's too early in the season to use the bell?
- I don't know. It's a big decision. - Big pressure.
- Lots of pressure. - Big decisions to make.
♪ who is that?
Nick: Three amazing singers have taken the stage tonight.
Two will head to the all or nothing battle royale.
The other must unmask right now.
Wow, this is gonna be tough!
The first singer unmasking tonight is...
Ken: Oh, gosh.
- Those were three very special performances. - Right?
- Nick: Lizard. - Oh!
No.
Clock and poodle moth, congratulations.
- Oh, man! - You're safe for now.
Head on back and prepare for the battle royale.
- Lizard! Oh, my god. - Oh, man!
All: Lizard, lizard, lizard!
Lizard, lizard, lizard, lizard!
The crowd clearly loves the lizard.
Lizard, we hate to see you go,
But we can't wait to see who you are.
- Yes! - Yes!
Panel, we need your final guesses.
- Ooh. - First of all, lizard, you'll be missed
- Because we really enjoyed you. - Rita: That's right.
So, I was torn between ray j. And d'angelo.
But I think I'm gonna lean in more towards ray j.
What really made me think this has to be ray j.
Is because there was a snoop-- well, it was a dog clue.
- And I'm taking it as a snoop dogg clue. - Right.
And guess who is cousins with snoop dogg?
- Both: Ray j. - Come on.
That's a great guess. No, ray j.'s great.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Ray j. Is a good guess.
But an even better guess for me,
The crab cupcake clue
Was for his new edition band mate bobby brown.
Thermometer for "cool it now."
- Lizard is michael bivins. - It's not.
That guess was poison.
Ken: Oh, hey, hey. Cool it now!
- Ah! Ken! - All right. All right.
- Okay, so rita and I have been on the same page. - Yeah.
But you're so passionate about it, you take it.
Okay, so the thermometer zero clue for dru hill's song "below zero."
He won a vma for the "thong song."
I mean, come on. Together robin?
- This is sisqó! - Sisqó!

Man, I mean, clearly you have rocked stages all over the world.
Why in the world did you do "the masked singer?"
Well, you know, my family loves the show.
And every time we saw a season,
Everybody would always say, "hey, this got to be sisqó."
Yeah. Yes, yes.
So, when I got an opportunity to do it,
I seized it and it's been really fun.
- Oh, we're so glad you came! - Nick: There it is.
And you know what? It was kind of of cool
Because you would come out here and have fun,
And then when they would put you in the smackdown,
- "I'ma let sisqó out." - yeah, right?
- You did a sisqó side kick... - Yes.
- ...And then go into your own riff. - Yeah, well, you know,
- The lizard had to embody the spirit of the dragon... - Yeah.
- ...When the chips were down. - That's right.
- Yes. - All right, is there anything that you want to say
To the panel, your family, friends,
Loved ones watching at home?
- Your biggest fan over here. - Yeah, yeah.
Um, hey, man, why don't I just sing the "thong song" a little bit?
- Yeah! - Oh, my god!
- No! - Rita, would you like that?
- Yes! - It's been a pleasure having you on the show.
He's already said it. He got y'all hyped.
- Give it up for the artist... - You're gonna make rita cry.

The drama and comedy mask is because she's done both.
