Nick: Space, the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise on "The Masked Singer."
It's a five-year mission to explore strange new worlds,
new clues, and a chair for Ken to finally sit down on.
( "Star Trek" theme continues )
To boldly go where no one has gone before.
Starring Ken Jeong as Spock,
Rita Ora as Seven of Nine,
Robin Thicke as Captain Christopher Pike,
Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg as Janice Rand,
and me as Nick Cannon.
Greetings! It's Star Trek night on "The Masked Singer."
Tonight, we are celebrating the 60th anniversary
of the franchise that made Captain Kirk
and the USS Enterprise a household name.
We are hitting warp speed
because tonight four contenders will compete,
but only two of them will live long and prosper
in the semifinals.
That's right, two singers will be unmasked tonight.
Oh, wow!
Nick: All right, let's do it!
The detectives can't seem to get to the bottom of Stingray.
They think he could be anyone from Jason Derulo to Donald Glover.
Let's see if a colossal clue can help them out.
Stingray: "Star Trek."
I mean, I've been trekking with the world's biggest stars
my whole life, including someone else in this competition.
- What? - I think it might be Cat Witch.
And I'm having a great time listening to all your guesses,
but don't "cling on" to this one, okay, Rita?
Because, spoiler alert...
( alarm blaring )
- I'm not Jason Derulo. - ( groaning )
- Oh, my God! - Maybe this will help.
Check out my colossal clue.
- Oh! - The glove!
- Michael's glove. - Oh, my God!
- The MJ glove. - The glove.
- Guys. - That's a big clue.
I mean, there's only one person on planet Earth
with a glove that is iconic. It's Michael Jackson.
Oh, I was thinking Clayton Kershaw with the glove, but, okay.
Nick: We're getting an incoming transmission
from the Delta Quadrant.
It says give it up for Stingray!

Stingray is definitely a star!
- Yeah! - That was great!
Whoo! Yeah!
( laughter )
- A star in the building! - Yeah!
We have entered Stingray's galaxy!
What an opening of a show, people!
- That's what I'm talking about! - Yeah!
- I loved it. Loved it. - Outstanding indeed!
All right now, Stingray, before the performance,
we saw that first colossal clue.
You have a connection to someone here
and Michael Jackson?
- Mm. - All right, so it is true.
- Wow. - Surrounded by a lot of stars.
Is that helping you guys out?
That bedazzled glove can only mean one thing.
Obviously, Michael Jackson.
And I believe Stingray is Chris Tucker.
- Okay. - Oh, my God.
( crowd jeering )
Let me fin-- hey, calm down!
You know what, honestly, honestly,
- vocal tone wise, you're not far off. - That's right!
- There is something-- - Maybe you're right.
( as Chris Tucker ) Robin understands the words coming out of my mouth!
( normal voice ) He does. Okay?
He was in the music video with Michael Jackson
"You Rock My World."
- Facts-- - And there was a basketball clue last time.
Chris Tucker was in "Air," the Michael Jordan movie.
- The birth of Air Jordans. - Those are true statements,
but you really believe this is Chris Tucker?
- I do! I do! - Okay, thanks, Ken.
- Listen-- - Sorry.
You know who is an amazing singer who played Michael Jackson on Broadway?
- Oh, right. - Jordan Fisher!
- Love that guess. - Oh!
- That's a very good guess. - That's right!
And also, there was a basketball clue,
- like you talked about before. - There was.
- And he was in the High School Musical series! - Yes, yes.
Could this be the amazing Jordan Fisher, everybody?
- That's a great guess. - Okay!
- It could be! - You know, I was looking over at Rita
during that performance, and we know a lot of the same people.
- Yeah. - And I think it clicked for both of us tonight.
The MJ glove kind of takes it over the top.
I mean, we had heard earlier clues that referenced
being a child of a very famous parent
- that hung out with Luther Vandross and-- - Stevie?
Yeah, yeah, and Stevie, yeah.
So the biggest of the biggest, the best of the best,
and you know him personally, too.
- You guys are friends. - If this is who I think it is,
and I see this person very frequently,
and they've just lied in my face this whole time,
now it makes sense why he hasn't answered my phone calls.
( laughter )
If I'm not mistaken, I also think Michael Jackson
is his godfather, if I'm correct.
So this, I think, can only be...
- Should we all say it together? - I'll agree with you, yes.
- One, two, three. - Evan Ross.
- Son of Diana Ross. - Yes!
That is a friend, that is a family member,
and somebody I have worked with, so we'll see.
Yeah!
Did Stingray secure a place for himself in the semifinal?
Or is resistance futile
with Cat Witch lurking in the shadows?
- It's Cat Witch time! - Qapla'!
Don't move. That's next.
Did you guys watch "Star Trek" growing up?
I did. Mr. Spock was like my favorite character of all time and--
Yeah, I also though had a little crush on Captain Kirk, like every girl watching.
Robin: I had a crush on his hair.
♪ Who is that? ♪
( "Star Trek" theme playing )
( theme concludes )
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer"
where we are celebrating "Star Trek,"
a series that sent William Shatner to space
long before Jeff Bezos did.
When it comes to Cat Witch, the detectives' guesses
have been intriguing yet statistically improbable.
So right now, she's gonna give them clues so obvious,
you might as well beam her identity into these screens behind me.
Cat Witch: This is a totally new frontier for me.
But guess what, panel? I've been playing more games with you than you know.
Especially you, Robin Thicke.
- Because, spoiler alert... - ( alarm blaring )
I come from a very talented family.
One of them has worked closely with you.
- What? - What?
Engage the colossal clue.
Oh, my God! Look it! It's you guys!
Oh, wow! JoJo and Nick Lachey.
I've written for both JoJo and Nick Lachey,
- but for 98 Degrees. - Right?
All right, well, she's connected
to Black Swan, Piglet, and Robin.
- Wow. - And now she's about to connect
with the stage.
Put your hands together for Cat Witch!

- Wow! Crushed it! - That was crazy!
Nick: So many stars on this starship.
- She crushed that. - That was awesome.
Jenny, talk to Cat Witch.
You know, Cat Witch, you do not require any magic
'cause you are full of talent.
I have no doubt that you are a huge star under that mask.
And the audience loves you, and we love you.
Indeed, indeed. All right now, Cat Witch,
we have to talk about that colossal clue.
A cat, a pig, and a swan? Sounds like a petting zoo to me.
What can you tell us?
Well, Robin's not the only one with ties to my talented family.
JoJo and Nick Lachey have ties, too!
- All right. - Whoa!
Well, when I think of people that I've worked with
who have other famous family members or something like that,
one name that comes to mind is Britney Spears
and possibly Jamie Lynn Spears.
- That's a good guess. - Who's very talented. You know?
- So I'm going to go with Jamie Lynn Spears. - That's actually not bad.
- Maybe that's the connection. - Okay, guys,
this might be crazy, but here we are.
Do you remember when we saw Voltage and the clue was, like, right in front of us?
- Yes. - This could be that moment
because could this be
any one of the Katseye girls?
( crowd cheering )
- That ignited a catnip frenzy. - Right?
I don't know which one, so throw all of their faces up.
- All right. Okay. - Thank you.
- What are you thinking there, Ken? - Well, it's about logic.
( Robin laughs )
You have to calm down, live long, prosper,
and use your mind grapes.
When you're talking about JoJo, talking about Nick Lachey,
season five, worked with Robin.
Now what person could combine all those clues
into one living being?
Oh, I don't know, Vanessa Lachey.
Wife of Nick Lachey,
who worked with Robin and JoJo season five.
Can she move like that?
Our kids go to the same school, and I saw her at a PTA meeting,
and she danced exactly like that.
I think those ears are going to your head.
All right, great guesses and a great performance.
Cat Witch, go take a load off.
She's a hard one to figure out.
Give it up for our Klingons In Black.
Can I give a shout out to those awesome
- green fella aliens? - Yes!
- What are they called? - Ken: Yes.
Oh, my goodness!
You know what? You should have dressed up today, Ken.
Live long and prosper!
Hey, guys. It's Kylie Cantrall, your insider here.
Want to know what Piglet and Black Swan were all about from my colossal clue?
You guys want to get in this? Thanks, guys.
My dad happens to be a songwriter and has written songs
for a couple "Masked Singer" alumni,
like JoJo, Nick Lachey, and even Robin.
- Pretty cool, huh? - ( meows )
( humming "Star Trek" theme )
( tricorder chirping )
Enterprise, Klingons have taken over the hair and makeup unit.
They look exactly like Robin Thicke.
Preparing blow-dry to stun.
What up, playboys? I'm a famous comedian.
You probably know who I am.
Have you seen "The Hangover"?
"Hangover 2"? "Hangover 3"?
You know what? I forgot. I'm fluent in Klingon.
( sputtering ) Hab SoSlI' Quch!
Both: Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam.
( tricorder chirping )
I think I just declared war.
Ken, get your butt back to the panel desk.
- We got a show to do! - Beam me up.
( no audible dialogue )
Oh, I forgot. Budget cuts. Coming, Daddy!
( "Star Trek" theme playing )
- Coming, Daddy! Coming! - Ken!
- Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! - What happened?
- Where have you been? - This is where I left my comms badge.
- Oh, it was scary. - Are you okay?
Oh, yeah. I saw some scary-looking Klingons.
- They looked exactly like you. - Oh.
- Aww. - Oh, my gosh!
As your captain, I, uh--
- I give you permission-- - Stop saying "As your captain."
- Sorry. - Well, as your captain, can I go now?
- Yes, you can. - Fine.
- I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry. - Sorry.
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer."
We're picking up strong vocal reading and a huge clue
from 14 Karat Carrot on the planet of Colossal.
- ( tricorder chirping) - Let's get it.
I mean, my whole life
has been about living long and prospering.
Just look at my career.
And you've been guessing some Motown legends?
- I'm talking to you, Jenny. - What?
Jermaine Jackson? I'm flattered.
- But, spoiler alert... - ( alarm blaring )
I'm about to take everything off the table, Jenny.
- Whoa! - Now, point your ears this way
and check out my colossal clue.
Johnny Gill.
This guy's been like a brother to me,
and we've riffed together for years.
While singing is my day job, it is not his.
- What? - What? Did that rub you the wrong way?
- What? - Oh, my God, Johnny!
- Aww, I love you, Johnny! - Johnny Gill!
- I love Johnny. - Wait, wait. Did he just say...
- Not a singer. He's not a singer. - ...he's not a singer?
Singing might not be his regular day job, but it is today.
Give it up for 14 Karat Carrot!
Commander Carrot, this is Captain Justice.
Today's mission should be a smooth one.
- Whoa! - Patrol galaxy,
but be on the lookout for unwanted intruders.
( alarm blaring )

- Wow! - Whoa.
Okay, 14 Karat Carrot! Hit that falsetto!
That is ridonk-ulous.
- He is awesome. - I love him.
A shining star, indeed.
- Robin? - Oh, man, you know,
when you pick a record like that,
that is a classic jammy jam that gets everybody
up out of their seats and dancing,
and then you're hitting those high notes,
those falsettos, that's not easy.
I thought-- I mean, I thought that was your best performance.
- Yeah. - Yeah, I agree. Well said.
Now Johnny Gill doesn't hang out with just anybody.
Especially Ken. Yeah.
Yeah, Johnny and I have been friends for years,
as well as the group New Edition.
- What? - But every time I ask if I can join the group,
they always tell me to "Stay in your own court!"
- Stay in your court? - Interesting. Interesting.
I have a question, Mr. Carrot. What is on your fanny pack?
I just want to make sure I'm not missing a clue.
Oh!
- It looks like scales of justice. - Oh, scales!
- Oh. - Oh.
So he's a judge. Played a judge on TV or a judge like us.
Or played a judge on TV.
Okay, well, that's made me think.
You know, I think it might be
somebody that we're more familiar with,
like a host of "Masked Dancer."
He was a judge guest, I think, on the show.
I think this might be Craig Robinson.
- That's a great guess. - Yeah, yeah.
Craig is a good friend of mine.
Yeah, so what do you think?
Nick: And an amazing musician, as well.
But you talk about a host, you talk about longest running.
There's all these clues.
This could possibly be, and I'm using logic now.
Do not boo me. Right? Right?
Live long and prosper, Steve Harvey!
- Oh, my God! - 'Cause there's a scales of justice,
and that's for his show, "Judge Steve Harvey."
- I do love Steve Harvey. - Ta-dow!
- That's not a bad guess for Ken Jeong. - That's a great guess!
You said one of the great guesses of all time, huh?
- I think I know who it is. - Okay, Robin. Go, go.
I heard it in the cadence. I'm one of his biggest fans.
And I didn't hear it before, and I didn't get it before.
But I just heard it when he was speaking.
I've seen almost every single one of his stand-ups.
- I think this is Katt Williams. - No!
- What? - You are kidding.
- I don't think it's Katt Williams. - ( overlapping shouting )
- Why do you think-- - ( chittering )
- Oh, we got tribbles! Oh! - Katt Williams!
Oh, we got tribbles! I'll save you, Robin!
- Katt Williams? - I think Nick knows and doesn't want to tell us.
I'm just saying, we're in a different dimension because right now--
Tell us right now, Nick.
Right now, Ken Jeong has the best guess.
- No! My guess is pretty good. - All right, all right.
Well, 14 Karat Carrot, you're doing an amazing job and an amazing performance.
Men in Black, help him out.
We are this close to the semifinal, so...
Two are going home.
But we have, I think, Galaxy Girl coming up.
We live in a galaxy, don't we, Captain?
- Yes, we do. - Wow.
Ken: You have a way with words.
Live long and prosper!
( "Star Trek" theme playing )
Whoa. That's my jam.
Welcome back to "The Masked Singer,"
where we are celebrating the 60th anniversary of "Star Trek,"
the legendary franchise that inspires future generations to be bold,
which Ken already does every time he guesses.
The detectives think this next singer could be Emma Stone or Hilary Duff.
This next colossal clue might help narrow that down a bit. Check it out.
I've boldly gone where no one has gone before.
And while your guesses have been out of this world,
Ken, there are some major black holes in your constellation map.
- What? - So listen up,
- because, spoiler alert... - ( alarm blaring )
I am not Gwen Stefani.
- Oh! - Oh, Ken!
Yeah, I could have told you that, Ken.
Now gaze on this colossal clue.
- Showgirls. - Vegas.
- Las Vegas showgirls. - Vegas showgirls.
- Someone with a residency. - Okay. Yes, yes.
Here to show us another life of a showgirl,
give it up for Galaxy Girl!

- Y'all keep it going for Galaxy. - Whoo!
Galaxy Girl doing her thing.
The energy is next level. Ken, talk to Galaxy Girl.
Normally, I joke.
Normally, I have fun.
Normally, I zing.
But tonight, this was the best performance of the evening.
- Yeah! - And dare I say,
- I really think you're the frontrunner. - Yes!
- Jenny is right. - I am.
Incredible.
Galaxy Girl, earlier, we learned that clearly
you have a connection to showgirls.
What can you tell us about this clue?
Well, my husband may love his slot machines,
but when I go to Vegas, I'm not there to gamble.
I'm there to work.
Yeah!
- There to work. - She's funny.
All right, is that helping you guys out at all?
You picking up on any clues?
- As captain of this ship-- - Oh, Robin. Kick it off.
- As captain of the ship. - Stop saying you're the captain!
- Come on! - Well, the showgirls thing doesn't really help.
But she's a very talented actress and singer.
And there was jingle bells clues earlier on,
and she was-- she played the little girl in "The Grinch"
- many years ago. - Yes.
- And her name is Taylor Momsen. - That's a great guess.
- Great guess. - So I'm going to guess Taylor Momsen.
You know, this Vegas thing has really thrown me
because I keep feeling like an Avril Lavigne type energy, right?
But, like, so there was a surfboard clue before,
and Avril's won Teen Choice Awards.
Jingle Bell Ball, she's performed at that.
All I know is that this is a rock and roll star,
and I'm just going to hit you with an Avril Lavigne right now,
- 'cause it does feel like that. - That's great.
Now I've mentioned this artist before.
There was a dream cloud clue previously,
and she has a song called
"This Is What Dreams Are Made Of."
- Yes. - She also had a concert
at the Palms in Las Vegas.
- Could this be Hilary Duff? - My queen!
( no audible dialogue )
I'm not trying to brag, but I have acted with Hilary Duff.
- Really? - You just bragged.
This is not Hilary Duff, okay?
It's not logical. It's not logical.
But what was logical,
- Galaxy Girl gave an amazing performance. - Yes!
- Great job, Galaxy Girl.
We will beam you and the rest of the masks back out in a minute.
( "Star Trek" theme playing )
All right, audience, we are at the final frontier.
Your mission, vote now for your favorite singer of the evening.
The bottom two will both be unmasked.
Which stars will go to the semifinals?
The results after this transmission.
- Serious talk now? - Yeah, serious talk.
The two people are being unmasked.
- Oh, yeah. - It's practically impossible at this point.
It's gonna be really hard.
Ken: Live long and prosper!
Welcome back to Star Trek Night on "The Masked Singer."
Set phasers to results.
- Whoo! - Okay, the first singer
unmasking tonight is...
Ooh.
- 14 Karat Carrot. - Oh, my God!
- What? - The rest of you are safe for now.
Head back to the ship's shuttle bay and await your next mission.
- Stingray: Baby, we made it. - Galaxy: We did it!
- Cat Witch: I made it through! Good job! - Stingray: We made it.
Y'all keep it going for 14 Karat Carrot.
- Yeah! - Yes!
Before we get to our final guesses from our detectives,
we get to see the biggest clue to your identity.
- ( gasps ) - It's time for the Crack the Case Clue Case.
Klingons, retrieve the case!
Whoa.
( music playing )
Reveal what's inside.
( music continues )
- Oh! - It's a gavel!
- It's a gavel. - ( crowd murmuring )
It's ironic being on this side of a panel of judges,
when I'm usually the one doing the judging.
- Whoa. - All right, detectives,
based off of that clue,
do you want to change your guesses or close your case?
I just think that solidifies my guess because he is a judge on the other side.
He was a guest judge on this show.
Um, yeah, so that's what I'm wanna do.
- I'm wanna go with Craig Robinson. - Great.
- Who do you think, Ken? - You know, initially, I thought it was Morgan Freeman.
( all groaning )
Okay, you shouldn't have led with that, Ken.
But the gavel makes it clear. This is Steve Harvey.
- ( crowd cheering ) - Yes, everything fits.
He's closing his case on that one.
You guys might think it's a real judge,
but we're kind of real judges here.
- Yes! - Who is the longest-running "American Idol" judge?
- Randy Jackson! - Yeah, that's a good-- that's great.
Wow, she hit us with a new name at the last!
I don't know if he has a star on the Walk of Fame,
- but he is a judge. - I think he does.
- It would make sense. - That would be incredible.
They're feeling your guess, Jenny. Robin?
Well, I think the reason that I haven't been able to pinpoint the voice
is 'cause I've never heard him sing before.
Because the judge clues and the scales of justice,
the only male judge that I really know on television is Judge Mathis.
- So I'm gonna go with Judge Mathis. - Whoa!
- That's a good guess. - That is a much better guess than Katt Williams.
- Why didn't I guess that? - It could be Judge Mathis.
- I love that. - Nick: Okay, it's time to see
if any of our detectives were right about 14 Karat Carrot.
Audience, you know the drill. Say it with me. Take it off!
( chanting ) Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!
- Ken! - I don't know!
- Look at the Klingons! - I don't know!
- ♪ Who ♪ - Who is it?

Emmy award-winning

- Dude! Dude! - Ken! Oh, my God!
- Oh, my God! - Well done, my brother.
Legend! Legend!
- Legend! Legend! - Whoo!
Legend! Legend! Legend!
It took them so long,
I mean, but Robin finally got it right.
In the final stretch!
It was the justice and then finally the gavel.
- I was just like, this has to be a judge. - Judge Mathis!
- The judge! The only judge! - Yes!
- The legendary judge. - Yes!
- You were holding your own on this thing! - Absolutely.
- Yes! - Right?
In Detroit, I used to sit outside or sing outside of Motown,
me and my buddies, hoping that we'd be-- get discovered.
So Barry and Smokey, who are my friends, you should have signed me then.
- That's right. - Yes! You're right.
And here I am performing on stage in front of millions of viewers
and you beautiful folks here.
I've achieved my dream!
Awesome! Oh, my God.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, keep it going.
- Give it up one more time... - Yes!

Whoa! Oh, he dropped the mic.
- ( laughing ) - Look at that!
( crowd chanting ) Carrot! Carrot! Carrot!
He dropped the gavel and the mic!
Don't go anywhere! We still have one more unmasking to go,
following this message from Earth.
Welcome back to Star Trek Night on "The Masked Singer."
- Whoo! - Crew, steady yourselves.
The second singer unmasking tonight is...
- Oh, double elimination. - I know, it's crazy!
- I can't believe-- a double! - Double.
- It's not fair. - ( groaning )
- We love all of you. - You guys were all amazing.
Amazing.
- Stingray. - ( groaning )
- Oh! - Oh, my God.
That means, Cat Witch and Galaxy Girl,
- you are safe and can move... - No!
- ...warp speed into the semifinals. - Oh, my God!
- Girl, we made it! - Nick: Congratulations.
- No! - I think Stingray is shocked.
- Stingray! Stingray! - Nick: And keep it going for Stingray.
- Stingray! - Look it.
Are you churning butter?
Stingray, sadly, this is your final frontier.
- Oh. - But before we get to the final guesses,
- we are getting a clue transmission. - Yes!
Klingons, retrieve the Crack the Case Clue Case.
- ( music playing ) - Klingons, bring it.
- Robin: ♪ Klingons ♪ - Ken: Wow.
- ♪ Bring it ♪ - Come on, give us a good one.
Give us a good one.
( music continues )
Reveal what's inside.

- "I hereby give my child, Stingray, my endless love." - Okay. My endless love!
- Signed "Mother Supreme." - Mother Supreme.
- We've got this! - Okay.
- Yeah. - Wow.
Stingray, if it's not clear enough already...
- Right? - ...what can you tell us about this clue?
Well, I had a guiding light early on in my life.
- Aww. - And now my wife is my sun
and my shining moon in my life.
- All: Aww. - I love you all very much. Thank you for having me.
Such a touching and emotional
heartfelt moment.
Detectives, based on that clue,
do you want to change your guess or close your case?
- I think we're going to close the case together. - We'll stand up.
- You guys ready? We all are in unison here. - Yes.
- Okay, so Mother Supreme, that's Diana Ross.
"Endless Love," one of her biggest hits of all time.
- This is her son. - All: One, two, three.
Evan Ross!
All right, it's time to see
if our detectives were right about Stingray.
Audience, you know the drill. Say it with me.

- Yes! - Oh, my God!
- Yeah! Yeah! - Oh, my God!
- Yes! - Actor, musician,
- and my brother, Evan Ross! - Evan!
Whoo!
Yeah, Evan!
From the moment he stepped on this stage,
only one man has this energy, so I knew who it was.
It was hard for me to keep this secret.
But, panel, you guys finally got it.
- Yes! - Amazing.
That's my boy right there.
Rita, I think you was picking up on it as well.
I was. That's my family.
I'm so happy you finally made it on the show!
I've been wanting you on this show for so long.
- Me, too. - And it's funny because, like, these guys,
- between Robin and Rita... - Yeah.
...I've known them very long.
I was like, they're gonna know it's me too fast.
This literally is like family to me.
And I've just watched this man blossom into such an incredible
artist, actor, and musician.
You got music in your blood.
Was it harder or easier performing on the stage
knowing that, you know, you got so much natural swag,
but you had to be the Stingray tonight?
I think it's actually been a really nice experience for me
because I didn't have to deal with the idea of any preconception of anything.
So it's been very fun.
Also you get a mask on your face,
you all of a sudden think you're something else.
I was, like, I can't see anything.
I couldn't see anything the entire time.
So every-- all I could do was I was like,
just get me where I could at least do this.
'Cause I don't know where I'm at.
The Stingray sway, baby. That's...
But there were so many clues about your legendary mother.
What do you think she'll say when she's watching at home?
I mean, I think she'll enjoy it.
And I-- you know, it's like-- you know,
she's been trying to make me sing for a long time, so the fact that
- I'm doing it is-- - We all have been trying to make you sing
- because you're such an incredible artist. - I know.
So mom's dreams are coming true tonight, too, for you.
Whoo!
Well, y'all keep it going for Stingray.
- Whoo! - Whoo!
- Yes! - And his hips.
Tonight's "Star Trek" show was so good,
it even made Spock raise an eyebrow.
- Let's go! - Next week,
it's the semifinals!
- I love you so much! - Ladies and gentlemen.
- You killed it. You killed it. - Give it up one more time...
- Brother, I'm a huge fan, - ...for the artist formerly known as Stingray!
Evan Ross!
