12
00:00:26,235 --> 00:00:29,111
It's like the world series
of celebrities
13
00:00:29,155 --> 00:00:33,949
singing while sweating profusely
under feathers and fur.
14
00:00:33,993 --> 00:00:35,367
Will your favorites
make the cut?
15
00:00:35,411 --> 00:00:38,120

00:00:38,164 --> 00:00:40,247

the greatest show, indeed.

Now, let's go
from a colorful showman

This is, like, you know,
a new challenge,

00:05:33,292 --> 00:05:37,294
you know, to continue to just
broaden my range as a performer,
104
00:05:37,338 --> 00:05:40,881
- and I had so much fun.
- Yeah!
105
00:05:40,924 --> 00:05:44,092
Ahem.
106
00:05:44,127 --> 00:05:46,928
Hey, I didn't
see you there.
107
00:05:46,972 --> 00:05:49,973
Oh, it's quite all right.
I'm easy to miss.
108
00:05:50,017 --> 00:05:52,851
I'm only three inches tall.
109
00:05:52,895 --> 00:05:54,353
Can I ask who you are?
110
00:05:54,396 --> 00:05:57,606
I mean, please don't tell me
you're another wild card act.
111
00:05:57,649 --> 00:05:59,358
Nope, I'm miss masky.
112
00:05:59,401 --> 00:06:01,193
I'm here to help out
the viewers at home
113
00:06:01,236 --> 00:06:03,153
by giving them extra clues.
114
00:06:03,197 --> 00:06:06,239
Oh, wow. Well, are you sure
you're here to help?
115
00:06:06,283 --> 00:06:07,949
'cause last year,
we had a chicken
116
00:06:07,951 --> 00:06:09,284
who said they were here to help.
117
00:06:09,328 --> 00:06:11,787
Turned out to just be
really annoying to everyone,
118
00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:13,789
and then turned out
to be donnie walberg.
119
00:06:13,832 --> 00:06:15,040
Ha! I'm serious!
120
00:06:15,084 --> 00:06:18,251
I'm just your friendly
neighborhood clue-holic,
121
00:06:18,295 --> 00:06:22,339
and not related
to jenny mccarthy in any way.
122
00:06:22,383 --> 00:06:25,258
Oh, well, nice
to meet you, miss masky.
123
00:06:25,302 --> 00:06:29,429
Pleasure's all mine, handsome.
Oops. I mean, mr. Cannon.
124
00:06:29,473 --> 00:06:32,057
Nah, handsome is fine.
Please call me that.
125
00:06:32,101 --> 00:06:34,601
Or nick.
But definitely not mr. Cannon.
126
00:06:34,645 --> 00:06:37,354
Handsome nick if you want.
You know what? I gotta go.
127
00:06:37,398 --> 00:06:39,022
I'll check you later,
miss masky.

Bye, nick.
129
00:06:42,653 --> 00:06:46,196
Now, before we continue
the all-time countdown,
130
00:06:46,198 --> 00:06:48,907
let's reveal brand-new clues
and unseen footage
131
00:06:48,951 --> 00:06:50,951
from some of the masks
still battling
132
00:06:50,953 --> 00:06:54,496
to go head-to-head
in our prize fight finale.
133
00:06:55,958 --> 00:06:59,126
Nick:
Let's start with caterpillar.
134
00:06:59,169 --> 00:07:02,421
I've only been here
for one show, but, oh, boy.
135
00:07:02,464 --> 00:07:05,257
"if I were a boy" was a pretty
great first performance.
136
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:10,345
♪ I would listen to her
137
00:07:10,389 --> 00:07:15,851
♪ 'cause I know how it felt
138
00:07:15,894 --> 00:07:17,853
I'm getting
the boy band vibes again.
139
00:07:17,896 --> 00:07:21,314
I think I put a bug in the
panel's ear about who I may be.
140
00:07:21,358 --> 00:07:25,318
- ( whispering )
- so, for my next song,
141
00:07:25,362 --> 00:07:28,738
what if I were a boy bander
like they think I am?
142
00:07:28,782 --> 00:07:34,244
So I'm gonna sing a fast-paced
group number... Solo.
143
00:07:37,833 --> 00:07:40,584
There's a reason why I said no
to "dancing with the stars."
144
00:07:40,627 --> 00:07:42,085
( laughter )
145
00:07:42,129 --> 00:07:44,421
when I saw my costume,
my first thought was,
146
00:07:44,465 --> 00:07:47,549
"um, wait, I have to
dance in this?"
147
00:07:47,593 --> 00:07:51,136
but I consider being one
of the craziest costumes ever
148
00:07:51,180 --> 00:07:53,847
on "the masked singer"
a bootylicious blessing.
149
00:07:53,891 --> 00:07:57,058
I've been studying my lyrics
and practicing choreography,
150
00:07:57,102 --> 00:07:58,685
even on my breaks.
151
00:07:58,729 --> 00:08:02,105
I'll do anything to keep
all my arms and my legs
152
00:08:02,149 --> 00:08:04,816
in sync for this next
performance.
153
00:08:04,860 --> 00:08:09,488
And my big old booty,
of course.
154
00:08:09,531 --> 00:08:11,865
Hi, friends.
155
00:08:11,909 --> 00:08:14,326
Inch your way closer

00:08:14,369 --> 00:08:17,621

music machine.
157
00:08:17,664 --> 00:08:19,206
Boom.
158
00:08:19,249 --> 00:08:25,045
Nick: And now let's get
a hot take from pepper.
159
00:08:25,088 --> 00:08:27,714
Shaking up the competition
as a wild card,
160
00:08:27,758 --> 00:08:31,218
I was worried I was gonna
start a little in the hole.
161
00:08:31,261 --> 00:08:35,972
But after two songs,
I am having a fireball.
162
00:08:36,016 --> 00:08:41,102
And I'm having so much fun
figuring out how to bring
my pepper mask to life.
163
00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:44,397
Oh, yes. It's right there.
164

Bull and I used to flirt.
172
00:09:11,468 --> 00:09:14,052
Then I heard him singing in his
dressing room and I was like,

00:09:14,096 --> 00:09:17,889
"oh, no! That's my opponent?"
174
00:09:17,891 --> 00:09:22,477
so for my next performance,
I'm using that competitive fire
175
00:09:22,521 --> 00:09:26,231
and pouring it into an
emotional and stylish ballad.
176
00:09:26,275 --> 00:09:29,109
I may look like
I'm playing nice,
177
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:31,236
but I'm here to take
the bull by the...
178
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,655
- ( lowing )
- ...Nose.
179
00:09:33,699 --> 00:09:35,907
( giggles )
180
00:09:35,951 --> 00:09:38,910
miss masky here
to spill the tea
181
00:09:38,954 --> 00:09:42,038
with this giant clue
to pepper's identity.
182
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,790
Can you figure it out?
183
00:09:43,834 --> 00:09:45,333
Whoo! Let's go.
184
00:09:45,335 --> 00:09:48,336
Nick: Coming up, exclusive
behind the scenes footage
185
00:09:48,380 --> 00:09:51,381
you won't see anywhere else.
186
00:09:51,425 --> 00:09:55,635
And the all-time
countdown continues with
our greatest hits.
187
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,179
Who will be number one?
188
00:10:04,438 --> 00:10:06,021
Oh, my goodness!
189
00:10:06,106 --> 00:10:07,814
This weighs about 15 pounds.
190
00:10:07,858 --> 00:10:10,150
How you like this, baby?
191
00:10:14,156 --> 00:10:15,989
Oh, she got bounce.
192
00:10:16,033 --> 00:10:18,700
My mom is the biggest
fan of the show.
193
00:10:18,744 --> 00:10:21,620
Mama, this is the surprise.
194
00:10:21,663 --> 00:10:25,957
I'm on "the masked singer."
195
00:10:26,001 --> 00:10:28,084
this is my shining moment.
196
00:10:28,128 --> 00:10:31,004
I can't wait to get up there
on that stage.
197
00:10:31,006 --> 00:10:32,964
Let's go. Let's go!
198
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:35,550
- Whoo!
- Wow!
199
00:10:35,552 --> 00:10:38,219
- Yeah!
- Whoo!
200
00:10:38,263 --> 00:10:41,431
I thought I was gonna faint
when I finished.
201
00:10:41,475 --> 00:10:44,392
It was so hot.
But I had so much fun.
202
00:10:44,436 --> 00:10:47,520
Whoo! We gotta do that
some more, you guys.
203
00:10:47,564 --> 00:10:51,107
Bring dwayne back.
I mean, bring octopus back.
204
00:10:51,193 --> 00:10:52,442
Bring octopus back.
205
00:10:52,486 --> 00:10:56,655
The first singer to get
eliminated is octopus.
206
00:10:56,698 --> 00:11:00,200
- ( crowd groans )
- aw, man!
207
00:11:00,243 --> 00:11:03,536
I'm gonna go back home,
hug my mama and my babies,
208
00:11:03,580 --> 00:11:05,622
and sing some more songs.
209
00:11:05,666 --> 00:11:06,998
Man, I love you so much.
210
00:11:07,042 --> 00:11:09,542
I'm not gonna give you a kiss,
but thank you.
211
00:11:09,544 --> 00:11:11,544
( crew clapping )
212
00:11:13,423 --> 00:11:17,425
welcome back to
"the masked singer
all-time countdown."
213
00:11:17,469 --> 00:11:21,930
91 undercover stars
have sung on this stage.
214
00:11:21,932 --> 00:11:24,891
They've had over
300 grammy nominations,
215
00:11:24,935 --> 00:11:26,935
100 emmy nominations,
216
00:11:26,937 --> 00:11:29,354
and nearly
a billion records sold.
217
00:11:29,398 --> 00:11:31,022
That's crazy.
218
00:11:31,066 --> 00:11:33,108

for the number eight
performance of all time.
223
00:11:42,077 --> 00:11:46,079

nick:
That, ladies and gentlemen,
was perfection!
244
00:13:15,045 --> 00:13:18,046
So, who was seahorse?
245
00:13:18,089 --> 00:13:23,092
( all chanting )
take it off! Take it off!
246
00:13:23,136 --> 00:13:25,053
Tori kelly!
247
00:13:25,096 --> 00:13:29,098
One of the greatest voices
of this generation!
248
00:13:29,142 --> 00:13:30,850
I thought it'd just be fun
to come out here
249
00:13:30,936 --> 00:13:32,852
and show a whole 'nother
side of myself,
250
00:13:32,896 --> 00:13:34,354
be a little more sassy.
251
00:13:34,397 --> 00:13:35,563
Yes.
252
00:13:37,359 --> 00:13:40,360
"my heart will go on" was such
a beautiful performance.
253
00:13:40,403 --> 00:13:43,613
Now will queen of hearts
go on to our season finale?
254
00:13:45,242 --> 00:13:47,951
Let's hear from
the queen supreme herself,
255
00:13:47,994 --> 00:13:50,537
plus new clues.
256
00:13:50,580 --> 00:13:52,413
Bonjour, my new friends.
257
00:13:52,457 --> 00:13:54,916
I'm sure when I go onstage,
it looks easy.
258
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,167
But it's a good thing
I'm a queen
259
00:13:56,545 --> 00:13:59,838
because it takes a kingdom
of people to get me anywhere.
260
00:13:59,881 --> 00:14:01,256
( back up beeping )
261
00:14:01,299 --> 00:14:03,424
they should really make me
a wide load sign.
262
00:14:03,468 --> 00:14:04,676
( giggles )
263
00:14:04,719 --> 00:14:05,635
did you know,
most of the time,
264
00:14:05,929 --> 00:14:08,346
I don't even get dressed
in my dressing room?
265
00:14:08,348 --> 00:14:11,599
My costume just barely fits
through backstage.
266
00:14:11,643 --> 00:14:15,979
I have to walk up to this
little corner right offstage
where no one can see me.
267
00:14:16,014 --> 00:14:18,147
But, heck, the less time
I can have a heavy heart
268
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:20,400
weighing down on me
is a good thing.
269
00:14:20,443 --> 00:14:24,028
And after the reaction
to my performance last week,
270
00:14:24,072 --> 00:14:25,238
I don't think my head's
in the clouds.
271
00:14:25,282 --> 00:14:27,031
I could win this thing.
272
00:14:27,075 --> 00:14:33,162
( singing in french )
273
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:39,419
- one of the best vocal
performances in six seasons.
- Yes.
274
00:14:41,882 --> 00:14:44,883
I think my next performance
is my most powerful yet.
275
00:14:44,926 --> 00:14:46,926
I hope you tune in to watch,
276
00:14:46,928 --> 00:14:49,262
because I'm gonna channel
my inner strength,
277
00:14:49,306 --> 00:14:51,431
go with the flow,
278
00:14:51,474 --> 00:14:52,974
and get this heart
279
00:14:52,976 --> 00:14:54,934
beating the competition.
280
00:14:54,936 --> 00:14:55,935
( giggles )
281
00:14:55,937 --> 00:14:58,146
hey, friends.
282
00:14:58,189 --> 00:15:00,189
Queen of hearts lent this
to me last week
283
00:15:00,233 --> 00:15:02,025
when I was making iced tea,
284
00:15:02,068 --> 00:15:04,527
and it's a big clue
to who she is.
285
00:15:04,529 --> 00:15:07,113
Can you break it down?
286
00:15:07,157 --> 00:15:09,991
Nick: You're a lucky duck,
because it's time
287
00:15:10,035 --> 00:15:13,912
to check in with mallard.
288
00:15:13,955 --> 00:15:16,205
I don't think I could've
prepared myself
289
00:15:16,249 --> 00:15:18,875
for how wild busting out
of saloon doors
290
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:22,253
and acting like a duck on
national television would be.
291
00:15:22,297 --> 00:15:24,422
♪ well, I walk into a room
292
00:15:24,466 --> 00:15:26,758
♪ passing out hundred
dollar bills ♪
293
00:15:26,801 --> 00:15:28,384
♪ and it kills
and it thrills ♪
294
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:31,679
even after two songs,
I'm still trying to focus
on singing
295
00:15:31,723 --> 00:15:34,140
with all the crazy stuff
going on around me,
296
00:15:34,142 --> 00:15:36,309
like two guys
in a horse costume,
297
00:15:36,353 --> 00:15:39,437
a blue lady flying around
on a 30-foot pole,
298
00:15:39,481 --> 00:15:42,065
and you can't forget
about those cats.
299
00:15:42,108 --> 00:15:45,318
There will be cheerleaders
with kitty heads.
300
00:15:45,362 --> 00:15:49,447
They won't be in your way.
I just don't want you
to get shocked by them.
301
00:15:49,491 --> 00:15:51,199
Are they my kitty
cheerleaders or--
302
00:15:51,242 --> 00:15:52,533
they're cheering for you.
303
00:15:52,535 --> 00:15:54,994
Ah. We have cheerleaders.
304
00:15:56,206 --> 00:15:58,706
Luckily, I have the four
best cheerleaders
305
00:15:58,750 --> 00:16:00,667
sitting right in front of me.
306
00:16:00,710 --> 00:16:05,838
You are a huge country star.
An iconic legend!
307
00:16:05,882 --> 00:16:08,257
It's some decadent duck.
Go ahead, double ds.
308
00:16:08,301 --> 00:16:12,011
So for my next performance,
I'm gonna lean in
309
00:16:12,055 --> 00:16:16,057
and give them what they want--
a top billed country song.
310
00:16:16,101 --> 00:16:18,851
Time to get quacking.
311
00:16:18,895 --> 00:16:22,647
And now,
to create some buzz,
312
00:16:22,691 --> 00:16:27,318
here's a clue to
the famous face behind mallard.
313
00:16:27,362 --> 00:16:29,946
Nick: Coming up,
who made the list
314
00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:32,323

to be able to come out here

Wow, talk about multi-talented.

Victor can get nicole to bawl

368
00:19:46,269 --> 00:19:48,394
And he's got hops
like this next singer,
369
00:19:48,438 --> 00:19:53,024
who leapt to new heights
with the number six performance
in "masked" history.

So, who was frog?
420
00:21:19,362 --> 00:21:24,282
( all chanting )
take it off! Take it off!
421
00:21:25,702 --> 00:21:28,995
I knew it! Bow wow!
422
00:21:29,038 --> 00:21:33,082
- Rapper, hip-hop legend!
- I can't believe it!
423
00:21:33,084 --> 00:21:34,333
There was a lot
of strong vocalists here.
424
00:21:34,335 --> 00:21:35,543
So I said, "you know what?
425
00:21:35,586 --> 00:21:37,545
I'm gonna come with the swag,"
and it worked.
426
00:21:37,547 --> 00:21:40,381
Yes! Yes!
427
00:21:40,425 --> 00:21:43,342
That was definitely
one of my favorite performances.
428
00:21:43,386 --> 00:21:45,970
I'm not sure
if he was a bullfrog,
429
00:21:46,055 --> 00:21:48,889
but we do have a bull
competing to win group a
430
00:21:48,933 --> 00:21:52,268
and move on to
our head-to-head finale.
431
00:21:52,312 --> 00:21:54,103
Let's hear from this contender
432
00:21:54,147 --> 00:21:58,107
who's been bulldozing
the competition.
433
00:21:58,151 --> 00:22:00,359
My last performance
was completely different
434
00:22:00,403 --> 00:22:03,946
than what you saw
in my first three,
435
00:22:03,990 --> 00:22:06,615
because it was, well, subtle.
436
00:22:06,659 --> 00:22:08,576
♪ there is nothing
437
00:22:08,619 --> 00:22:12,830
♪ that I wouldn't do
438
00:22:12,874 --> 00:22:17,960
♪ to make you feel my love
439
00:22:19,047 --> 00:22:20,671
you stripped it all back
and you just said,
440
00:22:20,715 --> 00:22:24,842
"I'm gonna let my voice and my
heart just speak for itself."
441
00:22:24,886 --> 00:22:26,510
and thank you so much
for letting us in.
442
00:22:28,097 --> 00:22:32,099
I feel like
I showed you 100% bull.
443
00:22:32,101 --> 00:22:34,935
Let's be real,
I loved dramatically
444
00:22:34,979 --> 00:22:37,605
lying on a couch
in the middle of the stage.
445
00:22:39,067 --> 00:22:41,942
This is the life.
446
00:22:41,986 --> 00:22:43,027
( laughter )
447
00:22:43,071 --> 00:22:44,987
slowing down let me reflect
448
00:22:45,031 --> 00:22:47,656
on why I love taking risks,
449
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:49,867
but also think about
who would be there if I fail.
450
00:22:49,869 --> 00:22:54,997
And that's why
I am really glad that my mom
is here to support me.
451
00:22:55,041 --> 00:22:57,166
Spending time with her
as my secret guest
452
00:22:57,210 --> 00:23:01,045
has encouraged me to go
even bigger with my next song.
453
00:23:01,089 --> 00:23:03,130
So let's just walk you
through, like, placement.
454
00:23:04,967 --> 00:23:06,467
You're gonna start
on just the bottom step.
455
00:23:07,595 --> 00:23:09,929
Do you want to start up there?
456
00:23:09,931 --> 00:23:12,089
And I'm going to
keep aiming higher
457
00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:14,225
until I reach the top, okurr?
458
00:23:14,268 --> 00:23:17,812
I'll never reach
the top of anything,
459
00:23:17,855 --> 00:23:22,566
but you can step up with this
sneaky clue to bull's identity.
460
00:23:24,195 --> 00:23:26,237
Nick:
Now let's clown around
461
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,490
with the zany jester
we met last week.
462
00:23:29,534 --> 00:23:31,951

They'll do anything

473
00:24:00,815 --> 00:24:04,608
I didn't come here just scare
all nick cannon's kids.
474
00:24:04,652 --> 00:24:06,652
( barks )
475
00:24:06,696 --> 00:24:09,447
- ( music box playing )
- I'm like a haunted house.
476
00:24:09,490 --> 00:24:12,616
It's fun not knowing
what's right around the corner.
477
00:24:12,660 --> 00:24:16,745
- ( cackling )
- and not to brag,
but my next performance
478
00:24:16,747 --> 00:24:20,291
will be the weirdest thing
you've ever seen.
479
00:24:20,334 --> 00:24:22,501
We're gonna get you
a shot from overhead
480
00:24:22,545 --> 00:24:23,919
straight up to the sky.
481
00:24:23,963 --> 00:24:25,880
- Oh, you mean on my back?
- Yes, sir.
482
00:24:25,923 --> 00:24:28,215
( laughs )
483
00:24:28,217 --> 00:24:29,917
- I'll give it a go.
- Okay.
484
00:24:29,927 --> 00:24:33,262
All right, I'm up for anything.
If it works and it's yippee--
485
00:24:33,306 --> 00:24:37,266
it's a lot of work
being the wildest wild card.
486
00:24:37,310 --> 00:24:38,851
( groans )
487
00:24:38,895 --> 00:24:42,438
great. Medic! Help!
488
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,607
And help me, too.
489
00:24:44,650 --> 00:24:46,066
This shark is big,
490
00:24:46,110 --> 00:24:50,237
and it's a big hint
to jester's mystery identity.
491
00:24:50,281 --> 00:24:55,784
Nick: Coming up, more exclusive
behind the scenes footage...
492
00:24:55,828 --> 00:24:57,912
Banana, that was fantastic.
493
00:24:57,955 --> 00:24:59,955
Yeah, that was fun.
Thank you. Who is that?
494
00:24:59,957 --> 00:25:01,790
...And which
all-time performance
495
00:25:01,834 --> 00:25:03,501
will top our countdown?

00:25:03,544 --> 00:25:05,461
Don't miss a moment.
497
00:25:23,981 --> 00:25:28,943
This is going to affect
my already limited
dancing ability.
498
00:25:28,945 --> 00:25:31,403
Is this...
499
00:25:32,990 --> 00:25:36,200
Choreographers had very low
expectations of my dancing,
500
00:25:36,244 --> 00:25:40,204

There it is!
Singer, songwriter
jesse mccartney!
570
00:30:04,261 --> 00:30:05,302
What a journey.
571
00:30:05,346 --> 00:30:07,805
This has been
a very, very long road.
572
00:30:07,848 --> 00:30:11,266
This has been an experience
I'll never forget, truly.
573
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:14,895
Jesse will be back on
this stage later this season
574
00:30:14,939 --> 00:30:19,858
for something
we've never done before--
"masked singer" duets.
575
00:30:19,902 --> 00:30:23,362
All right, before we reveal
which performance is number one,
576
00:30:23,405 --> 00:30:26,156
let's catch up
with banana split
577
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,284
and listen
for sweet new clues.
578
00:30:29,328 --> 00:30:33,789
- Sharing this crazy journey
as the season's only duo...
- Wow.
579
00:30:33,833 --> 00:30:37,751
...We've really learned that
we'll never desert each other.
580
00:30:37,753 --> 00:30:40,254
Though we do have separate
dressing rooms, of course,
581
00:30:40,297 --> 00:30:44,466
especially because
he's the diva of the pair.
582
00:30:44,510 --> 00:30:46,051
That's fair.
583
00:30:46,095 --> 00:30:48,178
But, you know,
from a stark rehearsal room
584
00:30:48,222 --> 00:30:50,973
to a whirlwind
of practicing on stage,
585
00:30:51,016 --> 00:30:52,057
to the magic of show night,
586
00:30:52,101 --> 00:30:54,268
it's been the ride
of a lifetime.
587
00:30:56,730 --> 00:30:59,940
I think our strength
is how theatrical we are.
588
00:30:59,984 --> 00:31:02,150
- Well, my strength is you.
- Aww.
589
00:31:02,194 --> 00:31:06,363

wow!
592
00:31:16,417 --> 00:31:19,126
I'll be honest,
we almost said no
593
00:31:19,169 --> 00:31:20,711
to doing the show together.
594
00:31:20,754 --> 00:31:21,837
Thankfully, we said yes,
595
00:31:22,172 --> 00:31:25,591
because we love getting
to be playful and goofy.
596
00:31:25,634 --> 00:31:29,761
And next time you see us,
we're gonna prove
we have the drive,
597
00:31:29,763 --> 00:31:34,850
the showmanship,
and, well, her voice
to win the golden mask.
598
00:31:34,894 --> 00:31:36,018
But how will we split it?
599
00:31:36,061 --> 00:31:37,936
( giggles )
see what I did there?
600
00:31:37,938 --> 00:31:41,607
Now get your fingerprints
on this clue
601
00:31:41,650 --> 00:31:45,235
and ride the wave
to banana split's identity.
602
00:31:48,198 --> 00:31:49,823
Nick:
What's that smell?
603
00:31:49,867 --> 00:31:52,284
It's time to get
the scoop on skunk.
604
00:31:52,328 --> 00:31:55,037
Even after four performances,
605
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,497
the panel's reactions
still flatter me.
606
00:31:57,541 --> 00:32:02,836
We are in the midst
of a young living legend.
607
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,506
I'm trying to pick songs
that really showcase my voice,
608
00:32:06,550 --> 00:32:08,216
and I've been working
my tail off
609
00:32:08,260 --> 00:32:12,387

to the legendary songs
I'm singing.

( laughs )
617
00:32:33,369 --> 00:32:35,827
but thank god, whenever
I get on that stage,
618
00:32:35,871 --> 00:32:41,333
I transform from a tomboy
into this elegant,
sultry vixen-- skunk.
619
00:32:41,335 --> 00:32:44,670
I'm really feeling the pressure
for my next performance,
620
00:32:44,713 --> 00:32:48,423
because I'm singing
one of the most iconic
love songs of all time
621
00:32:48,467 --> 00:32:51,385
by an artist that I have
a deep connection to.

I'm gonna take this

712

- Oh.
- Oh, my god.
713
00:38:14,001 --> 00:38:16,042
Whoo!
714
00:38:16,086 --> 00:38:20,964
Nick: Coming up, we'll meet
our final wild card.
715
00:38:20,966 --> 00:38:23,383
Plus, the number-one
performance
716
00:38:23,427 --> 00:38:26,052
in "masked singer" history.
717
00:38:26,096 --> 00:38:28,555
What will it be?
718
00:38:36,481 --> 00:38:39,983
Welcome back to
"the masked singer"
super all-time countdown.
719
00:38:40,027 --> 00:38:45,405
So far, we've heard the nine
most spectacular performances
in "masked singer" history,
720
00:38:45,449 --> 00:38:48,199
and very soon
we'll reveal who's number one.
721
00:38:48,201 --> 00:38:50,493
Which song do
you think it'll be?
722
00:38:50,537 --> 00:38:53,330
Tweet us by using that hashtag,
themaskedsinger.
723
00:38:53,373 --> 00:38:58,418
But now it's time to meet
our next and last wild card.
724
00:38:58,462 --> 00:39:03,590
This undercover star
is pumped to blow up
the competition.
725
00:39:03,633 --> 00:39:07,052
Its ocean blue eyes
are on the prize.
726
00:39:07,095 --> 00:39:10,347
Behold beach ball.
727
00:39:10,390 --> 00:39:12,349
I've been eyeing
the other singers,
728
00:39:12,392 --> 00:39:14,893
and it's time
for them to bounce.
729
00:39:14,936 --> 00:39:17,520
I'm here to bring the party,
the good vibes,
730
00:39:17,564 --> 00:39:19,522
and a boatload of sand.
731
00:39:19,566 --> 00:39:22,233
Sorry, clean-up crew.
732
00:39:22,235 --> 00:39:25,320
This costume
is a one of a kind marvel.
733
00:39:25,364 --> 00:39:28,740
Literally anyone
or anything can be inside.
734
00:39:28,784 --> 00:39:32,702
It started
with a computer model
of 12 triangular pieces,
735
00:39:32,746 --> 00:39:35,330
which were assembled
into a six-foot sphere.
736
00:39:35,374 --> 00:39:37,248
A giant vinyl beach ball
covering
737
00:39:37,292 --> 00:39:39,834
was painstakingly fitted
over the form,
738
00:39:39,878 --> 00:39:43,797
then a mouth and jaw
apparatus built inside
for puppeteering.
739
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,591
We've never seen anything
like beach ball.
740
00:39:46,635 --> 00:39:51,096
America, I'm so excited for you
to hear my voice next show.
741
00:39:51,139 --> 00:39:53,056
But first,
here's a massive clue,
742
00:39:53,100 --> 00:39:54,724
and it's not for the birds.
743
00:39:54,768 --> 00:40:00,355
A beach ball and my name
are actually a perfect match.
744
00:40:00,399 --> 00:40:02,148
Bye-bye for now!
745
00:40:02,192 --> 00:40:06,152
Wow, that beach ball
may be around for a while,
746
00:40:06,196 --> 00:40:10,448
but now it's time
to reveal the number one
performance
747
00:40:10,492 --> 00:40:13,284

from the singer who won
the very first golden mask,
749
00:40:17,124 --> 00:40:22,127

Ladies and gentlemen,
I think we have just
witnessed greatness.

00:42:01,061 --> 00:42:03,895
So, who was monster?

T-pain!

Are you kidding me?
It's t-pain!
776
00:42:23,458 --> 00:42:26,292
I didn't have a chance
to come into the game
with my natural voice.
777
00:42:26,336 --> 00:42:28,878
And, you know,
a lot of my peers did
and they get accepted.
778
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:33,341
This helped me get my voice
out there even more,

Except me.
I knew it was t-pain
the whole time.

00:42:43,270 --> 00:42:45,228
That's my friend.
783
00:42:45,230 --> 00:42:48,356
