00:00:01,752 --> 00:00:03,127
( vocalizing )
2
00:00:03,129 --> 00:00:05,254
both:
♪ I'm falling to pieces
3
00:00:05,297 --> 00:00:07,965
both: ♪ ain't no mountain
high enough ♪
4
00:00:08,009 --> 00:00:12,344
the winner of group a,
the bull!
5
00:00:14,306 --> 00:00:15,305
Whoa!
6
00:00:15,349 --> 00:00:18,017
We finally get
to see who you are!
7
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:19,059
Take it off!
8
00:00:19,103 --> 00:00:21,228
Nick: Faith evans!
9
00:00:22,982 --> 00:00:25,482
Welcome to the group b finals.
10
00:00:25,526 --> 00:00:26,483
Yeah!
11
00:00:26,527 --> 00:00:29,028
( powering down )
12
00:00:29,071 --> 00:00:32,197
nick: Men in black,
go check that out.
13
00:00:34,118 --> 00:00:37,036
( powering up )
14
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:42,332
( music playing )
15
00:00:43,252 --> 00:00:45,419
your versatility
knows no bounds.
16
00:00:45,463 --> 00:00:50,466
Probably one of my favorite
performances ever on this show.
17
00:00:50,509 --> 00:00:53,093
Whoa! So good.
18
00:00:53,095 --> 00:00:56,096
Only one will face
the bull in the finale.
19
00:00:56,140 --> 00:00:57,806
For the other, it's...
20
00:00:57,850 --> 00:01:00,559
- Two of the best ever.
- Jenny: It's killing me!
21
00:01:00,561 --> 00:01:02,311
...Lights out.
22
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,525
- ♪ who are you?
- Whoo!
23
00:01:08,569 --> 00:01:10,861
♪ who, who, who, who
24
00:01:10,905 --> 00:01:12,863
♪ come on, tell me,

25
00:01:12,907 --> 00:01:15,574

♪ oh, I really wanna know
28
00:01:19,497 --> 00:01:23,540
♪ who are you?
29
00:01:24,835 --> 00:01:26,210
- Whoo!
- Wow!
30
00:01:26,253 --> 00:01:30,130
Welcome to "the masked singer"
and our group b finals.
31
00:01:30,132 --> 00:01:33,175
Are you guys as excited as I am?
32
00:01:33,177 --> 00:01:35,010
Ow!
33
00:01:35,054 --> 00:01:36,512
Oh, yeah.
34
00:01:36,555 --> 00:01:39,181
And then there were two,
35
00:01:39,225 --> 00:01:42,518
banana split
and queen of hearts.
36
00:01:43,646 --> 00:01:46,939
Oh, it's gonna be good.
It's gonna be good.
37
00:01:46,982 --> 00:01:48,982
Tonight's winner
will go mask-to-mask
38
00:01:48,984 --> 00:01:52,736
against our group a winner
the bull.
39
00:01:52,780 --> 00:01:57,241
That's right.
We are just seven days away
from our season finale.
40
00:01:57,284 --> 00:01:58,117
What?
41
00:01:58,327 --> 00:02:01,078
But first,
here's how tonight works.
42
00:02:01,122 --> 00:02:03,163
Both banana split
and queen of hearts
43
00:02:03,165 --> 00:02:06,291
will perform
one solo performance
and one duet.
44
00:02:06,335 --> 00:02:08,752
The singers' duet partners
are some young upstarts
45
00:02:08,796 --> 00:02:10,963
we found hanging around
the parking lot.
46
00:02:11,006 --> 00:02:13,215
A guy by the name
of robin thicke.
47
00:02:13,259 --> 00:02:16,093
- Nice! Yeah!
- Yeah!
48
00:02:16,137 --> 00:02:17,302
- Yeah, let's go!
- We're doing this.
49
00:02:17,346 --> 00:02:18,846
- Ken: Let's go!
- We're doing this.
50
00:02:18,848 --> 00:02:21,014
- Let's go.
- Yes!
51
00:02:21,058 --> 00:02:24,560
And a super talented,
gorgeous young lady,
52
00:02:24,603 --> 00:02:26,186
uh, nicole scherzinger.
53
00:02:26,230 --> 00:02:28,856
- Yeah!
- Come on!
54
00:02:28,899 --> 00:02:30,732
Come on!
55
00:02:32,444 --> 00:02:35,112
How did it take us,
like, six seasons
56
00:02:35,114 --> 00:02:36,780
to get to hear you guys sing?
57
00:02:36,824 --> 00:02:38,866
Well, there was a lot
of singers on the show.
58
00:02:38,909 --> 00:02:41,118
That makes sense.
59
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,745
Yo, it's about time.
I'm so excited.
60
00:02:43,789 --> 00:02:46,206
Well, since
we're already talking to them,
let's give it up for them.
61
00:02:46,250 --> 00:02:48,375
Make some noise for our panel,
62
00:02:48,419 --> 00:02:51,962
the best-looking
and most amazing panel on tv.
63
00:02:52,047 --> 00:02:54,840
Who raised you?
Get off the furniture!
64
00:02:54,884 --> 00:02:56,675
All right, all right.
Sorry, daddy.
65
00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:58,886
Nick: Farrah fawcett flip!
66
00:02:58,929 --> 00:03:00,345
Super fly right there.
67
00:03:00,389 --> 00:03:01,847
And speaking of super fly,
68
00:03:01,891 --> 00:03:03,807
give it up for my man
robin thicke.
69
00:03:03,851 --> 00:03:05,184
Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait!
70
00:03:05,269 --> 00:03:10,063
I sat and you mocked me,
and he sat and you praise him?
71
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:12,733
You kinda, like, sprawled.
72
00:03:12,776 --> 00:03:15,652
- Sit your butt down, ken.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay.
73
00:03:15,696 --> 00:03:18,822
All right, let's get
this clash of titans started.
74
00:03:18,866 --> 00:03:21,033
You guys ready?
75
00:03:21,035 --> 00:03:24,369
We're kicking things off
with banana split.
76
00:03:29,084 --> 00:03:32,669
It's almost impossible
to not hear the things
that people will say about you.
77
00:03:32,713 --> 00:03:36,757
I mean,
in the world that we live in,
it's kind of everywhere.
78
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:41,386
People say I'm fame obsessed,
like I'm an egomaniac.
79
00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:43,639
I've heard people say
I'm not very bright
80
00:03:43,682 --> 00:03:46,642
but at least I'm pretty,
like that makes it hurt less.
81
00:03:46,685 --> 00:03:49,019
Sometimes it can feel like
the weight of the world really.
82
00:03:49,063 --> 00:03:52,356
It can dampen your self esteem,
and it kinda makes you
question everything.
83
00:03:52,358 --> 00:03:54,066
It feels like they've been
through a lot together.
84
00:03:54,109 --> 00:03:56,318
- Jenny: Yeah.
- The critics,
they can be cruel.
85
00:03:56,362 --> 00:03:59,238
Split:
But when we're performing,
we shut out the noise.
86
00:03:59,281 --> 00:04:03,033
- The static is gone.
- Windy city? I know that.
87
00:04:03,077 --> 00:04:05,869
And for that moment,
88
00:04:05,913 --> 00:04:08,789
nothing else matters.
89
00:04:08,832 --> 00:04:11,959
Yeah, together we know
that we can get through
any kind of storm.
90
00:04:12,002 --> 00:04:13,460
Oh, you cheese ball.
91
00:04:16,048 --> 00:04:17,756
I think I saw a kiss at the end.
92
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,550
- A banana split kiss.

Banana split!
122
00:06:17,544 --> 00:06:19,211
- Wow.
- Wow!
123
00:06:19,254 --> 00:06:21,088
Right?
124
00:06:21,131 --> 00:06:22,255
Tap dancing!
125
00:06:22,257 --> 00:06:24,883
- Come on!
- We've never had tap dancing.
126
00:06:24,927 --> 00:06:29,721
Banana split! Good stuff.
127
00:06:29,723 --> 00:06:33,475
I mean, a tap dancing
ice cream, people.
128
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:35,143
Come on.
129
00:06:36,105 --> 00:06:38,230
Only on "the masked singer."
130
00:06:38,273 --> 00:06:40,232
both: Only on
"the masked singer."
131
00:06:40,275 --> 00:06:42,234
first of all, miss thing,
132
00:06:42,277 --> 00:06:45,862
every week, like, your vocals
sound like a record.
133
00:06:45,864 --> 00:06:47,155
They're always perfect.
134
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:49,533
And, banana,
you know how much we love you.
135
00:06:49,618 --> 00:06:51,743
We know that you're the genius
behind the mask,
136
00:06:51,745 --> 00:06:55,038
and together you are the light
of our show this season.
137
00:06:55,082 --> 00:06:57,040
So thank you so much.
We love you.
138
00:06:57,084 --> 00:06:59,626
Ken: Yes. Absolutely.
139
00:06:59,628 --> 00:07:02,421
Honestly, the banana is one
of my favorite characters
140
00:07:02,464 --> 00:07:04,589
- in "masked singer" history.
- Wow! Ken!
141
00:07:04,633 --> 00:07:07,050
I can attest.
He will not stop talking
about banana.
142
00:07:07,094 --> 00:07:09,928
Ken: I hang every word
the banana says,
143
00:07:09,930 --> 00:07:12,639
and that's why you are
a perfect duo. Amazing.
144
00:07:12,683 --> 00:07:16,059
I feel like one day you should
do a duet with banana.
145
00:07:16,061 --> 00:07:19,104
I would be--
I would be honored,
146
00:07:19,139 --> 00:07:21,064
but I gotta work
on my own terms.
147
00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:23,233
I don't like to get up
before noon,
148
00:07:23,277 --> 00:07:24,651
and I like to have a big limo
shovel me in.
149
00:07:24,695 --> 00:07:27,112
- I need
a certain temperature...
- No. Ken, ken?
150
00:07:27,156 --> 00:07:27,988
Yep. Yes, sir.
151
00:07:27,990 --> 00:07:28,905
I don't get to talk very much,
152
00:07:29,158 --> 00:07:32,534
but I think I can
make you sound great.
153
00:07:32,578 --> 00:07:35,829
- Nick: Ooh.
- Nicole: Is he a producer?
154
00:07:35,831 --> 00:07:39,541
That is the highest compliment
I've ever received in my life.
155
00:07:39,543 --> 00:07:41,084
Thank you.
156
00:07:41,086 --> 00:07:42,627
- From a talking fruit.
- Ken: In my life.
157
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:46,840
All right, well, tonight
we'll be gifted a t-shirt
158
00:07:46,884 --> 00:07:49,092
with a one-word clue
from our singers
159
00:07:49,094 --> 00:07:51,678
that is a connection to one
of our panelists actually.
160
00:07:51,722 --> 00:07:55,724
- Ooh.
- But how do I get it
to our panel?
161
00:07:55,767 --> 00:07:56,850
Get excited, y'all.
162
00:07:56,894 --> 00:07:59,436
Because it's the return...
163
00:08:00,898 --> 00:08:04,983
...Of the nick cannon cannon.
164
00:08:05,027 --> 00:08:08,278
- Yes!
- Bring it out, men in black!
165
00:08:08,322 --> 00:08:11,239
- I love the nick cannon cannon.
- I mean, really?
166
00:08:11,283 --> 00:08:13,867
Who doesn't love
the nick cannon cannon?
167
00:08:13,911 --> 00:08:15,202
Are you guys ready?
168
00:08:15,204 --> 00:08:17,787
- Yeah, yeah, yeah!
- Yes, sir.
169
00:08:17,831 --> 00:08:21,166
All right,
this one's for nicole.
170
00:08:21,210 --> 00:08:22,959
- Ken: Oh, it's gonna--
- robin: Oh, be careful.
171
00:08:23,003 --> 00:08:24,294
- Be careful.
- Ken: Oh, wow.
172
00:08:24,296 --> 00:08:28,381
- What does it say here?
- Garden.
173
00:08:28,425 --> 00:08:29,758
Nick: All right.
174
00:08:29,801 --> 00:08:32,928
Oh. Madison square
garden maybe!
175
00:08:32,971 --> 00:08:34,846
Ah!
176
00:08:34,890 --> 00:08:40,260
Nicole, I love when
you plant a little seed,
177
00:08:40,262 --> 00:08:41,937
and then you watch it grow
178
00:08:41,939 --> 00:08:44,564
and do great things over
the years.
179
00:08:44,608 --> 00:08:46,149
Oh, nicole.
180
00:08:46,193 --> 00:08:48,318
Nick: I think he said
some key words there.
181
00:08:48,403 --> 00:08:50,987
So, nicole, were you
picking up on anything?
182
00:08:51,031 --> 00:08:53,782
Yeah, I'm trying
not to cry right now.
183
00:08:53,825 --> 00:08:55,158
Aw, you're gonna make me cry.
184
00:08:55,202 --> 00:08:57,327
Yeah, banana went
for the heartstrings.
185
00:08:57,329 --> 00:08:59,621
I didn't expect to cry,
like-- whoo!
186
00:08:59,665 --> 00:09:03,917
Um, I got my start
on a show called "popstars."
187
00:09:03,961 --> 00:09:06,962
and I had a very famous
big time producer
188
00:09:07,005 --> 00:09:09,798
on the show by the name
of david foster.
189
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,261
- Oh!
- Nicole: Who mentored us
and discovered us.
190
00:09:14,304 --> 00:09:18,431
And just recently he produced me
with andrea bocelli.
191
00:09:18,475 --> 00:09:21,393
And andrea bocelli
and I performed
at madison square garden
192
00:09:21,395 --> 00:09:23,687
which,
thanks to david foster,
brought us together.
193
00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:26,356
- That's amazing!
- Ken: I agree with nicole.
194
00:09:26,358 --> 00:09:28,066
I mean, they had a clue,
the windy city.
195
00:09:28,110 --> 00:09:31,987
David foster saved
the group chicago.
196
00:09:32,030 --> 00:09:34,322
He reinvented their sound.
197
00:09:34,366 --> 00:09:37,325
Basically,
he is a perfect producer.
198
00:09:37,327 --> 00:09:40,704
And I do feel that the split
is katharine mcphee, who--
199
00:09:40,747 --> 00:09:41,955
yes.
200
00:09:42,332 --> 00:09:45,333
I've had the pleasure of working
with katharine on "community."
201
00:09:45,377 --> 00:09:47,335
and plus, the fact
that they're a couple,
202
00:09:47,337 --> 00:09:51,006
it's gotta be david foster
and katharine mcphee.
203
00:09:51,049 --> 00:09:53,300
How amazing would that be?
204
00:09:53,343 --> 00:09:56,136
That level of talent
on our show?
205
00:09:56,179 --> 00:09:59,180
- It would be insane.
- Let me interject here.
206
00:09:59,224 --> 00:10:02,058
When I was born,
david foster and my father
were best friends, right?
207
00:10:02,144 --> 00:10:03,101
So I grew up with uncle david.
208
00:10:03,395 --> 00:10:06,021
Let me tell you why
this is not david foster.
209
00:10:06,064 --> 00:10:09,024
- It's not uncle dave?
- Let me tell you why
that's not uncle dave.
210
00:10:09,067 --> 00:10:10,817
Oh, I'm getting my popcorn
out right now.
211
00:10:10,861 --> 00:10:13,987
Because uncle dave is so proud
of himself and his work,
212
00:10:14,031 --> 00:10:16,197
he would never come
on this show as a banana.
213
00:10:16,241 --> 00:10:17,282
Oh!
214
00:10:17,326 --> 00:10:20,076
He'd come on as a yacht
or a helicopter,
215
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,245
killer whale, or something.
216
00:10:22,289 --> 00:10:24,581
No, no, but seriously,
I still think it could be
217
00:10:24,625 --> 00:10:27,167
a great collaborative
producer/singer team.
218
00:10:27,169 --> 00:10:29,711
- Right.
- Like a ryan tedder,
leona lewis.
219
00:10:29,713 --> 00:10:30,962
Ryan tedder's
from "onerepublic."
220
00:10:31,298 --> 00:10:33,465
- he writes for adele.
He plays drums, piano.
- Nicole: Epic.
221
00:10:33,508 --> 00:10:34,507
- Absolutely.
- Nick: There it is.
222
00:10:34,885 --> 00:10:37,594
All right, our clue expert.
Jenny, what you got?
223
00:10:37,638 --> 00:10:41,264
You know, I'm all over
the place a little bit
224
00:10:41,308 --> 00:10:44,934
even though I think nicole
and ken are onto something.
225
00:10:44,978 --> 00:10:47,729
But I saw the windy city
license plate
226
00:10:47,773 --> 00:10:50,899
and it actually
made me think of richard gere
and catherine zeta-jones.
227
00:10:50,942 --> 00:10:52,942
You know, 'cause
they performed in "chicago."
228
00:10:52,944 --> 00:10:55,695
but then they kissed
in the package,
229
00:10:55,739 --> 00:10:58,698
and that made think
it's gotta be a couple.
230
00:10:58,742 --> 00:11:02,911
So I'm sticking
with jeff goldblum
and his wife emily.
231
00:11:02,954 --> 00:11:06,206
- Robin: There we go.
- Nick: Interesting.
232
00:11:06,208 --> 00:11:08,249
All I know is
you guys were a blast,
233
00:11:08,293 --> 00:11:10,210
and I can't wait to see
you guys perform again.
234
00:11:10,212 --> 00:11:12,712
We are in the presence
of greatness.
235
00:11:12,756 --> 00:11:17,258
Banana split, go ahead
and head backstage
and ice yourself off.
236
00:11:18,512 --> 00:11:20,887
Aw, they're so great.
237
00:11:20,931 --> 00:11:25,308
Hey there, banana split.
It's your bff/doc, dr. Phil.
238
00:11:25,352 --> 00:11:29,062
It is so much fun watching you
on "masked singer."
239
00:11:29,106 --> 00:11:31,064
as for the audience
and you judges,
240
00:11:31,108 --> 00:11:34,150
you might need a lot
of therapy after this,
241
00:11:34,194 --> 00:11:37,946
and I ain't cheap,
so good luck to you too.
242
00:11:37,989 --> 00:11:39,823
Nick: Coming up,
243
00:11:39,866 --> 00:11:42,283
the battle
for the finals continues.
244
00:11:42,327 --> 00:11:44,994
This is the greatest show ever.
245
00:11:45,038 --> 00:11:49,499
And for the first time ever,
robin and nicole take the stage
for a pair of epic duets.
246
00:11:49,543 --> 00:11:51,000
- Yeah!
- And later...
247
00:11:51,420 --> 00:11:55,255
One of the most
competitive races we've had
in "masked singer" history.
248
00:11:55,298 --> 00:11:58,258
- The winner is...
- Who is it?
249
00:11:58,301 --> 00:12:01,428
- Jenny: No way!
- ♪ who is that?
