your versatility knows no bounds.
Probably one of my favorite performances ever on this show.
Whoa! So good.

Welcome to "the masked singer" and our group b finals.
Are you guys as excited as I am?
Ow!
Oh, yeah.
And then there were two,
banana split and queen of hearts.
Oh, it's gonna be good. It's gonna be good.
Tonight's winner will go mask-to-mask
against our group a winner the bull.
That's right. We are just seven days away from our season finale.
What?
But first, here's how tonight works.
Both banana split and queen of hearts
will perform one solo performance and one duet.
The singers' duet partners are some young upstarts
we found hanging around the parking lot.
A guy by the name of robin thicke.
- Nice! Yeah! - Yeah!
- Yeah, let's go! - We're doing this.
- Ken: Let's go! - We're doing this.
- Let's go. - Yes!
And a super talented, gorgeous young lady,
uh, nicole scherzinger.
- Yeah! - Come on!
Come on!
How did it take us, like, six seasons
to get to hear you guys sing?
Well, there was a lot of singers on the show.
That makes sense.
Yo, it's about time. I'm so excited.
Well, since we're already talking to them, let's give it up for them.
Make some noise for our panel,
the best-looking and most amazing panel on tv.
Who raised you? Get off the furniture!
All right, all right. Sorry, daddy.
Nick: Farrah fawcett flip!
Super fly right there.
And speaking of super fly,
give it up for my man robin thicke.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
I sat and you mocked me, and he sat and you praise him?
You kinda, like, sprawled.
- Sit your butt down, ken. - Okay, okay, okay, okay.
All right, let's get this clash of titans started.
You guys ready?
We're kicking things off with banana split.
It's almost impossible to not hear the things that people will say about you.
I mean, in the world that we live in, it's kind of everywhere.
People say I'm fame obsessed, like I'm an egomaniac.
I've heard people say I'm not very bright
but at least I'm pretty, like that makes it hurt less.
Sometimes it can feel like the weight of the world really.
It can dampen your self esteem, and it kinda makes you question everything.
It feels like they've been through a lot together.
- Jenny: Yeah. - The critics, they can be cruel.
Split: But when we're performing, we shut out the noise.
- The static is gone. - Windy city? I know that.
And for that moment,
nothing else matters.
Yeah, together we know that we can get through any kind of storm.
Oh, you cheese ball.
I think I saw a kiss at the end.
- A banana split kiss. - Huh.

all: Banana split! Banana split!
- Wow. - Wow!
Right?
Tap dancing!
- Come on! - We've never had tap dancing.
Banana split! Good stuff.
I mean, a tap dancing ice cream, people.
Come on.
Only on "the masked singer."
both: Only on "the masked singer."
first of all, miss thing,
every week, like, your vocals sound like a record.
They're always perfect.
And, banana, you know how much we love you.
We know that you're the genius behind the mask,
and together you are the light of our show this season.
So thank you so much. We love you.
Ken: Yes. Absolutely.
Honestly, the banana is one of my favorite characters
- in "masked singer" history. - Wow! Ken!
I can attest. He will not stop talking about banana.
Ken: I hang every word the banana says,
and that's why you are a perfect duo. Amazing.
I feel like one day you should do a duet with banana.
I would be-- I would be honored,
but I gotta work on my own terms.
I don't like to get up before noon,
and I like to have a big limo shovel me in.
- I need a certain temperature... - No. Ken, ken?
Yep. Yes, sir.
I don't get to talk very much,
but I think I can make you sound great.
- Nick: Ooh. - Nicole: Is he a producer?
That is the highest compliment I've ever received in my life.
Thank you.
- From a talking fruit. - Ken: In my life.
All right, well, tonight we'll be gifted a t-shirt
with a one-word clue from our singers
that is a connection to one of our panelists actually.
- Ooh. - But how do I get it to our panel?
Get excited, y'all.
Because it's the return...
...Of the nick cannon cannon.
- Yes! - Bring it out, men in black!
- I love the nick cannon cannon. - I mean, really?
Who doesn't love the nick cannon cannon?
Are you guys ready?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah! - Yes, sir.
All right, this one's for nicole.
- Ken: Oh, it's gonna-- - robin: Oh, be careful.
- Be careful. - Ken: Oh, wow.
- What does it say here? - Garden.
Nick: All right.
Oh. Madison square garden maybe!
Ah!
Nicole, I love when you plant a little seed,
and then you watch it grow
and do great things over the years.
Oh, nicole.
Nick: I think he said some key words there.
So, nicole, were you picking up on anything?
Yeah, I'm trying not to cry right now.
Aw, you're gonna make me cry.
Yeah, banana went for the heartstrings.
I didn't expect to cry, like-- whoo!
Um, I got my start on a show called "popstars."
and I had a very famous big time producer
on the show by the name of david foster.
- Oh! - Nicole: Who mentored us and discovered us.
And just recently he produced me with andrea bocelli.
And andrea bocelli and I performed at madison square garden
which, thanks to david foster, brought us together.
- That's amazing! - Ken: I agree with nicole.
I mean, they had a clue, the windy city.
David foster saved the group chicago.
He reinvented their sound.
Basically, he is a perfect producer.
And I do feel that the split is katharine mcphee, who--
yes.
I've had the pleasure of working with katharine on "community."
and plus, the fact that they're a couple,
it's gotta be david foster and katharine mcphee.
How amazing would that be?
That level of talent on our show?
- It would be insane. - Let me interject here.
When I was born, david foster and my father were best friends, right?
So I grew up with uncle david.
Let me tell you why this is not david foster.
- It's not uncle dave? - Let me tell you why that's not uncle dave.
Oh, I'm getting my popcorn out right now.
Because uncle dave is so proud of himself and his work,
he would never come on this show as a banana.
Oh!
He'd come on as a yacht or a helicopter,
killer whale, or something.
No, no, but seriously, I still think it could be
a great collaborative producer/singer team.
- Right. - Like a ryan tedder, leona lewis.
Ryan tedder's from "onerepublic."
- he writes for adele. He plays drums, piano. - Nicole: Epic.
- Absolutely. - Nick: There it is.
All right, our clue expert. Jenny, what you got?
You know, I'm all over the place a little bit
even though I think nicole and ken are onto something.
But I saw the windy city license plate
and it actually made me think of richard gere and catherine zeta-jones.
You know, 'cause they performed in "chicago."
but then they kissed in the package,
and that made think it's gotta be a couple.
So I'm sticking with jeff goldblum and his wife emily.
- Robin: There we go. - Nick: Interesting.
All I know is you guys were a blast,
and I can't wait to see you guys perform again.
We are in the presence of greatness.
Banana split, go ahead and head backstage and ice yourself off.
Aw, they're so great.
Hey there, banana split. It's your bff/doc, dr. Phil.
It is so much fun watching you on "masked singer."
as for the audience and you judges,
you might need a lot of therapy after this,
and I ain't cheap, so good luck to you too.
Nick: Coming up,
the battle for the finals continues.
This is the greatest show ever.
And for the first time ever, robin and nicole take the stage for a pair of epic duets.
- Yeah! - And later...
One of the most competitive races we've had in "masked singer" history.
- The winner is... - Who is it?
- Jenny: No way! - ♪ who is that?
It's me again, miss masky, here with a shining clue for banana split.
Can you at-home detectives figure it out?
♪ who is that?
Welcome back to "the masked singer"
and our group b finals.
Up next is her majesty, queen of hearts.
For my entire life, I wanted to have a sense of community,
and I found it in some really unusual and unexpected places.
There was definitely a time in my life
when I was living like an animal.
My primary concerns were where to get food,
where to get shelter that was safe.
- Wow. - Oh, that's a devil. Red devil.
I remember this one time I was walking down the street,
and I was really losing hope.
And this man I passed by, he looked at me,
and darn it if that man did not reach into his pocket
and hand me out a $5 bill.
Knowing that he wanted me to eat that night,
- it just meant the world. - Wow.
Look at your own life, and you go, "I gotta stop complaining."
I've gotten to see life from both sides now,
real poor and real wealthy, and I still gotta say,
it is the poorest people who are the most generous.
She's gone through so much. She's so inspiring.
She's empowering.

nick: Wow.
The queen is in the building.
Everyone's on their feet and nicole is in tears.
Talk to the queen, please.
I mean, all hail the queen, everybody.
Right?
Like, probably one of my favorite performances ever on this show.
There's a reason that you're the heart.
You're like the blood in our veins to our heart right now through that performance.
- Thank you so much. - Ken: Absolutely.
It's one thing just as a fan of music to enjoy performance,
but it's another thing to feel it, and god bless you.
We're just honored to be in your presence.
Y'all, I am shaking from that performance.
I'm just shaking.
Okay, I'm pulling it together.
So that's a heartfelt performance.
Extremely powerful, but before we get to the guessing,
I'm sure the panel needs some help.
Men in black, bring out the nick cannon cannon.
Yeah! Come on!
- I'm ready! - You think you're so cool with that cannon.
All right, ken, this one's for you.
Oh, for me?
- Oh, oh! - Where is it?
There it is, ken. There it is, ken.
Ken: Thank you.
Wrestle.
Huh. Did you do "wrestlemania" or something?
Nick: Well, queen of hearts can help us out.
So I'm not afraid, like you,
to get in the ring and get a little bit "dirrrty."
- ooh! - "dirrrty."
- robin: Dirty. - Did you get dirty with the queen of hearts, ken?
First of all, don't tell my wife.
Second of all, I was on "wwe raw."
is "dirty" a christina aguilera reference?
It's-- I think that's right.
Did you have a fling with christina aguilera?
I did not have a fling.
Your face turned as red as that shirt.
I know. I know. Why am I--
jenny: Oh! That's amazing!
Ken: All right, back to the clues.
I don't know if christina aguilera had guested on "wwe raw."
and the way she said "dirty,"
all that reminds me of x-tina because she's--
is that what you call her? X-tina? That's your little nickname?
Yes, christina is a family friend, nick cannon.
We carpool to work.
When she recorded her last album, I was her ride.
Oh, my god.
Could you sit your "genie in a bottle" ass down, please?
Nicole: Yes! Thank you, nick. Thank you, nick.
Christina could pull that off. That's for sure.
- Christina could pull it off. - Jenny: She could pull it off.
And she sang in french a couple weeks ago.
She did the "moulin rouge" thing.
Nicole: She's an amazing singer,
but if I'm going off of some of the clues this week,
I saw a devil. Did y'all see a red devil?
- I did. - Nick: We did.
This artist sang the theme song to "devil wears prada."
kt tunstall.
- Ken: Oh, yeah. - Robin: Oh.
"suddenly I see," people, okay? "suddenly I see."
that's a good name.
Nicole: But we take it back, last time,
I think they won a blockbuster movie award, right?
Ken: Right.
Now the era of the blockbuster movie award,
it was the time of the lilith fair, right?
- Oh, yeah. - Nicole: Do we remember the lilith fair?
I love lilith fair. Yeah.
So I'm thinking sarah mclachlan, natalie merchant,
joan osborne, and you know what?
Paula cole.
"where have all the cowboys gone," people?
What are you, an mtv vj right now? What's going on here, nicole?
I'm helping them out for the bobble heads, ken.
But you know who else was from the lilith fair as well?
Who?
Nicole: I know I said this before,
but I'm hearing it in the voice.
I've been feeling it for a little bit now.
- Jewel. - Ken: Oh.
- Oh, yeah. - Did jewel go to "wrestlemania" or--
probably. Jewel does everything, ken.
Robin: Well, whoever you are,
queen of hearts, you were just incredible.
I don't know who is gonna win tonight,
but you going up against the bull
could be one of the best finals we've ever had.
So thank you so much.
Nick: Absolutely.
Y'all keep it going for queen of hearts.
She did amazing.
Now head on backstage.
Robin: This is a hard one.
Two of the best that we've ever seen,
the queen of hearts or banana split.
Banana split, they're entertainers.
- They put on a good show. - They do both, yeah.
And then queen of hearts just tugs at your heartstrings.
- Robin: Right. - This is gonna be a battle.
All right, will queen of hearts have a golden mask trophy
to go along with her tiara?
Hold on for a second. Time out.
What? What? You're interrupting my throw to commercial.
Ken: Let me tell you this. He thinks he's so cool.
Every time we're in the back, all you do is brag about your t-shirt cannon.
We are sick of it. Poom, poom, poom, poom.
I'm tired of it 'cause I've got something better.
- Uh-oh. - Haters gonna hate.
- Nicole: Oh, my gosh. - Right here.
You've got the nick cannon cannon.
- This the ken jeong kennon. - Yeah!
Watch where you're pointing that thing.
- Yeah, yeah! Whoo, whoo! - Jenny: Come on--
confetti ken, baby.
Up next, a duet for the history books.
And later, one powerhouse mystery singer is sent home.
Who will it be?
It's a nail-biter to the very end.
That was pretty amazing, ken. We'll be right back.

I'm very excited to perform with banana split tonight.
They have been so much fun.
We've never had a musician

Robin thicke and banana split!
- Jenny: Wow! - So amazing.
Ken, talk to banana split, please.
First of all, another pitch perfect performance from banana split as usual.
But I forget, after six seasons of "the masked singer," we're all family.
And this is just a reminder every single day I go to work,
we're in the presence of greatness.
Jenny: Totally.
And he paid me to say that.
Okay, great.
Tackling stevie wonder and wrestling him to the ground
and doing the splits on him? Come on, people!
So good. Brilliant job. Thank you so much.
Nick: We love it.
Now, robin, I got a question for you.
What do you learn by performing with banana split?
You know, we've heard a lot of broadway,
we've heard a lot of classics, and like nicole said,
to tackle stevie wonder is to tackle the greatest soul singer of all time.
So I think that it really showed that she has unlimited range and colors.
Even though we're headed to finals,
- I think there's still more to see. - Ken: Absolutely.
I want to know, robin, you're such a pro.
But do you still get nervous to perform?
Robin: I did actually. You know what?
Here I am in front of my friends of six seasons.
- Aw. - Jenny: You were a rock star.
And I don't want to be the reason they don't make it to the finals,
so I tried my best.
Nick: Well, you don't worry about that,
because that was an amazing job.
All right, banana split, head on backstage.
Y'all keep it going for them.
Split: Well, my heart is still beating from that performance.
It was so fun to be up there with robin.
But now we've gotta get our sights set on the finale.
Yeah, we hear bull is, like, a real showman.
- Like, a real showman. - But trust us.
- No one puts on a show like banana... - Split.
Nick: Coming up, nicole's first ever
performance on this stage with queen of hearts.
That was a diva love session.
Yes, it was!
Then who will secure their spot in the finale?

Jenny: No way!
♪ who is that?
Hey, it's your old buddy hilary.
I'm just here to wish you the best of luck with all my heart.
Go get them, queen of hearts.
Welcome back to "the masked singer" group b finals.
Now it's queen of hearts' turn to blaze the stage with nicole.
Watch this.
I'm so grateful that I said yes to this experience,
and the fact that I said yes might surprise some people.
Because I've been known to turn down
some really big opportunities with big price tags,
but something about "the masked singer" just really made me want to do it.
Because I knew I'd be excited to play
and do things I've never done before.
I mean, I even sang in french.
( singing in french )
robin: That is, by far,
one of the best vocal performances
- in six seasons. - Jenny: Yes.
Queen of hearts: I don't like to brag about myself,
but I feel really good about what I'm doing here,
and it just taught me that I just got to keep pushing.
Only one performance stands between me taking on the bull in the grand finale.
And I'm nervous,
but at least I got nicole by my side.
I am so excited.
Heart is all about the emotions,
and every time she sings, I'm just moved.
Although rehearsing without being in the same room
has been the weirdest.
I always like to be prepared,
so doing a duet with someone I have not met
in front of millions of people?
It's way out of my comfort zone.
So I'm right where I wanna be.
Whoo! I'm so excited.

- Ever. - It's time for the audience,
panel, and super fans across america
to vote for their favorite of the night.
( music playing )
robin: Come on!
That's some season six lights, guys.
Nick: The loser will be forced to unmask,
and the winner will move on
to face bull in next week's season finale.
The votes are in.
- Oh, man. My heart. - The winner of group b...
Is...
Jenny: You guys are all amazing!
Two of the best ever.
Oh, man, this is too hard. They're too different.
Come on, nick! It's killing me!
Queen of hearts!
Robin: Whoo! Wow!
- Oh, this is so hard. - Crazy.
Congratulations.
Queen, you are headed to next week's finale.
- How are you feeling? - Whoo! Lord.
I'm just shaking. Thank you so much.
I really, really appreciate this.
This is so fun! I'm gonna come back.
Now how do you feel about taking on the bull?
Gosh, I guess we'll just have to see when we get there.
It's gonna be a tough match for that golden mask trophy,
but we believe she can get to it and do it, right?
Thank y'all.
Audience: Queen of hearts!
Now go ahead and head on back to the lair
and prepare for next week's finale.
Take care, queen! Men in black, help her out.
And while we're cheering,
let's give it up for banana split.
Yes!
- I don't like seeing them go home. - We love you.
Hey, why don't you do a recount? Let's rethink this, okay?
So, so sorry to see you go.
Some of the best characters
we've ever had on this show, right?
- Come on. - And even though we hate to see you go,
we are so glad we get to see who you are!
But before we get to that,
panel, you know what time it is.
Oh, man.
Men in black, bring out the first impression guesses.
Uh-oh.
Robin: Oh, this-- this is gonna be bad.
All right, let's start with robin.
Sure.
Your first impression.
"jennifer nettles and that other guy."
- right. - That was a nicole guess.
- I'm not sticking with the-- - nick: I was about to say,
going with "jennifer nettles and the other guy?"
no, although I love the other guy.
I'm gonna land on where I've been recently
which is ryan tedder,
and one of his frequent collaborators, leona lewis.
- Nicole: Nice. - Okay.
- Great guess. - All right.
Ken, your first impression guess,
katharine mcphee and david foster.
- Judges: Whoa. - Are you sticking with that guess?
Ken: I'm sticking with it, daddy.
All right.
Which takes us to jennifer mccarthy wahlberg,
- our clue expert. - Okay!
Your first impression guess happens to be
katharine mcphee and david foster.
- Ken: There you go. - Nicole: Okay.
- Whoo. - Are you sticking with that?
Of course it's them. They're amazing.
Hands down, no doubt,
this is david and kat.
All right, nicole your first impression guess
was david foster and katharine mcphee.
- Ken: Oh. - Are you sticking with it?
I'm sticking with it. The "garden" clue confirmed it all.
I really hope and pray it's david and kat.
It would just be an honor.
I mean, that's some season six talent right there, guys, okay?
Indeed, indeed.
Well, you made your final guesses, panel.
Let's see if any of you are right.
Yes! I wanna know who you are!
Audience, say it with me...
All: Take it off! Take it off!
Take it off! Take it off!

Can I help?

Nick: Singer, songwriter, and actress katharine mcphee
and 16 time grammy award-winning david foster.
- Jenny: Oh, my god! - Robin: No!
- Jenny: Yes, come on! - Ken: Yes!
- Oh, my god! Oh, my god! - No way!
We bow down. We are not worthy.
To have you guys on our stage is an honor.
What was it like being banana split?
You literally feel like you're a part of some weird circus act.
- Yeah. - I don't have the pleasure of knowing ken,
although I'm a huge fan.
But the other three I know,
and so it was kind of thrilling to try and fool them,
but we didn't really fool them.
Is that because we're a duo or what?
You guys guessed us right away. What the heck?
Well, ken noticed right off the bat
that you were conducting while you were playing piano.
And you're known for that. That's one of the--
right, but I'm actually a really ( bleep ) conductor, so...
- I really am. - I'm such a fan.
I was waiting for you to sing,
because I know you put records back in the day.
That's what I would've loved to see.
You could've flipped it on us!
No, there would be no reason for me to sing
with this incredible singer on stage with me.
None, none, zero.
Did you guys ever bicker like a normal couple?
You know what? No, we didn't.
We just decided to go into this,
just try to be as silly as we possibly could, right?
- Yeah. - We are not a conventional relationship.
There can be lots of quick judgments about me and him together.
And we just thought, wow, this is such
a cool opportunity to present ourselves.
We just truly love each other,
and it's best not to judge people, right?
- Yep, absolutely. - Absolutely.
- Aw, I love you, hon. - Nick: The real love.
Look, can I just say that all four of you did an amazing job.
And, ken, you and I will get to it before long.
- I'm gonna be a pop star! - Oh, my god!
- He's gonna make me... - You told ken you could turn him into a star.
Yes! He can do anything! He can make me a star!
I've been to karaoke with this man.
You know, I was just trying to win.
Oh. Got it. Got it.
Not the first time, won't be the last.
All right, well, next week it's finally here,
our big season finale...
- Yeah! - Yes, yes, yes!
...Where queen of hearts will face off with the bull
for the coveted golden mask trophy.
- Yes! - You cannot miss it,
but right now, give it up for the artists
formerly known as banana split,
katharine mcphee and david foster!
