Nick: They beat this season's superstar lineup.
Toni braxton!
Faith evans!
Katharine mcphee, david foster!
And now the wait is over.
Queen of hearts and bull
have one more chance to prove that they are...
Jenny: A season six "masked singer" winner!
Both masks will come off.
- ( cheering, screaming ) - no!
But only one will walk away
with the coveted golden mask trophy.
♪ who are you?
- Jenny: Whoa! - Robin: Yeah!
Ken: Wow!

♪ who, who, who, who

- Wow! - He's naked!
- Ken: Look at that! - Happy holidays, everyone!
It's that time of year again.
It's the "masked singer" finale!
- Yes! - Yeah!
- For the first time ever,
the winners of our two groups
will share the stage and face off in their quest
for the golden mask trophy.
- Oh, yeah. - Yeah!
From group a, we have the bull!
Ken: Wow.
Robin: ♪ yeah
nicole: Oh, my god. This is gonna be awesome.
- Ken: Yeah! - Nick: And from group b,
it's the queen of hearts!
- Ken: Whoo, yeah! - Jenny: Yes!
This is going to be a battle!
- Ken: This is gonna be amazing. - Nicole: Wow.
Now, tonight they will be
performing two songs, y'all.
- Wow. - Lucky us.
One of them will be a stripped down acoustic number,
and the other will be an all-out showstopper.
Y'all ready for that?
- Wow. - Yeah.
Now let's give it up for our panel of celebrity detectives.
It's santa's little helpers here to spread the holiday cheer.
- Thank you. - Thank you, guys.
- Nicole: Whoo! - Robin: Nick, by the way,
if you wrap ken into a ball, you can hang him on your tree.
That's very true. I'm very availa-bull, bull.
But honestly, this is a super bowl of masked singers,
and mc hammer himself is hosting it.
You can't touch this, baby!
Both: You can't touch this!
- Ken: Look at that! - You better typewriter, nick! You gotta typewriter.
All right, we gonna kick this thing off the right way.
Ken: Yes!
First up, we have the bull.
When I was younger, I always felt like I was playing a character.
Boys are supposed to play sports, and I tried.
Boys aren't supposed to let their emotions show, so I tried that too.
Aw, poor guy.
- Wow. - But secretly I always knew
I was someone else,
and when there's no role models like you,
it can make you feel a little invisible.
It took me a long time to find the people
who saw me for who I truly am,
and that changed everything.
Now my focus is to help others
who are looking for their place.
I appreciate the patience people have had with me.
I haven't always said the right things
or done things perfectly,
but I've always marched towards a better future for all.
- Yeah. - Way to go, man.
I promised myself to always be bold,
strong, and celebrate exactly who I am.
- Amen. That was beautiful. - So inspiring.
- Beautiful. - Right? - So inspiring.

Nicole: That's right!
- Merry christmas and happy holidays, everyone! - Yeah!
Because the holy spirit is in the house tonight after that performance!
Yeah, and that's how you do it on the final.
You took a song. We thought we knew where you were gonna go with it.
- Yeah. - You completely shocked and awed us.
- Amen! Amen! - Robin: Excellent job.
- Thank you. Thank you.
Nick, by the way, didn't niecy nash wear that last season?
- Nicole: Oh, my-- - jenny: Yes, yes!
- Seriously? - Who wore it better, me or niecy?
These two, I don't know what these two are on.
- All right, back to business. - Okay.
We're gonna go to our clue expert--
who's failing this season.
I didn't say it. You said it.
Who do you think the bull is?
The first time I ever saw bull
I was thinking this is a boy bander.
I was thinking brian littrell.
- Brian can sing. He could dance. - Ken: Yes, yes.
Don't worry. I figured that out,
because one of the clues was he's a solo performer,
and we did see the drama mask,
and we know he's very theatrical.
So I'm thinking someone like a tituss burgess.
- Ken: There you go. - Or a neil patrick harris.
Ken: I like that, because throughout the season,
it was peppered with scrubs and, like, medical, you know--
so it could be someone like neil patrick harris.
But then I was also thinking taye diggs
who was also in "private practice," who'd been on broadway.
- Taye diggs is a good guess. - Yeah, it's a good guess?
Sherlock scherzie is in the building, aka nic tracy.
- Uh-oh. Uh-oh. - And she said...
- She figured it out... - She's got the look.
- ...From day one. - Ken: Uh-oh.
Yeah, as soon as I saw him perform, nick,
I felt it in my nails, my hair,
my hips, and my heels, okay? I did.
- Ken: Wow. - But I was like, you know what?
I'm coming for that golden ear trophy. I'm keeping it.
I'm holding it close to my chest,
and, yeah, I think I know who this is.
Well, thanks for nothing, nicole. Thank you.
- Nicole: You're welcome, ken! - Well, it's definitely not thanks for nothing.
Thanks for one of the most amazing performances
we've seen on this stage!
- The bull! Great job! - Ken: Yes!
Nick: The panel have been fighting
to figure out the bull all season.
Are any of these guesses a bull's-eye?
We'll find out tonight.
- It is the sickest season. - Yep.
This is the first time we've had a battle down
with just two contestants in the finale,
jenny: And they're so different,
nicole: But, like, they're strong in their own lane.
- Ken: Right. - Coming up...
( vocalizing )
...The first head-to-head finale
in "masked singer" history continues...
♪ I'm invisible
...And it's the closest race ever.
What a way to end this show.
By the end of the night, both singers will unmask.
Only one takes home the trophy.
- The winner is... - Oh!
♪ who is that? Who is that?
Welcome back to finale night here on "the masked singer."
queen of hearts and the bull
aren't the only two locked in a bitter battle.
Our panel has been fighting it out
with their first impression guesses.
Now, robin got on the board with skunk.
- Yes. - But sherlock scherzie
is definitely living up to her name.
She's got two points, and ironically, so does ken.
What? He does?
But at least he hasn't allowed it to go to his head.
( orchestra playing )
what is...
Yo.
Crowd: Ken! Ken! Ken! Ken! Ken!
( disco music playing )
don't forget who the real queen is!
The og. That's right. I'm the og, baby.
- You are the og. Those are fire. - I'm the og.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
- Thanks, buddy. - Thank you. Thank you.
See what it feels like to be a winner?
- I'm getting there! - Can we get this show back on the road, please?
- Okay, fine, okay. - Sorry about that.
Could y'all go sit your asses down?
I kind of like it up here.
Okay, in just a moment,
queen of hearts will hit the stage
with a stripped back acoustic performance.
But first, here's some last clues to help you prepare
your final guesses.
Queen of hearts: When I was just a teenager,
I wrote a letter to my grandma.
It read...
But the truth?
I left my job because I had no choice,
and I had no place to live.
- It's a suitcase. - Travels. On the road a lot.
My car was stolen too.
People did love my music though,
all three of them that came to my show.
I didn't tell her that though
'cause I wanted to fight for the light
more than I wanted to focus on my bad circumstances.
- She's a fighter, though. - She is a fighter.
She don't give up. That's why she's here in the final.
I still have that letter today,
and I hope my grandma would be proud.
Sometimes, the single greatest act of defiance
is shining your light
no matter what the world tells you.

( chanting ) queen of hearts! Queen of hearts!
The queen of hearts.
Dr. Ken jeong, talk to the heart.
I mean, what an amazing way to end the season,
and you being in the finale.
Because all season long, you've made every song your own.
Your humanity just really connects to us all,
and you're a legend in all of our hearts.
Amazing job.
I believe one of the things that separates great artists
are artists that write love songs to humanity,
love songs to the everyday person
to keep us inspired and going on,
and that is what that song represents to me.
There it is. So I got to go back to the panel.
Nicole, who do you think it is?
Whoo, okay, so this is my little journey.
In the beginning, obviously you hear that real thick southern accent, right?
And then she was talking about her troubled past, so I was like, two words.
"free britney."
however, I'm not thinking it's britney anymore.
In this clue package, we saw the ruby slippers.
Jewel actually played dorothy in "the wizard of oz" concert.
And then we saw a briefcase,
and her son is actually named kase.
- Ah, that's right. - Nick: Jenny?
Well, you guys ready to go on a little trip with me?
- Yes! Yes! - Crowd: Yes.
It might start off crazy, but bear with me.
When we first saw queen of hearts,
we heard a little bit of, like, a rock and roll,
and with those amazing walking sticks, aka legs,
I was thinking could this be, like, a fergalicious?
But then, don't worry, I heard the southern accent,
and I was like, "okay, maybe this is, like, a country singer."
like a kellie pickler or carrie underwood
or faith hill, you know?
And I landed on kellie pickler
because the audience clapped that day.
Yes, kellie pickler, not a bad choice.
But I don't know. This is driving me crazy.
Well, if jenny's journey was a little crazy,
my journey's a little stupid.
The very first time we heard her,
there was a judy garland clue.
And there are oscar winners in the bunch,
so initially I was thinking it could be renée zellweger,
- who won an oscar for "judy." - yes.
But then when you're kind of synthesizing everything today,
someone who grew up poor and really had such a journey
and overcame all these obstacles,
it possibly could be miranda lambert.
- That's not stupid, ken. That's okay! - Oh, thank you.
Well, I am so excited
to see who you are later tonight. Ta-dow!
Nick: You guys got to give it up for another heartfelt performance.
Thank you so much, queen. Head on backstage.
We're loving this season's guesses
for queen of hearts,
but are they royally right or royally wrong?
We find out tonight.
Don't forget that "the masked singer" tour
is coming to a town near you next summer
with celebrity hosts,
plus a top secret celebrity reveal at every show.

Our final performance from the bull is next!
Don't go anywhere.
♪ who is that?
Welcome back to the perfect gift
for under your christmas tree.
It's "the masked singer" finale.
We're just two performances away from announcing our winner,
and the bull has been with us from the very beginning.
Before we hear his final unplugged performance,
let's watch how this masked matador
has mesmerized us all season long.
Not many people know this,
but before this "masked singer" experience,
I was in a place where I was starting to second guess
whether or not I should keep performing.
( vocalizing )
it felt like no matter how hard I worked,
I was always going to be limited because of who I am,
how I am, and what I stand for.
And sometimes you wake up and you're like,
"is there a point to keep moving forward?"
I was ready to walk away from it all.
- No way! - Oh, angel.
And then I got this call to put on a bull costume and play,
and I answered.
I said, "hello. Sign me up."
( laughs )
♪ what hurts the most
each round, I fell more and more in love with this experience,
but the best part was being in front of the world without judgment.
♪ what could have been, baby
being accepted behind the mask,
it felt like the way the world should be.
And becoming the group a winner
has reignited a flame inside of me
that's made me know without a shadow of doubt
that this is what I was born to do.
- For sure. - Oh, my goodness. That's an understatement.
My last performance is stripped down,
and I can hardly listen to this song without crying.

( chanting ) bull! Bull! Bull! Bull!
Invisi-bull! Wow.
He got us all standing on our feet, so emotional.
Nicole, I see the tears.
Ooh, that song struck a couple chords.
We've all felt maybe invisible sometimes, you know,
but what's so beautiful is when you have a gift like that,
you make people feel seen.
And because of that, we truly see you.
You are the new voice for "the masked singer," that's what I think,
and I am rooting for you to take home
"the masked singer" golden trophy.
Thank you.
Uh, that song was written by hunter hayes, who I love.
And, um--
- astronaut. - Yes.
And I felt like every single lyric spoke to me, and...
Take your time. Take your time.
Uh, I, um...
( sniffles )
crowd: Aww.
Sometimes you just feel like
there's nothing that you'll ever be able to do that's good enough.
I do this because I love this.
I've been doing it since I was eight years old,
and I'll never stop singing no matter what happens.
You know, what he talks about and feeling invisible,
growing up, I tried to fit in.
I tried to make friends everywhere I went,
and I found my home at the piano.
I found my home in music.
You take everything the world throws at you,
take all the places you don't belong,
and you put it out on that stage, you put it in your voice.
- Amen. - God bless you and thank you. - Yes, robin!
I can honestly say this show has changed my life,
and I feel more confident than I ever have inside this costume.
Indeed, indeed. Yet another amazing performance!
The bull. The perfect end to a perfect season.
Congrats. We'll see you in a bit for the vote.
Coming up, put this in your stocking.
It's our final performance from queen of hearts.
Stay tuned.

Here's a look at her incredible journey.
Queen of hearts: Being the group b winner feels so good.
I'm so excited to take this thing all the way to the finish.
You know, I didn't start singing so that I could be famous.
I started singing to save my life.
I sang because I needed it.

What a way to end this show with a bang!
You are a firework!
You have the voice of angel, the voice of a healer,
and if you ask me,
the voice of season six's "masked singer" winner!
I just have to say, this show has been kind of magical.
I've found that it touched things in my own life
from my history and bringing it in to today
that's been real special.
I just hope that I've been able
to be a spark of inspiration for anybody right now
that might be struggling in the darkness.

Spoken like a true queen.
Truly a spark and a firework.
Great job, queen of hearts.

We are so excited for you. Congratulations.
Please make your way to the winner's circle.
Ladies and gentlemen, let's keep it going for the bull.
- Whoo! - Oh, yeah.
- He's an amazing runner up. - We love you! We love you!
First of all, any season, you could've been a winner, you would've been a finalist.
You are that talented.
Please never stop doing what you love
because that gift that you have
is meant to be shared with the world.
- Jenny: Totally. - Ken: Absolutely.
Well said, robin.
But now we get to finally see who the bull is.
But before we do the big reveal, panel,
we must retrieve your first impression guesses for the bull.
Men in black, bring them out.
Remember, panel, if your first impression guess is correct,
you get a point towards the golden ear trophy.
Ken and nicole each have two points,
and robin and jenny each have one.
- Nice. - All right?
- So it's still anybody's game. - Whoo!
Robin, your first impression for the bull--
- lil uzi vert. - Jenny: Oh, my god.
- The bull is dying. - Nicole: Whoo!
But this definitely is not lil uzi vert.
- Next season. Next season. - Yeah. So who is this?
Well, he has physical gymnastics, vocal gymnastics,
and that's a very small category of talents.
Right.
So I'm gonna go back to my first guess.
I'm thinking maybe that's sisqó.
- Nicole: Yes! - Ken: Good guess.
All right. That's a great guess.
Dr. Ken, your first impression guess was ne-yo.
- Oh. - Not bad. Not bad.
Nick: Are you sticking with that?
No, he's just wearing his jacket.
Nick: Ah!
To me, only one person can pull off these moves,
be a triple threat, and sing like that.
I honestly think you are taye diggs.
Nicole: Oh, okay.
Nick: Pretty good. All right, well, jenny,
your first impression for the bull,
brian littrell.
- Ken: Oh. - Robin: Okay.
Jenny: You know, I don't think it's him.
This could possibly be, like, a former broadway star.
- Oh. - Adam lambert kind of goes along with that.
Great voice. I think this could be adam lambert.
- Okay, that's a good one. Adam lambert. - Jenny: Thank you.
That's pretty good.
Now nicole believes that this is todrick hall.
- Robin: Ah. - Jenny: Yes.
I fo' sho' am sticking with it.
I've been keeping that guess under the pillow.
There's no one more talented.
So I believe this is my bae, my brother,
my show-off partner in crime, todrick hall.
- I think nicole's en fuego. - It would be amazing.
So, all right, panel, you've made your final guesses.
Let's see if any of you are correct.
Bull, we need to know who you are.
- Yes! - Audience, say it with me...

- My baby! That's my bae. - Todrick!
- Oh, yeah! - Whoo!
- Robin: Wow. - Ken: Wow.
- My baby. - Jenny: Unbelievable.
- Nicole, how long did it take for you to know? - Talk to her.
Like, how many eight counts was I performing before your knew it was me?
I knew right away.
First of all, me and todrick, that's, like,
one of my best friends up here, y'all.
And I'm just so proud that the world gets to see you,
who you truly are. I mean, you're an original.
And you're leaving a legacy, and I'm so grateful
that "masked singer" gets to be a part of that legacy.
- Thank you. - Indeed.
Todrick: Thank you so much.
I do have to ask you, todrick, because you talked about not fitting in.
Can you talk a little bit more about that?
I would just say that we grow up
and we believe in ourselves so much as little kids.
And then somewhere along the line,
the world starts to pick apart at you,
and they start to make you realize the things about you that are different.
So I think that being inside this costume gave me courage.
And I've faced a lot of fears on this show,
but it always so fun and so worth it to get up here
and get your awesome, amazing critiques every week.
- God, you're amazing. - Nick: There it is.
And to sing one last time, unmasked once and for all,
the artist formerly known as the bull.
- Yes! - The amazing todrick hall!

Welcome back to "the masked singer" finale.
Just moments ago, we found out queen of hearts
- has joined past golden mask winners... - Whoo!
...T-pain, wayne brady, kandi burruss,
leann rimes, and nick lachey.
- Whoo! - But whose famous face
is behind the mask of our champion?
Let's retrieve the panel's first impression guesses from the vault.
Men in black, bring them out.
- Oh, no. - No!
Now this is gonna be between ken and nicole.
Since nicole guessed bull correctly,
she now leads ken by one.
But ken could still tie for the golden ear trophy.
Oh, I'm gonna win. I can't believe it.
Before we get to the final two who could win this trophy,
let's go ahead and get these other guys out of the way.
Jenny, your first impression guess was fergie.
- But that's a good guess. - Are you sticking with fergie?
No. I'm gonna guess an artist that I absolutely love.
She was all about early struggle in her life,
famously lived out of her car.
And that beautiful, angelic voice is jewel.
- Whoo! - Nicole: Yes.
You sound quite confident. Robin, idina menzel.
- Ooh. - Are you sticking with that?
No. It's not my first impression guess,
so I don't get any credit for this,
but it's hard to hear anybody else but jewel behind that beautiful heart.
- All right. - Ken: Good guess. Good guess.
And now a person who possibly could win the golden ear trophy if he is correct.
- Uh-oh. - Oh, god.
I want to thank the masked singer academy.
I would like to thank everybody.
And most of all, I would like to thank myself,
because without me, none of this would be possible.
Go on, nick.
Ken, your first impression guess...
Mm-hmm.
Renée zellweger.
Ken: Oh!
Nick: Are you sticking with it?
Ken: I am honestly thinking this could be an oscar winner.
And being a power vocalist, I--
I got to win that golden ear, jenny.
- It's not gonna happen. - It's not gonna happen.
It will happen. My life coach told me.
So I'm sticking with it, daddy. Boom!
- Put it down. - Oh, no. No.
All right, well, now to our potential golden ear trophy winner,
- sherlock scherzie. - Oh, man.
- Your first impression guess of queen of hearts... - You've got this, girl.
...Was carrie underwood.
- Nicole: That's right. - Jenny: Oh, yeah.
- Not bad. - But I'm not sticking with it.
The rawness in her performances, the authenticity,
but most important, this queen can yodel.
This is jewel, you all!
- Ken: Good guess. - Jenny: Yes.
All right. Panel, you've made your final guesses.
Queen of hearts, it's time to show your famous face.
- Yes! - Audience, say it with me.

Nick: Multi-platinum superstar,
singer, songwriter jewel!
Ken: No!
Amazing.
- Jenny: Yes, jewel! - Wow!
- Hi, guys! - What a vision!
- Whoo! - Such an honor,
such a pleasure to have you here!
- Yes! - Oh, my god.
- Hi, guys! - Love you, jewel!
Nick: So how does it feel to win the golden mask trophy?
Aww, it is just an honor.
It really is an honor to be in the hall of costumes
and with the other amazing winners.
And everybody was so talented on this show.
Yes. Here, here.
- Amen. Amen. - Here, here.
And it's just the privilege of a lifetime
to get to be yourself.
This show oddly really gets at your essence,
and I find that really special about this show.
- Wow. - Oh, my gosh, jewel, yes.
And it really reminded me
of, you know, before I was famous, singing in a coffee shop,
and to be able to just have people react to your voice
not knowing anything else was really touching.
I'm not a cool person, I never have been,
but I have a lot of heart, and that's why I wanted to be the heart.
- Aww. - And to be able to win on that meant the world to me.
So thank you, guys. I really appreciate it.
- Well, congratulations again. - Thank you, baby.
- Well deserved. - Thank you!
And while we're saying congratulations,
nicole, with three correct first impression guesses...
- What? - You're the new winner
of our golden ear trophy.
- Yeah! Nicole! - Jenny: Nicole!
I feel like halle berry
when she won the oscar for "monster's ball."
this moment is so much bigger than me.
Next week, ring in the holiday
with our "masked singer" sing-along special...
Whoo!
...With brand new performances from your favorites.
But right now, give it up
for the artist formerly known as queen of hearts.
The incredible jewel!
