The Masked Singer (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - All Together Now - full transcript
Can you recognize
your favorite celebrity
just by their voice?
You're about to find out.
This is
The Masked Singer.
♪ Who is that ♪

Each week,
celebrities

- ‐Who is it?

‐Oh, my God!
And you

‐Paris Hilton.
‐Meghan Markle.
It could be Donnie Wahlberg.
You would know if this was
your husband, wouldn't‐‐
He hasn't answered the phone
every time Rabbit's
been onstage.
Last week, Raven
had to take it off.
Who is it?
Ricki Lake!
Ricki!
Tonight,
the six remaining celebrities
fight for their place
in the semifinal.
And comedian J. B. Smoove
joins the panel.
This is the snazziest
prom couple
I've ever seen in my life.
Who will live
to sing again?
You are a born,
natural performer.
And who will
be unmasked
before your eyes?
- ‐Oh, my God!
- This might be
the freakiest set
I've ever been on.
Please welcome
your host, Nick Cannon!
♪ Who, who ♪
♪ Who, who ♪
♪ Oh, tell me who are you ♪
♪ Who are you ♪
♪ Who are you ♪
I'm Nick Cannon,
and these are our final six
masked singers.
Now, between them,
these six stars
have 54 Grammy nominations,
41 gold records,
have made 49 films,
and starred
in eight Broadway shows,
but that doesn't change
this fact:
one of their famous faces
will be unmasked tonight.
And as always,
we depend
on the wit and wisdom
of our lead detectives.
Let's hear it
for our celebrity sleuths.
Make some noise
for Robin Thicke,
Jenny McCarthy,
Ken Jeong,
Nicole Scherzinger,
and I cannot curb
my enthusiasm
about our special
guest panelist tonight,
my close friend, my buddy,
the always hilarious
J. B. Smoove.
All right, now, J. B.,
our panel so far
is batting about .500
guessing who these singers are,
and that's being
pretty generous, all right?
That's why we had
to bring you in, my brother.
So we‐‐we glad
you're here with us tonight.
Good to be here, Nick.
First up tonight,
our most mysterious
masked singer of all.
Is he a comedian,
is he a rapper,
is he a athlete,
or does he owe me money?
Pay attention,
because the clues
are coming in,
and they're coming in fast
about the Monster.
Being here
has given me a chance
to share my true voice
with the world.
Every week, he impresses me
even more.
I've discovered
a vulnerable side
that I never knew I had.
When I was just
a little monster,
growing up down south...
‐Down south?
‐Lil Pump.
I had to stay inside
because it was
too dangerous out.
Eventually, I discovered
I had a gift.
Pretty soon, I was living
the good life.
I was even winning awards.
But out of nowhere,
people started saying
I wasn't the real deal.
It took me a long time
to realize
I couldn't let them make me
a bad boy for life.
- ‐Was he a rapper?
- ‐ P. Diddy?
So I came out
from under the bed
and decided to step back
into the ring.
Okay, who's a boxer?
Like Sugar Ray Leonard...
My shot
at the semifinals
is all teed up,
so tonight,
I'm coming out swinging.
That's a golf reference again.
And I hope
the little monster in me
will be proud.

Wow.
Monster!
That's how you lead off
a show.
He loves rock 'n' roll,
and we love the Monster!
Whoo!
J.B., as the newbie here,
don't you think
the Monster rocked it?
‐Oh, my God. I'ma tell you‐‐
‐You gotta stand up for that?
- ‐Oh, always stand up.
- Okay.
Okay.
I don't know what the hell
is going on around here,
but this is incredible.
This Monster
is a fabulous performer.
He got one eye...
‐And has two teeth.
‐And those two teeth‐‐
those two baby shoes
in your mouth
Let me tell you
something, man.
I'm blowing‐‐
I'm blown away.
Monster
you've just been stepping it up
week after week.
You have all them runs
and them ad‐libs.
You took a rock song.
You did your own thing on it.
I don't know
who you are,
but that
was a great performance.
You're absolutely
one of my favorites.
Mr. Robin Thicke.
He's been my favorite, uh,
for the last few episodes.
You make me smile
from ear to ear,
and your performances
are unpredictable.
You don't do the same type
of music every week,
which is why
I still believe
that you are definitely
a professional singer,
which is why I think
I‐‐I should be able
to recognize it,
but I just can't.
- ‐This is a hard one.
- Looking at the clues,
in the past,
he had a boom box,
‐in the first package.
‐That's right.
‐Oh.
‐Um, he had
a money gun,
like he was a baller.
Making it rain?
It did say that he‐‐he couldn't
always be a bad boy for life.
Could be a rapper.
Lil Jon?
Rapper or a boxer,
because when we say "swing,"
we've always brought up
baseball, tennis,
but I think it might
be swing as in, like,
‐a boxer.
‐I don't know any boxers
who, like, releases albums,
you know?
I just‐‐
I do.
Roy Jones, Jr.,
in case you forgot.
No, d‐‐
no, I don't think so.
Oh, I know who it is!
‐I know who it is!
‐Who is it, J. B.?
It's Mike Tyson.
It's not Mi‐‐
you really think
this sounds like Mike Tyson
singing Joan Jett?
That'd be amazing,
if this was Mike Tyson.
- ‐My bad.
- I don't know
why everyone
thinks it's an athlete.
I mean, look how
amazing a singer
and a dancer and charisma‐‐
I mean, it still
could be a comic.
Then‐‐Ken and I have been
going back and forth
that maybe
it's Tommy Davidson or somebody
- ‐from In Living Color...
- Yes!
Because the Monster's
been, uh,
probably the funniest character
we've had on
the show the whole time.
What do you think?
In Living Color?
I'ma tell you something.
Those are the feet
of a black man,
I can tell you right now,
and I know‐‐
I know Tommy Davidson's feet.
He has the feet
of a 12‐year‐old,
and those are size 5 1/2.
‐
‐Could be.
It sounds like you guys
need another clue.
Monster,
can you give us
a moment of truth?
I was not
on In Living Color,
and my shoe size
- ‐is 12.
- He's not Tommy Davidson.
Now we know
it's not Tommy Davidson.
So that helped.
See? That helped.
‐All right.
We're getting off
to a good start
today, guys.
Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for the Monster!
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
Who do you think it is?
♪ ♪
There's no boxer that can sing.
No boxer I know has ever‐‐
I've never said, "Hey,
hey, I want to download
that Holyfield song."
"Hey...
‐That Holyfield song.
"Did you hear that, uh,
Buster Douglas is opening up
for Childish Gambino?"
Just so stupid.
The panel is way off
by miles,
and I love it.
I remain a favorite.
I'm gonna be the last mask
standing, trust me.
ANNOUNCER: Coming up:
‐I'm very confused.
The battle
for the semifinals heats up.
You would know if this
was your husband, wouldn't you?
He hasn't answered the phone
every time Rabbit's
been on stage.

ANNOUNCER: And later,
one of these characters
will be unmasked
and sent packing.
‐ Oh, my God!
‐No way!

Welcome back
to The Masked Singer.
Now, let's look
at the latest video
by a great lady herself,
the Lion.
Now, to get you up to speed,
this Lion
we think is a superstar singer.
Down in the cabaret bars
of old Chicago...
Cabaret...
Who was in Chicago?
Catherine Zeta‐Jones,
Renée Zellweger...
I hear whispers
and gossip
as people seek me out,
but I like that they still
can't say my name.
"Say My Name."
Another Destiny's Child.
Here in Hollywood,
you can lose yourself
in a famous family.

the bluegrass state
I've known.

Sisters...
Sisters.
Came from a group of girls.
I know I can't get
too comfortable
in the competition.
It's scary.
Scary.
So is that, like,
Scary Spice from

But with true grit,
and a diamond heart,
I'll separate from the pack
and build my own empire.

Lion!
Panel, what did you think
about the performance?
She always delivers,
every single week.
You are a true star.
Amazing voice.
‐Man, you got‐‐
‐Oh, J. B.'s standing up again!
You are a golden piece
of gaudy jewelry.
Understand?
If I was a rapper,
I would wear you
around my damn neck.
I don't know who the hell
you are,
but God dang it, I'm impressed.
What I love about you, Lion,
is you have this great,
soulful country tone.
You have made
a reference to bluegrass.
I grew up in Kentucky,
so I don't know if you come
from Kentucky or the South,
but I hear it in your tone.
Nicole, maybe you're
onto something.
That's very smart.
Thanks, guys.
I'm‐‐I'm sick of this.
You know what?
J.B.'s standing.
I don't know too many
country artists
who changed their style
and went and did pop or rap.
I think right now,
we're going
in the wrong direction,
and believe me, I have solved
a lot of mysteries in my time.
Who shot Ray Ray.
Uh...
Look at her!
You're gonna kill the Lion!
She is cracking up
over here.
I still think she was part
of a girl group.
Are we sure
that she was in a girl group?
She said "separate herself
from the pack."
‐Oh, okay.
‐That's what she said.
Yeah Mel B, maybe,
or Destiny's Child.
Come on.
Yeah, there was
a "Say My Name" reference,
but, um, does anyone know
if you saw the newspaper
in her new clue package
and it said
"Gold found in Hailey."
I don't know where Hailey is.
Is that in‐‐
is that a city in the‐‐
Oh, Hailee Steinfeld,
and she said True Grit.
‐Oh!
‐That's awesome, Nicole.
All good guesses,
but now it's time to get
a hint or few.
Lion,
it's time for the moment
of truth.
I have a subscription
to a monthly
murder mystery game.
‐Who doesn't?
‐Subscrip‐‐
Subscription to a monthly
murder mystery game?
‐Uh‐huh.
‐Angela Lansbury?
Nailed it.
Show's over.
Mr. Smoove,
go ahead and make some sense
out of all of this, sir.
I'ma put a bow on this.
This is the snazziest
prom couple I've ever seen
in my life.
Aww.
The Lion!
Y'all make some noise
for her!
Thank you, Lion,
for that amazing performance.

the vote tonight

You got the crowd

The Alien.
‐Man, look at this, man.
‐And he's standing up again.

‐This is fabulous.
This might be the freakiest set
I've ever been on.
Let me tell you something.
I've been to a lot of shows,
concerts, all around the world,
but you,
take me to your leader.
Nicole.
First of all, that was
an awesome performance,
Alien,
'cause I feel every week,
you're stepping up your game
and you're doing your thing.
I feel like you have
some type of a recording voice.
Thank you.
All right.
To keep us all guessing,
Alien, can you give us
a moment of truth?
I have been on
The New York Times
best‐seller list twice.
‐
‐Oh.
What kind of books
do you think she wrote?
Uh, just, you know,
books about aliens
‐and space and‐‐
JENNY: Or law.
But this is the trickiest one,
to me. I really don't know.
Okay, so let's go
through what we know.
Uh, she fell off a runway,
‐so a model, possibly.
‐Yeah.
She brought out a badge,
where she protects.
Maybe she's‐‐
guards her family‐‐
very protective of her family,
because her family
is famous.
There were also
some references to
The Simple Life,
"that's hot"
- ‐and some of that stuff.
- Right.
I still think Nicole Richie.
Possible,
or Sofia Richie.
- ‐That's a good one.
- There's that
reference to the snake.
Remember, that snake
keeps coming through?
La Toya Jackson
had a pet snake,
and she loves snakes.
‐Possibly.
‐Or a cold‐hearted snake...
So Paula Abdul?
That's right, we did
make reference
that it was Paula.
She's tiny, like Paula.
But does she have
two best‐sellers?
Tell you who it's not.
‐
‐Who is it not?
It's not Paula Abdul.
Why do you think‐‐
‐Why?
Everybody knows Paula Abdul
is a pure dancer.
A pure dancer
has thicker legs,
and they love
to dance around.
You gotta shoot
a tranquilizer in their neck
to make them stop dancing.
They love to dance.
She's dancing on the show,
though, J. B.
All I'm saying is,
I've seen Paula Abdul
get whiplash one night
on stage.
I don't know,
but one thing we do know:
Alien gave us
a great performance tonight.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you so much, Alien.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask,
and if Alien loses
tonight's vote,
we'll find out
if they're right.
Hey, guys.
Think about Carmen Electra.
- ‐ Carmen... Right.
- That's right.
I think we forgot about her.
When people forget about you,
you feel like a damn alien.
Okay?
‐Am I right or wrong?
‐Yeah.
Now, let's keep our eyes peeled
for any clues
about a singer
with a voice like honey:
the Bee.
So far on the show,
I've been singing
hits from today's music.
I just got all choked up,
to be honest.
I wasn't expecting that.
You hit my heart.
But now that
the competition
is getting tougher,
I'm going back
to what I know best.
I love the men in the pool.
A few of us queen bees
got our groove on back then.
This bee's a legendary singer.
That's the clue.
So which one am I?
Am I bringing
a new attitude...
Is that Patti LaBelle,
who sang "New Attitude"?
- ‐Yep.
- Am I a super woman?
‐Gladys Knight?
‐Yeah.
So they're throwing out a bunch
of different song titles.
Right?
And I prove
that we don't
need another hero.
That's Tina Turner.
Am I giving you
the best that I got?
I think that's Anita Baker,
right?
Or do I buzz around
a different beehive?
I'll let you figure that out
while I sing a sexy song
from a very close friend.
We've been thrown
so many times with the Bee.
I'm very confused.

You guys had to be feeling that

‐Oh, yeah.

Unbelievable.
Queen Bee, it was
so commanding
and so powerful,
but you do it with such grace
and such ease.
We don't have people
doing it like that these days.
Thank you so much.
‐Yeah.
There are
very few singers
who could beat Ms. Tina Turner,
and you're obviously
a living legend,
and we're honored to have you
on the show.
All right, detectives.
From everything
that we've seen,
what have you learned
about the Bee?
I've been, uh, stuck
on Gladys Knight
for a while.
I think I recognize
the voice,
but then today,
we heard all these song titles.
"We Don't need
Another Hero."
‐That's a Tina Turner song.
‐"New Attitude."
Patti LaBelle.
We might be getting
all these other names
just to throw us off, but‐‐
Exactly.
Not throwing me.
I'm‐‐
I'm ignoring all that stuff.
I'm gonna‐‐I'm watching‐‐
hey.
Okay, you don't have

- Okay.
- And just for

and let my wife know
that they make this costume
in‐‐in her size‐‐
is there a stinger
on the back of that bad boy?
Are these all roleplay ideas
for you and your wife?
- ‐Yes, they are.
- Is this all roleplay?
Of course they are, okay?
No one be on
a freak‐ass show like this
and not get ideas.
Let me just say this.
I‐‐I was thinking,
first of all,
that the baking
was a clue for her name,
- ‐like Anita Baker.
- Yeah.
Was trying to throw us.
Well, "Giving You the Best
That I Got"
was also another
Anita Baker song.
That's not Anita Baker's voice,
though.
But to your point, Robin, what
if she can disguise her voice?
What if that's why Anita Baker
would be on the show,
to show that she doesn't have
to sing like Anita Baker?
‐That's true. That's true.
‐I'm very confused.
Well, it sounds like
we need some more clues, right?
- ‐Yep.
- Ms. Bee,
can you give us
a moment of truth?
Queen Bee,
I want to know,
have you ever won
a Grammy before?
Actually, I have ten.
- Oh!
- What?
So she is a legend.
I'm dying to know who it is.
One thing we definitely
do know:
another amazing performance
by the Bee.
Keep it going

He's gonna twitch.
Watch this.
He's gonna twitch.
Look at that.
Rabbit!
‐Hop on down here!
Rabbit! Rabbit!
Rabbit!
Gang, what did you guys think
about the Rabbit's performance?
I loved it.
I mean, everybody else
has been kind of following
the script
of the original song.
To see you really
make it your own‐‐
we realize you love soul music,
but you also love
country and rock,
and I thought it was just
a great amalgamation
of all that.
Amalgamation!
That's a big one on Scrabble.
Big one.
I'm gonna take over from here,
um, as J. B. would like to say.
Um...
‐
That's cute.
Like your style, girl.
I never thought I would buy
tickets to
a psychotic bunny concert,
but I might just do it now.
That was a great
J. B. impression.
Nice.
Dr. Smoove.
‐Obviously, you had‐‐
‐He stayed seated.
Oh.
Obviously...
I am absolutely blown away
by this rabbit.
The only place
you're gonna see this is
at some futuristic strip club
or on this amazing show
you have here, Nick Cannon.
Fabulous.
All right, truth time.
Rabbit, you gotta hook us up
with a clue.
Can you give us
a moment of truth?
I have 17 tattoos
on my body.
17 tattoos?
Doesn't surprise me.
He's taken on this role
of psychotic bunny.
Does that help you?
- ‐None of this does.
- Exactly.
I felt like I caught on
to something tonight.
As soon as I heard
your tone,
I felt like it was JC
from NSYNC.
- You could be right.
- I mean‐‐
Let me go through the clues.
He said he was in a band,
not necessarily
the lead singer.
He likes to cook,
or has a restaurant,
uh, much like NKOTB,
Donnie Wahlberg, but, um...
You would know if this
was your husband, wouldn't you?
He hasn't answered the phone
every time
Rabbit's been onstage.
‐That is true.
‐So this could be your husband.
It could be,
and I literally just
wrote down Donnie,
because‐‐
That might
be kind of amazing.
Ken's sister
was on the show.
Let's not bring that up.
But he's also
from Florida, right?
Didn't he
say the sunshine state?
- ‐Yeah.
- Okay, so he could
also be Joey Fatone,
who has a hot dog restaurant.
I've thought it was Joey
from the body language
- ‐from the very beginning.
- Billy‐‐
Billy Ray Cyrus.
There was
a achy breaky‐‐
NICOLE: "Achy Breaky Heart."
‐Yeah.
‐Miley's daddy? Maybe.
- I
- don't think Miley's daddy
can move like this anymore.
He gonna achy break something.
That was a good one, Nick.
It wasn't a good one!
Come on, not‐Steve Harvey!
Come on.
Yo, clearly, we have lost
control...
I know.
‐But this performance
was out of control.
Keep it going...
- ‐Rabbit!
- For the Rabbit.
Our panel
thought Rabbit might be
one of these celebrities
If he gets
the least votes tonight,
we'll find out
if they're right.
I keep thinking he's Joey.
But Joey's heavy.
Joey's heavier.
- ‐He's thick.
- Joey, out of
all the boys,
is the most playful.
I feel like it's Joey.
Now, I know I took a big risk
with that song choice,
but I hope my vocal chops
impressed everyone enough
to keep me here.
I really
want that trophy
in my house.

We're back.
Tonight,
six will become five,
and that means the singer
with the weakest performance
will reveal
their secret identity
and leave the lair,
but first,
it's hard to be cocky
on this show,
but our final performer
has earned that right.
It's the Peacock.
I've been getting
fan mail
since I was a
wee little peachick.
After all,
I started my career
as a show biz prodigy,
and it's led me down many
different magical paths.
‐Magic again.
‐Is he a magician?
I've performed
on stages and screens
and I've hosted award shows.
From hosting award shows.
Neil Patrick Harris, maybe?
And I've
accumulated fans
all over the world,
including knights,
kings, and queens.
Ah, maybe British?
He had Queen Elizabeth.
Elton John?
But
the crazy thing is
those fans don't even know
I'm here.
I am one performance away
from the semifinal,
and I am more determined
than ever
to outshine
the rest of the singers.
Remember this.
Peacock is very cocky also.
That's Neil Patrick Harris.
I want this so
bad, I can't feel my face.

you've come out, I know
that you were a prodigy.
You were born to be
an entertainer.
You rocked it tonight.
Rocked it.
Thank you.
I'm saying he got
the little peacock strut.
You always find a way to make
us laugh and make us smile.
When you do a smoother song,
it doesn't lend
to your over‐the‐top ability
that‐‐where you're at
your most comfortable,
but he always puts on
a great physical performance.
Hey, I am blown away.
Peacock...
Let me take a nap...
Yo, Peacock, look.
Nick, Nick,
I know
this whole thing is a cult.
I know already.
Wait, wait, you're s‐‐
this is not a cult.
Peacock, your style,
your movements,
your mannerisms
are fabulous,
and it's obvious
you have a background
that should be in Vegas
somewhere.
‐ Thank you.
‐ You need a residency
‐in Vegas somewhere.
‐Actually, that's
the smartest thing
you've ever said.
He's been part of a magic act
at some point.
Also, we saw
a rainbow flag,
or a shirt.
That's been kind of prevalent.
It was a rainbow flag.
That's the Neil Patrick Harris
connection
that I keep talking about.
I could be completely wrong.
I really think
you're completely wrong.
I don't think it's NPH.
It's not Neil.
I don't think it's Neil either.
Wait a minute!
Wayne Brady!
He's hosted shows.
He's hosted shows.
Think this is Wayne Brady?
Wayne Brady's voice
is pretty recognizable.
I don't think that's Wayne.
Okay, child prodigy
Donny Osmond?
He's got an older voice.
No offense, Peacock.
I don't mean that old.
I mean, I'm‐‐like,
as old as me.
- ‐More seasoned.
- Yeah.
This is a hard one.
Just take off
your peacock mask!
- Take it off!
- No, no, no.
Okay, well, Mr. Peacock,
it's time for you to give us
a moment of truth.
My face
has been tattooed
on a person's body.
Look, I'm not trying to brag
or talk about myself,
but Mr. Chow has been,
like, tattooed on‐‐
on people's bodies
I don't think
that's that big a deal.
We are, as usual, stumped.
I'm sorry.
I can't figure it out.
Well, one thing we weren't
stumped about
was this
amazing performance.
The Peacock set it off
once again
fully swagged out.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask.
Who do you think it is?
We've now seen all of
our final six masked singers.
The time has come for our
studio audience and panel
to vote now for their favorite
all‐around performer.
The celebrity
with the least votes
will be unmasked and sent home

The Alien.

The rest of you,
head back to the lair.
Thank you all.
Alien!
But panel, who on Earth
do you think this really is?
Go ahead, Jenny.
I'm going to go
with Sofia Richie.
- Sofia Richie?
- Yes.
Interesting.
You went from Nicole
to Sofia.
Yeah, you know,
The Simple Life
and that talk
kind of gave me clues
along with
"come from a famous family,"
but Sofia‐‐
I remember there was
a connection with the snake.
Definitely a similar shade.
You might be right.
Nicole, what do you think?
I believe it's La Toya Jackson.
She said
in the beginning
her family was looked at
for being weird, okay?
Then, the other week,
I heard that sweet
Jackson‐type tone
in her voice.
- ‐Yep.
- Okay, and the badge
was from Indiana.
I felt like
that's kind of
what gave it away to me,
so‐‐and La Toya
had a pet snake,
and so...
I've not gotten one right,
and I'm putting it all down
on La Toya Jackson, guys.
Ken.
Uh, I‐‐I think
it's Paula Abdul, and‐‐
Man.
There's a grace
in how she sings
and how she moves.
I mean, I
think this is the great
Paula Abdul.
You could be right,
but you're wrong.
Okay, all right.
All right.
She is loaded
with sexiness.
That's why I think it might be
Carmen Electra.
Nice guess.
Carmen Electra.
For throwing out there.
Can she sing?
Does she even sing?
Yes, she does.
‐Of course she does.
‐Come on, man.
‐Robin.
Well, I‐I've been stuck
on the La Toya Jackson thing.
I agree with‐‐with Nicole.
I thought it was
La Toya for a while,
from the, uh, body language
to the type of voice,
but I'll just back you up.
I'll ride the cart
right behind you, Nicole.
Okay, ride in the car
behind me.
All right.
Well, you guys ready
to figure it out?
- Yes!
- You've made
the final guesses.
Now let's see
if any of you were right.
We all need
to know now!

every week, he was saying
you could be
one of the Hadid sisters.
He was saying
you were a supermodel.
I‐‐I really have
to truly be honest
with all of you that, um,
the reason I did this
actually is because
people have a tendency
to prejudge you
and the way you sing,
and the things,
and they compare you
to other people
in your family,
and I just want to do it
and see how far I'd go.
Now, are there
any other big clues
that we may have missed?
Like, the snake...
Do you own a snake?
I used to.
I used to have two,
Adam and Eve.

masked singers.
Now, between them,
these six stars
have 54 Grammy nominations,
41 gold records,
have made 49 films,
and starred
in eight Broadway shows,
but that doesn't change
this fact:
one of their famous faces
will be unmasked tonight.
And as always,
we depend
on the wit and wisdom
of our lead detectives.
Let's hear it
for our celebrity sleuths.
Make some noise
for Robin Thicke,
Jenny McCarthy,
Ken Jeong,
Nicole Scherzinger,
and I cannot curb
my enthusiasm
about our special
guest panelist tonight,
my close friend, my buddy,
the always hilarious
J. B. Smoove.
All right, now, J. B.,
our panel so far
is batting about .500
guessing who these singers are,
and that's being
pretty generous, all right?
That's why we had
to bring you in, my brother.
So we‐‐we glad
you're here with us tonight.
Good to be here, Nick.
First up tonight,
our most mysterious
masked singer of all.
Is he a comedian,
is he a rapper,
is he a athlete,
or does he owe me money?
Pay attention,
because the clues
are coming in,
and they're coming in fast
about the Monster.
Being here
has given me a chance
to share my true voice
with the world.
Every week, he impresses me
even more.
I've discovered
a vulnerable side
that I never knew I had.
When I was just
a little monster,
growing up down south...
‐Down south?
‐Lil Pump.
I had to stay inside
because it was
too dangerous out.
Eventually, I discovered
I had a gift.
Pretty soon, I was living
the good life.
I was even winning awards.
But out of nowhere,
people started saying
I wasn't the real deal.
It took me a long time
to realize
I couldn't let them make me
a bad boy for life.
- ‐Was he a rapper?
- ‐ P. Diddy?
So I came out
from under the bed
and decided to step back
into the ring.
Okay, who's a boxer?
Like Sugar Ray Leonard...
My shot
at the semifinals
is all teed up,
so tonight,
I'm coming out swinging.
That's a golf reference again.
And I hope
the little monster in me
will be proud.

something, man.
I'm blowing‐‐
I'm blown away.
Monster
you've just been stepping it up
week after week.
You have all them runs
and them ad‐libs.
You took a rock song.
You did your own thing on it.
I don't know
who you are,
but that
was a great performance.
You're absolutely
one of my favorites.
Mr. Robin Thicke.
He's been my favorite, uh,
for the last few episodes.
You make me smile
from ear to ear,
and your performances
are unpredictable.
You don't do the same type
of music every week,
which is why
I still believe
that you are definitely
a professional singer,
which is why I think
I‐‐I should be able
to recognize it,
but I just can't.
- ‐This is a hard one.
- Looking at the clues,
in the past,
he had a boom box,
‐in the first package.
‐That's right.
‐Oh.
‐Um, he had
a money gun,
like he was a baller.
Making it rain?
It did say that he‐‐he couldn't
always be a bad boy for life.
Could be a rapper.
Lil Jon?
Rapper or a boxer,
because when we say "swing,"
we've always brought up
baseball, tennis,
but I think it might
be swing as in, like,
‐a boxer.
‐I don't know any boxers
who, like, releases albums,
you know?
I just‐‐
I do.
Roy Jones, Jr.,
in case you forgot.
No, d‐‐
no, I don't think so.
Oh, I know who it is!
‐I know who it is!
‐Who is it, J. B.?
It's Mike Tyson.
It's not Mi‐‐
you really think
this sounds like Mike Tyson
singing Joan Jett?
That'd be amazing,
if this was Mike Tyson.
- ‐My bad.
- I don't know
why everyone
thinks it's an athlete.
I mean, look how
amazing a singer
and a dancer and charisma‐‐
I mean, it still
could be a comic.
Then‐‐Ken and I have been
going back and forth
that maybe
it's Tommy Davidson or somebody
- ‐from In Living Color...
- Yes!
Because the Monster's
been, uh,
probably the funniest character
we've had on
the show the whole time.
What do you think?
In Living Color?
I'ma tell you something.
Those are the feet
of a black man,
I can tell you right now,
and I know‐‐
I know Tommy Davidson's feet.
He has the feet
of a 12‐year‐old,
and those are size 5 1/2.

‐Could be.
It sounds like you guys
need another clue.
Monster,
can you give us
a moment of truth?
I was not
on In Living Color,
and my shoe size
- ‐is 12.
- He's not Tommy Davidson.
Now we know
it's not Tommy Davidson.
So that helped.
See? That helped.
‐All right.
We're getting off
to a good start
today, guys.
Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for the Monster!

What I love about you, Lion,
is you have this great,
soulful country tone.
You have made

I grew up in Kentucky,

The Alien.
‐Man, look at this, man.
‐And he's standing up again.

‐This is fabulous.
This might be the freakiest set
I've ever been on.
Let me tell you something.
I've been to a lot of shows,
concerts, all around the world,
but you,
take me to your leader.
Nicole.
First of all, that was
an awesome performance,
Alien,
'cause I feel every week,
you're stepping up your game
and you're doing your thing.
I feel like you have
some type of a recording voice.
Thank you.
All right.
To keep us all guessing,
Alien, can you give us
a moment of truth?
I have been on
The New York Times
best‐seller list twice.
‐
‐Oh.
What kind of books
do you think she wrote?
Uh, just, you know,
books about aliens
‐and space and‐‐
JENNY: Or law.
But this is the trickiest one,
to me. I really don't know.
Okay, so let's go
through what we know.
Uh, she fell off a runway,
‐so a model, possibly.
‐Yeah.
She brought out a badge,
where she protects.
Maybe she's‐‐
guards her family‐‐
very protective of her family,
because her family
is famous.
There were also
some references to
The Simple Life,
"that's hot"
- ‐and some of that stuff.
- Right.
I still think Nicole Richie.
Possible,
or Sofia Richie.
- ‐That's a good one.
- There's that
reference to the snake.
Remember, that snake
keeps coming through?
La Toya Jackson
had a pet snake,
and she loves snakes.
‐Possibly.
‐Or a cold‐hearted snake...
So Paula Abdul?
That's right, we did
make reference
that it was Paula.
She's tiny, like Paula.
But does she have
two best‐sellers?
Tell you who it's not.
‐
‐Who is it not?
It's not Paula Abdul.
Why do you think‐‐
‐Why?
Everybody knows Paula Abdul
is a pure dancer.
A pure dancer
has thicker legs,
and they love
to dance around.
You gotta shoot
a tranquilizer in their neck
to make them stop dancing.
They love to dance.
She's dancing on the show,
though, J. B.
All I'm saying is,
I've seen Paula Abdul
get whiplash one night
on stage.
I don't know,
but one thing we do know:
Alien gave us
a great performance tonight.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you so much, Alien.
Our panel thought
one of these celebrities
might be under the mask,
and if Alien loses
tonight's vote,
we'll find out
if they're right.
Hey, guys.
Think about Carmen Electra.
- ‐ Carmen... Right.
- That's right.
I think we forgot about her.
When people forget about you,
you feel like a damn alien.
Okay?
‐Am I right or wrong?
‐Yeah.
Now, let's keep our eyes peeled
for any clues
about a singer
with a voice like honey:
the Bee.
So far on the show,
I've been singing
hits from today's music.
I just got all choked up,
to be honest.
I wasn't expecting that.
You hit my heart.
But now that
the competition
is getting tougher,
I'm going back
to what I know best.
I love the men in the pool.
A few of us queen bees
got our groove on back then.
This bee's a legendary singer.
That's the clue.
So which one am I?
Am I bringing
a new attitude...
Is that Patti LaBelle,
who sang "New Attitude"?
- ‐Yep.
- Am I a super woman?
‐Gladys Knight?
‐Yeah.
So they're throwing out a bunch
of different song titles.
Right?
And I prove
that we don't
need another hero.
That's Tina Turner.
Am I giving you
the best that I got?
I think that's Anita Baker,
right?
Or do I buzz around
a different beehive?
I'll let you figure that out
while I sing a sexy song
from a very close friend.
We've been thrown
so many times with the Bee.
I'm very confused.

Unbelievable.
Queen Bee, it was
so commanding
and so powerful,

and such ease.
We don't have people
doing it like that these days.

‐Yeah.
There are
very few singers
who could beat Ms. Tina Turner,
and you're obviously
a living legend,
and we're honored to have you
on the show.
All right, detectives.
From everything
that we've seen,
what have you learned
about the Bee?
I've been, uh, stuck
on Gladys Knight
for a while.
I think I recognize
the voice,
but then today,
we heard all these song titles.
"We Don't need
Another Hero."
‐That's a Tina Turner song.
‐"New Attitude."
Patti LaBelle.
We might be getting
all these other names
just to throw us off, but‐‐
Exactly.
Not throwing me.
I'm‐‐
I'm ignoring all that stuff.
I'm gonna‐‐I'm watching‐‐
hey.
Okay, you don't have
to stand up, you know?
I'm watching the confidence
and stage presence.
Nobody's grandma
does this all day.
Whoever's in that costume
has a rep
- ‐for being sexy.
- Okay, there you go.
- Okay.
- And just for
my own purposes‐‐
and let my wife know
that they make this costume
in‐‐in her size‐‐
is there a stinger
on the back of that bad boy?
Are these all roleplay ideas
for you and your wife?
- ‐Yes, they are.
- Is this all roleplay?
Of course they are, okay?
No one be on
a freak‐ass show like this
and not get ideas.
Let me just say this.
I‐‐I was thinking,
first of all,
that the baking
was a clue for her name,
- ‐like Anita Baker.
- Yeah.
Was trying to throw us.
Well, "Giving You the Best
That I Got"
was also another
Anita Baker song.
That's not Anita Baker's voice,
though.
But to your point, Robin, what
if she can disguise her voice?
What if that's why Anita Baker
would be on the show,
to show that she doesn't have
to sing like Anita Baker?
‐That's true. That's true.
‐I'm very confused.
Well, it sounds like
we need some more clues, right?
- ‐Yep.
- Ms. Bee,
can you give us
a moment of truth?
Queen Bee,
I want to know,
have you ever won
a Grammy before?
Actually, I have ten.
- Oh!
- What?
So she is a legend.
I'm dying to know who it is.
One thing we definitely
do know:
another amazing performance
by the Bee.
Keep it going

Gang, what did you guys think
about the Rabbit's performance?
I loved it.
I mean, everybody else
has been kind of following
the script
of the original song.
To see you really
make it your own‐‐
we realize you love soul music,
but you also love
country and rock,
and I thought it was just
a great amalgamation
of all that.
Amalgamation!
That's a big one on Scrabble.

Fabulous.
All right, truth time.
Rabbit, you gotta hook us up
with a clue.
Can you give us

I have 17 tattoos
on my body.
17 tattoos?
Doesn't surprise me.
He's taken on this role
of psychotic bunny.
Does that help you?
- ‐None of this does.
- Exactly.
I felt like I caught on
to something tonight.
As soon as I heard
your tone,
I felt like it was JC
from NSYNC.
- You could be right.
- I mean‐‐
Let me go through the clues.
He said he was in a band,
not necessarily
the lead singer.
He likes to cook,
or has a restaurant,
uh, much like NKOTB,
Donnie Wahlberg, but, um...
You would know if this
was your husband, wouldn't you?
He hasn't answered the phone
every time
Rabbit's been onstage.
‐That is true.
‐So this could be your husband.
It could be,
and I literally just
wrote down Donnie,
because‐‐
That might
be kind of amazing.
Ken's sister
was on the show.
Let's not bring that up.
But he's also
from Florida, right?
Didn't he
say the sunshine state?
- ‐Yeah.
- Okay, so he could
also be Joey Fatone,
who has a hot dog restaurant.
I've thought it was Joey
from the body language

Billy Ray Cyrus.
There was

for being weird, okay?
Then, the other week,
I heard that sweet
Jackson‐type tone

with all of you that, um,
the reason I did this
actually is because
people have a tendency
to prejudge you
and the way you sing,
and the things,
and they compare you
to other people
in your family,
and I just want to do it
and see how far I'd go.
Now, are there
any other big clues
that we may have missed?
Like, the snake...
Do you own a snake?
I used to.
I used to have two,
Adam and Eve.
- Wow.
- Y'all remember the whole
snake thing
with La Toya J‐‐
I‐‐I remember.
I remember that very well.
I was young. I remember that.
I rememb‐‐
and me and Robin
remember the snake.
I was a young,
impressionable lad.
La Toya Jackson.
‐La Toya!
‐Whoo! La Toya!
Next week,
our semifinals
begin,
and for the first time ever,
two singers will be unmasked,
but before we go,
to sing for us once again,
unmasked,
once and for all,
ladies and gentlemen,
make some noise
for La Toya Jackson!
