- Whoo!
- Yeah!
- How cool is that?
- So cool! It's so cool.
Ken: Yes!
Please welcome
our guest of honor,
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.
- Thank you.
- Robin: Yeah!
He's responsible for some of
the best musicals ever written.
- Yes. Yes.
- Mega-hits like "Cats,"
"Phantom of the Opera,"
and "Evita."
- Amazing.
- Wait, wait, wait! Whoa!
Excuse me, your highness.
- ♪ In sleep he sang to me
- Oh, no, Ken.
- Oh, no.
- ♪ In dreams he came
- Oh, no!
- No! He's auditioning!
♪ The voice that calls to me
♪ And speaks my name
♪ And do I dream again?
- ♪ For now I find
- No, no, no. Hang on.
I hope Andrew doesn't
punch him in the face.
- ♪ The Phantom of the Opera
- Hang on. Hang on a moment.
Look, if I am the girl
in "Phantom of the Opera"...
- Yeah?
- and you're trying
to get hold of me...
- Yeah.
- ...could you just do it
- a little bit more seductively?
- Okay, okay.
Can you just go--
because at the moment,
- if I may say--
- ♪ The Phantom of the Opera
- Oh, my God.
- ♪ Is there
- ♪ Inside
- Andrew: Look, look, look.
- You girls in
the audience here...
- Okay, okay.
...would you be seduced
by this guy?
- Okay.
- ( both cheering and jeering )
- How dare you?
- No!
- Look, shall we try it
a little bit quieter?
- Yes, sir.
♪ In dreams he sang to me
- Andrew: No, no, no, no.
- Delicate.
That voice!
That fine-ass voice!
- Yo!
- That keeps calling me!
- No, no, no, no!
- And she speaks my name!
- Andrew: No, no.
- Ken, can you stop
embarrassing yourself
- in front of
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber?
- All right.
I thought this was
the best acting Ken's ever done.
- It's really true.
- Could you please escort
- our esteemed guest
to his seat?
- Yes, yes, yes.
And then escort yourself
out the building.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
and some other dude.
Yes, Andrew!
So, you guys ready
to get this started?
- Tonight we have three
brand new celebrities.
- Wow.
All three singers will perform.
The audience will vote.
The singer with the least amount
of votes will unmask.
And the top two
singers will face off
in a battle royale.
- Yes!
- Whoever wins that
comes back next week
- as our new king and queen.
- Whoo!
Okay, put your hands together
for the Maize.
♪ It ain't my fault that
I'm out here getting loose ♪
Oh, my God!
It's corn! Maize!
♪ Blame it on my Goose
That is a big old corn.
Only on this show you can go
from Andrew Lloyd Webber
to a big-ass piece of corn.
Dear Andrew Lloyd Webber,
sure, you've had a few hits,
but if you really wanna
go down in history,
you need to make
a musical about me!
Oh, she is fabulous.
I think this is a Broadway gal.
Picture this,
a young, plucky ingénue
with dreams too big for life
in a small cornfield,
doing impressions
of the greats,
hoping to be discovered.
Then comes act two.
It's a comedy of errors
as I moves to the city
and struggle to find my place
in this business of show.
The plot thickens
when I finally land the role
I was born to play,
and the city smiles with me
as I shine like a king.
- Bravo!
- Bravo, Andy Cohen.
- ( dialing )
- You see, Lord Lloyd Webber,
I don't want
to get carried away here,
but I'm a smash hit
waiting to happen.
I'll have my people call yours.
And scene!

- Robin: Wow!
- Jenny: Oh, my Lord.
- Wow!
- Bravo.
- That was very surprising.
- Bravo, bravo, bravo.
Oh, thank you.
Please, please!
Thank you, Nicole!
Oh, my gosh! Who is this?
- Nick: We did not expect that.
- Robin: Yeah.
That was incredible.
That was professional.
That was fabulous.
It was stunning.
It brought us out of our seats.
That was outstanding.
Outstanding.
Thank you very much.
Whoever you are,
I've got some advice for you.
- Ooh.
- Turn professional.
- Ken: Wow!
- Jenny: Oh!
You are a star,
whoever you are.
Lord Lloyd Webber,
I just wanna say
I think you're a genius.
I've loved you forever,
and you're brilliant.
Well, thank you very much,
and so are you.
Thank you.
All right, let's bring out
the first onstage clue.
♪ What's the buzz,
tell me what's a-happening ♪
♪ What's the buzz,
tell me what's a-happening ♪
♪ What's the buzz,
tell me what's a-happening ♪
I love a good clue.
Bring me the clues.
Nick:
Some energy up here.
- Oh!
- Oh!
♪ Why should
you want to know? ♪
Nick: It says, "TV, movies,
stage, even hosting,
Maize has fans
frozen to their seats."
Frozen.
Well, I think we all feel
this Broadway essence, right?
- Yeah.
- We see the "Frozen" clue,
so names like Josh Gad,
who's very multidimensional
and talented.
- But that's not Josh's voice.
- Oh, yeah.
- Jenny: No.
- Isn't Jonathan Groff...
- Oh, "Frozen." Kristoff.
- ...in "Frozen"?
- Ken: Yes.
- He was also in "Hamilton."
The King in "Hamilton."
- King George.
- And he's buh-rilliant.
- Ken: Incredible.
- Yeah, he's good.
- Ken: Best King George.
- I mean, Jonathan Groff
- could have a voice like that.
- Totally.
- Nicole:
And the personality.
- Totally.
What about somebody
from "The Birdcage,"
like Nathan Lane?
There was a bird in the package.
Oh, you know what, Robin?
I love Nathan Lane as a guess.
And it's gotta be
someone like you said
that comes from Broadway.
I was getting, like,
a Matthew Broderick type.
- Robin: Not bad. Yeah.
- Oh, yeah.
Even like a Mario Cantone.
Because there was a clue,
"carried away."
- Robin: Ahh.
- Which makes me think
of Carrie Bradshaw
- and "Sex in the City."
- Nicole: Yeah.
Ken: Good guesses.
We need a name from
the King of England here.
I really am not sure.
My mind's in a maze.
- I got it.
- Ahh!
- Robin: Off to it already.
- Good one, Your Majesty.
Nick:
Well, one thing we do know,
- the Maize was amazing.
- Ken: Yes!
You can head on backstage.
We will you see
a little bit later.
- That was amazing.
- He's good, but he's young.
And whoever he is,
I don't know.

Welcome back to

We're celebrating the music

She's a total dish.
Half woman, half fish,
it's the Mermaid!

Nick: Wow, this is
an amazing costume, right?
I love it!
Being here
on Andrew Lloyd Webber Night
is simply the best.
"Simply the Best"
is a Tina Turner song.
( vocalizing )
( cheers and applause )
But it wasn't
a straight shot to success.
Right when my career
was just taking off,
a horrible accident
led to a major setback.
Oh. Oh, my God.
I was petrified
I would never be the same...
...let alone perform.
But God had greater plans
for me.
I turned my anguish
into an anthem,
and before I knew it,
oh, baby,
I was back on my feet and
swimming in supreme stardom.
( cheers and applause )
I performed
for princes and popes.
( vocalizing )
And if I do say so myself,
I'm just as big a legend
as you are, Lord Lloyd Webber.

Bravo.
- Bravo, bravo, bravo.
- Wow.
- Wow.
- The Mermaid showing us all
how it's done!
Whoo!
We are definitely in
the presence of royalty tonight.
Jenny: Yes, Mermaid!
Absolutely wonderful
to hear it sung by a girl
as good as you are.
- Thank you so much.
- Brilliant.
Absolutely brilliant.
It is my great honor
and pleasure
to be here singing your song.
- Well, thank you.
- Jenny: Oh, wow.
All right, well,
let's bring it on out.

Jenny: "Mermaid makes waves,
enters Library..."
Robin:
Library of Congress.
Well, obviously
this is a huge legend!
We're in the presence
of a megastar.
Nick: Indeed.
I'm guessing because
this is somebody who has dealt
with a serious injury
if isn't one of greatest
voices of all time,
and that it's Gloria Estefan.
- Oh!
- Ken: Oh, my-- great guess!
That is a great guess.
Andrew: I mean,
she was in an accident,
and then she released the song
"Coming out of the Dark."
- Could it be Gloria?
- Yes. Very good guess.
That is genius,
but not as genius as my guess.
You're gonna go against
the Lord?
- I'm going against the Lord.
- Someone's gotta do it.
- ( jeering )
- Don't boo me,
because this Mermaid
on point is Cher!
- Mermaid. Cher.
- No!
- Oh, my God!
- Oscar-winner. Broadway.
She starred a movie
actually called "Mermaids."
I am winning this, okay?
There was a moon.
"Moonstruck."
I can feel it in my bones...
- Jenny: I'm embarrassed.
- ...Lord Lloyd Webber!
- Listen, listen, listen.
- It is Cher.
Listen to me.
This is not Cher.
Ken: It's Cher.
"Moonstruck."
- I know all the clues.
- The trouble is you've got
a lovely blue jacket,
but you're incredibly wrong.
- Thank you.
- Yes!
Well, he put that
in such a classy way.
Jenny: All right, so listen.
The vinyl record
made me think of course
of one of the biggest
vocalists in the '70s.
Could this be, like,
a Roberta Flack?
That's what
I was thinking, Jenny.
Could be, but when I heard
overcoming a tough obstacle,
she's a survivor,
then this song by this woman
would definitely be
in the Library of Congress.
I'm thinking
that this might be
"I Will Survive's"
Miss Gloria Gaynor.
- Ken: Wow. Good guess.
- Andrew: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Good guess.
- Very good guess.
'Cause the song-- to get
into the Library of Congress
you would need one of the most
famous songs in history,
and "I Will Survive"
is at that level.
Right, right.
These are great non-Cher
guesses in my opinion.
- These are amazing.
- Nick: All right, well,
one thing we do know,
we are in the presence
of a legend.
Keep it going,
ladies and gentlemen,
it is the Mermaid.
Men In Black,
come help Mermaid out, please.
We'll see you later on
during the vote.
- I mean, what a voice.
- I know.
Right? I mean,
it seems like somebody
who's been doing this
their whole life,
is one of the best
in the business, right?
Yeah.
♪ Who is that?

Welcome back to

Andrew Lloyd Webber Night.

secret celebrity
to step out into the spotlight.
She came here to win
and she's made of tin.
It's Robo Girl!

Jenny: Oh, my God!

Stepping up into the spotlight
on Andrew Lloyd Webber Night
feels a little out
of my comfort zone.
Because for much of my career
I've lived in the shadows
of superstars--
from Missy to Pharrell,
and even David Blaine.
A surfboard.
Who was in a surfing movie?
The glow of their talent
made it hard for me
to recognize my own.
I was worried
it'd never be my turn.
But with 86 cents to my name,
I booked a job that changed
my life forever.
I not only found
my own pretty little spotlight,
but gained the most magical
fandom in the world.
They've given me
supernatural confidence.
- Honey. Jessica Alba?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm going to need that
if I'm going to take
the lead tonight.

All right, Robo Girl.
Where are you?
Where are you? Hi.
- Nick: Amazing job.
- Oh, my gosh.
You are a good time.
I watched you
and I thought of a margarita.
I was like,
"Yeah, I wanna have a margarita
with that girl up there."
Right?
She's got a young spirit.
- Ken: Yeah, yeah, look!
- Nicole: And I love-- hey!
- See?
- Ken: Oh, my goodness.
The dancing, the moving,
the conviction, your--
the commitment, I loved it.
Even when you ended,
- you were like,
"Yeah, take that."
- Ah, I love you, Nicole.
- Aw, so sweet.
- Ken: Wow.
And I feel like
you have a familiar voice.
I feel like I've heard
that voice before.
This is someone we know.
Yeah, absolutely.
- Yeah.
- Andrew: Yeah.
Well, we could definitely
use some clues
to figure out
who this is, right?
Clues, 'cause
I think I have an idea.
- Well, hold onto that idea.

Jenny: What is it?
Nick: "While on tour,
Robo Girl holds her own
opposite multi-Grammy winner."
- Opposite multi...
- Whoa. She holds her own.
Robin: Okay, so that helps.
I heard
a "stepping up" clue, right?
And I lot of people
don't know that this person
danced for Janet Jackson,
who's a Grammy-winner,
and also danced
for Missy Elliot,
who's a Grammy-winner.
Jenny:
I know where you're going.
And I think that
this could be Jenna Dewan.
- Jenny: Yes!
- Ken: Great guess.
- Andrew: Yeah.
- Ken: Great guess.
- Jenny: I love it.
- That's a great guess.
Okay, that's not bad,
but we saw "stage name,"
so I'm thinking
who's got a stage name?
Becky G.
Her real name's Rebecca, right?
And she's got a great energy.
All right, I'm not finished.
O-kurr?
I'm a big fan of this girl.
She's everywhere.
She's got that ditty,
cute little body.
She's got electric energy
and personality.
She can sing, act, dance,
do everything. Keke Palmer.
- I'm getting Keke Palmer vibes.
- Great guess.
- That's a great guess.
- Ken, did you guess yet?
- I did-- I haven't guessed.
- Spit it out.
I haven't guessed,
and I'll tell you why.
Because this is
clearly in my head,
initially, Lucy Hale.
Surfboard,
"Teen Choice Awards,"
"Pretty Little Liars."
But seeing the onstage clue,
keeping up with
multiple Grammy-winners,
I'm a big fan of
"Only Murders in the Building."
This could be Selena Gomez's
costar Cara Delevingne!
- Cara Delevingne
is also-- how dare you?
- No! Ken!
- But she can't sing.
- Huh?
Yes. Oh, he said.
He said it.
- She can't sing.
- You don't know me
or Cara Delevingne.
Ken, they enjoyed
your guess of Selena Gomez
more than that one, right?
- ( cheering )
- Oh! Oh!
Jenny:
Selena Gomez can sing.
- Mind you,
Cara Delevingne is lovely.
- Yeah, yeah. Okay.
But she can't sing
as well as this girl,
whoever she might be.
Okay, Selena Gomez.
It's Selena Gomez!
They clap because it's over.
Nick:
Well, one thing we do know,
that was an amazing performance.
Give it up for Robo Girl!
You can head on
backstage to reboot.
She's fun.
We've seen three
outstanding performances.
Now, studio audience,
it's time for you to vote
for your favorite.
The two characters
with the most votes
will face off
in the battle royale.
The other will be unmasked.
The voting is open now.
The results and our first
unmasking of the night
is on the way after the break.
♪ Who is that?
- ♪ Who is that?
- Welcome back to
"The Masked Singer."
We're going to get straight
to the results right now
and see who moves on
and who moves out.
- ( groans )
- It's a big moment
for the Maize.
Did he cream the competition
or was his voice too husky?
- No.
- ( jeering )
Is Robo Girl moving on
to the battle royale
or will she have
a hard drive home?
Those are some young hips.
Nick: She has the gills,
but did she have the skills?
- Is Mermaid swimming away?
- Nicole: No way.
We shall see. All right.
- Leaving us tonight...
- No, no, no.
- and unmasking first...
- No!
- is...
- Change the rules, Nick.
- Nicole: Yes, please.
- I don't want this right now.
Yeah, this is a tough one.
- The Maize.
- What?
- Oh!
- No!
Ladies and gentlemen,
keep it going for the Maize.
- No way, no way, no way!
- Are you kidding?
Mermaid and Robo Girl,
head on back to the lair
and prepare for
the Battle Royale.
Let's give it up
for the Maize.
We're so sorry
to see you leave,
but we can't wait to see
who you are.
All right, panel,
what are your final guesses?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber?
Whoever it is has got
a most fantastic young voice,
and I'd love to work with you.
- Oh, that's a prize!
- Anytime.
Forget about this show, Maize.
You just got a job
with one of the legends.
- That's right!
- But the trouble is that
I don't know your voice,
but I only have to go
by the clues,
and I'm a little bit
of a puzzler.
He said, "shine like a king."
Could it be Jack White?
Because he played Elvis
in a movie?
- Oh.
- What?
The "Frozen" clue
makes me think of snow,
- and snow is white.
- All: White.
And that's why I think
you might be Jack White.
Jenny: I like it.
- I like it.
- All right.
Either way, you just got a job.
- Jenny: You got a job!
- I loved Jack White.
Nick:
Robin, what you got?
It's a tough one,
but Statue of Liberty
makes me New Yorker.
And then the bird, "Birdcage."
I think this is Nathan Lane.
- Okay.
- No, it's not Nathan Lane.
I'm not sure about Nathan Lane,
but I was thinking
about another New Yorker.
He was a huge star
in "Sex in the City."
I think this could be
Mario Cantone.
Good guess.
For me, the TV/movie/host clue
makes me think this is someone
who can do it all,
like "SNL's" Bowen Yang.
Amazing singer.
He said doing impressions.
He's done one of me.
I was very flattered.
This is Bowen Yang.
Who do you think, Nicole?
Definitely those are some
big Broadway vocals to me.
So I'm gonna go
with Jonathan Groff.
- Jonathan Groff.
Good guess, good guess.
- Ken: I love it.
All right, panel,
your final guesses are in,
so let's see if
any of you are correct.
Audience, say it with me.
- All: Take it off!
- Who is this?
- All: Take it off!
- Who is it?
- Who is this?
- ♪ Who are you?
Oh, my God.
It's gonna drive me crazy
- Nicole: Oh, my God.
- ♪ I really wanna know
♪ Oh, I really wanna know
Take it off! Take it off!
♪ You, you, you, are you?
Singer, actor, comedian--
the legend,
my man, Mario Cantone!
Wow.
Where'd you pull that out?
- That was awesome.
- Amazing.
- You were amazing.
- I know!
- Amazing!
- Wow!
The hilarious, multitalented
Mario Cantone.
- You killed it, my brother.
- Well, thank you.
- Yes.
- And to do this in front of
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.
- Bravo.
- And he gave you
so many compliments.
- Tell me about this moment.
- Well, I'll live on that
for the rest of my life.
I think you're incredible.
I think you guys
should really work together.
You know the best thing
is you said I was young.
- Ha, ha, ha!
- Uh-huh.
You sounded so fresh,
and it was a wonderful way
you hit all those top notes.
- Oh, thank you.
- And thank you very, very much
because was great
to hear you sing like that.
Thank you.
It was a thrill.
It was a thrill.
Now, Mario, we definitely
know you to have fun
and you're a great comedian,
a great performer.
But to hear this voice
and to hear you be
so serious as a--
Well, that's why I did this,
because I want people
to know I can sing.
I do a lot of Broadway benefits,
and every time I do one,
people say,
- "I didn't know
you could sing."
- Yeah.
That's the beauty of this show,

God-given talent,

Thank you very much.
Indeed. Ladies and gentlemen,
keep it going one more time.
- Love you.

a pleasure having you.
- Hang out with us
for the rest of the show.
- I will. Where am I gonna go?
You go back there.
You'll be in the VIP section.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Maize, Mario Cantone.
I had no idea that
he could sing like that.
Nick: This show
is full of surprises.
And up next,
Mermaid and Robo Girl
are going head-to-head
in another battle royale
for the crown
right after the break.
♪ Who is that?
Announcer:
The time has come
for the battle royale!
- Let's go!
- The Mermaid and Robo Girl
are about to go head-to-head
in a high stakes battle royale
for the crown,
as they each put their own twist
on a true
Andrew Lloyd Webber classic.
- Let the battle commence.

( vocalizing )
- Yes! Yes!
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Yes!
- Wow! Wow!
- She was amazing.
Nicole:
They're both amazing.
- Wow.
- Man.
If I may say so myself,
that might be the best
battle royale we've ever seen.
Without question.
Ever! Ever!
- Ever!
- By far.
That was a real battle.
Panel, you got your work
cut out for you.
Wow.
First of all, I just
wanna give it up right now
for the legend that
is right here next to us
- who actually
wrote that song.
- I love that song.
Nicole: He wrote all these
unbelievable songs tonight.
It's kind of surreal
that he's with us.
I mean,
there's never in history--
we're never gonna have
other songs like this again.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Thank you, Andrew.
- Andrew: Thank you, guys.
- Come on. Thank you.
- I mean, it's crazy.
- We're not worthy!
- We're not worthy, man.
- Thank you so much.
But can I just say,
you've got two totally different
interpretations of the song.
And, Mermaid, I mean,
it was wonderful to hear it
in this sort of this rather
voluptuous lower key.
And, of course,
when we're hearing it sung
in the higher key,
it's much closer to the key
that I wrote it in.
But both of them were really,
really fantastic.
And I'm humbled,
the fact that I hear my songs
sung so well by both of you.
Nick: Couldn't say it
any better.
And with that, panel,
the pressure is on.
Ugh.
Nick: Your votes determine
who stays and who goes.
- Oh, God.
- Start voting now.
Aah! Uh-oh.
Oh, this is gonna be
so hard. Oh!
We'll have the results
and another unmasking
after the break.
♪ Who is that?
Let's go right
into the results.
This round's first queen is...
Oh, my gosh.
After that battle royale,
we don't have a loser.
They were both amazing.
Andrew.
- Robo Girl!
- Jenny: Oh, my gosh!
- Congratulations, Robo Girl.
- Wow!
She is celebrating.
You are one step closer
to the Golden Mask Trophy.
And look at this!
You have
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
- coming to knight you
personally!
- Jenny: Wow!
- Epic!
- That is epic.
Take a knee right there.
- Nicole: Wow.
- Giving you your staff.
- Head on back and enjoy
being our new queen.
- Wow!
Robo Girl!
All: Robo Girl!
Robo Girl!
Robo Girl! Robo Girl!
So let's keep it going
for Mermaid!
Mermaid, you were amazing.
- Aww.
- We hate to see you go,
- but we can't wait
to see who you are.
- Yes.
But first, panel,
you guys gotta give us
your final guesses.
I am getting mega legend vibes,
for sure.
- Absolutely.
- She talked about an anthem.
"Killing Me Softly."
That's an anthem.
- I think this
is Roberta Flack.
- Ooh.
- Nicole: Wow.
- Okay. Robin, what you got?
The clues were about surviving
and overcoming obstacles.
No one is a bigger survivor
than this woman.
Her song exemplifies survival
and should be
in the Library of Congress.
I think the Mermaid
is Gloria Gaynor.
- Nicole: Yeah!
That's a good guess!
- That's a good guess.
Ken, who do you think it is?
The Mermaid has to be Cher.
- She was in
the movie "Mermaids."
- Oh, come on!
Hey. Let me finish.
I believe this is Cher!
Nicole,
what's your final guess?
I'm thinking it's one
of Robin or Jenny's guesses
because the vinyl applies
to both beautiful legends,
and so does
the music movie clues.
- However...
- Here she goes.
...going off of my Golden Ear.
That's right.
I've got the trophy everybody.
I think this is Gloria Gaynor,
and I'm honored to say
that we follow each other
on Instagram.
There it is!
Gloria Gaynor, everyone!
What is your final guess,
Lord Webber?
It is definitely Gloria Estefan,
because that voice
is just most remarkable voice.
And if it's not Gloria,
I'm the greatest fan
of whoever it is.
Well, all right, we got
the panel's final guesses.
Let's see if you guys are right.
Audience, say it with me.
All: Take it off!
Take it off!

for coming here
- and doing our little show.
- Nicole: Wow.
Yes!
Nick: You are a truly
and icon and a legend.
- Whoo!
- You got Robin Thicke
standing on the table.
Everyone is on their feet.
We have guessed you
every single season
and we have been wrong.
And I had a gut feeling
from the clues
and that voice,
and we are so honored.
- So honored.
- You look gorgeous.
- You sang gorgeous.
- Thank you.
Thank you for blessing us.
- Jenny: Amazing.
- Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you.
Do you know,
what an honor for me
to hear you live like this.
Well, it was my honor.
Thank you.
You are one of the greatest
singers of our generation.
Thank you.
So what made you do
"The Masked Singer,"
if you don't mind me asking,
Ms. Gaynor?
Well, I've been watching it.
It just looked like
so much fun.
I said,
"Yeah, I gotta do this."
And you are stunning
as the Mermaid!
- Thank you.
- Oh!
Is there anything
you wanna say to our panel
or your fans
at home watching?
I love you all.
Keep watching, keep living,
and most of all,
keep loving and surviving.
- Yes!
- Oh! Oh!
Nick: Said it like a true icon
and a true legend.
All right, well,
that's it for this week.
Robo Girl will come back
next time
to face two
brand new challengers
in Muppet Night!

Ken: Yes!
Please welcome
our guest of honor,
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.
- Thank you.
- Robin: Yeah!
He's responsible for some of
the best musicals ever written.
- Yes. Yes.
- Mega-hits like "Cats,"
"Phantom of the Opera,"
and "Evita."

- Ken, can you stop
embarrassing yourself

Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber?
- All right.
I thought this was
the best acting Ken's ever done.
- It's really true.
- Could you please escort
- our esteemed guest
to his seat?
- Yes, yes, yes.
And then escort yourself
out the building.
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
and some other dude.
Yes, Andrew!
So, you guys ready
to get this started?
- Tonight we have three
brand new celebrities.
- Wow.
All three singers will perform.
The audience will vote.
The singer with the least amount
of votes will unmask.
And the top two
singers will face off
in a battle royale.
- Yes!
- Whoever wins that
comes back next week

- Whoo!
Okay, put your hands together
for the Maize.

I'm out here getting loose ♪
Oh, my God!
It's corn! Maize!
♪ Blame it on my Goose
That is a big old corn.
Only on this show you can go
from Andrew Lloyd Webber
to a big-ass piece of corn.
Dear Andrew Lloyd Webber,
sure, you've had a few hits,
but if you really wanna
go down in history,
you need to make
a musical about me!
Oh, she is fabulous.
I think this is a Broadway gal.
Picture this,
a young, plucky ingénue
with dreams too big for life
in a small cornfield,
doing impressions
of the greats,
hoping to be discovered.
Then comes act two.
It's a comedy of errors
as I moves to the city
and struggle to find my place
in this business of show.
The plot thickens
when I finally land the role
I was born to play,
and the city smiles with me
as I shine like a king.
- Bravo!
- Bravo, Andy Cohen.
- ( dialing )
- You see, Lord Lloyd Webber,
I don't want
to get carried away here,
but I'm a smash hit
waiting to happen.
I'll have my people call yours.

Frozen.
Well, I think we all feel
this Broadway essence, right?
- Yeah.
- We see the "Frozen" clue,
so names like Josh Gad,
who's very multidimensional
and talented.
- But that's not Josh's voice.
- Oh, yeah.
- Jenny: No.
- Isn't Jonathan Groff...
- Oh, "Frozen." Kristoff.
- ...in "Frozen"?
- Ken: Yes.
- He was also in "Hamilton."
The King in "Hamilton."
- King George.
- And he's buh-rilliant.

- Yeah, he's good.
- Ken: Best King George.
- I mean, Jonathan Groff
- could have a voice like that.
- Totally.
- Nicole:
And the personality.
- Totally.
What about somebody
from "The Birdcage,"
like Nathan Lane?
There was a bird in the package.
Oh, you know what, Robin?
I love Nathan Lane as a guess.
And it's gotta be
someone like you said
that comes from Broadway.
I was getting, like,
a Matthew Broderick type.
- Robin: Not bad. Yeah.
- Oh, yeah.
Even like a Mario Cantone.
Because there was a clue,
"carried away."
- Robin: Ahh.
- Which makes me think
of Carrie Bradshaw
- and "Sex in the City."
- Nicole: Yeah.
Ken: Good guesses.
We need a name from
the King of England here.
I really am not sure.
My mind's in a maze.

"Simply the Best"

( cheers and applause )
But it wasn't
a straight shot to success.
Right when my career
was just taking off,
a horrible accident
led to a major setback.
Oh. Oh, my God.
I was petrified
I would never be the same...
...let alone perform.
But God had greater plans
for me.
I turned my anguish
into an anthem,
and before I knew it,
oh, baby,
I was back on my feet and
swimming in supreme stardom.
( cheers and applause )
I performed
for princes and popes.

And if I do say so myself,
I'm just as big a legend
as you are, Lord Lloyd Webber.

Jenny: "Mermaid makes waves,

Robin:
Library of Congress.
Well, obviously
this is a huge legend!
We're in the presence
of a megastar.
Nick: Indeed.
I'm guessing because
this is somebody who has dealt
with a serious injury
if isn't one of greatest
voices of all time,
and that it's Gloria Estefan.
- Oh!
- Ken: Oh, my-- great guess!
That is a great guess.
Andrew: I mean,
she was in an accident,
and then she released the song
"Coming out of the Dark."
- Could it be Gloria?
- Yes. Very good guess.
That is genius,
but not as genius as my guess.
You're gonna go against
the Lord?
- I'm going against the Lord.
- Someone's gotta do it.
- ( jeering )
- Don't boo me,
because this Mermaid
on point is Cher!
- Mermaid. Cher.
- No!
- Oh, my God!
- Oscar-winner. Broadway.
She starred a movie
actually called "Mermaids."
I am winning this, okay?
There was a moon.
"Moonstruck."
I can feel it in my bones...
- Jenny: I'm embarrassed.
- ...Lord Lloyd Webber!
- Listen, listen, listen.
- It is Cher.
Listen to me.
This is not Cher.
Ken: It's Cher.
"Moonstruck."
- I know all the clues.
- The trouble is you've got
a lovely blue jacket,
but you're incredibly wrong.
- Thank you.
- Yes!
Well, he put that
in such a classy way.
Jenny: All right, so listen.
The vinyl record
made me think of course
of one of the biggest
vocalists in the '70s.
Could this be, like,
a Roberta Flack?
That's what
I was thinking, Jenny.
Could be, but when I heard
overcoming a tough obstacle,
she's a survivor,
then this song by this woman
would definitely be
in the Library of Congress.
I'm thinking
that this might be
"I Will Survive's"
Miss Gloria Gaynor.
- Ken: Wow. Good guess.
- Andrew: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Good guess.
- Very good guess.
'Cause the song-- to get
into the Library of Congress
you would need one of the most
famous songs in history,
and "I Will Survive"
is at that level.
Right, right.
These are great non-Cher
guesses in my opinion.
- These are amazing.
- Nick: All right, well,
one thing we do know,
we are in the presence
of a legend.
Keep it going,
ladies and gentlemen,
it is the Mermaid.
Men In Black,
come help Mermaid out, please.
We'll see you later on
during the vote.
- I mean, what a voice.
- I know.
Right? I mean,
it seems like somebody
who's been doing this
their whole life,
is one of the best
in the business, right?
Yeah.

Who was in a surfing movie?
The glow of their talent
made it hard for me
to recognize my own.
I was worried
it'd never be my turn.
But with 86 cents to my name,
I booked a job that changed
my life forever.
I not only found

- Robin: Yeah!
- Jenny: Wow.
- Nicole: Wow!
- She's got conviction.
- Whoo!
Nick: Okay.
All right, Robo Girl.
Where are you?
Where are you? Hi.
- Nick: Amazing job.
- Oh, my gosh.
You are a good time.
I watched you
and I thought of a margarita.
I was like,
"Yeah, I wanna have a margarita
with that girl up there."
Right?
She's got a young spirit.
- Ken: Yeah, yeah, look!
- Nicole: And I love-- hey!
- See?
- Ken: Oh, my goodness.
The dancing, the moving,
the conviction, your--
the commitment, I loved it.
Even when you ended,
- you were like,
"Yeah, take that."
- Ah, I love you, Nicole.
- Aw, so sweet.
- Ken: Wow.
And I feel like
you have a familiar voice.
I feel like I've heard
that voice before.
This is someone we know.
Yeah, absolutely.
- Yeah.
- Andrew: Yeah.
Well, we could definitely
use some clues
to figure out
who this is, right?
Clues, 'cause
I think I have an idea.
- Well, hold onto that idea.
- Okay, I'll hold on.
Let's bring out the next clue.
♪ What's the buzz,
tell me what's a-happening ♪
- Look at 'em. Look at--
- Oh, oh, oh!
- Oh, whoa.
- Oh!

♪ Why should

All right,
there's your clue, guys.
Jenny: What is it?
Nick: "While on tour,
Robo Girl holds her own
opposite multi-Grammy winner."
- Opposite multi...
- Whoa. She holds her own.
Robin: Okay, so that helps.
I heard
a "stepping up" clue, right?
And I lot of people
don't know that this person
danced for Janet Jackson,
who's a Grammy-winner,
and also danced
for Missy Elliot,
who's a Grammy-winner.
Jenny:
I know where you're going.
And I think that
this could be Jenna Dewan.
- Jenny: Yes!
- Ken: Great guess.
- Andrew: Yeah.
- Ken: Great guess.
- Jenny: I love it.
- That's a great guess.
Okay, that's not bad,
but we saw "stage name,"
so I'm thinking
who's got a stage name?
Becky G.
Her real name's Rebecca, right?
And she's got a great energy.
All right, I'm not finished.
O-kurr?
I'm a big fan of this girl.
She's everywhere.
She's got that ditty,
cute little body.
She's got electric energy
and personality.
She can sing, act, dance,
do everything. Keke Palmer.
- I'm getting Keke Palmer vibes.
- Great guess.
- That's a great guess.
- Ken, did you guess yet?
- I did-- I haven't guessed.
- Spit it out.
I haven't guessed,
and I'll tell you why.
Because this is
clearly in my head,
initially, Lucy Hale.
Surfboard,
"Teen Choice Awards,"
"Pretty Little Liars."
But seeing the onstage clue,
keeping up with
multiple Grammy-winners,
I'm a big fan of
"Only Murders in the Building."
This could be Selena Gomez's
costar Cara Delevingne!
- Cara Delevingne
is also-- how dare you?
- No! Ken!
- But she can't sing.
- Huh?
Yes. Oh, he said.
He said it.
- She can't sing.
- You don't know me
or Cara Delevingne.
Ken, they enjoyed
your guess of Selena Gomez
more than that one, right?
- ( cheering )
- Oh! Oh!
Jenny:
Selena Gomez can sing.
- Mind you,
Cara Delevingne is lovely.
- Yeah, yeah. Okay.
But she can't sing
as well as this girl,
whoever she might be.
Okay, Selena Gomez.
It's Selena Gomez!
They clap because it's over.
Nick:
Well, one thing we do know,
that was an amazing performance.
Give it up for Robo Girl!
You can head on
backstage to reboot.
She's fun.
We've seen three
outstanding performances.
Now, studio audience,
it's time for you to vote
for your favorite.
The two characters
with the most votes
will face off
in the battle royale.
The other will be unmasked.
The voting is open now.
The results and our first
unmasking of the night
is on the way after the break.
♪ Who is that?
- ♪ Who is that?
- Welcome back to
"The Masked Singer."
We're going to get straight
to the results right now
and see who moves on
and who moves out.
- ( groans )
- It's a big moment
for the Maize.
Did he cream the competition
or was his voice too husky?
- No.
- ( jeering )
Is Robo Girl moving on
to the battle royale
or will she have
a hard drive home?
Those are some young hips.
Nick: She has the gills,
but did she have the skills?
- Is Mermaid swimming away?
- Nicole: No way.
We shall see. All right.
- Leaving us tonight...
- No, no, no.
- and unmasking first...
- No!
- is...
- Change the rules, Nick.
- Nicole: Yes, please.
- I don't want this right now.
Yeah, this is a tough one.
- The Maize.
- What?
- Oh!
- No!
Ladies and gentlemen,
keep it going for the Maize.
- No way, no way, no way!
- Are you kidding?
Mermaid and Robo Girl,
head on back to the lair
and prepare for
the Battle Royale.
Let's give it up
for the Maize.
We're so sorry
to see you leave,
but we can't wait to see
who you are.
All right, panel,
what are your final guesses?
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber?
Whoever it is has got
a most fantastic young voice,
and I'd love to work with you.
- Oh, that's a prize!
- Anytime.
Forget about this show, Maize.
You just got a job
with one of the legends.
- That's right!
- But the trouble is that
I don't know your voice,
but I only have to go
by the clues,
and I'm a little bit
of a puzzler.
He said, "shine like a king."
Could it be Jack White?
Because he played Elvis
in a movie?
- Oh.
- What?
The "Frozen" clue
makes me think of snow,
- and snow is white.
- All: White.
And that's why I think
you might be Jack White.
Jenny: I like it.
- I like it.
- All right.
Either way, you just got a job.
- Jenny: You got a job!
- I loved Jack White.
Nick:
Robin, what you got?
It's a tough one,
but Statue of Liberty
makes me New Yorker.
And then the bird, "Birdcage."
I think this is Nathan Lane.
- Okay.
- No, it's not Nathan Lane.
I'm not sure about Nathan Lane,
but I was thinking
about another New Yorker.
He was a huge star
in "Sex in the City."
I think this could be
Mario Cantone.
Good guess.
For me, the TV/movie/host clue
makes me think this is someone
who can do it all,
like "SNL's" Bowen Yang.
Amazing singer.
He said doing impressions.
He's done one of me.
I was very flattered.
This is Bowen Yang.
Who do you think, Nicole?
Definitely those are some
big Broadway vocals to me.
So I'm gonna go
with Jonathan Groff.
- Jonathan Groff.
Good guess, good guess.
- Ken: I love it.
All right, panel,
your final guesses are in,
so let's see if
any of you are correct.
Audience, say it with me.
- All: Take it off!
- Who is this?
- All: Take it off!
- Who is it?
- Who is this?
- ♪ Who are you?
Oh, my God.
It's gonna drive me crazy
- Nicole: Oh, my God.
- ♪ I really wanna know
♪ Oh, I really wanna know
Take it off! Take it off!
♪ You, you, you, are you?
Singer, actor, comedian--
the legend,
my man, Mario Cantone!
Wow.
Where'd you pull that out?
- That was awesome.
- Amazing.
- You were amazing.
- I know!
- Amazing!
- Wow!
The hilarious, multitalented
Mario Cantone.
- You killed it, my brother.
- Well, thank you.
- Yes.
- And to do this in front of
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber.
- Bravo.
- And he gave you
so many compliments.
- Tell me about this moment.
- Well, I'll live on that
for the rest of my life.
I think you're incredible.
I think you guys
should really work together.
You know the best thing
is you said I was young.
- Ha, ha, ha!
- Uh-huh.
You sounded so fresh,
and it was a wonderful way
you hit all those top notes.
- Oh, thank you.
- And thank you very, very much
because was great
to hear you sing like that.
Thank you.
It was a thrill.
It was a thrill.
Now, Mario, we definitely
know you to have fun
and you're a great comedian,
a great performer.
But to hear this voice
and to hear you be
so serious as a--
Well, that's why I did this,
because I want people
to know I can sing.
I do a lot of Broadway benefits,
and every time I do one,
people say,
- "I didn't know
you could sing."
- Yeah.
That's the beauty of this show,
to have this platform
for people like you
to show your true
God-given talent,
so thank you for that.
Thank you very much.
Indeed. Ladies and gentlemen,
keep it going one more time.
- Love you.
- It's been such
a pleasure having you.
- Hang out with us
for the rest of the show.
- I will. Where am I gonna go?
You go back there.
You'll be in the VIP section.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Maize, Mario Cantone.
I had no idea that
he could sing like that.
Nick: This show
is full of surprises.
And up next,
Mermaid and Robo Girl
are going head-to-head
in another battle royale
for the crown
right after the break.
♪ Who is that?
Announcer:
The time has come
for the battle royale!
- Let's go!
- The Mermaid and Robo Girl
are about to go head-to-head
in a high stakes battle royale
for the crown,
as they each put their own twist
on a true
Andrew Lloyd Webber classic.
- Let the battle commence.
- Oh, this is gonna be good.

- Yes!
- Yes!
- Wow! Wow!
- She was amazing.
Nicole:
They're both amazing.
- Wow.
- Man.
If I may say so myself,
that might be the best
battle royale we've ever seen.
Without question.
Ever! Ever!
- Ever!
- By far.
That was a real battle.
Panel, you got your work
cut out for you.
Wow.
First of all, I just
wanna give it up right now
for the legend that
is right here next to us
- who actually
wrote that song.
- I love that song.
Nicole: He wrote all these
unbelievable songs tonight.
It's kind of surreal
that he's with us.
I mean,
there's never in history--
we're never gonna have
other songs like this again.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- Thank you, Andrew.
- Andrew: Thank you, guys.
- Come on. Thank you.
- I mean, it's crazy.
- We're not worthy!
- We're not worthy, man.
- Thank you so much.
But can I just say,
you've got two totally different
interpretations of the song.
And, Mermaid, I mean,
it was wonderful to hear it
in this sort of this rather
voluptuous lower key.
And, of course,
when we're hearing it sung
in the higher key,
it's much closer to the key
that I wrote it in.
But both of them were really,
really fantastic.
And I'm humbled,
the fact that I hear my songs
sung so well by both of you.
Nick: Couldn't say it
any better.
And with that, panel,
the pressure is on.
Ugh.
Nick: Your votes determine
who stays and who goes.
- Oh, God.
- Start voting now.
Aah! Uh-oh.
Oh, this is gonna be
so hard. Oh!
We'll have the results
and another unmasking
after the break.
♪ Who is that?
Let's go right
into the results.
This round's first queen is...
Oh, my gosh.
After that battle royale,
we don't have a loser.
They were both amazing.
Andrew.
- Robo Girl!
- Jenny: Oh, my gosh!
- Congratulations, Robo Girl.
- Wow!
She is celebrating.
You are one step closer
to the Golden Mask Trophy.
And look at this!
You have
Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber
- coming to knight you
personally!
- Jenny: Wow!
- Epic!
- That is epic.
Take a knee right there.
- Nicole: Wow.
- Giving you your staff.
- Head on back and enjoy
being our new queen.
- Wow!
Robo Girl!
All: Robo Girl!
Robo Girl!
Robo Girl! Robo Girl!
So let's keep it going
for Mermaid!
Mermaid, you were amazing.
- Aww.
- We hate to see you go,
- but we can't wait
to see who you are.
- Yes.
But first, panel,
you guys gotta give us
your final guesses.
I am getting mega legend vibes,
for sure.
- Absolutely.
- She talked about an anthem.
"Killing Me Softly."
That's an anthem.
- I think this
is Roberta Flack.
- Ooh.
- Nicole: Wow.
- Okay. Robin, what you got?
The clues were about surviving
and overcoming obstacles.
No one is a bigger survivor
than this woman.
Her song exemplifies survival
and should be
in the Library of Congress.
I think the Mermaid
is Gloria Gaynor.
- Nicole: Yeah!
That's a good guess!
- That's a good guess.
Ken, who do you think it is?
The Mermaid has to be Cher.
- She was in
the movie "Mermaids."
- Oh, come on!
Hey. Let me finish.
I believe this is Cher!
Nicole,
what's your final guess?
I'm thinking it's one
of Robin or Jenny's guesses
because the vinyl applies
to both beautiful legends,
and so does
the music movie clues.
- However...
- Here she goes.
...going off of my Golden Ear.
That's right.
I've got the trophy everybody.
I think this is Gloria Gaynor,
and I'm honored to say
that we follow each other
on Instagram.
There it is!
Gloria Gaynor, everyone!
What is your final guess,
Lord Webber?
It is definitely Gloria Estefan,
because that voice
is just most remarkable voice.
And if it's not Gloria,
I'm the greatest fan
of whoever it is.
Well, all right, we got
the panel's final guesses.
Let's see if you guys are right.
Audience, say it with me.

for coming here

- Nicole: Wow.
Yes!
Nick: You are a truly
and icon and a legend.
- Whoo!
- You got Robin Thicke
standing on the table.
Everyone is on their feet.
We have guessed you
every single season
and we have been wrong.
And I had a gut feeling
from the clues
and that voice,
and we are so honored.
- So honored.
- You look gorgeous.
- You sang gorgeous.
- Thank you.
Thank you for blessing us.
- Jenny: Amazing.
- Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you.
Do you know,
what an honor for me
to hear you live like this.
Well, it was my honor.
Thank you.
You are one of the greatest
singers of our generation.
Thank you.
So what made you do
"The Masked Singer,"
if you don't mind me asking,
Ms. Gaynor?
Well, I've been watching it.
It just looked like
so much fun.
I said,
"Yeah, I gotta do this."
And you are stunning
as the Mermaid!
- Thank you.
- Oh!
Is there anything
you wanna say to our panel
or your fans
at home watching?
I love you all.
Keep watching, keep living,
and most of all,
keep loving and surviving.
- Yes!
- Oh! Oh!
Nick: Said it like a true icon
and a true legend.
All right, well,
that's it for this week.
Robo Girl will come back
next time
to face two
brand new challengers
in Muppet Night!
