Last night as the grand finale of the smash FOX celebrity singing competition show, “The Masked Singer.” We’ve kept you up to date along the whole season two journey, as disguised stars faced off in song for a chance at the golden mask.
- Last night, the Rottweiler, Fox and Flamingo sang their masks off one last time before the all-star panel of judges crowned the big winner… and revealed just who has been dominating the stage all season. Here’s what happened:
- First up was Fox, who the judges have been calling Jamie Foxx all season. He brought the soul – and of course, the dance moves – with a rendition of Otis Redding’s “Try A Little Tenderness.” He even poked some fun at the panel’s wrong guesses with an original rap verse! The judges loved it… but we still can’t tell if they were joking when they named Jamie Foxx for some of their final guesses – although Robin Thicke did throw in Wayne Brady.
- Next up was Flamingo, proving once and for all that she has the pipes to win with a high-energy performance of Tina Turner’s classic “Proud Mary.” The judges were floored, and Flamingo was brought to tears by all the props they gave her. As for the guesses, all Jenny McCarthy and Robin agreed that she could be Adrienne Bailon. Ken, of course, loves the unpopular guesses, so he threw in Fergie.
- Rottweiler wrapped up the evening’s performances, once again showing off his vocal chops with a powerful, and honestly kind of rock n’ roll, version of Sia’s “Alive.” Robin in particular was impressed, shouting Rottweiler out for being “the strongest vocalist” in the competition. As for their final guesses, the judges couldn’t agree on one, throwing Darren Criss, Dave Franco and Jason Mraz out there.
- Then it was time for the big moment – a triple unmasking. The first to be eliminated was, surprisingly, Flamingo, who was revealed to be… Adrienne Bailon! The judges nailed it with their guesses. Despite not nabbing the big prize, Flamingo was over the moon, thanking everyone for the “life-changing” experience.
- The second to go Rottweiler, and it turns out the judges were way off with their guesses all season. Rottweiler was revealed to be… “American Idol” finalist Chris Daughtry! He revealed that his kids have no idea that he’s been competing on the show, so he’s “pumped” for their reaction to his big finale.
You know what that means – Fox was the big winner! It was a well-deserved victory after serving pipes and moves all season. The judges threw out their final guesses, a tie between Jamie Foxx and Wayne Brady – and one half was correct. Fox was revealed to be… Wayne Brady!
The “Let’s Make A Deal” host and “Whose Line” star said he’s taking his “Masked Singer” experience with him “forever,” and is so happy he finally gets to write “his own story” by showcasing his singing talent in such an epic way – especially since he’s putting out an original album soon. Check out his first single, “Flirtin’ With Forever,” to the right.
Well, that’s a wrap on the second season of “The Masked Singer” on FOX. Here’s to many more!
