The Masked Singer: Season 11 has three performers remaining!
Clock, Goldfish, and Gumball faced off for two spots in the Season 11 finale tonight. Who were the lucky two performers who earned a chance to hold the Golden Mask in their hands next week? Which singer was forced to join Chrissy Metz, Colton Underwood, Jenifer Lewis, Ruben Studdard, and Clay Aiken in the Season 11 Elimination Club? Did the panelists (Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Robin Thicke, and Rita Ora) correctly deduce the eliminated singer’s true identity?
Read on to find out!
Author’s Note: Due to a previous engagement, I was not able to catch Gumball’s performance.
Clock Mask tackled the iconic “Dancing in the Streets” for her chance to enter the finals! I still believe that music legend Thelma Houston is behind the mask. Her super clue was six gold bars, revealing she was on Solid Gold. Robin thought it was Stephanie Mills, and Jenny thought it was Roberta Flack. Meanwhile, Rita suggested Thelma Houston (Ding! Ding! Ding). However, Jenny decided to get one more clue and hit the Blue Button for a Prime delivery, which delivered a pair of roller skates. She doubled down her guess of Roberta Flack.
Goldfish returned to the Masked Singer stage for her semifinal performance! She rocked out with Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know.” It was great seeing an edgier side of Vanessa Hudgens, who deserves a spot in the finale. Sadly, Goldfish missed giving a hug to Rita Ora. Her semifinal super clue was Anonymouse Mask (which could be either Demi Lovato or Disney). Rita doubled down with her guess of Vanessa Hudgens and suggested Masked Dancer panelist Ashley Tisdale. Meanwhile, Jenny brought Demi’s former best friend, Selena Gomez, into the mix. Robin still doubled down on his guess of Hillary Duff.
In the final Battle Royale of Season 11, all three masks performed Kelly Clarkson’s “A Moment Like This.” Clock’s version gave me goosebumps, while Gumball’s pop-rock version got better toward the end. Goldfish sang the original version, and it felt like a coronation song.
The Masked Singer audience and panel voted and Clock was sent home! Robin went with Stephanie Mills, while Jenny stood by her guess of Roberta Flack. Ken stupidly guessed Janet Jackson, while Rita Ora doubled down her guess of Thelma Houston.
RITA AND I WERE RIGHT: THELMA HOUSTON WAS CLOCK MASK!
Next week, Gumball & Goldfish duke it out to become The Masked Singer: Season 11 WINNER!
