Will luck bring fortune tonight? Three celebrities are hoping for the best as the Group A finals begin. With two shocking unmaskings already behind us, the next elimination will surely continue the trend of unexpected surprises.
The Masked Singer is celebrating the Rat Pack, taking viewers to a Las Vegas-inspired night where the remaining three celebrities take a chance and hope for a big win.
Robin Thicke opens the night with his own tribute, performing Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon.” His smooth vocals set the perfect mood for the evening.
Coral, Paparazzo, and Ant join the fun, and the stage lights up with excitement. This performance is something you might expect to see in a Las Vegas casino, but here it is in Hollywood, as The Masked Singer’s Group A finals deliver another thrilling night.
Before the competition begins, host Nick Cannon reveals that two masked celebrities will advance to the “Lucky Six.” That means the Ding Dong Keep It On Bell will not be used this season.
This change is welcomed, as losing two contestants in the group finals was always tough. This season, things are different, and luck is definitely in the air. Speaking of luck, a new character is about to shake things up—get ready to meet Detective Lucky Duck.
Coral’s Performance Shines with Broadway-Level Talent
Coral takes the stage first. She shares that she has a deep connection to the Rat Pack era. In her clue package, she says the music reminds her of her father. Growing up on the East Coast, she has fond memories of driving along the shore while listening to classics from Mickey Blue Eyes and Sammy Davis Jr.
She mentions moving from the Atlantic to the Pacific, stepping out of her comfort zone, and finding her place in a new world. She credits her father for helping her adjust, sharing dad jokes to keep her spirits up.
Her clue package includes a class ring that says “Class TMS,” leading the panel to think of High School Musical. Other visuals include a ghost and a UFO, which hint at a connection to supernatural or sci-fi themes. These clues seem to suggest a Disney connection.
For her performance, Coral sings “Luck Be A Lady,” a song that was special to her and her father. Her voice fits the classic song perfectly, and she adds a theatrical touch that makes the performance stand out. She delivers a dramatic breakdown in the middle of the song, impressing the panel. They see her as the frontrunner.
As part of the night’s special theme, each contestant gets a slot machine clue. Coral’s slot machine reveals apples. She says, “If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere!” This hint makes Robin Thicke guess Victoria Justice, while Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg suggests Rachel Zegler because of the “Z” on Coral’s costume. Rita Ora considers Camila Mendes as a possibility.
Based on the clues, Coral seems to be a Disney actress with experience in musicals. Her background in superhero and supernatural projects makes Meg Donnelly a strong possibility. She has sung in the Zombies franchise, and her voice matches Coral’s performance. Tonight might just be our lucky night in guessing her identity!
Paparazzo Drops Clues About His Italian Heritage
Paparazzo’s costume fits perfectly with the Rat Pack theme. He shares that his entire family loves the Rat Pack, and he has strong Italian roots. He reveals that when his family moved from the old country, they tried to blend into American life. When he started his career, he had to change his last name because agencies struggled to pronounce it.
His clue package includes two electric guitars and a drum, suggesting that he may have played music with a sibling. However, he makes it clear that he is not part of the Jonas Brothers.
Paparazzo performed “That’s Amore” by Dean Martin, bringing a fun and lively energy to the stage. The performance gets the audience involved, with everyone singing along. The excitement even makes Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg hungry for pizza!
For his slot machine clue, Paparazzo reveals Frankenstein. He says monsters under the bed are scary, but on screen, they aren’t so bad. He knows this from personal experience. This clue makes Robin Thicke think of Cole Sprouse, referencing his role in Big Daddy.
Ken Jeong strongly believes Paparazzo is Michael Cera, while Jenny throws out multiple names, including Henry Thomas and Joey Lawrence. However, she also considers that it might be someone related to Joey Lawrence.
Based on all the hints, Paparazzo appears to be Matthew Lawrence. His background in entertainment, Italian heritage, and past roles all align with the clues.
Ant’s Performance Heats Up the Stage
Ant brings a bold energy to the competition. She is excited to perform on Rat Pack night and shares that she was once part of a group, just like an ant colony. She describes her former bandmates as the sisters she never had.
However, despite their success, they faced tough challenges, including long hours, harsh working conditions, and intense criticism. She credits her group with giving her the strength to continue her career.
Her clue package includes a giant lollipop, confirming that she is a pop star. Given the new information, it’s time to rethink past guesses.
Ant performs “Fever” by Peggy Lee, delivering a sultry and attractive performance. She brings flirtation and jazz energy to the stage, proving she has versatility beyond pop music. The performance might be her best in the competition.
For her slot machine clue, Ant reveals a Moon Man. She explains that while she doesn’t live where the Moon Man is from, wherever he landed is where her career started. This is a clear reference to MTV. A previous clue also showed a tree with an “X,” possibly hinting at Making the Band, a reality show about forming a girl group.
These clues give the panel what it needs. Ken Jeong suggests Mel B from the Spice Girls, while Rita Ora considers Charli XCX. However, the X clue doesn’t seem to match perfectly. The real answer becomes clear soon enough.
The Results Shake Up the Competition
The audience and panel vote, and Paparazzo is safe, earning a spot in the Lucky Six. This means Coral and Ant must compete in the Battle Royale. Each singer performed “My Way.” Ant adds a 90s R&B twist, while Coral stays true to the original, hitting powerful final notes.
Before the results are revealed, the studio goes dark, and the mysterious Detective Lucky Duck makes his debut. He is here to help the panel with their guesses and reveals that both remaining singers have been on chart-topping albums.
After the votes are counted, Coral is chosen to move on, leaving Ant to be unmasked. For a final clue, Ant reveals that she holds a world record but jokes that she has too many to count.
The panel makes their last guesses. Rita picks Charli XCX, Ken sticks with Mel B, Jenny guesses Evan Rachel Wood, and Robin correctly identifies Ant as Aubrey O’Day from Danity Kane! Her strength and resilience have made a lasting impact, and she delivered incredible performances throughout the competition.
