It’s Miley Cyrus Night on The Masked Singer Season 12, and things are about to get wild. With only four contestants left in Group C, the excitement is at its peak.
As the performers take the stage, the night brings an energetic celebration of Miley’s impressive career.
From her early Disney days to her transformation into a global pop star, the show highlights her influence and the lasting impact she has had on the music industry.
The contestants are here to pay tribute to Miley and her unforgettable songs, but it’s not just about the music; it’s also about the clues, the mystery, and, of course, the fun.
The Show Kicks Off with a Miley Classic
The evening begins with a bang as the remaining four contestants—Strawberry Shortcake, Sherlock Hound, Royal Knight, and Ice King—take the stage for a fun and lively group performance. They sing Miley Cyrus’s hit “Party in the USA.”
This energetic performance sets the tone for the night, and it’s a perfect introduction to the celebration of Miley’s music.
The contestants show off their vocal skills, making it clear that they’re ready to take on the challenge of performing one of Miley’s most iconic songs. The energy is contagious, and everyone is ready to see what each contestant has in store for the rest of the evening.
As the contestants perform, fans can’t help but wonder: who are these talented masked singers behind the costumes? Each of them brings something unique to the stage, making the mystery even more thrilling.
The night is filled with moments that leave viewers guessing, and the clues continue to pile up as the performances unfold.
Sherlock Hound Stumps the Panel with His Clue Package
The first solo performance of the evening comes from Sherlock Hound, who has the panel stumped with his clues. In his clue package, Sherlock Hound mentions that, like Miley, he was once known for being free-spirited and full of fun.
He reflects on his past, describing himself as someone who was always seeking out challenges and pushing boundaries. As a young man, he says he ran wild and crazy, always ready for the next adventure.
The clues continue to unfold as Sherlock Hound talks about a major challenge he faced: breaking a nearly century-long curse.
He explains how many others had tried and failed before him, but he succeeded in a big way. He was able to get his team out of trouble, earning a place in history. This is a significant clue, but what does it mean?
Then, the clue package offers a hint involving a stuffed bull and a bullpen. These details suggest that Sherlock Hound could be related to baseball in some way.
The mention of the bullpen and the curse points directly to the Boston Red Sox and their legendary World Series win, which ended the “Curse of the Bambino.” The mystery grows deeper, and fans are left to wonder which famous baseball figure might be behind the mask.
For his performance, Sherlock Hound sings Miley Cyrus’s song “Used to Be Young.” It’s a softer side of him that surprises many viewers. His voice is powerful yet tender, and the emotional depth he brings to the performance resonates with the audience.
The panel remains puzzled by the clues, and their guesses include famous rock stars like Adam Levine, Johnny Resnick, and Brandon Flowers.
However, the clues are adding up, and it’s becoming clear that Sherlock Hound is likely a famous baseball pitcher—possibly Bronson Arroyo.
His connection to the Red Sox and his ability to break a curse fits the profile perfectly. But will the panel be able to figure it out? Only time will tell.
Strawberry Shortcake Sweetens the Night
Next up is Strawberry Shortcake, who delivers a powerful performance of Miley Cyrus’s “Wrecking Ball.” In her clue package, Strawberry Shortcake reveals that Miley Night hits close to home for her. Like Miley, she has been in the public eye since a young age, and the two share similar dreams and experiences.
She also hints that they have both been through breakups and have had their hearts broken. Her video package shows images of an apple and a mug with a skull and bones, which provides more clues.
The biggest hint, however, comes when Strawberry Shortcake explains that she once shared a stage with Miley Cyrus.
The two even crossed paths in their personal lives, both having dated famous brothers. Based on this information, it’s clear that Strawberry Shortcake is another former Disney star.
And just like Miley, she has ties to the Jonas Brothers. The panel starts to form guesses, considering stars like Hilary Duff, Ashley Tisdale, and Chloe Fineman. But the biggest clue points to a former Disney star who once dated Joe Jonas—AJ Michalka!
When Strawberry Shortcake takes the stage to sing “Wrecking Ball,” it’s clear that she has the vocal control and power to bring Miley’s iconic song to new heights. Her performance is attracting, and she manages to make the song her own.
The song sounds even grander than the original, thanks to her powerful voice. The judges are in awe, and it’s clear that Strawberry Shortcake has the chops to compete with the best.
Royal Knight’s Emotional Performance
The next contestant, Royal Knight, has a clue package that is a bit more mysterious than the others. She talks about the different chapters of her life, describing how she has felt broken by a series of bad relationships and betrayals.
Despite this, she continues to fight for love and strength. She reflects on how, during a difficult time, she found someone who became her beacon of light, guiding her through the darkness.
Her emotional story is touching, and it’s clear that Royal Knight has gone through some difficult times. She mentions how the person she found in her life now calls her a warrior, and she draws strength from this.
This clue connects to her performance of Miley’s “When I Look at You,” a song that brings out the emotional depth of her voice.
Royal Knight’s performance is moving, with a slight country twang that adds a unique touch to the song. Her vocal strength shines through, and she can attract an audience.
The clue package also hints at a connection to a gumball machine, which leads the panel to make some guesses about who Royal Knight could be. Could she be connected to last season’s Gumball?
The panel starts to piece things together, considering stars like Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Kate Hudson.
But as the clues continue to build, it becomes clear that Royal Knight is likely country singer and actress Jana Kramer, who once starred on Friday Night Lights before embarking on a successful country music career.
Her latest single, “Warrior,” fits perfectly with her warrior-like persona. Royal Knight’s emotional journey and powerful performance make her a standout contestant.
Ice King’s Personal Story and Strong Performance
The last contestant of the night is Ice King, whose clue package reveals a deeply personal story. Ice King talks about his struggles with the media and how he has faced a firestorm of press in recent months.
He explains that, like Miley Cyrus, he has been through his own share of media scrutiny, and this year, he finally decided to tell his truth to the world. Unfortunately, the moment the story was released, he instantly regretted it. He wanted to take it back, but the story was already out there.
Ice King reveals that he felt frozen, stuck in the aftermath of the media storm. But once he saw how many people could relate to his story, he began to feel a sense of relief.
He doesn’t need everyone to understand him, but he is ready to move on. This personal journey adds another layer to his performance and reveals a vulnerability that connects him to Miley Cyrus in a meaningful way.
For his performance, Ice King sings Miley’s “Midnight Sky,” showcasing a more mature vocal style. His voice is distinct, and his pop tenor fits the song perfectly.
The Men in Black reveal a Teen Choice Award surfboard from 2008, which points to a Nickelodeon star who received the award that year—Drake Bell.
The panel guesses a variety of names, including Joe Jonas and Shia LaBeouf, but the clues point directly to Drake Bell, best known for his role on Drake & Josh.
Despite his strong performance, Ice King is the lowest-scoring contestant of the night. The panel guesses incorrectly, but the identity of Ice King is soon revealed.
He is none other than Drake Bell, who recently opened up about his struggles in the documentary Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. His bravery and willingness to tell his story make his return to the spotlight an inspiring moment.
The Night Ends with a Thanksgiving Treat

And in a special Thanksgiving treat, The Masked Singer will air a Peanuts-themed episode on Thanksgiving Night, adding even more excitement to the season.
