The Masked Singer: A Winner Has Been Crowned! Find Out Who Was Under the Masks All Along

The Masked Singer might be the most bonkers reality show that's been on TV for some time, but nevertheless, I couldn't help but find myself fascinated by the mystery of which celebrity was lurking behind each of those bizarre, nightmarish masks that look like rejected outfits from the Spy Kids costume department.

Hosted by Nick Cannon, the Fox reality competition series is the US remake of the popular South Korean show King of Mask Singer. It began with 12 singing celebrities, with one being eliminated each week. The catch? Each of the contestants wears head-to-toe costumes, concealing every inch of their identities from not only the audience but also the panelists and other contestants. Panelists Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke receive small hints about who the singer might be over the course of the show, then try to guess their identities.

Warning: spoilers for The Masked Singer to follow!

Now the show has finally unmasked the final three competitors! Monster, Peacock, and Bee came in first, second, and third place, respectively, and I have to say, I'm pretty satisfied with the panelist's choices. Find out who has been under those masks all along, ahead!

Who Is the Monster on The Masked Singer?
Fox

Who Is the Monster on The Masked Singer?

In addition to having a love of Gavin DeGraw's "I Don't Want To Be," we knew that the Monster is from the South and (might) have a Cadillac. He mentioned that he's going to "rewrite" his mixtape and prove to audiences that he's more than "puff and fluff." According to the Monster, he was at the top of his game, "but the game turned on" him, and he took a break from the public eye. He also said "not everyone" would consider him a professional singer,

The mention of mixtapes, the game, and not everyone seeing him as a singer suggests the Monster is a rapper who's trying to break free from being pigeonholed into that genre. If he's indeed a southern rapper, his voice sounds a great deal like T-Pain (from Tallahassee, FL), who we know from his Tiny Desk performance has a beautiful singing voice, period.

The Monster Is . . . T-Pain!

Yep, it's T-Pain! The "Buy U a Drank" musician was not only unveiled but also crowned the winner of the whole shebang.

Who Is the Peacock on The Masked Singer?
Fox

Who Is the Peacock on The Masked Singer?

It was obvious from the Peacock's first performance that he was a natural performer and clearly had experience singing onstage. His other big clues were: he chose to be the Peacock because he has a "love of the spotlight," has been performing since he was 5 years old, can play piano, and has performing "in [his] DNA."

He also told the panelists he was "dear" friends with Michael Jackson and said, "It's probably been a while since your mom had a poster of me on her bedroom wall." Former teen idol, eh?

Donny Osmond had a longtime friendship with Jackson, the King of Pop, and has been performing since he was a kid. Osmond would also make the poster comment check out, as well as having performing in his DNA (he was a part of his family's band, The Osmonds). As a talk- and game-show host, record producer, and author, you could also say he clearly loves the spotlight.

The Peacock Is . . . Donny Osmond!

The Peacock Is . . . Donny Osmond!

He came in second during the show's finale.

Who Is the Bee on The Masked Singer?
Fox

Who Is the Bee on The Masked Singer?

A quick breakdown of what we knew about the Bee: she had a "long career" and never wanted to stop doing what she loves; she said the nickname "Empress" suits her; and she said she wants to sing for "a whole new generation," since she first started singing "in the '50s." Her clues also included a photo of tennis balls! I mean, it had to be Gladys Knight, right?! It sounded just like her.

Who Is the Rabbit on The Masked Singer?
Fox

Who Is the Rabbit on The Masked Singer?

The Rabbit said that he spent most of his life on stage but never by himself, he "pops" up here and there, and that "synchronized singing" is his forte, suggesting he is a former member of a boy band. There's also a sign in one of his videos that says "Brooklyn pizza," and there are continued allusions to the fact he's a magician.

We initially guessed it was *NSYNC's Joey Fatone, who hails from Brooklyn and practices magic as a hobby, but the judges thought it could be Nick Lachey or even judge Jenny McCarthy's husband, Donnie Wahlberg.

The Rabbit Is . . . Joey Fatone!
Fox

The Rabbit Is . . . Joey Fatone!

Yep, it was Fatone all along! His identity was revealed during the Feb. 20 episode's surprise double elimination.

Who Is the Lion on The Masked Singer?
Fox

Who Is the Lion on The Masked Singer?

The Lion said using her voice to help others "has always been very important" and was pictured alongside a bunch of protesters. She mentioned that some think she's from "Hollywood royalty" and that there are a lot of women in her "pride." She also told the judges that they were way off base when they suggested she's from a girl group — they were blown away by her voice — and shot down suggestions she's Hailey Baldwin after holding up a newspaper with the headline "Gold Found in Hailey."

So, who could it be? We guessed Rumer Willis for a few reasons. She's on Empire, which is about the Lyon family, and has already proved her onstage abilities on Dancing With the Stars and in Chicago. She also has a few sisters, which explains her predominantly female pride, and her father had a home for years in Hailey, Idaho, so that's what the newspaper likely means.

The Lion Is . . . Rumer Willis!
Fox

The Lion Is . . . Rumer Willis!

During the double elimination on Feb. 20, Willis was axed first. At least she still has her Dancing With the Stars Mirrorball trophy!

Who Is the Alien on The Masked Singer?
Fox

Who Is the Alien on The Masked Singer?

The Alien, who was revealed on Feb. 13, said that her family name is famous and that we may think she's "out of fashion." She also declares that "no one will ever control" her again, and that this is "the first time the world gets to hear my voice on my terms." Later, she says she has "many sisters."

Her performance of "Feel It Still" seemed like a pretty good match for La Toya Jackson (seriously — just listen!). It would also make sense given her comments about having a famous family and control issues (it could be a nod to her father and husband, as well as Janet Jackson's album Control).

The Alien Is . . . La Toya Jackson!

The Alien Is . . . La Toya Jackson!

Despite some judges guessing Nicole Richie AND Sofia Richie, the Alien is indeed La Toya Jackson.

Who Is the Raven on The Masked Singer?
Fox

Who Is the Raven on The Masked Singer?

The Raven's identity was still a mystery until the Feb. 6 episode. According to the clues, we knew that whoever was under the mask has listened to "other people's stories" her entire life and that "no one talks like" her. The Raven also says that she's suffered "the loss of my beloved," but "like a phoenix," she'll rise again.

Weirdly, there was also a pregnancy test clue in one of the previous clips, and the Raven also notes that "no one recognized" her beauty until "a man" took her away from her flock. The year 1968 is included as a clue, too.

The Raven Is . . . Ricki Lake!
Fox

The Raven Is . . . Ricki Lake!

Thanks to the clues that suggested it was a talk-show host (mentions of listening to stories and speaking in front of an audience), we had a feeling Ricki Lake would be the woman behind the mask. Most of the judges felt the same, although some did guess Raven-Symoné might be under there.

Who Is the Unicorn on The Masked Singer?
Fox

Who Is the Unicorn on The Masked Singer?

Before we figured out who the Unicorn really was, we were given a few clues: she's crafty, 5'6", from Beverly Hills, and apparently always wanted to sing. (When she sings on the show, though, Robin Thicke quips, "She doesn't sound like a trained singer.") Also, her nickname is "Bird," and she discusses quite a bit how she has low self-esteem. So, who is she?

The Unicorn Is . . . Tori Spelling!
Fox

The Unicorn Is . . . Tori Spelling!

After performing tracks like Icona Pop's "I Love It" and Rachel Platten's "Fight Song," it was finally revealed that 90210 actress Tori Spelling has been the Unicorn all along. It makes sense, too, given how she's from Beverly Hills, had a tumultuous childhood, and has had self-esteem issues in the public eye.

Who Is the Poodle on The Masked Singer?
Fox

Who Is the Poodle on The Masked Singer?

The Poodle's clues were as follows: she's been around "for years," she "practices new material" (suggesting she's a comedian), and she's "sassy and smart and best in show." (Duh.) Also, she loves to be onstage, is from (or lives in) San Francisco, mentions she does stand-up, and her career centers on "exercising her right to free speech" (a rainbow flag pops up in the background when she says this).

The Poodle Is . . . Margaret Cho!
Fox

The Poodle Is . . . Margaret Cho!

Although some panelists guessed Jillian Michaels and Kathy Griffin, it was actually Margaret Cho! The San Francisco-born comedian, actress, fashion designer, author, and singer is most well-known for her scathing stand-up routines, where she isn't afraid of calling out hot-button social and political issues.

Who Is the Deer on The Masked Singer?
Fox

Who Is the Deer on The Masked Singer?

When it came time to guess who the Deer was, we got clues about his height (6'3"), his "incredibly competitive" nature, and his origins (he had a slight Southern accent and mentioned the "Wild Wild West"). He also said, "Ravens, beware."

The Deer Is . . . Terry Bradshaw!
Fox

The Deer Is . . . Terry Bradshaw!

Now the "Ravens, beware" comment makes sense! The former NFL player was on the Steelers, which is rivals with the Baltimore Ravens. This also speaks to his competitive nature. His height also checks out, and the "Wild Wild West" comment was likely a reference to his country music career (he's released five albums).

Fox

Who Is the Pineapple on The Masked Singer?

The Pineapple introduced himself to the judges by saying he's "cool and tropical and goes well with ham," making Robin Thicke guess that he's a surfer of some kind (LOL). He also says he's an "old G" who's survived a life-threatening disease, and a bumper sticker on his car says "pipe dream."

The Pinapple Is . . . Tommy Chong!
Fox

The Pinapple Is . . . Tommy Chong!

Comedian Tommy Chong's rough performance of "I Will Survive" got him nixed from the competition early, but he seemed to be in pretty good spirits about the whole thing.

Who Is the Hippo on The Masked Singer?
Fox

Who Is the Hippo on The Masked Singer?

The Hippo's first few clues include: saying he's a competitor, and that breakfast is the most important meal of the day for him; he's "used to performing in a mask in front of thousands of screaming fans," suggesting a sport of some kind; he also says that every time he wins, he's just "gotta dance."

The Hippo Is . . . Antonio Brown!
Fox

The Hippo Is . . . Antonio Brown!

We've got another Steelers alum in the house! The NFL wide receiver was the first competitor to be revealed, after going up against the Peacock. His clues totally jive with Brown's athletic career, since he played both football and track in high school, and has obviously gone on to professional success.
