It's Soundtrack of My Life Night

on "The Masked Singer," and I have more than a feeling

that our top five have come to play.

Make some noise for 'em.

♪ I looked out this morning and the sun was gone ♪

♪ Turned on some music to start my day ♪

♪ I lost myself in a familiar song ♪

♪ Closed my eyes

- Yes, yes, yes, yes! - Yeah!

- Wow. - Wow.

- Yes! - ( powering down )

- What? - Wait. What happened?

- What? - What happened? What happened?

- Oh. - ( quacking )

- Oh, no! - It's this guy again.

He's quack!

( musical sting )

Ahh.

- Ugh, this guy again! - I missed you, too.

You guys don't know me, but I sure know you.

- Oh. - I'm Detective Lucky Duck.

- Rita: Hey! - Jenny: Yes!

( no audible dialogue )

- Well, help us out then. - Panel, I have uncovered something explosive

about one of these famous masks.

- Jenny: Okay, give it to us. - Turns out,

they have stolen something very valuable from you...

- What? - ...Robin.

- Uh-oh. - Oh!

One of them stole something from me?

Is there an echo in here?

- It must be a number one position of some sort. - Yes. Exactly.

- Position on the charts. - Uh-huh.

Chew on that. Duck flying out.

- ( quacking ) - Aww, we love you, really, ducky.

- Nick: The duck has spoken! - Ken: Wow.

Will that help our panel? We'll know soon enough.

Now make some noise for our fearless, ferociously talented five!

- Great job, y'all! We'll see you in a bit. - Wow.

It's Soundtrack of My Life Night,

where the masks are singing songs that have special meaning to them.

And we're hearing from those closest to them.

Oh!

Our first secret celeb of the night is Coral.

- Rita: Let's go! - Jenny: Yes!

And as we're about to find out, she's a dream to work with,

according to a former co-star.

And this story is full of clues.

I mean, the soundtrack to my life is Avril all the way, baby.

So I'm here to throw it to my favorite skater boy.

And he's probably yours, too.

Man, Coral's come so far since we joined forces six years ago.

I'll never forget when we first met.

It was during a huge audition, and we were both so nervous.

- Flowers. - Lily. Flowers. Is that a song?

We had to do a chemistry read,

and part of that was us having to stand really close together

and literally just staring into each other's eyes before the scene.

- ( crickets ) - So awkward.

But something really special happened in that moment.

We became instant BFFs.

And we both got the parts that changed our lives together.

Uh-oh, musical. "High School Musical," maybe?

Oh!

And that same magic is happening here.

I've never been more proud to see her owning this stage.

And I can't wait to watch her rock out tonight.

- Whoo! - Whoo!

Rock and roll.

Wow. Everybody is on their feet for Coral.

- Rita, talk to her. - I mean, Coral, that is a way to open the show!

- That was wild! - Ken: Yeah!

- Robin: Whoo! - You've made your mark.

You've proved your point. You're here to fight.

The competition has just gone "whoop"!

- So thank you so much. That was wild. Thank you. - Ken: Well said.

All right, now, Coral, in the package, we learned about your bestie.

But is there anyone else who influenced the soundtrack to your life?

Oh, yes. Definitely my parents.

They've been there for me through the great times

and the really difficult times in my life,

and I truly would be nowhere without them.

I love you, Mom and Dad!

( laughs )

- All: Aww. - ( laughs )

Nick: You guys picking up on anything?

Is it parents from a family TV show?

'Cause she said last week,

she was related to Anonymouse, which makes me think Disney.

- Yup. - Demi Lovato.

And when I asked her, she said the same family that I am in,

which I'm in the Disney franchise in "Descendants."

I feel like this could be someone that we know

that's had musical experience.

"Lizzie McGuire." Right? She was in the movies, too.

There was a movie clue. I think it was "The Wedding Pact."

The flowers. The lilies. Is this Hilary Duff?

- Ken: That's a great guess. - It could be, guys. It could be.

- That's a great guess. - Nick: Dr. Ken.

For me, looking at the clues,

I think Coral could be Ashley Tisdale.

Robin: Oh, yeah.

With the film slate meaning "High School Musical."

Wedding bouquet, happily married.

And her co-star there, Zac Efron.

- Zoink, doink, I won, 'cause you won. - You know, I like that one.

I like that one.

- Ken, that's pretty good. - Yes, Ken!

Jenny: That's pretty good. What are you thinking, Robin?

- I started to think skater boy. - Ken: Yeah?

Who's the most famous skater? Shaun White.

- Who is his fiancée? Nina Dobrev. - Ken: Oh, yeah, yeah.

- Rita: Yes. - We just saw a flower in the new package.

She was in "Perks of Being a Wallflower."

- Yeah. - Yes!

Also, we saw high school clues. She was in "Degrassi."

- Come on! Robin! You're on fire. - Yes! Robin!

- Am I doing the work? I'm not a slacker. - Yes!

- I'm not a slacker, Mom. - I'm proud of you!

Robin! Dude. You're doing it.

We're all over the place,

but I like Robin's guess the best, okay?

- Maybe. Maybe. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But that performance was outstanding.

Y'all give it up for her one more time.

Show some love for Coral.

You know what? I was really impressed.

Robin, I think me sitting next to you,

- I'm rubbing off on you. - You are.

- You're the clue guru. - ( Rita laughs )

Robin: I've been on a roll this year.

♪ Who is that?

That was so good. So good.

- Man. - What's wrong?

I want to win the Golden Ear trophy.

Well, you're gonna to win the Golden Ear.

You always win the Golden Ear.

No, Robin is on fire this season.

That's true. He does have the best ears in the music industry.

- Donnie! - Okay! But you are the Clue Queen.

- Yeah. - Yeah, now repeat after me.

- I am the Clue Queen. - I am the Clue Queen.

- I will crush Robin. - I will crush Robin!

- And his ears. - And his ears.

- And everyone on the panel. - And everyone on the panel.

- Because I am the Clue Queen. - Because I am the Clue Queen!

- I'm gonna win. - I'm gonna win!

- You got this. All right, let's go! - All right! All right!

♪ Who is that?

Welcome back to Soundtrack of My Life Night on "The Masked Singer."

- Whoo! - We got a real nailbiter on our hands.

And lots of people are betting on Nessy, including his number one fan.

Here's the scoop.

You know, I've worked my tail off to get here.

And there's one little lady I have to thank for motivating me,

and she's influenced the soundtrack of my life recently.

I'm pretty impressed my dad has made it this far.

Maybe it was all those high kicks.

- Oh, it's daughter! - Cute!

But sometimes he can be expert-level cringe.

I mean, he's constantly posting on socials.

And have you seen his music videos?

I almost died when my teacher played one in front of my whole class.

"It's 3 A.M. and I'm feeling lonely."

Rob Thomas.

And while there's a million things he does

that are, like, eye roll,

there's also a million reasons why he's the greatest.

He makes the best milkshakes.

He always helps with homework.

And he even taught me how to drive a tractor.

So, Dad, I just want to say

there's a million reasons I love you.

Good luck out there.

Just don't break a hip, okay?

Rita: Wow!

Oh, the feels. All the feels.

- Rita: Oh, my gosh. - Robin: Whoo!

( chanting ) Nessy! Nessy! Nessy! Nessy!

- The crowd is chanting Nessy. - Wow. Wow.

- Yeah. - I was, like, lost in that performance.

Ken, talk to Nessy.

This is your most open and vulnerable and authentic self.

You're showing the love of your family,

and as the father of daughters myself, I can relate.

Everything that you sang came from your heart.

- Incredible job. Great job. - Jenny: Well said, Ken.

Thank you.

I'm so glad I was wearing this mask

so y'all don't have to see me crying under here.

- Aww. - Aww.

So there's a million reasons I love my daughter.

I did all of this because I thought she would either think it was funny

or think it was cringey.

But either way, I'm winning.

Yes.

All right, who wants to go first? Who--

- Go ahead, Ken. - What's your guessy?

I think I will. I mean, there was that travel bag

that I saw in the clue packages

that made me think Blues Traveler.

- Oh, yeah. - There's a digital clock

for their song "Borrowed Time."

I think this could be John Popper of Blues Traveler.

- Robin: That's a good guess. - Okay.

- That's a really sincere and good guess. - Respectable guess.

Nick: Jenny, what about you?

I feel like every time you perform,

this is somebody from the '90s, early 2000s.

And then, me putting the clues together,

there is a song called "Letters to My Daughters,"

and that letter bag we saw,

and he's talking about how much he loves his daughter.

- Uh-huh. - Could this be the amazing Uncle Kracker?

- Rita: What? - Ken: Oh!

- Robin: Uncle Kracker. - Rita: Uncle Kracker?

- That's a good guess. - Oh!

- Robin: Not bad. - Ken: That's a good guess.

Jenny: What are you thinking, Robin?

Last time he sang, I heard this high tenor that he has

that he really executes so well.

And we saw a bee clue early on,

reminded me of the song "I'll Be"

and the singer Edwin McCain.

And he is famous these days

for posting almost every day videos...

- No way. - ...with him and his daughter.

- Ken: Good guess, Robin. - Great guess.

- That's a great guess. - Rita: Yeah.

Nick: There it is.

A bunch of great guesses, and a great job from Nessy.

- Rita: Yeah. - Whoo! Yeah!

Men in Black, come help Nessy out.

Jenny: Whoo! That was so good.

Rita: I heard the tears in his voice.

- Ken: Yeah. - ♪ Who is that?

♪ Who is that?

Welcome back to Soundtrack of My Life Night

here on "The Masked Singer."

Whoo!

Let's get to our next big-time mask,

Boogie Woogie!

And there's one fan of his that's been most crucial

to his success on this show, but I'll let her explain.

I'm so glad I made it this far,

and I definitely wouldn't have made it here on my own.

There's one person who has helped shape the soundtrack of my life.

I have a case of disco fever

watching my hunky husband on that stage,

and you can tell he's truly having so much fun,

which is my biggest hope for him.

I remember how hard he took the loss of his mother.

I had never seen him so low.

But he channeled all of his grief into his writing,

and he made some of the most inspiring hits because of it.

He's inspired my music, too.

- Her music, too? - Wow.

And while he'd never mention it himself,

I'm here to share that his work has helped so many others

process their own grief, overcome illness,

and honestly, some fans have said even saved their lives.

He's a light for so many people,

and I'm so lucky I get to stand in his glow.

- Super suit. - Superhero?

Boogie Baby, this is your golden hour.

Now go out there and get that Golden Mask trophy.

Boogie Woogie.

- Robin, talk to Mr. Woogie. - I mean, come on.

I mean, that is not an easy song to sing,

- and you just executed it to perfection. - Thank you.

From the feeling in your voice to the pinpoint precision in your vocals,

I mean, still right now the front runner to win the whole thing.

- Jenny: Absolutely. - Outstanding performance. Outstanding.

Thank you. ( laughs )

This song reminds me of my incredible, lovely Boogie Woogie wife,

especially when we got to sing at sunset at the White House.

- What? - What?

- Nick: That was a clue. - But which president?

Can't tell you.

All right, who wants to go first?

- This is crazy. - Robin: Well...

- Go ahead, Robin. - Something that I noticed in your vocal tonight

reminded me of a singer who had a huge hit called "Bad Day."

- You had a bad day. - ♪ You had a bad day

- Yeah. - Definitely a platinum song.

And there was an old clue with the piano,

- and I know he plays piano. - Yep.

- Could this be Daniel Powter? - Rita: Not bad.

- I like it. - But, I mean, for me,

the songwriting clue today, I just--

I feel like Charlie Puth, but he's not married.

- Yes, he just got married. - No, he did not.

- Charlie Puth just got married. - He did?

- Jenny: Yes. - Ken: Oh, my gosh.

And he plays the piano,

and he makes songs from scratch

on TikTok and I love him.

So maybe-- okay, should I say it's Charlie Puth?

Okay. Charlie Puth.

There we go, Charlie Puth.

All right, Jenny, what you got?

So, I like to go on the clues, of course.

And when I saw that super suit, it made me think of Spider-Man.

There was a Spider-Man soundtrack band called The Killers.

- Oof. My fave. - I think this could be the amazing Brandon Flowers.

- Ken: Oh! - Okay.

I love you, Jenny, but I don't hear that.

- I don't hear that in the voice. - You don't hear it?

- Yeah. - I don't hear it.

Well, you need some Q-tips because I hear it.

I didn't hear that, but once again,

- just incredible performance. - Honestly.

- Incredible performance. - Our favorite.

Our favorite. You're one to beat, man.

All right, this man is truly a star.

Go ahead and rest those happy feet backstage, baby.

I don't know who this is. I've got no idea.

And, you know, there's something so familiar about his voice.

I just can't put my finger on him.

Rita: Ah, this one's hard.

♪ Who is that?

What's the soundtrack of your life, guys?

I mean, there's no doubt the person that influenced me the most is my husband,

- who happens to be backstage right now. - Oh, I love it!

Ken: That is beautiful. How about you, Daddy?

What's your soundtrack of your life?

Rita: Yeah, Nick.

I mean, actually-- I don't know, to be honest.

Probably the Mariah Carey Greatest Hits.

Rita: That is too good.

♪ Who is that?

Welcome back to "The Masked Singer."

- Yeah! - Whoo!

Our next celebrity is Pearl.

There's no doubt she's a huge superstar.

However, there's a whole lot of doubt

which huge superstar she actually is.

Maybe this will help.

I must say, the soundtrack to my life recently has been love songs.

And that's because I've been helping my daughter

plan her dream wedding to a really good guy.

Want to meet him? Go easy on him now.

Thanks, Ma. Ah, it feels good to finally call you that.

Let me tell you, there was no scarier moment in my life

than asking Pearl for her daughter's hand in marriage.

I mean, I even chickened out the first time.

She's one tough oyster to crack. And I get it.

Pearl raised her daughter all by herself.

She had to be two parents in one.

I mean, heck, Pearl can hitch a trailer better than anyone I know.

Hitching a trailer is giving off Southern vibes.

So when she gave me her blessing, I was so relieved.

That was a big win for me.

And there was no one more proud

dancing at our reception than Pearl.

- Cassette tape? - Movie soundtrack from the '80s.

Now, Mama Pearl, I believe you got what it takes to win.

And I know you miss us, but don't worry,

I got things covered at home.

Wow!

Amazing way to rock out this entire place.

- Jenny. - Oh, my God.

I mean, every single time that you've been on this stage,

you completely blow our minds.

- Ken: Yeah! - Oh, my.

- You are like the GOAT of "Masked Singer." - Robin: Yeah!

- I'm not kidding. - Oh, you're so sweet.

Wow. Well, Pearl, what made you pick that anthem

as the soundtrack to your life?

Well, it isn't really just about the song for me.

It's really the whole rock genre.

It makes me feel strong.

That one was for the Pearls.

- Yes. Right, Pearl! - Wow.

- I love it. - Robin, what you picking up on?

Well, I'm changing my guess tonight

because the cassette tape

makes me think of classic soundtracks

- from movies in the '80s, right? - Yeah.

- Yes. - You know, the song is

- "Holding Out For A Hero" till the morning-- - Rita: Yes.

- Yeah. - Both: Bonnie Tyler.

- Ken: Wow, that's a great-- - Jenny: I love Bonnie Tyler.

Nick: Good guess. Rita, what about you?

Okay, I went from Pat Benatar to--

I've been saying Joan Jett week after week.

But then I saw the gold earrings

and this person has a gold record.

There was a movie clue. She's on the soundtrack to "Lilo & Stitch."

I actually think this is Wynonna Judd.

- Oh. - Yes.

- Jenny: I like it. - That's a different one, all right.

You know what? That actually was pretty good.

But there was an old clue that she performed with Dolly Parton,

and my little lady did perform with Dolly Parton.

And then I saw the starfish on her belt.

- It made me think of a movie... - Oh, yeah.

...that she was in, which was "A Star is Born."

- Rita: Yes. - I think this could be

- the amazing Brandi Carlile, you guys. - Ken: Oh.

- Rita: That's great. - Great guess.

- All right. - But whoever you are, you are a front-runner, girl.

- Let me tell you. - Absolutely.

- Whoo! - Finals, here we come.

- Whoa! Thank you. - Truly amazing.

Getting everybody on their feet again.

- Robin: Whoo! - Rita: Yeah!

Men in Black, please help her out.

If this was Vegas right now, if I had to put money

on who the finals are, the two,

it would be Boogie Woogie and her right now.

- Rita: Yeah, me, too. - But we still have Mad Scientist Monster.

We still got Mad Scientist, who's amazing.

- Who's always surprising as well. - He is.

♪ Who is that?

♪ Who is that?

Welcome back to "The Masked Singer."

All night long, we've been captivated

by the talents of our top five contestants,

and we still have one left to go.

Mad Scientist Monster is up.

These new clues should steer you in the right direction.

The soundtrack of my life is a song that happens to be my wife's favorite,

"The Scientist" by Coldplay.

She loves those guys as much as she loves hearing me sing.

I am so thrilled that my monster has made it this far.

But secretly, me and the babies do miss him.

Summer break? What does that mean?

He keeps us safe and sound and that's important to me

because growing up, I didn't have that.

I was orphaned when I was a teenager.

And with no family stability, I became my own parent, my own protector.

- Aww. - Wow.

When I met Mad Scientist Monster,

I didn't know how to be loved.

Didn't think I deserved it.

But he was patient with me.

He knew I was a little broken from my past

and wanted to help me rebuild piece by piece.

So I helped him, too.

I was an audience of one while he worked on his first huge single.

And I've done everything I can to support his-- well, our dream.

- Robin: Oh! - Yeah!

Rita: Whoo!

Honey, I came to life when you came into mine.

Nick: Wow.

Mad Scientist Monster. Incredible. Robin?

You know, tonight I really felt like that was his best vocal

because he showed us these different textures to his voice

that he hasn't even shown us before.

So I think that could be your best performance.

Great timing trying to get to the finals.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

I wanted to do "The Scientist"

because it's a pretty emotional and heartfelt song,

let's be honest, which is really different

than what most people know me for.

- Party anthem kind of guy. - Party anthem kind of guy.

- Ah, sounds like it was a clue in there. - Rita: What?

Did you guys notice the chessboard in the clue package was all knights?

- Yep. - So that makes me think "All Night Long,"

but I don't think that's Lionel Richie.

But you know who has another classic all night long song

that's in the country world is Rascal Flatts.

- "Life is a Highway." - Rita: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Robin: "Life is a Highway." Thank you.

So I'm going to go Gary LeVox from Rascal Flatts.

- I love that. - Nick: Great guess.

- Ken Jeong-Wrong? - Go on, Ken.

Ken: Okay, I think Mad Scientist Monster

may be Kane Brown.

- There's a chess table. - Robin: Okay.

He has a song called "One Night Only."

- Okay. - And also summer break calendar for "Short Skirt Weather."

- Everybody knows I like to wear short skirts... - Yup.

- ...in the summer. - Unfortunately.

But that's neither here nor there. Kane Brown. I think it's Kane Brown.

Sharing a little too much about yourself today, Ken.

Rita, what about you?

I think this could be Jelly Roll.

Yeah. Let me tell you why.

He's got a wife. Her name's Brooke--

who I love on Instagram and on her podcast.

( trills )

And I'm obsessed with kind of her energy,

and she has been holding him down, honey!

- Ken: That's a good guess. - Okay, so, yeah, that's my guess. Jelly Roll.

- I like it a lot. - All right.

Another stellar performance.

- Rita: Yes! - So good.

Nick: Men in Black, help him out.

Now we arrive at the moment of truth.

Oh, no!

Audience, panel, time to choose your favorite of the night.

After the break, four singers will advance to the next round.

The other is showing us their famous face.

- Don't go anywhere. - No!

Jenny: Can't we send Ken home instead?

♪ Who is that?

Welcome back.

The results are in...

- Aah! - ...and get this,

by the closest margin in "Masked Singer" history.

- Really? - No way.

By less than 1%.

- No way. - Ken: What?

Rita: Oh, no.

Our next celebrity to unmask is...

This is the part that gets real.

I mean, they should all be really proud though right now if it's less than 1%.

- Nessy. - All: Oh!

Nessie!

To our singers who are safe, congratulations.

- 1%. - You have officially advanced to the final four.

But, ladies and gentlemen, let's keep it going for Nessy!

Whoo!

Nessy, we hate to see you go,

but we can't wait to see who you are.

Yes.

But not before we get your most meaningful clue yet.

Ooh!

Time for the Crack the Case Clue Case.

( "Also Sprach Zarathustra" playing ♪ )

- Crack the case! - A brilliant idea.

Men in Black, reveal what's inside.

Okay. Nessy, what can you tell us about this clue?

It's a Celtic knot and it symbolizes eternal love,

which is something that heavily influenced my career.

Wow.

So this is a very important symbol.

Oh, my gosh, this is huge.

Nick: All right, so it's time for your final guesses.

- Who wants to go first? - Rita: Jenny.

- Okay. - Yay!

You know, I've been all over the place,

but I'm going to really focus on this guy is married,

he has some daughters.

And I feel like it is one of my favorite

love songs of all time.

- The song is called "Iris." - I love that song.

I think this could be the amazing Johnny Rzeznik.

- Robin: Ooh, I like that. - Great guess.

- That's a great guess. - Nick: Another great guess.

All right, who wants to go next?

I do think I've got a good feel for who this might be.

There were bee clues.

And he talked about love songs, writing love songs.

And one of the biggest love songs

of all time is "I'll Be."

He plays acoustic guitar. We saw a box of popcorn.

And his songs have been in movies like "A Cinderella Story."

- Yeah, yeah. - I think that this could be Edwin McCain.

- That's a good guess. - Okay.

Good final guess. Rita, what about you?

For me, I feel like he had a huge love song,

"Crash Into Me," which I just love.

And I know that he's married and has a kid and has a daughter,

- so Dave Matthews for me. - All right.

Jenny: Ken. Bring us home, Ken Jeong.

- Bring us home. - I truly believe I know who this is.

This past hook clue is for the Blues Traveler song "Hook."

There is a treadmill for the Blues Traveler song "Run Around."

- Huh. - I believe Nessy is John Popper,

the lead singer of Blues Traveler.

- Okay. - Rita: Wow.

- All right. - I don't know.

- Not a bad guess at all, Ken. - It's anyone's game.

- It's anyone's game right now. - Robin: Not a bad guess.

Nick: All right, well, it's time to see

- if any of our panel is correct. - Yeah!

- Whoo! - Let's go.

- Nessy, we need to know... - Ken: Let's do this!

- ...who are you? - Come on, Nessy!

- Audience. - I need one, Nessy.

- You know the drill. Say it with me. - Ken: Let's go!

- Take it off! - Come on!

( chanting ) Take it off! Take it off! Take it off! Take it off!

- ♪ Who - Who is it?

♪ I really wanna know, oh, I really wanna know ♪

- ( chanting continues ) - ♪ Come on, tell me

- Please! - Edwin!

♪ Who are you?

Musician and singer/songwriter of the hit song "I'll Be."

- Yeah! - Both: Oh, my God!

- You got it! - Nick: Edwin McCain!

- ( Robin singing ) - Yes! Look at you!

Look at you, Robin!

- Robin Thicke is dancing around because he got it right. - You got it!

Good job, Robin. That was awesome.

Well, it's an honor to have you here.

I had such a good time. Thank you for having me.

You brought this big costume to life every performance.

I mean, tell us about becoming Nessy.

I got to tell you right now, I actually got distracted

while I was singing one of the songs

because there was a bead of sweat

- that started at the back of my neck. - Oh, no!

And it started going all the way down, and I started pulling for it.

I was like, "Come on, little buddy. You can make it."

And then it went all the way down into my shoe,

and I was like, "Yeah! Where am I in the song?"

- Ken: Oh, my God. - It's hot in there.

It was hot in here is what I'm trying to say.

- Yeah, but you killed it. - I love it though.

Man, you did such a great job.

It's been a lot of fun. Thanks for having me on this.

So, Edwin, now, you talked about your family.

What do you think they will say when they see you pop out of this Nessy costume?

Well, I had to tell my daughter what I was doing,

but my sons have no idea that this is happening right now,

and I can't wait for them to just be like, "What?"

All right, Soundtrack of My Life Night was a smashing success.

- Yay! - Ken: Wow.

And now Robin and Jenny are tied with four correct.

- We'll have to get gladiator, baby. - I love it.

- Let's go, Robin. Grr! - Hey, it's okay on this side.

- We're not that bad. - The competition continues with next week's final four.

- Whoa. - That's crazy.

But right now, put your hands together
