'The Masked Singer' Season 7 Finale Crowns Firefly As The Winner

Season 7 of "The Masked Singer" finally came to an end on Wednesday night. The final three contestants were Ringmaster, Firefly, and the Frog Prince. Fans already guessed their identity before the finale aired, but they had to wait until the season finale until they found out if they were right!

The usual panel consisted of Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Nicole Scherzinger. Nick Cannon sported a stellar white ensemble to resume his role as host. There were no guest panelists for the finale.

The show opened up with a "clue campaign," from the Frog Prince, with included two clues to "Glee" and a hint to Broadway. He then launched into his rendition of Viva La Vida by Coldplay.

After his performance, Jenny guessed Ben Platt. Robin Thicke guessed Ricky Martin. Ken guessed Matt Bomer.

One of Firefly's clues was a basketball hoop. Another was a keyboard. The numbers 5,6,7,8 also appeared on a campaign pin, with the number "7" in bold. She entertained the judges by singing "Bad Girl" by Usher.

After her performance, Robin guessed Teyana Taylor. Nicole guessed Monica. Ken said, "I actually think Firefly is Brandy."

For her clue campaign, there was a picture of a horse on a badge to serve as a clue. There was also a mouse dressed as a princess. She also held up a photo of Simon Cowell before launching into her rendition of "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles.

Ken Jeong guessed Hailee Steinfeld. Nicole guessed Lucy Hale. Jenny guessed Hayden Panettiere.

...the Frog Prince! Firefly and Ringmaster retreated backstage to perform again before their next elimination.

Ken doubled down on his guess of Matt Bomer. Likewise, Robin doubled down on his guess of Ricky Martin. Jenny stuck with her guess of Ben Platt. Sherlock Scherzy went with Cheyenne Jackson, which is what fans have been saying for weeks.

Emmy-nominated actor and singer Cheyenne Jackson was unmasked, proving Nicole's guess correct. Cheyenne has done nine Broadway shows. Jackson worked with Murphy on multiple series, including "American Horror Story." Jackson said that he had two young twins. When he told them that he was nervous to perform, Willow gifted him a rock that said "Courage." Jackson revealed that the costume designers actually sewed it into the costume so that he'd always have it with him.

For her final performance, Firefly sang "Lost Without U" by none other than judge Robin Thicke. Robin said he was "flattered and choked up." Ken thanked her for "saving the best for last."

Ringmaster followed it with a performance of Katy Perry's "Waking Up In Vegas." The Masked Singer's Twitter account did not post a video of her performance. The audience was chanting her name by the time she was done. Ken called it a "star-making performance" and Robin praised her "continual growth."

Host Nick Cannon called it a "perfect end to a perfect season."

The Ringmaster was unmasked first. Robin guessed Maren Morris. Nicole guessed Lucy Hale. Ken doubled down on Hailee Steinfeld. Jenny stuck with Hayden Panettiere.

However, it was really Hayley Orrantia, star of the ABC series "The Goldbergs." Nicole did not remember meeting her when she was a judge on "The X Factor" when Hayley competed.

When it came to unmasking Firefly, Robin doubled down on Teyana Taylor. Jenny agreed with Robin's guess. Nicole stuck with Monica. Ken went with a guess of Alicia Keys, which Jenny called "actually coherent."

Firefly was unmasked to reveal Teyana Taylor as the winner of "The Masked Singer" season 7, proving Robin and Jenny's guesses correct.

When Nick asked why Teyana decided to perform on the show, she replied, “Aw, man, I was like, this would be something really nice to do, and just be able to just sing, and it’d be fun again, and there’s just no judgement, you know?”

“Nobody knows who’s behind the mask,” she added. “You just get to sing your heart out.”

Coincidentally, her husband, Iman Shumpert, who she married in 2016, just won “Dancing with the Stars” and now she won “The Masked Singer.”

“You got all types of trophies at the crib,” Nick joked.

She said “Lost With U” was a “dear song” to her and that she “cried” during the whole song. Robin told her that she did a great job.

And that brings “The Masked Singer” season 7 to a close! The show has already been renewed for an eighth season, so there are still celebrity guests slated to perform!
