here<\/a>.This week\u2019s theme<\/p>\nThere is no theme this week, as the detectives will need all of their attention focused on the final clues as they narrow down the field for next week\u2019s grand finale. <\/p>\n
As noted above, tonight the final five mystery singers will take to the stage, including Galaxy Girl, Pangolin, Pugcasso, Crane and Cat Witch\u2014the latter of whom we already know the identity of (Kylie Cantrall) as part of a new challenge for the detectives this season.<\/p>\n
Galaxy Girl<\/p>\n
The intergalactic-themed masked singer was up first, performing a high-energy rendition of \u201cMisery Business\u201d by Paramore. Their main clue revealed that they\u2019re friends with a \u201cmassive star,\u201d and that they used to watch them play huge stages before they became an artist themselves. They also noted that, while the two are still close, they\u2019re also competitive, which is why Galaxy Girl was aiming to win the competition.<\/p>\n
The detectives loved the performance, saying Galaxy Girl clearly \u201ccame to win.\u201d Host Nick Cannon also revealed that each remaining masked singer also had a special connection to each detective, with Galaxy Girl sharing that they actually had a connection to Cannon. Both McCarthy Wahlberg and Ora believed they could be Ashlee Simpson, but Thicke thought they were Ali Michalka of Ali & AJ fame.<\/p>\n
Pangolin<\/p>\n
Pangolin was up next, singing \u201cIt\u00a0Must\u2019ve\u00a0Been Love\u201d by Roxette. They opened up in their clue-related footage about their special connection with their grandmother, and how her loss affected their career. In the process, they also revealed they had an Emmy Award, which their grandmother used to brag about.<\/p>\n
Following their performance, Pangolin stated that they had shared a screen with Jeong once before. Jeong guessed several titles, but the masked singer confirmed they didn\u2019t star in KPop Demon Hunters or Crazy Rich Asians. Jeong guessed Lea Michele based on their vocal range, while McCarthy Wahlberg thought they might be Rachel Platten.<\/p>\n
Crane<\/p>\n
\u201cBreak Free\u201d by Ariana Grande was the song of choice for the bird-themed masked singer. During their clue-related footage, they shared that their initial debut resulted in \u201cmulti-platinum\u201d levels of success. However, while things appeared great to the public at the time, behind closed doors, they were struggling, as their parents were \u201csick.\u201d Now, the whole family\u2019s doing well, with Crane stating that being a fighter is \u201cin [their] blood.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following their song, Crane revealed their connection was to Ora, joking that the two of them love a bit of \u201chealthy competition.\u201d The detective confirmed with the mystery celeb that they once \u201ccompeted\u201d against each other, and Ora was torn between Halle Bailey and Normani. On the other hand, Jeong believed they might be SZA based on their dance skills.<\/p>\n
Pugcasso<\/p>\n
Pugcasso took on \u201cBad Dreams\u201d by Teddy Swims for their performance. Their clues revealed that they always thought of themselves as \u201ca musician, not a celebrity,\u201d joking that even their kid doesn\u2019t know they\u2019re \u201cfamous.\u201d They also specified that they wanted to be on the show because it allowed them to show off \u201cwhat they did best.\u201d<\/p>\n
Once the masked celeb took their bow, Jeong said that Pugcasso was his favorite to \u201cwin it all.\u201d McCarthy Wahlberg was the pup-themed performer\u2019s connection to the detectives, saying that they once \u201cshared a stage\u201d together. McCarthy Wahlberg had multiple guesses, including Michael Bubl\u00e9 and John Legend, but Ora was confident they were Darren Criss.<\/p>\n
Cat Witch<\/p>\n
The feline-themed masked singer closed the show with their version of \u201cRun to You\u201d by Whitney Houston. As noted above, the audience at home already knows that Cat Witch is Cantrall, with the show switching it up this season by revealing the identity of one contestant to viewers ahead of time, but not the detectives.<\/p>\n
Ora was moved by the performance, calling it a \u201cgame changer.\u201d Cat Witch\u2019s connection was to Thicke, saying he\u2019d \u201cwelcomed [their] family\u201d into his home, adding that they also had a connection to Ora. Thicke believed they were Noah Cyrus based on the family ties; however, Ora guessed correctly\u2014without realizing it\u2014making the connection to Descendants, where Ora played Cantrall\u2019s mother.<\/p>\n
Who was eliminated?<\/p>\n
After the five finalists wrapped up their performances, the detectives and audience were prompted to vote for their favorites. Once all the votes were counted, the masked singer eliminated was Pangolin, securing spots in the finale for Cat Witch, Pugcasso, Crane and Galaxy Girl.<\/p>\n
Upon their unmasking, the mystery celeb was revealed to be Rachel Platten, making McCarthy Wahlberg the only detective to guess their identity correctly throughout the season.<\/p>\n
