The Masked Singer continues to whittle down the competition by gearing up for the Super Six. Batting up first was Group A in the latest installment “The Group A Finals — The Masked Frontier.”
This brought the final three Group A competitors together for an intense round of performances to be observed by panelists Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke. Sun, Snow Owls, and Popcorn took to the stage more than once throughout the night to vie for the remaining two slots that would ultimately be part of the Super Six.
Joining the panelists in this week’s episode was guest Niecy Nash, who gave her own unique perspective on the disguised celebrities’ performances. Kicking the night off, all of the Group A performers sang Pink’s “Raise Your Glass” before delving into solo numbers. Below, we break down all of the clues, identity guesses, and who was unmasked, but beware of major spoilers.
