“The Masked Singer” switched things up a bit this week. Although it usually airs on Wednesday nights, “TMS” jumped to Monday night for a special episode breaking down the top 10 hits over the past six seasons.
The show, which is hosted by Nick Cannon, has seen the same panel of four judges throughout each season: Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Nicole Scherzinger.
Although the top 10 hits included plenty of great performances, there were two performers noticeably missing from the line-up. Season 3 winner Kandi Burruss, who performed as Night Angel, and Season 5 winner Nick Lachey, who performed as Pig, were absent from the top 10 list.
The Worst Of The Best
To kick off the list was Peacock’s performance of the appropriately named hit “The Greatest Show.” Hiding underneath the Peacock costume was born entertainer Donny Osmond.
The next performance was “Lonely” by Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco, performed by Yeti last season. Yeti was unmasked to reveal singer Omarion.
Clocking in at number eight was Seahorse singing the iconic Celine Dion earworm “My Heart Will Go On.” Grammy winner Tori Kelly was eventually revealed after her unmasking.
Number seven proved to be a real shocker. It turns out that NBA star Victor Oladipo was hiding underneath the giant Thingamajig costume after he sang Kacey Musgraves’ heartfelt hit “Rainbow.”
Middle Of The Pack
Everyone was on their feet when Frog performed the upbeat single “Jump” by Kriss Kross. The Frog shocked audiences when he was revealed to be hip-hop artist Bow Wow.
The fifth top performance was Bee singing “Wrecking Ball” by Miley Cyrus. It was one of the only pop songs sung by soul legend Gladys Knight.
Coming in at number four was singer and actor Jesse McCartney singing “Fix You” by Coldplay as Turtle.
The Top 3
Considering the overwhelming amount of talent that has graced “The Masked Singer” stage over the past few years, there were many great performances that could have easily taken the top spot.
Billie Eilish’s “When The Party’s Over,” as sung by Sun, came in at number three. The Sun went on to win season 4 and was revealed to be the legendary LeAnn Rimes.
The number two spot went to season 2 winner Wayne Brady who performed as Fox. His performance of “Try A Little Tenderness” by Otis Redding featured a full dance routine by the “Let’s Make a Deal” host.
The number one performance over six seasons went to Monster singing Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me.” It seems appropriate that the number one spot would go to season one winner T-Pain.
“The Masked Singer” will return on Wednesday, November 3, at 8 PM EST on Fox.
Until then, fans can catch up on the best contestants unmasked in season 6 so far and check out Rob Schneider‘s interview after he was unmasked as Hamster and sent home last week.
