The Masked Singer Season 3 Episode 16: The Finale/The Winner is Announced (Commentary & Reveals)
Hello fellow lovers of the Masked Singer. Welcome to the last Ana’s Masked Recap of Season 3 (don’t worry I will be back for season 4 in the fall... hopefully, depending on how busy I am). In the meantime, I am probably going to do more recaps of other shows (maybe AGT or World of Dance since they are starting up next week, let me know if you want to see that, I have no idea how I will do it but I will give it a shot) Anyways, for the last time *sheds a tear*, let’s freaking do this: (P.S. they are spoilers just a warning for y’all & I will be revealing them as I go similarly to the format of when eliminated contestants are revealed episode by episode, oh & we are still doing PANEL SPOTLIGHTS woohoo but this time we are gonna give all the judges’ guesses & reward them with a 🏆 or give them the 💩 emoji)
Alright, first & foremost, we have the mask that came in 3rd place, who was:
*DRUMROLL PLEASE*
THE FROG
Performance: To be honest, his performance of “Bad Boy For Life” by P. Diddy was probably the worst performance of the night, only because there wasn’t any improvement. It was the same kind of performances that he has been doing, which makes sense why he got 3rd place. However, I do gotta give him credit because rapping ain’t easy & he is a great dancer so congrats to him on being in the finals.
Having said that, the frog was revealed to be:
*DRUM ROLL PLEASE*
BOW WOW (AKA SHAD MOSS)
Yup, guessed it since his first performance! It was pretty obvious due to the clues & here are the latest set of clues:
Road to Finals Clues
Australian Flag= hosts R&B Friday Nights, an Australian night time radio show
Toy car with a 9 on it= reprising his role on the 9th Fast & Furious movie
likes shade no matter how you say it= reference to his real name Shad
Finale Clues
People saying things about him on social media= he has a problem with people trolling him on social media (i.e. the Bow Wow Challenge)
Playing Basketball= he was in the movie Like Mike
PANEL SPOTLIGHT AKA PANEL’S FINAL GUESSES:
Jenny: Lil Romeo 💩
Ken: Kid Cudi 💩
Robin: Bow Wow 🏆🏆 (2 because he came up with it & said it for weeks)
Nicole: Bow Wow 🏆 (she just rode Robin’s coat tails but whatever I'll still give it to her... even though she at first said MC Hammer which was a terrible guess)
Alright, now onto our runner-up who was:
*SAD DRUMROLL*
THE TURTLE 🥺😢
Performance: OK I am so upset about this one, because I feel (and a lot of people I saw on social media felt the same way as me so I don’t feel as dumb for feeling this) that he had the best performance of the night with Before You Go by Lewis Capaldi and he should’ve won honestly. He was the most vocally diverse on the show, he legit gave me chills & if it were based on talent, he would’ve won. This is genuinely the first season in which I don’t agree with who the winner is. In my heart, Turtle won but he didn’t get the trophy. Actually never mind let me give him a trophy: 🏆, here ya go, you deserve all the love in the world & I genuinely am a big fan of you with or without the mask.
Having said that, let’s get into who he was unmasked (someone who I am still a huge fan of... the same feeling I have towards Astronaut I have towards him):
*DRUMROLL PLEASE*
JESSE FREAKING MCCARTNEY
(Yes I said freaking because I am hyping him up, btw he came out with a new single, it’s called Friends & it slaps, I 100% recommend it if you are a fan of the Turtle like myself)
Ok, again, I saw this coming, I’ve listened to his music since the Disney Channel days (around like his Beautiful Soul days... 2004-2006 or so) so I recognized his voice immediately & I did some clue digging... and here are the latest set of clues:
Road to Finale Clues:
Chocolate Chip Cookies= voiced Theodore in Alvin & the Chipmunks
Surfboard= played a surfer in Summerland & won Teen Choice Awards
Finale Clues:
entered next phase of life with new Mrs. Turtle= got engaged last year
PANEL SPOTLIGHT AKA PANEL’S FINAL GUESSES:
Jenny: Jesse McCartney 🏆
Ken: Nick Jonas 💩
Robin: Adam Lambert 💩💩 (worst guess ever... does he even know Adam Lambert’s voice?)
Nicole: Jesse McCartney 🏆
Now, time to introduce to you, the winner of Season 3 of The Masked Singer:
*DRUMROLL PLEASE*
THE NIGHT ANGEL
Performance: Ok, yes, she’s the first female to ever win The Masked Singer & congrats to her for that, that’s amazing, girl power (I am a girl myself so I love that). However, her performance of River Deep, Mountain High by Tina Turner wasn’t anything groundbreaking nor was it enough to beat the Turtle. I can say that about her performances in general. They are great, but they aren’t anything spectacular. Not saying that she sucks by any means, she is a great singer, I just don’t think she won based on talent alone, but probably because she is a female & they wanted a woman to win the show this season since men have won twice before. I am a bit disappointed, this is the first time I don’t agree with the winner of the show & it makes me sad because I am the first person to want a woman to win, but this time I don’t feel like it was deserved. It is what it is though, no hate towards her by any means.
Having said that, the winner of the Golden Mask trophy was revealed to be:
*SUSPENSEFUL DRUM ROLL PLEASE*
KANDI BURRUSS
Again, this was not surprising at all! It was pretty obvious due to the clues & here are the latest set of clues:
Nicole: Taraji P Henson 💩(she was way too confident on this one, and she was way like way off)
Oh wow! It's the end, I cannot believe it! I just want to say thank you to anyone who has read any of these posts, I work really hard on them so it makes me happy to see people liking them or reposting them or even reading them in general. I genuinely am a fan of this show & all I say is just my opinion, for fun & entertainment purposes, so if you have a different opinion, that’s cool, let me know what it is & we can chat about it. Alright, so that’s a wrap for season 3, and hopefully next week I will see you guys with another show recap! BYE!!
