AceShowbiz - "The Masked Singer" aired its season 9 Semi-Finals on Wednesday, May 10. In the episode, three remaining singers, who were California Roll, Macaw and Medusa, returned to the stage but only two of them were sent to the Finals.

Kicking off the night were California Roll. "I think I speak for all of us that it's really exciting to be here in the Semi-Finals because we love a little friendly competition. It's really nice to be able to flex that creative muscle right now," California Roll said. Their visual clues included a #1 Roll card with a 5 star rating.

For their performance, California Roll sang "Breakaway" by Kelly Clarkson. Judge Nicole Scherzinger was totally in love with their harmonies, saying that it was an "honor" to have them on the stage. As California Roll said that they shared a connection with Jenny McCarthy from their time on Broadway, the panel guessed that California Roll might be the "Dear Evan Hansen" cast (Jenny), the "Spring Awakening" cast (Nicole) or the "In the Heights" cast (Ken Jeong).

Following it up was Medusa, who said, "Making it into the Semi-Finals means so much to me. The coolest part of all is that this the show the person closest to me would have 100% been a fan of. She was a really colorful, vibrant person and was my biggest cheerleader. In 2020 I lost her. She was really young and it was really sudden." The visual clues included a photo of Sarah McLachlan and a ship.

That night, Medusa belted out "Take Me to Church" by Hozier. She later revealed that she's connected to Robin Thicke and that their voices had taken them on a journey and earned a platinum. Robin guessed Grimes, while Ken went with Dido.

Macaw was the last finalist to perform. "When I first started in my career, I was a lot more reserved because I was young. I was not quite sure who I was and who I was supposed to be," he shared. "As I was getting to know myself I was also afraid of who I was. I thought if I told the truth I was going to lose anyone, but when I did, it changed my life in such a beautiful way. It helped me feel like I don't have to hide anything anymore."

For the Semi-Finals, Macaw sang "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction. Macaw said he's connected to Nicole, saying, "Not only do we both love to travel, but we both have a special love for the Philippines." With the clues, the panel mentioned Darren Criss, David Archuleta, Daniel Radcliffe and Daniel Bedingfield as their guesses.

Three of them later faced each other in the Battle Royale, in which they performed their own spin of Bruno Mars' "Runaway Baby". They were all impressive but one of them should be sent home and that act was California Roll.

Before California Roll got unmasked, the panelists submitted their final guesses. Nicole guessed the cast of "Pitch Perfect", Ken named the cast of "In the Heights" while Robin and Jenny thought they might be Pentatonix. When California Roll removed their mask, they were revealed to be Pentatonix!
