AceShowbiz - It was time to go retro fun on "The Masked Singer". In the new episode, airing on Wednesday, October 18, a new set of costumed contestants, Hawk, Husky, Royal Hen and Tiki, hit the stage to sing on the night which celebrated Elton John's music.
First up was Hawk, who showcased his rocker-worthy vocals as he offered an energetic performance of "Saturday Night's (for Fighting)". In his clue package, Hawk noted that he "grew up pretty fast into the family business." He also shared that he "felt alone, like a total reject" until he heard a life-changing sound, which was the sound of "heavy guitar chords blaring from my speakers." As for his visual package, it included a treasure chest, a New York postcard and a full moon.
Following the performance, panelists Ken Jeong, Robin Thicke, Nicole Scherzinger and Jenny McCarthy were impressed. Jenny said, "I have no doubt that you did Elton John, who's watching, proud tonight." After an additional clue featured Miley Cyrus, the panel started revealing their guesses which included Austin Butler, Corey Feldman, Cole Sprouse and Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy.
Husky followed it up. He said in his clue package, "When I first hit the scene, I had a strange effect on the female species. Every time I got on the stage, they showered me with love and sometimes their underthings." He additionally showed a crying laughing emoji, a chocolate bar, a carousel and Mother Nature, Vivica A. Fox in season 6, in his visual clue package.
For his first performance, Husky opted to sing "Bennie and the Jets". His additional clue, meanwhile, came in the form of a spaceship ride. The panelists thought that Husky could be Babyface, Morris Chestnut, Tyrese Gibson or Terrence Howard.
Royal Hen, whose name was said to be "etched in history," later hit the stage. "A true trailblazer, she is famous for championing equal opportunity for all," the clue package read. Royal Hen's visual package, meanwhile, featured The Eiffel Tower, a football and a hot dog.
That night, Royal Hen went with a cover of "Philadelphia Freedom". Men in Black then appeared to bring a heart with a medal for her additional clue. Among names that were mentioned by the panelists for the guesses were Billie Jean King, Rita Moreno and Gloria Steinem.
Rounding out the night was Tiki, who claimed in the clue package, "I've always wanted to be a rockstar!" Tiki also said that they sold "millions of records," adding, "I was a stiff drink with a loose mouth and I got myself in a lot of trouble." Tiki's visual clues displayed an alarm clock with "snooze" flashing on it, a skull as well as a monkey.
Tiki wowed everyone with a performance of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". Jenny raved, "Your voice is absolutely epic." Men in Blue then came out to bring "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues" as Tiki's additional clue. John Stamos, David Lee Roth and Robert Plant were among the guesses.
Host Nick Cannon later announced the results. Royal Hen and Hawk, who got the least votes, had to compete in The Smackdown and the two performed their own take on "Don't Go Breaking My Heart".
After much deliberation, the panel decided to name Hawk as the winner, meaning that Royal Hen was eliminated. As she got unmasked, Royal Hen was revealed to be tennis legend Billie Jean King!
