AceShowbiz - "The Masked Singer" season 11 is closing in its Finale as the Semi-Finals aired on Wednesday, May 15. In the new episode, the Top 3, Clock, Goldfish and Gumball, returned to the stage to fight for a spot in the Finale.
Kicking off the night, Clock, Goldfish and Gumball took the stage for a fun joint performance of Whitney Houston's version of "Higher Love". Following it up, Gumball offered the first solo performance.
"I want my kids to see that their dad never said no to an adventure," he said in his clue package. "And that's my wish for them as well, that they live life to the fullest, even if that means putting on a Gumball costume and rocking out. Tonight's performance is for my kids, and if it takes me to the finale, that would be extra sweet."
Gumball opted to sing "I Lived" by OneRepublic. The panelists were totally impressed by Gumball's progress each week as Jenny McCarthy dubbed it "a winning finale performance." Tonight's Super Clue for Gumball is a cheerleader with Gumball adding, "Hearing those cheers reminds me of a role that changed this Gumball's life forever." The guesses included James Van Der Beek (Robin Thicke), Jason Sudeikis (Jenny) and Taylor Kitsch (Rita Ora).
Later, Clock shared in her clue package, "When I was younger, I had stage fright so bad, my knees would knock together under my gospel robe. I had to learn how to connect with the audience through eye contact and a smile. And now, this mask takes all that away! So, I've had to connect in other ways. This dress was not made for moving, but that doesn't stop me." She added, "See, I wanted to 'Masked Singer' to introduce myself to a whole new generation. To make it this far is a real treat. So now, I'm going to be singing, dancing and twerking my way into the finale."
For the night, Clock belted out "Dancing in the Streets" by Martha and the Vandellas. The men in black bring out a pile of gold bars for Clock's Super Clue. "This isn't the first stage show that I have done, and every performance has been solid gold, baby!" Clock said. Robin guessed Stephanie Mills, while Jenny thought she could be Roberta Flack. Rita, on the other hand, named Thelma Houston. When Jenny hit the Blue Prime button for an additional clue, roller skates appeared.
Goldfish performed last that night. "Coming from a girl who once wore a prom dress to an awards show, this is everything. The gown, the gills, the glam! Tonight, I am singing 'You Oughta Know' by Alanis Morissette," she said in her clue package. "And I'm here to remind you that I would love a spot in the finale. It would mean everything to put that Golden Mask trophy next to my others. Oh, and I would really like to take the microphone too. Thanks!"
After her performance, Robin was seen applauding from on top of the table. Mouse (Demi Lovato) appeared on stage and gave Goldfish a hug for Goldfish's Super Clue. Goldfish explained, "It's a real blast from the past, because me and the Mouse, we go way, way back." The guesses were Vanessa Hudgens (Rita), Ashley Tisdale (Rita), Selena Gomez (Jenny) and Hilary Duff (Robin).
It was later time for a three-way Battle Royale, where each of the contestants took the stage to sing their own version of "A Moment Like This" by Kelly Clarkson. After the vote ended, host Nick Cannon revealed the singer who would be unmasked that night was Clock. It meant Gumball and Goldfish were heading to the Finale.
Before Clock revealed her identity, the panelists made their final guesses. Robin still went with Stephanie Mills. Jenny believed Clock was Roberta Flack, while Ken guessed Janet Jackson. As for Rita, she kept her initial guess, Thelma Houston. Rita was correct because Clock was revealed to be Grammy-winning music legend Thelma Houston.
