AceShowbiz - "The Masked Singer" season 5 returned for another exciting episode. In the new episode airing on Wednesday, February 22, three celebrity singers took the stage to celebrate the ABBA Night.
Last week's winner Medusa was the first contestant to perform that evening. For her clue package, Medusa included Coldplay's Chris Martin while adding, "While I may look like I could turn someone to stone into this thing, I'm actually a bit of a softie underneath."
Medusa then performed ABBA's megahit "Dancing Queen". The judges, including Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke, guessed that Medusa could be Tove Lo, Lorde, Chris' daughter Apple or his girlfriend Dakota Johnson.
Following it up was Night Owl. In her clue package, Night Owl said, "I broke records and topped charts at just 17. You could say I paved the way for [Britney Spears], [Christina Aguilera], Nicole."
That night, she sang "Fernando". Among the guesses were Paula Abdul, Belinda Carlisle, Debbie Gibson and Kylie Minogue.
Rock Lobster then rounded out the ABBA night. "I've been in movies and TV shows since you were a kid and I can't believe 10 million people watch me dance for 15 seconds on the daily," Rock Lobster said in his clue package that showed two joker cards.
For his debut stage, Rock Lobster hit the stage to perform his own take on "S.O.S.". The judges thought that Rock Lobster could be Howie Mandel, Martin Short or Steve-O.
Host Nick Cannon then revealed the vote results. The first singer to get unmasked that night was Rock Lobster, who was unveiled to be comedian and "America's Got Talent" judge Howie. Ken guessed it correctly.
Night Owl and Medusa later had a face off in the Battle Royale in which they each performed ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All". Medusa successfully defended her crown as Night Owl was unmasked. This time, Jenny made the right guess because Night Owl turned out to be Debbie Gibson.
