AceShowbiz - "The Masked Singer" crowned its season 6 winner in the grand finale on Wednesday, December 15. In the episode, finalists The Queen of Hearts and The Bull competed for the last time in front of the panelists, Robin Thicke, Nicole Scherzinger, Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy, before one of them could take home the Golden Mask.
The Bull hit the stage first. In his final clues, he said, "When I was younger, I always felt like I was playing a character." He also included a pair of tap shoe on the floor, rose petals floating in the air, and a man in black handing him a cake. He then performed Des'ree's "Yo Gotta Be".
"That's how you do it on the final!" Robin commented. Meanwhile, Ken couldn't help but chant, "Bull! Bull! Bull!" Jenny also raved over the performance, calling it "amazing." Jenny suggested Titus Burgess or Neil Patrick Harris for her guess. Ken guessed Taye Diggs, while Nicole thought it was Todrick Hall.
As for the Queen of Hearts, her clues included a pair of ruby slippers and a briefcase. "I quit my job and I moved out," the Queen of Hearts explained. "I had no choice, and then I had no place to live. My car was stolen too."
The Queen of Hearts then hit the stage to sing a rendition of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On". "What an amazing way to end the season... because all season long you've made every song you own," Ken gushed. "Your humanity connects to us all and you're a legend in all of our hearts."
Nicole guessed Jewel. Jenny suggested that it could be Kellie Pickler, while Ken named Miranda Lambert.
For his final performance, The Bull sang a powerful, stripped down rendition of Hunter Hayes' "Invisible". It was so incredible that Ken and Nicole fought back tears half way through the song.
Of the song, The Bull emotionally said, "That song was written by Hunter Hayes, who I love. I felt like every single lyric spoke to me and sometimes you just feel like there's nothing you'll ever be able to do that's good enough. I do this because I love this. I've been doing this since I was 8 years old and I'll never stop singing, no matter what happens. I can honestly say this show has changed my life."
The Queen of Hearts opted to sing self-empowerment anthem, Katy Perry's "Firework". "What a way to end the show! You are a firework," Jenny said. "You have the voice of an angel, the voice of a healer, and if you ask me the voice of the Season 6 winner."
"This show's been kind of magical," Queen of Hearts said. "I've found that it touched things in my own life, from my history and bringing it in today has been real special. I just hope I've been able to be a spark of inspiration for anybody right now that might be struggling in the darkness."
It was time to reveal the winner. The Queen of Hearts was declared as the winner, meaning The Bull was the first one to get unmasked. Nicole got it right because The Bull was Todrick Hall! As for The Queen of Hearts, all panelists except for Ken agreed that she was Jewel. Ken guessed Renee Zellweger. The Queen of Hearts was indeed Jewel!
