The Masked Singer reveals its season 9 winner
Tonight The Macaw faced off against Medusa in The Masked Singer finale, with the latter welcoming the audience to the Black Parade
It was finale time tonight for the only reality competition we know of where they uncrown you in victory, rather than the more expected opposite: Fox’s The Masked Singer. After 14 weeks of competition—also, roughly, the gestation period for the noble and speedy cheetah, in case you were curious—the show’s ninth season has come to a close, naming a winner, and revealing the identities of all participants in this grim little masquerade.
Last week’s semi-final winnowed the field down to just two, after it was revealed—shockingly—that the acapella-singing, heavily harmonizing five-person “California Roll” group was actually Pentatonix all along. Tonight’s final, then, saw The Macaw face off against The Medusa, with the gorgon triumphing over the endangered bird in the end with a breathy rendition of My Chemical Romance’s “Welcome To The Black Parade,” and with The Macaw forced to reveal themselves as singer David Archuleta.
