This post contains spoilers from Wednesday’s episode ofThe Masked Singer.
The Prince, Space Bunny and Queen Cobra gave it their all as they competed for the last spot inTheMasked Singerfinale.
The three remaining undercover celebrities fought for their chance to take on Firefly and Ringmaster with one final solo performance, plus a group number.
PanelistsKen Jeong,Jenny McCarthy,Nicole ScherzingerandRobin Thickehelped make the tough decision and hostNick Cannonchecked in with each of the contestants.
But The Prince persevered. “I knew I had to wipe my tears and keep pushing,” the frog continued. “After years of struggle, people finally started to recognize me for my true talent.”

The package also showed sheet music, an airplane and bats, before The Prince beltedStevie Wonder’s “Sir Duke.”
“I did this show because I come from a teeny little town where I wasn’t always understood and music was my first love,” The Prince explained afterward. “And over the years I’ve become known for other things other than music, but I wanted to come to a place where I could tap back into that original joy.”
The judges suspected The Prince might be boy band singers,AJ McLeanorJC Chasez, or even Broadway starsBen PlattorAndrew Rannells.
Space Bunny came out next for Team Cuddly. “I come from a tiny borough where time seems to slow down,” Space Bunny explained in the clue package, which featured two angels, a crown, a boom box and a drill. “Everyone lived off the land and danced in the streets.”
“I hope you’re the one to represent us Cuddlies in the finale,” the comedian added.
Cannon, 41, asked Space Bunny how he felt and the rabbit said, “I’m feeling great, man. It’s good to be here. I’m just trying to get some bling.”
The panel thought Space Bunny could be Sean Kingston,Owen Wilson(a guess of Jeong’s that the studio audience booed) or Shaggy.

“Once upon a time we were three queens from very different worlds,” one of them confirmed in the clue package.
The video also showcased a bowl of chili peppers, a photo ofMariah Carey,Celine DionandAriana Grandeplaying the saxophone, and a price tag for $0.00. Queen Cobra then croonedSilk Sonic’s “Leave the Door Open.”
“You guys are my favorite singers this season,” Thicke, 45, told the trio.
Cannon asked Queen Cobra to pick a favorite fairytale and one of the members said the group likesThe Wiz.
Girl groups SWV and En Vogue, as well as Grande,Jessie JandNicki Minaj, came up as possible identities for Queen Cobra.
Then, it came time for the panel and studio audience to cast their vote for their favorite performance of the night; the contestant with the most votes would move forward.
Cannon revealed that Space Bunny would be the first singer heading home.
Jeong and McCarthy reiterated their previous guesses of Wilson and Kingston, respectively, but Thicke nailed it with hisShaggyhypothesis — and Scherzinger, 43, agreed. When Space Bunny removed his helmet, the “It Wasn’t Me” singer, 53, appeared.
