PearlKicking things off is the show-stopping Pearl, who shares what making the finale means to the performer who always brings shine and sizzle to the stage: "Every time I put on this Pearl costume, I think it's so strange that I've pulled off being this bejeweled princess. It's so unlike me. I'd say the hoodie and sweatpants is more in line with who I am. What can I say? I'm gritty, raw, unapologetic. I've always been that way. A lot of times, especially when I was first starting out, it stood in the way of my success. I'll never forget this one time I was singing for a record exec, and I see out of the corner of my eye, him writing down 'N-O.' I was about to break into tears right then there, so I just closed my eyes, kept on going, and finished the audition. Turns out, what that note said was 'N-O-W.' Sign her now! What a difference one letter can make. Even after all these years, I think people still don't know what I'm capable of ¡ª until now! Being here, I've been able to come out of my shell and show my range. Tonight, I'm hoping to get another 'W.' It would mean the world to win that Golden Mask trophy." Pearl sang "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" by?KT Tunstall?before receiving a surprise phone call from her daughter. Pearl responded, "That means the world. I'm so proud of my daughter. To hear her say that she's proud of me ¡ª I'm floored. I am crying." The panelists' then reviewed their guesses for the season including?Shania Twain,?Faith Hill,?Kacey Musgraves,?Madonna,?Joan Jett,?Pat Benatar, and?Melissa Etheridge.
CoralNext up is Coral, who shares what this journey has been like for her: "As a little girl, I had those Audrey Hepburn?Breakfast at Tiffany's?dreams. Staring at the old Hollywood movies from the other side ¡ª wishing one day to be just like the glamorous stars in them. My wish came true! I became a part of one of the biggest franchises of all time. Now there are little girls watching me! It's so surreal. But, I didn't want it to just stop there. For years I was trying to release my music ¡ª to be a pop star. But people weren't listening. They just thought of me as that girl from those movies.?The Masked Singer?is the perfect place to come when you've got something to prove. Here, I was given the opportunity to show that I am a triple threat. I've grown so much since I've started this. I've found my confidence, I've found my range, and I've even found that I can do it all in knee-high boots! Tonight, I'm dreaming about that trophy. Winning it would take me over the moon." Coral sang "Moon River" by?Audrey Hepburn?before receiving a surprise phone call from her dad. Coral responded, "It means so much.

Boogie WoogieNext up is everyone's favorite disco daddy, Boogie Woogie, who shared this: "Before I got here I watched?Masked Singer?at home and thought it looked like such a good time, but it's been so much more. Becoming Boogie has brought tons of joy. It's also unlocked so many emotions. Back when I was just getting started, I was doing the starving artist hustle. I practiced in my tiny apartment performing for no one, telling my family, 'Don't give up on me. I've got this.' Until one day, I got a knock at the door and a neighbor told me, 'Your voice sucks. Give up the dream.' Their words hit me hard. They pierced my positivity, but I refused to let them stop me. Now that I'm a dad, I would give anything to protect my kids from rejection, but I've realized that a big part of life is learning how to push through the pain. There's always beauty on the other side. You find yourself where you're meant to be ¡ª like here tonight! If I can win that Golden Mask trophy, it will be the ultimate sign for my kids that no dream is ever worth giving up on." Boogie Woogie sang "Freedom! '90" by?George Michael?before receiving a surprise phone call from his daughter. Boogie Woogie responded, "That was my little booger! I love my daughters and I want to show them that positivity and sincerity can win."

Mad Scientist MonsterMad Scientist Monster gave the fourth and final performance before the audience vote, but first shared what this journey has meant to him: "To be honest, this music thing was sort of a happy, crazy accident. I had always thought I'd be an athlete, and when that wasn't the case, I was lost. My dad was the one who motivated me ¡ª and he encouraged me to go the unconventional route. Wow, am I glad I did! Watching him see my success with so much joy over the years is why I keep going. When my group parted ways, he's the one who gave me the strength to know I could go out on my own. Being here has been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reintroduce myself to the world. The warm response has been validating and intoxicating. It's made me think going solo is the right choice after all. Making it to the finale, I'm more encouraged than ever that I'm on the right path. I'll always be grateful to?Masked Singer?for giving me this chance to shine on my own. Regardless, this grand experiment has been a success." Mad Scientist Monster sang "Stay" by?Sugarland?before receiving a surprise phone call from his mom and dad. Mad Scientist Monster responded, "My parents literally mean everything to me.
