Four costumed celebrities remained atop the April 1 finale of “The Masked Singer,” a two-hour broadcast that revealed their identities before crowning the winner of Season 14.
The clues have gotten egregiously obvious at this point in the season, so none of the contestants’ long-awaited unmaskings took us by surprise — least of all Kylie Cantrall as Cat Witch, whose identity we’ve known since the premiere. We were, however, a little shocked to see which celebrity ultimately took home the coveted Golden Mask trophy at the end of the night.
Galaxy Girl was the first to take the stage, rocking out to Olivia Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U,” followed by a killer cover of JoJo’s “Leave (Get Out)” from Cat Witch. Next up, Pugcasso melted America’s hearts with a touching rendition of Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors,” and Crane wrapped up the round with a performance of “Together Again” that would undoubtedly garner Janet Jackson’s seal of approval.
Unfortunately, it was the voters’ approval that Crane needed — and she didn’t get it. The feathered phenom was the first to be eliminated in the finale, revealing herself to be former Fifth Harmony member Normani.
This was followed by another trio of performances: Galaxy Girl showed off her softer side with Pink’s “Try,” Cat Witch got “Greedy” with Tate McRae, and Pugcasso lit up the dance floor with Phil Collins’ “Sussudio.” Then came another elimination, with Cat Witch (aka Cantrall) finishing in third place.
So, who emerged victorious as the winner of “The Masked Singer” Season 14? Once the votes were tallied, Galaxy Girl took home the top prize, revealing herself to be Ashlee Simpson. This left Pugcasso (aka “American Idol” winner Phillip Phillips) as this season’s runner-up.
Simpson may not have been the most dynamic vocalist of the final four, but we can’t deny the energy she brought to the stage with every performance. Do you think she deserved to win?
