“The Masked Singer” showbird is revealed. Who was under the mask?

It was a wild “Footloose Night” on “The Masked Singer.”

To celebrate the iconic film’s 40th anniversary, Robin Thicke opened the October 2 episode with a hilarious rendition of Kenny Loggins’ “Footloose.” Host Nick Cannon and panelists Rita Ora, Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg all joined in before the competition began.

What did each participant demonstrate?

Showbird performed “Let’s Hear It For the Boy” by Deniece Williams, while Ship performed “Almost Paradise” by Mike Reno and Ann Wilson.

Woodpecker stunned the panelists by singing Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out For a Hero.” The final performance of the night was the Buffalos singing “Waiting for a Girl Like You” by Foreigner.

Before Showbird was unmasked, the panelists guessed who was under the mask.

Given all the clues given in the last two episodes, Jeong insisted it was Yvette Nicole Brown. Thicke agreed with Jeong on this assumption.

McCarthy Wahlberg guessed it was Taraji P. Henson and Ora thought it was Sheila E.

So who was under the mask? Jeong was right — it was his former Community co-star Yvette Nicole Brown.

“I don’t know why I’m getting emotional about this,” Brown said. “This is a love letter to Ken (Jeong). They’ve been asking me to do this show for years. Singing is my first love and it’s hard when it doesn’t work out and that’s why I always said no.”

Jeong praised his longtime friend, saying, “Honestly, we’re a family,” adding that they’ve been through so much together. “I love you so much.”

At the end of the show, Ora said, “Your voice is phenomenal.”
