Warning: This post contains spoilers from the latest episode ofThe Masked Singer.
The Masked Singerhonored a living legend on Wednesday night when Group B covered hits from SirElton John’s songbook.
Then Hawk took flight.
“As a young bird, I was always hanging out with adults and grew up pretty fast into the family business,” Hawk said in his clue package. “But around other birds my age, I was super shy, closed-off. I felt alone, like a total reject, until I heard a sound that changed my life in the blink of an eye — heavy guitar chords blaring from my speakers that got my teen heart beating.”

The package also showed a treasure chest, a New York postcard and a full moon.
When an extra clue came out for Hawk, it showedMiley Cyrus.
“Just like the great Elton John, I, too, have collaborated with Miley Cyrus,” Hawk said. “And I loved every second of it.”
The panel, which also includesKen JeongandNicole Scherzinger, guessed that Hawk might beAustin Butler,Corey Feldman,Cole SprouseandFall Out Boy’sPete Wentz.
Husky pawed their way up to the stage next.
“When I first hit the scene, I had a strange effect on the female species,” Husky said in their clue package. “Every time I got on the stage, they showered me with love and sometimes their underthings.”

Husky said that now they take “more interested in my own brood that the trappings of fame” and displayed a crying laughing emoji, a carousel, a chocolate bar andMother Nature(a.k.a. season 6’sVivica A. Fox) in the package, too.
The dog tackled “Bennie and the Jets” and afterwards, the Men in Black brought out a spaceship ride as Husky’s additional clue.
“I skyrocketed up the charts and landed on this platinum album,” Husky explained.
“The Royal Hen is set to hold court,” a narrator said in Royal Hen’s clue package, which also featured The Eiffel Tower, a hot dog and a football. “A true trailblazer, she is famous for championing equal opportunity for all.”
The narrator mentioned that Royal Hen had “90 million subjects” and “her name is etched in history.”

Royal Hen covered “Philadelphia Freedom,” and for her additional clue, the Men in Black delivered a heart with a medal on it to the stage.
“I won thePresidential Medal of FreedomfromPresident Obama,” Royal Hen revealed.
The panel tossed outBillie Jean King,Rita MorenoandGloria Steinem— who Thicke, 46, claimed once dated his dadAlan— as options for Royal Hen.
Tiki closed out the new arrivals.
“I’ve always wanted to be a rockstar!” Tiki said in their clue package. “As a kid, I knew I had the pipes, so when my dream came true, it made perfect sense.”
Tiki shared that they sold “millions of records,” but added, “I was a stiff drink with a loose mouth and I got myself in a lot of trouble.”

“I was left feeling my career would be poured down the drain,” Tiki continued. “Instead, I cleaned up my act, stepped out on my own and showed that I’m still at the top of my game.”
The package featured an alarm clock with “snooze” flashing on it, a skull and a monkey.
“I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues” served as Tiki’s additional clue.
“If you’re ever feeling bluesy, you can come to me for a good laugh,” Tiki said.
Guesses for Tiki ranged fromJohn StamostoDavid Lee RothtoRobert Plant.
HostNick Cannonasked the studio audience to vote for their favorite performance of the night, and the two contestants who received the fewest votes would compete in The Smackdown. That ended up being Royal Hen and Hawk, who each put their spin on “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart.”
The panel decided to keep Hawk around, meaning Royal Hen would unmask and fly home. When Royal Hen popped off her feathery mask, 79-year-old tennis legend King — whom Jeong, 54, suspected! — appeared under the beak.
