Before The Masked Singer Season 9 finale airs, there’s one more major battle to overcome — and that’s the semifinals airing on May 10, 2023. As stated before, Macaw, California Roll, and Medusa battle it out.

Early promos show Macaw singing One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful” during the semifinals. The judges seem blown away by the performance, and they’ve been impressed by Macaw’s vocal chops in the past. Fans are convinced that past American Idol star David Archuleta sings beneath the mask.

As for California Roll, the most likely guess is the infamous quintet, Pentatonix. Jenny McCarthy guessed Pentatonix early on, and many fans are convinced that this guess is the correct one.

Finally, the judges have many guesses as far as Medusa is concerned. Medusa has sung the most out of any of the final three. It seems likely she’s Fergie from Black Eyed Peas, but another popular guess includes British singer/songwriter Bishop Briggs.
