The Masked Singer Season 12 finale: Fans react to the show's winner reveal

Fox aired The Masked Singer Season 12 finale on December 18, 2024, and crowned the Buffalos, aka Boyz II Men group winners. Seeing the three singers, Wanya Morris, Nathan Morris, and Shawn Stockman, coming out of the Buffalos costume, fans reacted to the group's win.

They became the first group ever to win The Masked Singer. For their finale performance in the singing competition, the Buffalos performed:

  • Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye and
  • Too Good at Goodbyes by Sam Smith.

As the show revealed the winner and their real identity, Boyz II Men performed on The Masked Singer stage for the last time. The group's final performance was "Motownphilly," one of their signature songs.

Before the show's finale, Buffalos shared an emotional message referring to the show's finale and how they have reached the end:

"We had to fight our way out of the hood. We had to overcome the passing of one of the most important people in our lives. And we’ve even had to change our entire sound when we lost a member."

The panelists featured in the show's finale were Rita Ora, Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, and Jenna McCarthy. All the panelists guessed was that the Buffalos were Boyz II Men members. They all guessed correctly during The Masked Singer Season 12 finale.

One of the show fans referred to the competition's finale episode as a "Great finale," while another fan shared that it was the "Best finale."
