Another mask came off on The Masked Singer Semi-Finals: The Final Three. After four weeks of amazing stage presence, interesting clues, and memorable performances, it was finally time for the Strawberry Shortcake mask to reveal the face behind it. As the mask came off, AJ Michalka, from the infamous musical duo Aly & AJ waved to the world. AJ is a singer, an actor, and a songwriter, known for her appearances in many hit films.

As she leaves the stage, she joins Goo, Sherlock Hound, Royal Knight, Ice King, Macaron, Bluebell, Chess Piece, Dust Bunny, Ship, Woodpecker, Showbird, and Leaf Sheep. This leaves Buffalo and Wasp as the two finalists on The Masked Singer Season 12.

Unfamiliar with her identity, AJ has been receiving immense support and love from the fans of The Masked Singer. People have been loving her voice and many wanted her to make it to finals.

Strawberry Shortcake Performances on The Masked Singer Season 12 Episode 12

During The Masked Singer Semi-Finals: The Final Three, Strawberry Shortcake performed not once but twice. For her first performance, she performed a heartfelt rendition of Lose You to Love Me by Selena Gomez. However, this performance was alone not enough for her to try and make her place in the finals.

After Wasp got the maximum amount of votes and made it to the finale, Buffalo and Strawberry Shortcake entered their first "Masked Royale" face-off. They both sang Counting Stars but it was Buffalo who impressed the rest.

The Strawberry Shortcake mask finally came off and revealed AJ Michalka behind the mask. Sister to Aly from Aly & AJ, this The Lonely Bones star had given some of the most terrific performances this season. Throughout her journey, she has performed Slow Burn by Kacey Musgraves, Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus, I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack, and Closer by Tegan and Sara.
