The Masked Singer Season 13 Episode 11 Recap: The final five contestants perform on stage as Nessy faces elimination

The Masked Singer judges Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Rita Ora, alongside show host Nick Cannon, return for the Quarter Finals. In the newly released April 23, 2025, episode, the remaining five contestants—Nessy, Boogie Woogie, Coral, Pearl, and Mad Scientist Monster—performed at the Soundtrack of My Life Night.

After a series of predictions by the panelists, Robin's guess about Nessy's identity was declared correct during elimination. The Masked Singer Season 13 Episode 11, titled Quarter Finals: Soundtrack of My Life Night, was released exclusively on FOX on April 23, 2025. The episode synopsis reads as follows:

"The final five perform 'Sk8er Boi,' 'Million Reasons,' 'Golden Hour,' 'Your Love' and 'The Scientist'; one celebrity must reveal themselves while the rest advance to the semifinals."

Nessy's identity was revealed on The Masked Singer season 13 episode 11

First up on stage was Coral during the Soundtrack of My Life Night, where she sang Sk8er Boi by Avril Lavigne. Coral told the audience that this song was special to her as she expressed gratitude to her parents for their unconditional support. The clue, on the other hand, was a hint from Coral's fellow co-star, who praised her work ethic and how they transitioned from being castmates to best friends.

The Masked Singer judges guessed Coral's identity—Rita took Hilary Duff's name, while Ken and Robin stated Coral was Ashley Tisdale and Nina Dobrev, respectively. Next up on stage was Nessy, who performed Million Reasons by Lady Gaga, dedicating this song to his daughter.

Nessy's clue package consisted of a message from his daughter, who revealed that he was active on social media. The panelists, including Ken, thought John Popper was behind the mask. Jenny said it was Uncle Kracker, and Robin mentioned Edwin McCain's name.

Then, Boogie Woogie sang Golden Hour by JVKE, sharing that this song reminded him of his wife. His wife gave hints to the panelists when she mentioned that Boogie Woogie was a singer and songwriter. She said:

"And, while he'd never mention it himself, I'm here to share that his work has helped so many others process their own grief, overcome illness, and, honestly, some fans have even said saved their lives."

The judges' prediction for Boogie Woogie's identity was:

• Robin: Daniel Powter
• Rita: Charlie Puth
• Jenny: Brandon Flowers

Additionally, Pearl sang Your Love by The Outfield, and Mad Scientist Monster showcased his singing skills by covering The Scientist by Coldplay. Robin shared that Bonnie Tyler was behind the Pearl mask, while Rita predicted it was Wynonna Judd instead. Jenny's guess differed from her fellow The Masked Singer panelists; she stated Pearl was Brandi Carlile.

The guesses for Mad Scientist Monster were as follows:

• Robin: Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts
• Ken: Kane Brown
• Rita: Jelly Roll

Towards the end of the episode, Nessy was eliminated from the competition series as he unmasked himself. For the final guesses, as per the last clue, Jenny took John Rzeznik's name, Robin and Rita guessed Edwin McCain and Dave Matthews, respectively. Ken, on the other hand, predicted Nessy was John Popper.

Robin's guess turns out to be right when Nessy reveals his identity as Edwin McCain. New episodes of The Masked Singer Season 13 air every week on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT exclusively on FOX.
