(Photo: Fox)<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p><em>The Masked Singer<\/em> semifinals aired on a special night this week \u2014 Thanksgiving! \u2014 after a whirlwind eighth season that had already seen 18 celebrities go home, often after only performing once. But not all longtime <em>Masked Singer<\/em> viewers were feeling especially thankful for this turkey of a season, due to a drastic new weekly <em>double<\/em>-elimination format that sucked much of the suspense out of what used to be America\u2019s favorite guessing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>. And so, by the time we got to the three \u201creigning queens\u201d who\u2019d managed to survive more than one Season 8 episode and make it to this week\u2019s semifinals \u2014 the Harp, the Lambs, and the Snowstorm \u2014 most viewers were already pulling a Ken Jeong and shouting, \u201cI know <em>exactly<\/em> who this is!\u201d <em>Sigh<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, for those who\u2019d rather watch the Harp vs. Lambs vs. Snowstorm than the Bills vs. Lions or Patriots vs. Vikings while languishing in their post-binge tryptophan stupors, <em>The Masked Singer<\/em> semifinals did provide some quality counter-programming Thursday. All three contestants performed solo, then faced off in an epic three-way battle royale that determined the two advancing to this season\u2019s grand finale.<\/p>\n<p>The Harp totally got the Thanksgiving party started with a sassy, sexy, bopping, octave-hopping performance of Lizzo\u2019s disco-diva anthem \u201cAbout Damn Time,\u201d which surely roused many viewers from their food comas. \u201cShe\u2019s killing it, <em>killing<\/em> it!\u201d judge Robin Thicke shouted midway through, looking utterly stunned. \u201cThat was <em>the<\/em> best performance of the entire season, hands down,\u201d Nicole Scherzinger gushed afterwards. \u201cYou could make me cry with a voice like that. We <em>know<\/em> you\u2019re going to get to the finals,\u201d Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg raved.<\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-iframe-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"caas-iframe youtube\" style=\"padding-bottom:56%;\" data-type=\"youtube\">\n<blockquote data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/6Dm6Tn2iwJg?rel=0\" scrolling=\"no\"><p><noscript><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/6Dm6Tn2iwJg?rel=0\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Up next was the Snowstorm, arguably the weakest singer among the three semifinalists \u2014 during her clues package this week, she even revealed that her childhood vocal teacher once told her she didn\u2019t have \u201cit.\u201d (\u201cThat was the day my dream died,\u201d the onetime wannabe pop star sadly confessed.) It would be tough for the Snowstorm to hold her own against the Harp\u2019s power-vocals and the Lambs\u2019 heavenly harmonies, but her tender performance of Katy Perry\u2019s \u201cThinking of You\u201d was surprisingly magical and captivating. \u201cThat performance was so beautiful, so touching; I can hear your passion behind your voice,\u201d cooed Jenny. \u201cThat vocal has so much texture and purity. That was your best vocal performance,\u201d said Robin. \u201cYou\u2019re peaking at the right time. \u2026 This is your moment,\u201d Ken declared.<\/p>\n<p>But then the Lambs came in like lions, and it was clear that the Snowstorm would be frozen out. Their three-part-harmony cover of Lady A\u2019s \u201cNeed You Now\u201d was so gorgeous and goosebump-raising, they should seriously consider releasing it as a record. \u201cWham, bam, thank you, Lambs!\u201d exclaimed Robin. \u201cI can tell you love music so much. It just comes from your soul and in your veins and in your spirit, and I feel it every time,\u201d said Nicole. \u201cI think this is the most authentic performance of the evening. Amazing, amazing job,\u201d gushed a teary Ken.<\/p>\n<p>This already seemed like a <em>fait accompli<\/em>, but there was still a battle royale of Kelly Clarkson\u2019s \u201cSince U Been Gone\u201d to make it official. In my opinion, the winner of this battle was the Harp, but the judges and studio audience voters determined that the <em>loser<\/em>was the Snowstorm \u2014 so, predictably, she was gone. And, as I\u2019d predicted two weeks ago, she turned out to be co<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>n Nikki Glazer.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki may not have won this battle, nor did she win the <em>Masked Singer<\/em> war, but she could leave the show with her icy head held high, having made it to the top three (a feat that music legends like George Clinton, Ray Parker Jr., and even Gloria Gaynor did not achieve). And she finally fulfilled her long-deferred pop-star fantasy. \u201cThis one\u2019s for you, dream-killer,\u201d she said snarkily, dedicating her respectable <em>Masked Singer<\/em> run to her above-mentioned nasty vocal coach. \u201c[Singing] was the first dream I ever had in wanting to be a performer, and it was squashed at such a young age, and it just became something that was not attainable to me. So, when this opportunity came up, it was so perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-iframe-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"caas-iframe youtube\" style=\"padding-bottom:56%;\" data-type=\"youtube\">\n<blockquote data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/RpSKrfHk-pA?rel=0\" scrolling=\"no\"><p><noscript><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/RpSKrfHk-pA?rel=0\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>So now, let\u2019s look at the two last masks standing\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It was no surprise that the Harp \u2014 whom Ken declared the \u201cfrontrunner for this season\u201d back on episode one \u2014 made it to the finals.

She described herself as an \u201cidol for anyone that felt like an outsider,\u201d which was on-brand with the <em>Glee <\/em>ethos. She introduced herself with the line \u201cAnd I am telling you,\u201d and Amber was in <em>Dreamgirls<\/em>. We have seen a witch\u2019s hat, and Amber played the Good Witch of the North in NBC\u2019s <em>The Wiz<\/em> and performed in <em>Wicked in Concert<\/em>. We saw 3D glasses, a likely reference to the concert movie <em>Glee in 3D<\/em>. She mentioned winning awards for acting, singing, and comedy \u2014 the latter honor shared with her \u201cbesties\u201d \u2014 and Amber has picked up the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical, the Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical Performance, and the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Series<\/a> (for <em>Glee<\/em>, of course).

But in case anyone reading this needs more convincing, these are the clues: We know that these pop-starlets-in-sheep\u2019s-clothing are childhood \u201cbesties,\u201d plus we saw references to SoCal cities Beverly Hills and Venice \u2014 and Chynna Phillips, Carnie Wilson, and Wendy Wilson grew up together in California. We saw the word \u201cFAMOUS\u201d emblazoned across a pair of designer jeans \u2014 and these women have <em>fame<\/em> in their <em>genes <\/em>as the offspring of the Mamas and the Papas\u2019 John and Michelle Phillips and the Beach Boys\u2019 Brian Wilson. We saw a diamond ring \u2014 mostly like a reference to <em>Bridesmaids<\/em>, which featured an iconic Wilson Phillips cameo. And the Lambs bragged that they\u2019ve worked with Paul McCartney \u2014 and Wilson Phillips contributed backup vocals to McCartney\u2019s \u201cFourFiveSeconds\u201d in 2015. Other tipoffs have included a mention of Fleetwood Mac\u2019s \u201cGo Your Own Way,\u201d which Wilson Phillips <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XNrJ0gg_8tY\" data-ylk=\"slk:covered in 2004\" class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp\">covered in 2004<\/a>; \u201cdreaming\u201d (either a reference to the Mamas and the Papas\u2019 biggest hit or to Wilson Phillips\u2019s own single \u201cThe Dream Is Still Alive\u201d); and \u201creality\u201d (Wilson Phillips starred in their own reality TV series, <em>Still Holding On<\/em>, in 2012, and Carnie has <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared on multiple reality shows).
