The Masked Singer 7 Predictions: Who is Firefly, Ringmaster, Prince?

The season 7 format had three groups of five contestants compete one after another in three week mini-contests. A winner emerged at the end of each set: Firefly is the Group A champ, Group B gave fans Ringmaster and Prince prevailed from Group C. Another gimmick this season had each contestant assigned as either “Good,” “Bad” or “Cuddly.” All three contestants are from the “Good” team and will compete in the finale to win the “Golden Mask.”

But who ARE the celebrities behind the masks? As always, fans have done a good job of sleuthing throughout the season. We feel pretty certain that the internets have uncovered the identities of each of the three finalists. Let’s dig in.

The Masked Singer season 7 finale airs on FOX May 18 at 8 pm ET/PT. Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong, and Nicole Scherzinger sit on the panel. Nick Cannon hosts. 

Firefly is Teyana Taylor

Firefly emerged the winner of Group A, beating out McTerrier (Duff Goldman), Ram (Joe Buck), Thingamabob (Jordan Mailata) and Cyclops (Jorge Garcia).  She impressed the panel with performances of “Ain’t Nobody” by Chaka Khan, P.Y.T by Michael Jackson and “Attention by Charlie Puth.

Ringmaster is Hayley Orrantia

Hayley Orrantia, who is surely behind the Ringmaster mask is an impressive vocalist. But people know her mostly as a regular cast member of the long-running ABC sitcom, The Goldbergs. However, fans of singing shows knew her first as a contestant on the first season of X Factor USA in 2011 as part of the manufactured country pop group, Lakoda Rayne. 

The winner of Group B, Ringmaster beat out Lemur (Christie Brinkley), Hydra (Penn & Teller), Miss Teddy (Jennifer Holliday) and Armadillo (Dog the Bounty Hunter). She performed “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus, “Super Bass” by Nicki Minaj and “I Will Always Love You” by Dolly Parton.
