| “How does a mushroom grow up to be a healer and a scholar? I sprouted up underground, young, scrappy and funky. I started out in the rat race at a job that may surprise you. Then, the world turned upside down, and I got my shot to turn a hobby into a career. At first, the suits didn’t didn’t understand me.” Man in Black 1: “Grow less.” Man in Black 2: “Smile, spore.” “Nah, I kept growing and grinding until somebody said yes to this, and finally I got to be in the shroom where it happens. Now I’m able to rise up and help others grow. It may have been a broken road to get here, but it means the world to share my story on this stage.” | Usher |
| “You know, mushrooms get a bad rap. A lot of people don’t like the taste of us. But I’m here to win the world over, one song at a time. Even as a young shroom, I knew I was offbeat. I often felt like I didn’t belong anywhere. Compared with the other fungi, I had totally different roots.” Orange Juice: “You can’t sit with us!” “I was around strange food and customs. But then I realized that under the surface, we’re all entangled together as one. And even a porcini or cremini can be a prom queenie. Once I embraced being a nerd, an outcast, I could proudly share my unique gifts. My weirdness has led me here, and now it’s time to fetch the Golden Mask.” | Todrick Hall |
| “Being the Mushroom, it’s been so transformative to get to share my voice in this unexpected way. When i set out to become the Mushroom, my ultimate inspiration was my little shroom, my daughter. I channel her mannerisms, her voice, her love of dressing up every time I step out on this stage. And she doesn’t even know I’m doing this. So I cannot wait to see the look on her face when I unmask tonight. And you’;; be suprised, too, because while most of you have shopped to my music in the supermarket and heard me on the radio, not a lot of you know by my name.But I hope tonight changes all that. I want to win “The Masked Singer” in the name of all of those who have ever felt different. Tonight, for my grand finale, i’m singing my daughter’s favorite song. And I can’t wait to bring her home that golden mask. | Aloe Blacc |
