After months of clues and performances, the season 3 winner of Fox’s The Masked Singer was finally revealed on Wednesday.
The Night Angel, who turned out to be Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss, beat out the Turtle, aka singer-actor Jesse McCartney, for the crown, and many fans are not happy.
Both contestants have been killing it week after week, but many viewers thought Turtle’s Jesse was the total package, which makes sense considering he started out in the boyband Dream Street.
One fan tweeted: "When the trash, pitchy voice Night Angel beats Jesse McCartney #TheMaskedSinger"
Another wrote: "Turtle definitely should’ve won. You can feel Jesse’s voice vibrate in your heart. He deserved a W after his talent being overlooked for so long!!"
A third said: "After this finale, I’m gonna need live voting from here on out. My man, Jesse, was ROBBED."
Though many were upset with the outcome, Kandi, the first woman to win Masked Singer, still had quite a bit of fan support.
Some said they were "so happy" for her and others were "proud" and said Kandi "deserves" the win.
The Masked Singer season 3 finale aired on Wednesday, with the top 3 contestants — Frog, Night Angel and Turtle — battling it out for first place.
Frog, who turned out to be Bow Wow, as people have been guessing since episode 1, performed P. Diddy’s Bad Boys for Life before later taking third place on the competition series.
Turtle came out next, singing Lewis Capaldi’s finale-fitting Before You Go, but it didn’t end up being enough to be beat Night Angel, who hit the stage with Tina Turner’s River Deep, Mountain High.
All three stood on the stage while host Nick Cannon announced Frog would be the first of them to leave and have to unmask, and after the panelists made their final guesses, the contestant removed his mask and showed himself to be rapper and Like Mike actor Bow Wow.
With just Turtle and Night Angel left, the host revealed, after some suspenseful moments of waiting, that Night Angel was the winner of season 3 and the show’s Golden Mask trophy.
So many fans were proved right when the green-costumed contestant unmasked and Jesse McCartney, 33, was the celebrity found underneath.
The Summerland actor, who released his new song Friends on Wednesday, shared with the audience of placing second: “I’m just stunned that I’m even here. Hats off to Night Angel who crushed. This is an experience I’ll never forget.”
As the winner, the purple-winged singer was the last to reveal herself, but when she did, all of the evidence pointing to her being Xscape alum Kandi Burruss, 44, were shown to be correct.
She said: “This feels incredible…I just really appreciate you guys for helping me build my confidence back up.”
Fox recently announced it plans to have The Masked Singer return with its season 4 premiere in the fall.
