The viewers of The Masked Singer Season 13 were left in awe after a very mysterious Nessy gave his real identity. The revealing episode of Soundtrack of My Life Night could be seen as the most touching of the whole season, but still, it didn’t go without a shocking discovery in the voting process. (truncated)
Nessy was none other than singer Edwin McCain, most famously known for his 1998 hit “I’ll Be.” The decision to axe him was made by a difference of votes, the smallest ever in the show’s history — less than 1 percent.
A Performance with True Pain Inside
McCain was not visible underneath, but that was, of course, Nessy the whole time. He very emotionally sang Lady Gaga’s song Million Reasons. Also, he communicated his good wishes to the whole world through TV and music that reached the heart of his fellow-men and women panelists and the people out there.
The song’s emotional and powerful performance failed to win the votes. The fact is, it was not something totally unexpected; the outcry for the song was quite impressive though.
Ken Jeong from the panel went to say, “That might be the most emotional moment we’ve had all season.”
Guessing Games and Panel Reactions
Throughout the season, the panelists were troubled in identifying Nessy since they always came up with guesses that were too far-fetched. From Dave Matthews to Daryl Hall, the range of guesses was broad. But definitely, the one to make a good attempt was Robin Thicke shading the name of Edwin McCain and right before the take-off, he actually did it.
Therefore, his guess predicted exactly the same as the one made by Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, the winner of the challenging match for the Golden Ear Trophy. The trophy is given to the one the panelist with the most correct guesses throughout the season.
When McCain appeared on stage in his Nessy costume, he was extremely excited about the unexpected event, and he even revealed that some of his kids didn’t know he was on the show. “I can’t wait for them to be like, ‘What?’” he expressed with a chuckle.
Nessy’s Influence
While McCain was not going to the next round, The Masked Singer saw a sudden rise of reminiscences after he appeared and sung the numbers, This got to the fans who took to their social media to narrate how they used to listen and rock to his songs and how cool and powerful his voice was when they saw his comeback.
Nessy’s under his band has been declared one of the most emotional character runs seen on the show. Also, his removal is already getting predicted to be the most infamous thus far in Season 13 history.
