Thanks to a rain delay in last week’s MLB playoffs, The Masked Singer was pushed from the schedule, upsetting loyal fans who were ready for the debut of three new performers on Andrew Lloyd Webber night. A week later, the audience was ready to meet Mermaid, Robo Girl and Maize.
Mermaid entered the second round of the competition after Harp moved on to the semifinals after knocking out Knight, Hedgehog, Hummingbird, Pi-Rat, Panther, the Mummies and Fortune Teller.
After Maize was voted out, Mermaid and Robo Girl competed in a battle royale. They both sang "Don’t Cry for Me Argentina," and eventually Robo Girl moved on while Mermaid was left to reveal her identity.

Mermaid’s clue was “doomsday prepper,” and this was her clue package: “Being here on Andrew Lloyd Webber night is simply the best. But it wasn’t a straight shot to success. Right when my career was taking off, a horrible accident led to a major setback. I was petrified I would never be the same. Let alone perform. But God had greater plans for me. I turned my anguish into an anthem and before I knew it, oh baby, I was back on my feet. I performed for princes and popes. And if I do say so myself, I’m as big a legend as you, Lord Lloyd Webber!”

The judges knew Mermaid’s powerful voice had to belong to a legend. Gloria Estefan, Cher and Roberta Flack’s names came up, but Robin Thicke guessed correctly with Gloria Gaynor.
The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET/PT on Fox.
