Every The Masked Singer Winner, Ranked From Worst to Best
The Masked Singer has become one of the most beloved reality singing shows, and much of its popularity is surely due to its unique premise.
Unlike other singing competitions, the show features celebrities wearing head-to-toe costumes, and the panelists and viewers try to guess the stars' identities after seeing them perform.
Eight seasons of The Masked Singer have completed so far, and the ninth one is currently airing on Fox. Let's look at the show's winners and see who's the least and most popular, according to fans.
8. Firefly/Teyana Taylor (Season 7)
Almost every fan agrees that Teyana Taylor was the worst winner by far, and some go as far as to call her an embarrassment to the whole show.
7. Queen of Hearts/Jewel (Season 6)
Jewel's costume was imaginative conceptually but boring in practice because it constrained the singer's movements quite a bit. Despite her great vocals, a few fans claim Jewel did not even deserve her victory at all.
6. Night Angel/Kandi Burruss (Season 3)
Sure, Kandi Burruss is a good singer, but not as good as the best of the winners. Her costume was impressive, though.
5. Piglet/Nick Lachey (Season 5)
Most fans agree that Nick Lachey's Piglet was great overall — but a bit generic.
4. Monster/T-Pain (Season 1)
Picking a contestant for the fourth place is tricky, as there are a number of winners who were good but didn't excel. T-Pain's Monster earns the middle place by virtue of being the show's original winner.
3. Harp/Amber Riley (Season 8)
This is another winner with an outstanding voice, but her costume was too restrictive to allow for better stage presence. That's why Amber Riley ends up third on our list.
2. Sun/LeAnn Rimes (Season 4)
Many fans rate Sun highly for her excellent singing, but some think LeAnn Rimes is yet another case of 'angelic voice, boring costume' — so she does not get the first place.
1. Fox/Wayne Brady (Season 2)
Reactions to Fox are somewhat polarizing, but the majority believes that Wayne Brady was one of the best showmen and singers to ever grace the competition.
The current ninth season winner is yet to be announced. Be sure to watch the next episode as it airs on Fox on May 3, 2023.
