It took about two months, but finally, the world has learned the identities of the mysterious bee and peacock performers on The Masked Singer. Spoiler alert: they're none other than two legendary names in the music industry—Donny Osmond and the incredible Gladys Knight. While the monster costume ultimately took home the victory crown, with T-Pain behind the mask, it was Donny and Gladys who truly stole the spotlight.

Donny Osmond and Gladys Knight's Unforgettable Performances

For those who tuned in, the excitement was palpable as the masked singers dazzled the audience with their incredible talents. Gladys Knight, the 74-year-old queen of soul, emerged from her peacock costume to reveal herself as the second runner-up. Known for hits like "Midnight Train to Georgia," she brought a unique flair to the competition. Reflecting on her experience, Gladys said, "We should always push ourselves to try new things." On the challenge of staying hidden, she admitted, "It was tough for me because I couldn't see anything. The eyes are so important—they connect us. Being in that costume made it hard to see you, to connect with you, and that's what gives me courage."

Donny Osmond: A Runner-Up With a Heart Full of Joy

Donny Osmond, the first runner-up at 61 years old, had the simplest and most heartfelt reason for joining the show: "Because it's fun! I had the time of my life here. This is the best experience of my life—it's even better than being Donny Osmond!" The enthusiasm didn't stop there. Fans were thrilled to see both legends continuing to thrive in the music world. In fact, Gladys recently performed the National Anthem at this year's Super Bowl in Atlanta, proving her timeless talent. Meanwhile, Donny, who's also Marie Osmond's brother, is busy working on yet another album—his 62nd!
