The semifinalists of the 'The Masked Singer' Season 12 have been revealed! In Episode 10 of the Fox singing competition titled 'Quarter Finals: Merging of the Masks', the remaining contestants—Goo, Wasp, Buffalo, and Strawberry Shortcake — delivered some truly spectacular performances. Wasp wowed the judges and audience by singing a beautiful rendition of 'Standing Next to You' by Jungkook, while, Goo performed 'Iris' by Goo Goo Dolls. On the other hand, Strawberry Shortcake sang 'Closer' by Tegan and Sara, and Buffalo wrapped up with 'You’re Still the One' by Shania Twain.

Wasp and Buffalo directly advanced to the semi-finals after receiving more support, which meant Goo and Strawberry Shortcake were left to compete against each other in an "epic smackdown." Goo kicked off by belting out 'Hold On, I’m Comin' by Sam & Dave and soon after, Strawberry Shortcake sang Alessia Cara's 'Scars To You Beautiful.' After the final vote, Strawberry Shortcake became the third semifinalist, sending Goo home. The celebrity hiding his real identity behind the Goo mask was revealed to be NFL player Kodie Turner.
