"I grew up in a small, small town that was surrounded by cows. Most people in the town didn't really go anywhere but I always had bigger dreams. So I left, and I traveled around the entire world looking for my destiny. To be the greatest of all time. The doors I knocked on simply didn't open. I heard "no" again and again and again. But I didn't give up. I became my own boss, and eventually Hollywood and even "Forbes" took notice. There's so much left for me to prove, and I want to do that here."

"When I was in school, I marched to the beat of my own drum. There was one place where I felt the most free to be myself: my garage. In that dusty space, I created my own world. I put on shows, I gave the best performances, and my shows were always sold out- at least, in my head they were sold out. I lived on my own planet, and tonight I'm singing a song that reminds me of that time- and my very first crush, which inevitably also means my first heartbreak. And I think it's true what they say: the first one hurts the most."

"I am no stranger to a house party. My parties are notorious for having great music, everybody dancing. It is Litty City Committee. As a kid, I was actually a wallflower. But now I'm the life of the party. There couldn't be a more important time for me to perform this specific song and show my solidarity and my support to the one and only, Britney Spears. There are so many challenges in doing the dancing. My feet have never felt more gigantic, but I know that I definitely have what it takes and tonight, I get to be in the centre of the ring."

"If I could revisit any time in my life, it might surprise you. It was when I made one of the most risky moves and left my stable job to go and chase my dreams. And like the Fresh Prince, suddenly my life was turned upside down. I found myself alone in a strange new place, living in an apartment full of cockroaches. But when I look back at that moment, I'm just unbelievably proud cause the risk absolutely paid off. Here I am chasing my dreams, singing on The Masked Singer. The rumor around set is that I ask more questions than all the other contestants combined. I'm just very, very nosy. It is killing me to not know who I'm up against. I've been like running to the bathroom unexpectedly to hopefully catch someone, and I haven't seen anything. I think the lesson to be learned here is to only worry about what I can control, and that is a great life lesson for me to learn."

"Last time, that number was very vulnerable. I had to dig deep and I showed the panel exactly what I could do. I cannot believe that I am in the semifinals. I'm absolutely the most nervous I've ever been in my entire life/career. I'm used to being a solo performer, but this is a whole new level of pressure. I have a habit of comparing myself to other people, to the point where it can be almost crippling. Skunk is incredible. I think I know who that voice is, it's somebody I listened to since I was a child. So for this round, I've chosen a song that I hope will let everyone know that I am a true triple threat. If I were unmasked, I would definitely be devastated because I so desperately wanna get into the Group A finals."

"After years of chasing my destiny, I got a big break. I thought it would change my life, but instead I changed myself because of what people around me were saying, which I regretted for a long time. But one day I woke up and I realized that the qualities that I was hiding were actually what gave me my superpowers. When I was true to myself, my success skyrocketed. And now I have the opportunity to inspire others who maybe think that they don't fit in with their herd. And as you can see, I'll never miss the chance again to express myself."

"The fact that I'm so close to the end of this competition is just mind-boggling to me. I'm a person who's never really believed in my voice. And I'm gonna be honest, when I first saw the Bull, I was not 100% sold on it. It didn't really feel like it resonated with who I am. But with every round, I discovered what I had in common with the Bull. I am tough. I'm a romantic. I'm a fighter. I think I've learned that in order to find out who you are, you have to forget everything you already think you know. And this is that for me. This week, I've been learning a duet with Turtle himself. Jesse McCartney. I'm ready to get out there and absolutely earn my spot in the finale."

“When I was younger, I always felt like I was playing a character. Boys are supposed to play sports and I tried. Boys aren’t supposed to let their emotions show, so I tried that too. But secretly, I always knew I was someone else. And when there’s no role models like you , it can make you feel invisible. It took me a long time to find the people who saw me for who I truly am, and that changed everything. Now my focus is to help others who are looking for their place. I appreciate the patience people have had with me. I haven’t always said the right things or done things perfectly, but I’ve always marched towards a better future for all. I promised myself to always be bold, strong, and celebrate exactly who I am.”

"Not many people know this, but before this "Masked Singer" experience, I was in a place where I was starting to second guess whether or not I should keep performing. It felt like no matter how hard I worked, I was always going to be limited because of who I am, How I am, and what I stand for. And sometimes you wake up and you're like, "Is there a point to keep moving forward?" I was ready to walk away from it all. And then I got this call to put on a bull costume and play, and I answered. I said "Hello. Sign me up." Each round, I fell more and more in love with this experience, but the best part was being in front of the world without judgment. Being accepted behind the mask, it felt like the way the world should be. And becoming the Group A winner has reignited a flame inside of me that's made me know without a shadow of doubt that this is what I was born to do. My last performance is stripped down, and I can hardly listen to this song without crying. At some time, we've all felt invisible."
