On The Masked Singer, Prince was revealed to be Cheyenne Jackson, who placed third, and he revealed which song he would have sung if he had made it to the final round. Cheyenne is an actor and singer who has been featured in many films and television shows and currently plays Max Kingbird on Call Me Kat. He has also starred in nine Broadway shows. Throughout the competition, The Masked Singer panelists, including Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger, were stumped about his identity, guessing everyone from athletes Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez to actors Darren Criss and Andrew Rannells.
As Prince on The Masked Singer, Cheyenne wore a frog mask with bright green skin, dark green eyes and eyebrows, and lots of warts. He was regally dressed in royal attire, wearing a purple and gold outfit. His red velvet cape was trimmed with white fur with black spots. His green shoes emphasized his frog feet. On the top of his head, Prince wore a golden crown. During The Masked Singer finale, Cheyenne placed third behind runner-up Hayley Orrantia (Ringmaster) and winner Teyana Taylor (Firefly) after his crowd-pleasing rendition of "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay. The panelists' final guesses were Ricky Martin (Robin), Ben Platt (Jenny) and Matt Bomer (Ken). Nicole was the only panelist who guessed Cheyenne correctly.
In a video posted by The Masked Singer on Facebook, Cheyenne revealed that if he had made it to the final round of the competition, he would have sung "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen for his final performance. He admitted that he felt "a little disappointed" because he did not have the chance to perform this "killer finale song." Cheyenne said that Freddie Mercury, the legendary lead singer of Queen, "basically taught me to sing." He shared, "Sitting in my room, Northern Idaho, a little queer kid, hearing this voice and seeing this artist, I really wanted to push myself." Cheyenne also said that he had a really great time on The Masked Singer and that he got to show America and the world who he is. He shared that he felt "super, super proud" of what he did and the way that he pushed himself.
Cheyenne went on to say that during The Masked Singer, he chose songs that he had never sung before and really put himself out there. Throughout his time as Prince on The Masked Singer, Cheyenne delivered performances that varied in tempo and genre, including "La Copa de la Vida" by Ricky Martin, "Lay Me Down" by Sam Smith and "Sir Duke" by Stevie Wonder. Whether he was dancing during his uptempo songs or expressing emotion during his ballad, he wowed the panel and the audience with his talent. Cheyenne concluded by saying, "I did the very best I could."
Although Cheyenne did not get the chance to perform his final song choice of "Bohemian Rhapsody" on The Masked Singer, he delivered some of the greatest routines in the history of the show. His singing was superb, and his dancing brought his performances to another level. Cheyenne was truly the Prince of The Masked Singer.
