The Black Swan took her last flight and gave her final swan song on the season 5 finale of The Masked Singer Wednesday night.
After a rousing rendition of Michael Bolton’s “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You,” the sultry bird ended up in second place behind the Piglet, and was revealed to be chart-topping R&B and pop singer JoJo. Ahead, EW talks to the singer about what her time on the show meant to her, which of her famous friends (and past TMS contestants!) knew she was on this season, and her upcoming new music.
Because it looks so crazy! When I was watching last season, I was like, “Oh my god, this is the wildest show I’ve ever seen.” And when the show was coming to America, I was aware of it, and they had asked me if I would be a part of it in previous seasons, but I wasn’t ready. And I hadn’t really watched it until last season. So I was scared because I feel like these contestants make it look really easy, but something told me that it was going to be kind of strange inside of that costume. And it was! It was super heavy. It kind of felt like singing into a pillow. It really forced me to not take myself too seriously, which is definitely something that I needed. But even when you know it’s something you need, sometimes it’s still nerve-wracking to face it.
