Backstreet Boy Nick Carter was unmasked as "the Crocodile" while superstar recording artist Aloe Blacc was revealed to be "the Mushroom."

Singer, songwriter and actress Leann Rimes was revealed as "the Sun" after her unforgettable rendition of "Cuz I love you," by Lizzo.

efore being unmasked, Rimes reflected on her time on the show fighting for the Golden Mask trophy.
 
"The best part of this has been people being able to feel the essence of me without the preconceived idea of who or what I am," she told judges Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger and Robin Thicke. 

Season 5 of "The Masked Singer" will kick off on Wednesday, March 10, from 8-9 p.m. ET/PT on FOX.
