"The Masked Singer" has finally unmasked two of its grand finalists and one of the contestants the public has been dying to know since was "Macaw."

For those who still don't know who Macaw is, this is a HUGE SPOILER WARNING for you.

'The Masked Singer' Macaw Identity Revealed

"The Masked Singer" Season 19 was quite the season to watch. From icons like Dick Van Dyke, Michael Bolton, and Dee Snider, among many others, it is safe to say that this has got to be one of the most thrilling seasons of the music game show so far!

As the season comes to a close, Macaw and Medusa go head to head on their final battle.

Appearing on Week 6 and singing "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw, Macaw stunned the audience on country music night.

On Week 10, Macaw once again floored everyone with his heartfelt rendition of Ed Sheeran's "Photograph." During the Quarter Finals, Macaw also embodied Rocket Man Elton John by singing "Your Song." At the semi-finals, he sang perhaps one of the most recognizable boy band songs of all time, "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction.

It was a thrilling battle until the finale against Medusa. During the finale he sang two songs - "Hold Back The River" by James Bay and "All By Myself" by Eric Carmen.

As soon as Medusa was crowned the winner, everyone couldn't wait to see the person behind Macaw's mask.

Robin Thicke thought it was Jason Mraz while Jenny McCarthy thought that the triple threat clue was Neil Patrick Harris. While the two judges' guesses seemed close, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger's guests were on the nose, "American Idol" Season 7 finalist David Archuleta.

And as soon as Macaw unmasked himself, it turns out that Scherzinger and Jeong were right after all!

Is David Archuleta Coming In Second Again?

As we all know, Archuleta was a fan favorite on "American Idol" Season 7.

This is why many were quite upset that he lost to David Cook during that season. In "The Masked Singer," Archuleta fell short again.

Billboard asked his thoughts about this, and Archuleta couldn't be any more honest.

"No, to be honest. Medusa was killing it and Bishop Briggs [Medusa] is an incredible performer. I don't think TV does justice to how great a performer she is. She is so alive, and I got goosebumps every time she sang," he revealed.

"The Masked Singer" crowned Medusa, played by "River" hitmaker Bishop Briggs.
