A "Masked Singer" winner has been crowned, with the Goldfish swimming away with the Golden Mask trophy for Season 11.
On Wednesday night's season finale, the Gumball and Goldfish battled it out, with the Gumball singing "Latch" by Disclosure ft. Sam Smith and "Renegade" by Styx, while Goldfish opted for performances of "Heart of Glass" by Blondie and an emotional run of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" by Elton John.
From a season that brought us everyone from Sisqó as the Lizard to Chrissy Metz as Poodle Moth and Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard as Beets, the winner this season could have been anyone. But while actor Scott Porter as the Gumball stumped judges Rita Ora, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg and Robin Thicke, Ora and McCarthy-Wahlberg were right on the money, guessing "High School Musical" singer and actress Vanessa Hudgens.

Talking with USA TODAY last year, Hudgens assured there was "definitely not new music" in the works, and despite her "Masked Singer" win, she's still sticking to that promise.

The "Bad Boys" star told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published Wednesday that her plans for music remain the same.
"I always say life is about priorities and that's just not a top priority right now," she said. "Who knows? Maybe down the line, maybe it will be, but as of now, it's still no."

The "Princess Switch" actress recalled that her appearance on the series has been a long time coming, with the show asking her to appear on the show "years ago."
"This kind of just came around at the perfect time, and my fans had been asking, saying, 'We want more music, we want singing anything, give it to us please,'" she said. "And I was like, you know, this would be a really interesting way to give my fans what they want, but make sure they're really fans. And they are!"
Hudgens also discussed how her friendship with Ora, a first-time judge on the American adaptation of the series, complicated her time on the show.
"We were with each other about two weeks before the show started, and I found out after the fact that she was a judge, and I was like, oh God," she told the outlet. "And then I had my first performance, and she guessed it was me, and then I was like, 'Well, there goes our dinner plans,' because I cannot sit at a dinner table and stare at her in the face and not be like, 'Girl.' But yeah, no, she's the best."
