The green tea is piping hot!
I thought that would be so cool.

And so it was really exciting, we instantly were like, yes, should we be a robot?
Should we be a five headed dragon?
So then we met withThe Masked Singerteam and landed on the California Roll.

It was way less nerve-racking being in a mask.
You’re so hidden and you just get to be whatever character, singing however you want.
Any discussion about doing it separately or in smaller groups?
MATT SALLEE:I think it was always all five of us performing.
We toyed with the idea of maybe having people not sing from round to round to throw people off.
But we just have so much fun singing together and we really love building together.
And so I think it worked out the way it was supposed to.
And then we finally sync together.
People were like, ‘I think it’s Pentatonix, is it Pentatonix?’
How did choreography work with all of you on stage at the same time in giant costumes?
Having that mask on, your visibility is limited.
So I was just so happy about the collaboration there and the choreography and the movement.
I think we really took that to heart.
Ha, no pun intended.
HOYING:I feel like we definitely all tried to a little bit.
But it didn’t work.
Every comment online was, ‘I knew within 30 seconds.’
I feel like we just truly could not hide ourselves.
You’re about to embark on the European leg of your world tour.
How excited are you to head out there and get on stage?
SALLEE: We’re so excited for this tour.
We’ve always wanted to do a Christmas movie like this.
Do you plan to release any official covers of any of the songs that you performed on the show?
Or maybe even incorporate any of the songs into your own tour?
We’ll definitely do “Creep” on tour.
We all love musical theater in various capacities.
So that one really made a lot of sense to me.
I go, oh, that’s kind of cool.
And everybody trained in musical theater.
So I thought that was very much a compliment to their vocal training as well.
Musical theater nerds are just, they’re the best singers technically.
They just know how to use their voice as an instrument.
So that was a really, really special guess.
HOYING:I just felt very flattered by those guesses.
They were guessing the cast ofHamilton, and I was like, oh my God, thank you.
I also thought it was really interesting they said Alabama Shakes.
What did each of you take away from thisMasked Singerexperience?
It really blows my mind.
Thank you for joining us on stage.
And they felt humbled and we felt humbled too.
It kind of gave us this light bulb moment that this is just the beginning.
OLUSOLA:I would say practically the same thing.
We don’t have to be necessarily just an a cappella group.
So I’m excited for the music that we create from this experience.
The Masked Singerfinale airs Wednesday, May 17 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
