Filipino singer and television host Billy Crawford has won the ninth season of Mask Singer France, marking his second triumph in a French talent competition. He was declared the grand winner on June 27, 2026, during the final competition held in France (June 28 in the Philippines).
Unmasking as The Donkey
Crawford performed under the costume of The Donkey (L’Âne) throughout the season, surprising viewers when he finally unmasked himself. He defeated 22 other contestants to claim the title.
In the finale, Crawford performed Michael Jackson's “Beat It.” Earlier in the competition, his performances included “Let’s Get It Started” by the Black Eyed Peas, “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi, “I Got You (I Feel Good)” by James Brown, “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson, and “Le Portrait” by Calogero.
Previous French Victory
This is not Crawford's first victory in France. He previously won Season 12 of Danse avec les stars, the French version of Dancing with the Stars, in 2022.
Crawford's Reaction
“This was an absolutely amazing experience!” Crawford said in a social media post. “Thank you to my Mask Singer TF1 family for keeping me a secret for a whole month! Thank you to the costume designers for your incredible patience and for the countless adjustments you made along the way. To everyone who voted for me, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
