Would’ve been the ultimate flex if he had just sung one of his old songs without Autotune.

The fact that a huge rap star starts his journey with a Queen song shows just how much artists respect other artists, regardless of genre.

without this show, millions of people will never understand how musically talented T Pain is.

He's adorable! T-pain deserved this victory!

When he started singing Stay With Me, I started crying uncontrollably and I can't explain why. Something about that performance resonated with something deep inside me. N there was just this outpouring

T-pain don't need auto tune. He is a natural talented guy 🔥🔥

I love how monster gives Nick Cannon a cheeky little slap on the chest as he was writing down the name, it’s the little things that make me laugh 😂

“I was living the good life” Yeah, that was a clue. But I can see why it ran over peoples heads

“Anybody say Tyrese? He has been emotional lately” 😂😭

I love that he was able to show just how talented he is on this show. All the haters must’ve been speechless. I love his song choices too.

"I Don't Want To Be" is still one of my fav performances ever.

I can't believe none of the judges caught it. An artist who's been here for a while and is used to singing to fast beats, was winning awards, and sounded like a ringtone, then was persecuted for the thought that he wasn't being "real" and disappeared. But I guess they got thrown off and focused too much on the sports references.

He's always been underrated! He's incredible and always has been! I hope he puts out a new album cause I'll buy it in a second!

This was probably the best show he could have been on to help his reputation. Love T-Pain!!!

No joke, his covers of I Don't Want to Be and American Woman blow the originals out of the water (and I love them). Simply fantastic!!

T-Pain deserves everything his heart desires. He’s an amazing talent and an amazing person.

I love the song choices that he picked. He wa really able to showcase his vocal range. He deserved that win.

"I'm sorry I thought you were Michael Vick." "It's ok..I love my dogs, I love my dogs" 😂😂😂😂😂

Hmmm.....a rapper that sings better than most singers...... Love this show.

I remember in an interview, he said that one has to fully understand autotune to sing badly ON PURPOSE to get the correction effect PERFECT. I have a new profound respect for T-Pain now

Brah how could they not hear t pain voice like it’s legit a one of a kind voice

The way I cried so hard when he revealed himself and everything just made sense, just not in the way I ever expected cuz I already knew T-Pain was naturally talented, but wow he had the best story and the best performances hands down. I cannot wait to continue this show, I just binged the first season. Insane and so fun

Usher owes this man an apology.

Just saying his voice is SOOOOO clear in there how could they NOT KNOW???!!!!

Kenan: tyrese? He’s been emotional lately. Funniest thing that has ever came out his mouth 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Look at his footwork!!!” Lmao … that’s gang steppin 😂 how naive the “elite” are. T-Pain has a goosebump, heart wrenching, gorgeous voice. Unbelievable 💯

I knew T-Pain could sing, but that’s an understatement. That man can SING. wth man. Also lol @ the clues. They were so obvious when you know what to look for.

HE deserves a seat to be a judge! He's incredible... sending love from the Philippines Big "T"!

The BEST performer there's been on this show, as far as I'm concerned. That's despite loving Wayne Brady... I just keep coming back to this video to watch his performances again after some time's passed. He was so good with his song choices

You have to be a T-Pain fan from the beginning, to know that was him. The underdog always wins!! His gift and talent has showed the world who he really is... T-Pain can do anything... You never know what's going on in his brilliant mind under that 🎩 HAT he use to wear.. Much Love💙

Ah! I cried watching this! T Pain deserves all the love

His Stay With Me is still the best version ever done👀

its the fact that i've had soo many favorites and he's still the best singer so far imo!

I'm getting emotional on each of his performance hahahaha He's so fluid! He can be in anything and this show definitely shut up those persecutors that tried to defame him for not being real! T-Pain tearing up bro just made me tear too, it just sums up how this journey was everything to him, his past, present and future! I think, that bow is his signature lol

When he sang stay with me I instantly started crying 😭 ❤

I was shocked. Now I'm waiting for T Pain new release songs

Sounding like a ring tone was an unforgivable give away butt I'll admit I can't say I would've figured it out though

Him singing Stay with Me gave me ultimate goosebumps!❤❤

Nuh-uh, she did not just say she thought it was Chris brown. I will say that I was stumped by this one for a while too, but that is not even close at all. The songs he chose gave him the edge to keeping it a mystery. I do like how in one of his hints he said “I’m all T’d up.” Which was such a huge hint but they thought it was a golf reference. “Sounding like a ring tone” with the whole auto tune thing.

Mad respect for u T-Pain didn't know u have a great voice and can sing without auto-tune. Love from the Philippines

That monster taught me a lesson to not change myself but stick to what I like to do and always follow dreams

T-Pain is such a good person. So talented and kind.

Duuude…. his voice is seriously the best of the century, like he’s seriously sooooo good

You can't make a good wall without proper bricks. You can't make autotune good without a naturally good voice.

I vote for him if I could I would love to meet him in real life

7:30 Wait a sec...did she just say LIL PUMP!!! We know damn well that's no Lil Pump! 🤣

Literally my favorite character and reveal of all seasons!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

He gave the best clue at 0:49

My #1 fav masked singer of all time! Love love

The teddy bear and T references gave it away right away for me always been a huge fan of T-Pain he was my all time favorite on this show!

Loved all of them, American Woman performance was 🔥

Wow...have watched this so many times..just love T- pain. This is a come back for him.. America needs you. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏

How he ends off some of his high notes screams t pain, BUT, I would never guessed that if I didn’t already know the winner at this time. That’s awesome!

Just thinking that the voice was so unexpected. He deserved this win.

Stay TUNED... that was a subtle clue.

What an amazing voice! I had to watch this twice. So good. Kudos to T-Pain!

He made everything he sang better

Watched this video so many times. T-pain's voice is soooooo good!! Come out with new music to showcase your awesome voice!

I would love to see the original artist of the songs react to his performances ❤

Love love love…he is so awesome! I watch this over and over when I need to lift my spirits.

Nick knew it was T-Pain. LOL

this is my to go happy pill. such great vibes and incredible talent!

This mans a legend. LEGEND.

19:47 tears of joy 😊 Congratulations

Avery very talented person. He deserved ALL awards

This was the only season that I watched and I have to say, Donnie Osmond was amazing, too.

He has such an amazing talent!

I think the fact that he didn't gender change on I Love Rock N Roll probably helped stump people. Personally, I really enjoy when people don't gender change songs.

I guessed T-Pain from the beginning and was so happy to be right!!! He has an amazing singing voice without autotune.

sad to hear what he's gone through but happy he got through them all, and stayed true to himself.

coming back here to cry

I really loved Monster ❤❤❤. I didn't know T-Pain before this show but i'm glad i decided to wstch it and get to know this talented artist 👏👏👏👏

I knew it was T-pain cause I watched epic rap battles and heard his natural voice on the Wonder Woman vs Stevie wonder rap

I’m 2 years late, but thanks for this.

People roast him he can't sing without auto tune even at wild n out by Nick crew. He take that in his heart💔 he was like let's prove them ❌. 😘

It sounds pretty awesome!👍!!

There is beauty in everything even if it's a bit different-Monster.

A última música deveria ter ela toda nuuuuu que vibe da.hora 😊

The show fucked up by putting T Pain on because he used this to fully display his talent. He demolished the other singers 😂

7:38 “pretty soon, i was living the good life”

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 yes T PAIN!!!!

cher was the first person to ever use autotune and yet tpain got the shaft for it.

She said “Lil Jon” 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤣😂😂😂

Im lowkey laughing at the fact that someone really said "Chris Brown maybe?"

Awesome ❤!

I LOVE HIM

One of my happiest moments watching television

I Rewatch this and I realize monster is a fusion of Sullivan and mike from the actual monster inc. 🤯👍👌❤️❤️❤️

He means stay w me he means it. Sir you're a damn good hype man

Yeah, I cried. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

If T Pain goes back today... they won't still get that it's him

i love monster

Very athletic he is, remember One More drink?

He did so good on the stay with me song 🎶

I remember my sister told me that when we listening to his song that he was so good at singing that people think his voice is an autotune

Yo the look everyone gave when she said mike Vick 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

When he did I don't need to be is something I didn't realized I needed

Damn, Nick Cannon knew all along

y'know that "Lil' Jon?" comment (5:29) was the closest correct guess, referencing the autotune "scandal." I am super late to valuing this, but damn he can fucking sing

I think this was a redemption for Usher 's comment to him ' You fuxked up music for real singers'
