FOX’s The Masked Singer is quickly becoming one of the hottest reality shows on TV. As someone that consumes reality TV daily, like a multi-vitamin, I can attest to this fact. This show has everything – celebs, singing and scary insane costumes!
The ‘Masked Singer’ is a competition show that has fans guess which mega-celeb is hiding behind the elaborate masks.
Viewers are loving all the mystery and intrigue, ’cause FOX knows we love the drama.
The celebrity judges have been enjoying it just as much as we have.
Jenny McCarthy, Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong and Nicole Scherzinger make up the judges panel.
If you missed last week’s episode, don’t worry boo, I got you! SPOILERS AHEAD, mmmkay?
It was revealed last week that the masked singer behind the hippo costume was NFL dreamboat and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown!
Fans were totally surprised but instantly obsessed!
Also, have you seen Antonio’s face? Let’s keep him unmasked from now on, kk?
The past week’s episode revealed the identity of the second celebrity hiding behind the pineapple costume.
Fans were gagging at this plot twist!
After singing “I Will Survive” it was revealed the pineapple was comedy legend Tommy Chong! Who could have guessed it?!
NAWT me, that’s for sure.
Now heading into episode three, fans have been taking their guess at who the singer behind the bee costume is.
Viewers were given clues last week to help guess who this queen bee really is!
We learned that she has had a long career, in which she’s flown to “soaring heights.”
She tells us that we can call her “Queen Bee,” but “Empress” also suits her.
She also says that by coming onto this show, she’s looking forward to singing to a “new generation.”
“Being a worker bee keeps me young!” She continued.
“Either she’s been famous for a long time or [she’s] old!” announced Jenny, as she scribbled down the clues.
During her clue clip package, the bee was LIVING her best life dancing with these gorgeous, suited up men.
Interesting that this is my new life goal???
The judges guesses were very interesting, to say the least.
After the bee said “you can call me queen bee,” Robin Thicke deadass suggested “Cardi B?”
Hmmmm.
At least Nicole Scherzinger was on the right path.
“So we’re assuming it’s a professional singer?!” she asked.
I knew you were the head Pussycat Doll for a reason, boo!
The bee then sang “Chandelier” by Sia and brought the world to tears, TBH.
There was no denying this was a talented and trained voice that was instantly recognizable, eliminating the possibility of the bee being Cardi B or Beyonce.
Take a listen for yourself before we move any further!
Trust me you wont regret it.
Twitter instantly started blowing up with viewers best guesses.
Tina Turner was one of the first names thrown around.
The bee’s mannerisms and soulful voice lead many to believe it was Ms.Turner behind the mask.
However, not all fans were convinced.
Body movements have been presented as the main evidence that the bee is in fact NOT Tina Turner.
Many fans believe the bee is Gladys Knight.
Crazy, right?!
The iconic 74 year old songstress is known for her soulful vocals and signature dance moves.
RELATED STORIES
She is known to music as the “empress of soul,” which was mentioned as one of the clues!
Also, Chandelier includes the lyric “I’m gonna fly like a bird through the K NIGHT.”
Coincidence? I think not.
Fans are totally convinced it’s Gladys Knight, which I LOVE.
Also her choice of relatively new pop song was a great way to introduce herself to a younger generation who would instantly recognize this bop!
Glady’s has had a long and fruitful career, spanning from the 60’s to the 80’s.
So, it totally makes sense for her to want to come back to television and sing to a new generation!
Remember those suited men I was obsessing over? Fans believe they’re a reference to Gladys and The Pips!
Gladys Knight & the Pips were an R&B/soul family musical act that had a career lasting over three decades, consisting of Gladys, her siblings and their cousins!
Her voice is probably still fresh in many viewers ears since she performed at the American Music Awards this past October.
Her performance was in tribute to the late Aretha Franklin, a fellow superstar songstress.
This weeks episode will reveal if fans are right about the identity of the bee!
I can’t wait to find out this Wednesday night on FOX!
