Rob: Chaka Khan was born in 1953, and the Bee started her career in 1951 or 1952. She the only grammy artist that has 10 grammys next to Taylor Swift and Bonnie Rait. Chaka Khan been singing since she was really young. That’s sad, She is an icon and everyone is missing it! It’s TINA!! She even sang her own song and you don’t get it. Linda: Bee is Chaka Kahn or Bonnie Raitt.Ĭasey: You should all be ashamed. Here’s what some of our savvy readers had to say about Bee’s true identity: SEE ‘The Masked Singer’ producers come clean: Are celebrity contestants singing live or lip-syncing? Patti LaBelle singing like Gladys.” Nicole also voted for Patti, while Jenny instructed them all to “have an open mind” when it came to Bee. Ken noted, “On this show there have been several times that we’re, ‘ definitely this person.’ It could be someone who is also singing like Gladys Knight inside the mask. However, Ken Jeong, Nicole Scherzinger and Jenny McCarthy weren’t as confident as Robin and Kenan. Who in their right mind doesn’t know that’s Gladys Knight? is a gift. Robin once again proclaimed that he thought Gladys was wearing the Bee mask, and he was backed up this time by guest panelist Kenan Thompson, who bragged, “I know exactly who that is 1000%. Tie in the fact that Tina Turner and Gladys Knight have been close friends ever since Turner gave Knight a make-over at age 16, and the clue about the birthday party where Gladys and the Pips got their start, and there is no one else who could fit the bill.In last week’s semi-finals episode, Bee performed Aretha Franklin‘s “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” and was voted into the top three along with Monster and Peacock. The performer with 10 Grammys is Gladys Knight with 7 personal and 3 while recording with the Pips. Once you put these clues together, only one option makes any sense for the identity of the Bee. Most people would search for Grammys won by a solo performer, the Bee's Grammys include those won solo and while in a group. While the Bee's answer is correct, it isn't straightforward. A query for Tina Turner turns up 8 Grammys, Patti Labelle - 2 Grammys, Anita Baker - 8 Grammys, Gladys Knight - 7 Grammys, Dionne Warwick - 5 Grammys and Diana Ross, none! So what's happening here? Is the Bee lying? If you did this, chances are the results weren't very satisfying. Well, of course, everyone and their brother began immediately googling how many Grammys their favorite celebrity guess had, or a list of female singers with 10 Grammys. Before her segment ended, Robin Thicke asked the Bee if she had any Grammys. Well, just when we were losing hope we'd ever learn the identity of the Bee, the judges managed to ask the perfect question - one that ultimately confirms who this mystery woman is. Of course, Anita Baker's name has been mentioned repeatedly due to the nature of her surname and Gladys Knight's has been a favorite guess for her title, "Empress of Soul." So basically, we're back at square one. Add to it the marmalade references and she seems like a shoe-in. Patti Labelle is well known for her southern cooking and baked goods line - particularly her peach cobbler which was featured on Oprah and fits nicely with the many peach references in the Bee's clues. Last week, singers like Patti Labelle and Anita Baker were both put into consideration due to the bakeware and southern cooking clues. With Tina out of the way, there are still a number of ladies who could fit the bill. Patti Labelle has been a favorite guess for the Bee's identity on the Masked Singer. Before the Bee began her song, she let the audience know it was written by a "close friend." The Bee then launched into Tina Turner's "What's Love Got to Do With It" and subsequently removed the Queen of Rock from the contenders. Towards the end of the video, we were finally given one clue that, at the very least, eliminated one contender. The clues seemed aimed at tripping viewers up as they referenced words or titles of songs by the various performers mentioned above. So here it is.Īs with every episode, a video clip was shown before the Bee's performance giving insight about the performer's identity. One key clue provided during episode 7, however, left us with no more room for doubt. While we had one performer we were leaning towards, there was just enough reasonable doubt to keep us from jumping fully abroad any of these trains. Up to this point, the internet has held onto a handful of favorite guesses for the Bee's identity - the most popular guesses being Tina Turner, Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight and Anita Baker. The alien was unveiled as LaToya Jackson on the Masked Singer episode 7.
