New ‘Masked Singer’ theory says Gladys Knight is the Bee, and it sort of holds up

There’s a new theory on the internet that Gladys Knight is the Bee on “The Masked Singer.”

And the theory might really hold up.

On Wednesday, “The Masked Singer” revealed La Toya Jackson was the Alien. This happened after the Rabbit, Alien, Lion, Bee, Peacock and Monster all competed against each other in the show’s seventh week, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The Bee revealed on Wednesday night that she might sing a “sexy” song, and that she was going back to her roots.

She also sang “What’s Love Got To Do With It” by Tina Turner.

On Wednesday night’s show, it was revealed that the Bee has won 10 Grammy awards. One Twitter user calculated that Knight has won seven solo Grammys and three more with the Pips for a total of 10.

And that’s true. Knight and the Pips won three Grammy Awards, while Knight has won seven on her own.

Others thought the Bee was Knight, too.

However, some think Chaka Khan is the Bee since she actually did win 10 Grammys on her own.

I think Chaka Kahn is the bee though. She’s the only one of Tina’s close friends with 10 Grammys that my mom and I can think of #TheMaskedSinger

I can’t agree that the bee is Chaka Khan even though she has 10 Grammys. #TheMaskedSinger

The Bee is Chaka Khan. She’s the only one that won 10 Grammys. Gladys only has 7 https://t.co/IVKmMbsKZU
