There’s Insane Evidence That [SPOILER] Is the Flower on ‘The Masked Singer’

From Cosmopolitan

UPDATE: The Flower has been revealed and it's none other than Patti Labelle! The judges knew it, you probably knew it, so GLAD WE SETTLED THAT!

You know flowers? How they are pretty and smell good and are generally a positive in your life? Yeah, well, feel free to join my #FlowersAreOverParty because the entire plant species has been ruined thanks to this terrifying Masked Singer costume:

If you’re thinking to yourself, Wait...is that a face? the answer is yes, and I’d love for us to join internet hands and get lost together in its blank, chasm-like eyes.

My personal short list of celebrities inhabiting this clearly haunted plant include Lord Voldemort and that’s it, but the internet thinks the living legend known as Patti LaBelle is inside the Flower. Which, if true, would be a huge get for The Masked Singer. Ya know, considering Patti is an absolute icon, one of the best singers in the entire world, and a member of the Grammy Hall of Fame.

The Clues

Here’s what we know about the Flower: She ~blossoms~ in every field she’s in, has dabbled in cooking and crafts (Martha Stewart, that you, girl?), has an “empire,” is a self-described “legend,” and used the term “vision of love” while talking about herself. Take a moment to check out her clue package so we’re all on the same page here.

The Theories

1. Patti LaBelle

If Patti LaBelle turns out to be on The Masked Singer, I will literally be RIP, although I’m obviously already dead as a result of this show. And while it seems unlikely that one of the best singers of all time would do, um...this, there is some compelling evidence. For starters, PATTI LABELLE MADE PIES! Considering the cooking reference in the clue package, this seems huge.

Oh, and that “Vision of Love” reference? Well, “Vision of Love” is the name of a Mariah Carey song, and Mariah happens to be Patti’s goddaughter.

Plus, you may have noticed that the camera pans to some kind of framed degree on the wall, and as fans on YouTube point out, Patti got an honorary doctorate from Temple University in 2010.

On top of alllll that, fans have noted the Flower’s and Patti’s matching body language, so go ahead and watch a video of Patti performing:

And now watch the Flower:

.

At this point, you’re probably convinced, but there are two more giant pieces of evidence to consider. First of all, Patti is a known pro at flower arrangement:

AND her group is called Patti LaBelle and the BLUEBELLS. Which! Is! A type! Of flower!

2. Mayim Bialik

I mean, sure, I guess it’s possible. But last time I checked, Mayim (although clearly a fit for that blossom reference) didn’t have an “empire” to speak of.

3. Tina Turner

I’d personally be shocked if Tina Turner ended up being on this show. Like, I’d be less surprised if it were one of the judges’ absolutely insane picks of Jennifer Hudson, Jessie J, or Taraji P. Henson. But some people are believers:

4. Björk

Ken Jeong is fully convinced the Flower is Björk and I have literally nothing to say to that. I am simply going to use this space to drag him through other people’s shady tweets, enjoy:

FYI, we’ll update this once the Flower is deflowered, so get ready.
