“The Masked Singer’ has reached week 7 of season 2 but the November 20 episode won’t be lucky for one of the four celebrities competing. They’ll be sent home by the four judges (Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke). Singing for the make-or-break votes of the studio audience are four stars disguised as the Flamingo, Flower, Leopard and Rottweiler.
Of this quartet, the strongest singer is the celebrity clad from head to toe as the Flower. She first won us over back in week 3 when she delivered a toe-tapping rendition of the Dolly Parton classic “9 to 5.” In week 5, her voice soared to new heights with her cover of the Sia hit “Cheap Thrills.” And in week 7, she rocked the crowd with her take on “Amazed” by Lonestar.
We’ve studied these three previous performances by the Flower and have repeatedly rewatched her clues video. We are sure we’ve figured out which famous face is hidden underneath that Flower mask. Keep reading for the second of this week’s “The Masked Singer” spoilers,

The Flower is R&B legend Patti LaBelle. Not convinced? Well consider the following:
Patti has won two of her 13 Grammy races (Collectively “The Masked Singer” contestants can boast of 10 Grammy wins from 42 nominations).
The Flower says about herself : “I blossom in every field I plant myself in and I am here to branch out yet again.” That certainly describes Patti who came to fame as a singer but has gone to enjoy success as an actress, author, cooking show host and entrepreneur.
In her clues video, we see the number “314.” Those are the first three digits in the mathematical formula for pi; Patti sells her famous sweet potato pies at Walmart.

The Flower makes mention of her “empire”; Patti appeared on the season 1 finale of this FOX drama series in 2015.
The clues video includes a photo of a honorary doctorate from Temple University in Philadelphia. Patti was honored by her hometown school in 2010. And there is a shot of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich.
Do you agree with our guess? We’ll only find out if we got it right when the Flower is unmasked when she leaves the competition or wins season 2 of “The Masked Singer.” Who do you think is hidden inside the Flower costume? Sound off in the comments section below.
