Masked Singer's Pearl Revealed? ‘Let Me Get a Big Hell Yeah' for This Theory
The Masked Singer is just a few weeks away from crowning the winner of Season 13, but you don't have to wait until the grand finale to find out which celebrities are hiding under the remaining six costumes.
Like Pearl, for example. Remember Pearl? Last seen in the Group B finale on March 19, this literal treasure has stunned the judges with impressive performances of songs like Whitney Houston's 'Saving All My Love For You' and Dolly Parton's 'Here You Come Again.'

Pearl's talent has never been in question. Her identity, however, has been a bit tougher to nail down. But unlike the show's know-nothing judges (no disrespect!), I have the internet at my disposable, making it much easier to decipher her clues.
That's why I'm fully confident sharing this pearl of wisdom with you: the celebrity taking on this particular persona is… the Grammy Award-winning 'Redneck Woman' herself, Gretchen Wilson!
In this case, I can't even say that I recognized Wilson by her voice. Frankly, she's been a chameleon in this competition, effortlessly shifting her sound to fit each song. I'm not sure I would have even considered her, had it not been for a pair of extremely check-able facts.
In Pearl's second clue package, she mentioned tending bar when she was still a kid. Sure enough, Wilson is quoted in this 2004 article about how she bartended in Chicago when she was just 15 years old.
Still not convinced? In her third clue package, Pearl recalled borrowing an outfit from Parton when she was lucky enough to perform with her idol on stage. And what do you know, here's an article about how Parton gifted Wilson with an outfit ahead of their collaboration at the 2019 CMA Awards.
Pearl returns to The Masked Singer on Wednesday (Fox, 8/7c), when she'll face off against the other members of the Lucky Six — Boogie Woogie, Coral, Mad Scientist Monster, Nessy and Paparazzo — in the hopes of advancing to the Season 13 quarterfinals.
Do you agree that Wilson is Pearl? Which other celebrity identities have you figured out? And which character do you want to win Season 13? Drop a comment with your thoughts on all things below.
