The Singing Bee is returning for a third
season beginning April 8 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The series will again be hosted by Melissa Peterman, who also stars in CMT's comedy
series,
Working Class. CMT will present two themed
episodes this season, including a boy band-themed episode with Bobby Brown (New Edition), Joey Fatone (*NSYNC), Drew Lachey
(98°) and Wanya Morris (Boyz II Men) in a competition for the charity of their choice. Also this season, a Dallas Cowboys
Cheerleaders episode will feature cast members from CMT's
Dallas
Cowboy Cheerleaders: Making the Team. Air dates for the special episodes will be announced at a later date. Blending
a mix of country music with popular favorites from other genres,
The Singing Bee tests contestants' knowledge of lyrics
to well-known songs. Those who fail to accurately sing the correct lyrics are eliminated from the competition.
