The identity of High Voltage was revealed on Wednesday night’s “Care Bears Night” episode of Fox’s The Masked Singer, sending shockwaves through the panel and viewers alike. After a spirited sing-off, the masked performer was unmasked as Alexi Lalas, the former soccer player and current Fox Sports analyst.
Lalas’s elimination came after a battle against Pangolin, with the audience ultimately choosing to save the robot costume. High Voltage performed a rendition of Daniel Powter’s “Poor Day” during the episode, following previous performances of Tears for Fears’ “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” Kane Brown and Marshmello’s “Miles On It,” and Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid.”
The guessing game surrounding High Voltage proved challenging for the judges. Ken Jeong guessed Travis Kelce, whereas Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg went with Julian Edelman. Rita Ora suggested Jason Sudeikis, and Robin Thicke was closest with another Fox Sports analyst, Tom Brady. No one on the panel correctly identified Lalas before the reveal.
Lalas, reflecting on his time on the show, shared that blending in was his biggest fear when he began his career. This sentiment resonated with the show’s theme of embracing individuality, even while hidden behind a mask.
The “Care Bears Night” episode saw each contestant perform songs tied to the emotional theme. Pangolin opened the night with Irene Cara’s “What a Feeling (Flashdance),” while Pugcasso delivered a folk-inspired version of The Cranberries’ “Dreams,” and Crane performed Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” Crane and Pugcasso were previously sent to safety, setting up the final showdown between High Voltage and Pangolin.
The competition heated up during the “Care Bears Royale,” where Pangolin ultimately triumphed over High Voltage with a performance of The Pointer Sisters’ “I’m So Excited.” This victory secured Pangolin’s place in the Season 14 semifinals.
Alexi Lalas’s appearance on The Masked Singer added another layer of intrigue to the show’s already captivating format. His athletic background and broadcasting career provided a surprising twist for fans and judges alike.
With High Voltage unmasked, six celebrities remain in the competition, continuing to keep audiences guessing as Season 14 progresses. The show’s blend of mystery, performance, and celebrity reveals continues to draw viewers in, making it a popular fixture on Fox’s programming lineup.
As the competition narrows, fans are eagerly anticipating the remaining reveals and the ultimate crowning of the Season 14 champion. The show’s ability to consistently surprise and entertain ensures its continued success in the reality television landscape.
