High Voltage's Elimination and Reveal
In the latest episode of "The Masked Singer," aired on March 11, 2026, former U.S. soccer player and current Fox Sports analyst Alexi Lalas was unmasked as the character High Voltage. This revelation came after a performance of "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter, which was part of the Care Bears Night theme. Lalas's identity surprised the judging panel, as none of the judges correctly guessed who he was, with Robin Thicke coming closest by suggesting Tom Brady, while Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, and Rita Ora guessed Travis Kelce, Julian Edelman, and Jason Sudeikis, respectively.
Performance Highlights
During the episode, Lalas performed several songs throughout the season, including "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears and "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath. His final performance of the night was a duet of "I'm So Excited" alongside Pangolin, which ultimately led to his elimination after Pangolin was voted through to the semifinals.
Clues and Audience Engagement
High Voltage's costume featured a prominent soccer ball, which served as a significant clue to his identity. Before his unmasking, Lalas hinted at his athletic background with clues such as a cowboy on a horse and a pair of golden cleats, stating, "The right shoes can carry you through any game in life." Despite these hints, the judges failed to connect the clues to Lalas's soccer career.
Judges' Reactions and Audience Response
After the reveal, Lalas humorously pointed out the obviousness of the soccer ball clue, stating, "Right in front of your face on top of my head the whole time!" His strong singing voice had initially misled the judges, who were unaware of his musical background, which included performing in garage bands and chamber ensembles during his youth. The audience responded positively to his performances, appreciating his versatility and stage presence.
What's Next for "The Masked Singer"
With Lalas's exit, the competition continues to narrow as the remaining contestants include Pangolin, Galaxy Girl, Stingray, Cat Witch, Pugcasso, and Crane. The next episode, themed "Star Trek," is set to air on March 18, 2026, promising more surprises and performances as the season progresses.
