‘The Masked Singer’ Reveals Identities of the Seal and Beets: Here Are the Celebrities Under the Costumes

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large SPOILER ALERT: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 11, Episode 9 of “The Masked Singer,” “Group B Finals: Soundtrack of My Life Night,” which aired May 1 on Fox. For years, the panelists on “The Masked Singer” have thrown out names like Corey Feldman, Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken while trying to figure out what celebrities were disguised on stage.

This week, those names finally became true. “The Masked Singer” revealed the latest celebrities to be revealed on Wednesday night’s Group B finale, and it was Feldman as the Seal and Studdard/Aiken together as the Beets. “For about 25 years, there was this kind of dark age where nobody really wanted to admit that my music was a real thing or that it existed or that I was doing it on a full capacity,” Feldman told Variety. “It was kind of overlooked and ignored for a long time.

But now people do hear my voice and know that it’s me singing. That in itself is a compliment. The other compliment is the fact that even when it wasn’t me on the show all those years, just the fact that they were thinking about me — that’s kind of an honor.

I’m very grateful that I’ve been thought of so much.” The timing of the “Masked Singer” appearance is serendipity for Feldman, who’s about to embark on a summer tour with Limp Biskit and also has the film “The Birthday” — which had been sitting on a shelf for two decades — finally hitting theaters this fall via Drafthouse Films.
