The Beets Talk Enduring Friendship, Disappointment Over ‘Masked Singer’ Elimination: ‘I Want to Win Everything!’


The Beets 'Masked Singer' talk Wednesday night's (May 1) elimination and the key to their 20-year friendship and collaboration.

The tradition continued this season with The Beets, who made their smashing debut last month during The Wizard of Oz night when they teamed up for Michael Bublé’s “Home,” before singing The Pointer Sisters’ 1982 Billboard Hot 100 No. And though the Internet figured out early on who they were, the judges were stymied about the identities of American Idol season 2 winner and runner-up, and best buds, Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken, both 45. But before that, Billboard spoke to Aiken and Studdard before their elimination to find out why their “adult vegetable” costumes were the most challenging ones ever on the show, how they’ve stayed so close over all these years and why Ruben was pissed to not come out on top again.
