"Perhaps the title of "Renaissance man" is thrown around too much. Sure, folks can be talented in multiple different disciplines of the arts. Culture is a broad spectrum that reaches billions, and the beauty of it is that its auteurs and practitioners can reach across any construct of division that might separate us: race, gender, creed, language barriers, whatever it might be."
"For instance: who else on the planet could hit over 500 home runs, win three World Series rings--one of which was paired with a World Series MVP award--and be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on his first try....................before bringing a crowd full of people to their feet with their beautiful rendition of DJ Snake and Lil Jon's 2013 masterpiece "Turn Down For What" on national TV?"
"For the uninitiated: celebrities are brought on stage to perform a lil' tune while dressed in a ridiculously large outfit to hide their identity. From there, the judges and viewers at home are tasked with figuring out who, exactly, the masked singer is prior to a dramatic reveal set to The Who's "Who Are You" (a great choice, frankly), playing in the background."
David Ortiz combined elite baseball accomplishments with an unexpected musical performance on national television. Ortiz hit over 500 home runs, won three World Series rings (including a World Series MVP), and earned Baseball Hall of Fame induction on his first ballot. He performed masked as 'Googly Eyes' on Fox's The Masked Singer, delivering a rendition of DJ Snake and Lil Jon's 'Turn Down For What' that energized the audience. The Masked Singer features celebrities performing in oversized costumes while judges and viewers guess identities before a reveal set to The Who's 'Who Are You'. Ortiz required little apparent rehearsal to captivate viewers.
