Alexi Lalas Revealed as High Voltage
“I think it was right up my alley for a number of different reasons — not the least of which is that I’ve done music all of my life,” said Alexi Lalas, the former U.S. Men’s National Team star, following his reveal as High Voltage on the popular TV show, The Masked Singer.
Lalas, a two-time Olympian and a breakout star during the 1994 FIFA World Cup, showcased his musical talents, surprising judges who initially guessed he was Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, and Travis Kelce. During his reveal, he humorously remarked, “I gotta tell you, I think that I sweat more in this than I ever sweated on the soccer [field].”
His experience on the show was not only entertaining but also a reflection of his lifelong passion for music. “I grew up playing in garage bands and then singing in chamber singers,” Lalas shared, highlighting his diverse musical background.
Describing The Masked Singer as one of the most fun experiences of his career, Lalas compared performing on the show to playing in the World Cup, emphasizing the thrill of entertaining an audience. He noted that his costume featured a helmet designed as a soccer ball, further blending his two passions.
Lalas, who grew up in the 70s and 80s, was influenced by various music genres, which shaped his artistic expression. He considers himself an entertainer, viewing sports as a performance that transcends mere competition.
The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on Fox, providing viewers with a unique blend of music and mystery. As Lalas continues to embrace his multifaceted career, fans are left eager for his next moves, both in sports and entertainment.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any future appearances or projects Lalas may undertake following his stint on the show.
