St. Louis Blues fans are already aware of Shotgun Sammy's unparalleled gift of singing. The dude has the pipes of an angel. What you might not have known is that Shakira stole his place in the Super Bowl LIV halftime show.
I talked to Blais on January 4th, 2020. He told me about this old passion of his that he recently reignited... Singing. I guess he started taking his vocal skills seriously during the free time he had earlier this season. His injury got the best of him, and he said it gets really boring not being able to play with the boys. Singing was a way for him to escape the loneliness. A distraction, perhaps. But Shakira (allegedly) paid-off some higher-ups in order to become the main performer. Don't believe me? Check out this audition from his AHL days:
You can't tell me this guy wouldn't have been as entertaining as a pretty girl shaking her hips. We can only hope he has the courage to chase his dream of becoming a singer, but I hope he waits until after we win the Cup this year.
