With no new Glee episodes for quite a while, this girl right here needs her glee club fix. It’s true; I’m a Gleek. And much like a drug, the sweet, sweet harmonies of Glee make me – er – high?

Wow, does that sound L-A-M-E.

Anyway, after stumbling upon my new BFF (who doesn’t even know I exist) Sam Tsui, I am more than content until Glee starts up again. This kid is amazing. At first watch (which was followed by about 100 more viewings), I thought this video was 6 boys who looked tremendously alike singing only the most awesome of songs (MJ Mashup is my personal fave).

And then I was all, “Wait a minute – hold the phone – they don’t just look like the same person, they are, like, TOTES the SAME person! Over and over and over again!” (Yes, I actually speak like that when talking to myself…)

That was one mind-blowing revelation I had there, friends.

As it turns out, the very talented Sam sings every single part of the song – the harmonies, the melody – and his friend uses his tech-savvy-fairy-godmother-wand and  – badda boom badda bing – it’s a whole lot of Sam Tsui making musical magic on one screen. And you just can’t look away.

With over 5 million hits on the Tube, I know I’m not the only one getting my Glee/Sam fix. But in case you didn’t know about this one man Glee club, well, now you do. Watch, dance, sing and enjoy.
