Yale Student and 5 Clones Perform Jackson Medley
The Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy Blog wrote that two Yale undergraduates became the rage this fall when their Michael Jackson Medley went viral on YouTube.com.
Since posting the video three months ago, more than two million viewers have watched the video. The two young men have become celebrities at Yale.
Sam Tsu and Kurt Schneider filmed Sam Tsui six times singing different versions of the medley. Then they edited it into one song: Tsui and five of his clones simultaneously perform Michael Jackson songs like I’ll Be There and Smooth Criminal.
Sam Tsui is an ancient Greek major and Kurt Schneider is an math major. They have not made money with their YouTube videos, but they plan to monetize their success.
The two students are in the middle of writing and recording their own original songs and hope to put them up on the online music store iTunes within the next six weeks.
