NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) - One of the biggest hits on YouTube these days features the work of a couple of Yale students and the king of pop, Michael Jackson.
Yale University junior Sam Tsui is making a name for himself by honoring the legendary Michael Jackson.
He and friend Kurt Schneider created a YouTube video that appears to be an A capella group performing a Michael Jackson medley.
The kicker? All of the singers in the video are Sam.
"I'm walking down the street and people are, like, 'you're that guy who does the video', which is incredibly cool and also sort of bit of weird and humbling," Tsui said.
Tsui took a few of Jackson's biggest hits and mashed them up-accapella style and with the help of some fancy editing, makes it look like he's singing with himself.
The video has become an Internet sensation and was featured Wednesday night on ABC's World News with Charlie Gibson.
According to YouTube, Tsui's tribute to the King of Pop has had nearly 2 million views. You can watch the clip below:
