Once in a while, a video of a kid singing a song to a webcam transcends its one-note brethren and just gets better and better for the entire 3:30. This is one of those times (the turns! The prop! The fake crying!) This is a daymaker. A mom-sender, if you will:

(The song is, apparently, “What Hurts The Most” by Cascada.) I don’t really watch American Idol, but watching this, I’m like “Fuck American Idol. This is true showmanship.” His name is Keenan and he has a lot of other videos and an agent. Subscribed! (Thanks for the tip, Brian!)

    Great showmanship indeed!
    But how old is this kid and why does he seem to already have a mustache?
    Buy hormone free milk mom!

  2. this kid has balls as big as his adams apple. this isn’t a fucking child.

    That’s Jack Osbourne, Lindsay.

    I was thinking the same thing. Not a child. He needs to shave. A tiny Patton Oswalt.

  5. Did anyone else watch his “If you were gay” vid….. it may be better than this one (he has a backup dancer this time!)

  6. this is a small man.

    3:04-3:06 = best.

      I disagree. The whole dramatic arc of confusion starting at 1:56 and ending at 2:01 = the best.

    His hand were all gnarled like a 50 year old construction workers..

  9. If things fall through with you and this kid, I call so many dibs on being your replacement.

  10. Seriously, Lindsay, you need to get your midgetdar checked.

  11. He is Patton Oswalt / my boyfriend / a strange little person child thing. I’m so confused.

    Boy am I ever glad that I’m not the only one that realized this is not a little kid. Lindsay, I think you’ve fallen victim to the plot of a bad (redundancy!) Wayans brothers movie.

    I’m kinda disappointed it’s a little boy…I wish it were a little homely girl. That’d seem to fit better…

  14. Just what the world needs: a dancing, Mario Karting, and red-headed Jonathan Lipnicki. Andy Milonakis?

  15. nora  |   Posted on Feb 19th, 2009 +2

    according to the internet, he is 15.

  16. Can we elect Brian as the Master of All Tips? That video had me smiling the entire time.

    I just lost 3 1/2 minutes of my life watching this that I’ll never get back. All I have to show for it is that Im thoroughly creeped out.

  18. 15?! The internet is lying.

  19. Meaghan  |   Posted on Feb 19th, 2009 +2

    he looks like George in Stuart LIttle bahahah

  20. He sure types like he’s a kid:

    “Im asome play the guitar and a actor i have a agency its Disney support me if you didnt if you did thank you so much keep doing that so just keep supporting and ill try talking to my fans my fans ROCK thanks”

  21. Kid or not, that was pretty cute….but nothing will ever be more supreme than this for me:

  22. It looks like a baby Truman Capote. I am going to have severe nightmares.

  23. If he’s really 15, this just changed from funny to sad

  24. That surely is no child… it is bilbo baggins, aged 40 years.

    He stole my spin move and my steering wheel!!

    Don’t let his adorable glasses and red hair fool you; he’s evil (so cute.)

  26. I don’t care how old this kid is. Or whether or not he’s a midget.

    This video creeped me out. Period.

  27. Bryan  |   Posted on Feb 19th, 2009 +2

    He looks a bit like my great aunt Margaret.

  28. NonelectricCarmen  |   Posted on Feb 20th, 2009 +6

    I just found him really anoying.. am I the only one?

  29. Vincent  |   Posted on Feb 20th, 2009 +1

    40-year old man-dwarf.

  30. If The Curious Case of Benjamin Button took place in the present and starred Michael J. Pollard….

  33. tenley Haraldson  |   Posted on Feb 23rd, 2009 +2

    It’s like Jack Osbourne and Patton Oswalt had a baby.

  34. this kid/ teen cant lip synic at all.. he doesnt move his mouth half the time… and i think he should be singing male voice to make it more real..
