I Call Dibs On Adopting This Kid

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?

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

3:04-3:06 = best.

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

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...

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