So apparently I’m the last to know, but this guy Sam Tsui is a 23-year-old musical genius who happens to be totally adorable. He applies his talents to a slough of pop covers on YouTube (in spite of having a degree in classical Greek from Yale, no biggie), the latest of which gave me the urge to bow down to his superior awesomeness. Mind you, I’m not even a fan of Britney Spears — I know, I’m sorry — but this mashup of… all things Britney makes me want to give all her albums another shot. Take a look at this truly epic video after the cut.
Sam is also the backstage host of The Sing-Off, but I think Disney needs to just come write him a check already. [source]
In this case, Sam has a question for you:
Had an absolute blast mashing together some of the Princess of Pop’s biggest hits – see if you can recognize all fourteen songs I used!
Can you name them all?

I added it to my video & I like it. It made me dizzy at first. Singing so fast & trying to figure out everything but it’s a great mashup! Hopefully it wont get taken down. Record companies are so anal. IF they cant make money off it, they wont want you to hear it.

Wow, classic Greek, huh? There’s a useful degree.

i’ve loved him for quite some time! check out kurt hugo schneider: he’s super talented and adorable too, and he and sam tsui used to work together all the time, but now it’s just a rare treat.
i also especially recommend the duet between sam tsui and christina grimmie of nelly’s “just a dream,” and “college musical,” the youtube musical starring sam tsui featuring the classic song, “i wanna bone my t.a.,” which i legitimately have on my ipod. hahaha i’m so cool.
