[MelodyVanover]

[Choulchoul5]

OoooMG :O I prefer when Sam Tsui wears normal clothes and don't danse with an invisible umbrella :/

[TheStonenbone420]

@ the two dorks fighting like little bitches; SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! pathetic pieces of garbage, sound like a couple of cock suckin morons

PEACE OUT BITCHES

[AsLANlong]

@TheStonenbone420 hey, I'm just trying to get this guy (who's "professional" opinion is that if a soloist is "small and asian" and "gayer than a double rainbow" it must be vocally awful, and anyone who doesn't agree is a "prick", "cunt" or "twat") to shut up. Which he has, so the argument ended 6 days ago. It's a good performance, although maybe not one of the best I've heard. And sure, Sam Tsui's voice is kinda unbalanced in this performance, but it doesn't deserve what he's said about it.

[MrCalloway92]

@AsLANlong Wow, you are still going on and on, aren't you? You really must have no life at all. Just sign off and go outside for once, you're starting to freak me out. Get some help with that onset bipolar disorder you seem to be having.

[AsLANlong]

@MrCalloway92 No, I just get pissed off when someone acts like a twat as if they know everything, laying into other people saying they know nothing and then taking the piss out of people who retalliate. But while we're on the topic of disorders (and you're the one that mentioned ADHD) - you seem to have ADHD, you really haven't paid attention to anything, you keep derailing from the 2 main questions:

1) what's wrong with being "small and Asian"?

and 2) what spelling mistakes?

[MrCalloway92]

@AsLANlong You really must have ADHD man, because you cannot keep a train of thought without derailing. Just stop, you're not looking any cooler.

[AsLANlong]

@MrCalloway92 Oh? What a surprise, you STILL couldn't show any spelling errors or address any point that me or anyone else has made further proves that you are wrong.

[AsLANlong]

@MrCalloway92 *..."which" further proves...

[MrCalloway92]

@AsLANlong: Keep rambling, because you sound like a pre-menopausal woman right now. And grammatically incorrect? So you're implying you are more on par with grammar than I? Ha, you French have no clue.

[AsLANlong]

@MrCalloway92 You French have no clue? So you are implying that french people are dumb, and therefore the fact that the amount of students that leave school in France illiterate is about a quarter of those in England, or that they take 3 times as many subjects in their equivalent to A-levels (which you have to take in France) at a much higher level than what we do over here is untrue? Because statistics mean nothing. And there we go again, that obnoxious streak in you. ...#continued#...

[AsLANlong]

@MrCalloway92 ...#continued#... And the fact you still haven't been able to point out any spelling errors or sentences that haven't made sense shows either that there aren't any to point out any and that you are therefore mentally retarded or that you can't find any because you are mentally retarded. And once again your immaturity has shot up as you constantly avoid the point and so attack others for minor details that are neither here nor there.

[MrCalloway92]

@AsLANlong: lmfao hashtags aren't a computer language, they're fucking metadata that started in web 2.0. Goddamn, you are simple. And this is the end of your conversation, boy (or whatever the fuck you are). #andthatsreal

[MrCalloway92]

@AsLANlong oh I wouldn't know what being intelligent feels like? How the hell can you compare me to a dyslexic? I don't think any of your fag friends graduated high school with honors or are even in college. Oh you're half French, no wonder everything you say makes absolutely no sense. Go shove a croissant up your ass, you fucking little fruity pebble.

[AsLANlong]

@MrCalloway92 Ok, enlighten me: how many words did I mispell? You wouldn't know what intelligent feels like because you blatantly aren't. Simple. If you didn't get that, you obviously aren't. And I didn't compare you to a dyslexic person ("a dyslexic" is gramatically incorrect). And I don't have any gay friends, so no none of them did. So, quote one (just one, I dare ya) single sentence that I've said that doesn't make sense. Go on. And bravo, you've reached new levels of immaturity :)

[MrCalloway92]

@AsLANlong And I don't think you're using hashtags correctly either. This isn't twitter, man (or woman, whatever the fuck you are). I'm guessing you're Asian, so why don't you take your ass back to your rice patty?

[AsLANlong]

@MrCalloway92 Ok, 1) 'Captain Dyslexia'?! What the fuck are you on about?! Ok, where did I mispell anything (other than the "sice I was 16" and that was a typo)?! And what is bad about dyslexia, anyway?! I know 7 people with it: 2 are complete idiots, the others are actually quite intelligent. I don't expect someone like you to understand what that feels like.

2) No, I'm not Asian. My mum's french and my dad's english.

...#continued#...

[AsLANlong]

@MrCalloway92 ...#continued#...

3) You're laughing?! HA! Do you not realise how many people here hate you?! People, thumbs up if you hate this guy.

4) What, are you so immature that you have to change the subject to spelling and hashtags (which, yes, are standardly used in telecommunications, some uncommon computer languages and in subtitles a lot nowdays, however there isn't really any altenative to use, is there?) because you've got nothing intelligent to say?!

[MrCalloway92]

@AsLANlong You do not realize how hard I am fucking laughing at you right now. Why don't you take your ass to Barnes & Noble and get yourself some books, Captain Dyslexia.

[GothChic1011]

sam looks funny in this vid... i never said i didn't like it! ;)

[MarchNightly]

All of you just got trolled. Congrats.

[kilala475]

Wow what is up with all this fighting? I thought we clicked this video to listen to Sam Tsui, not to start babbling on each other. It's completely pointless, we all have our own opinions and not everybody agrees with us. Sad...but true. So, stop the fighting guys, and just enjoy the video, or hate on it. Completely up to you.

[MrCalloway92]

@therockhyrax Why the fuck should I believe some faggot like you has ever been there? You sound like a retard to me. And I'm not convinced about thinking that the competition is some fraud. And every school in your county? Big fucking deal. University of Delawares choir went to the international championship, does that make them the best thing since sliced fucking bread? Give me a break, you prick

[fortuneismymuse]

I would just like to mention that, while being a huge fan of Sam, this video is not just Sam. It's the Duke's Men. So if you're going to fight about Sam, go somewhere else. If you're going to admire Sam, go to Kurt's channel. Congrats to the entire group. Everyone did a fantastic job.

[MrCalloway92]

@theyolk25 "why, why, why, why?" to answer all of your questions, you obviously don't know jack mcshit about music. Get off of Mr. "Internet Celebrity's" cock and go read some sheet music or listen to some Beethhoven. Oh wait, you CAN'T read sheet music, because you have no musical education. It must suck to have untrained ears, I feel bad for you.

[lehighmels]

@MrCalloway92 your stupidity makes me LOL lots

[MrCalloway92]

@theyolk25

[MrCalloway92]

@iambbaby13 He's just a fucking wannabe, and he's gayer than a double rainbow. Get that through your head. This chink got into The Dukes Men of Yale because he has money, not talent. I'd like to see this guy without a producer editing everything he puts through a microphone. It makes me a little sick to think he's an ivy leaguer. But what the hell do you know, you're probably like 14 and in 9th grade with a wet dream of having sex with this under-endowed gook.

[theyolk25]

@MrCalloway92 Hey there, I'm not sure if you realize this or not, but you're embarrassing yourself right now. But anyways I do have some questions for you. Why is he a wannabe? Why do you think he's gay and what's wrong with that? Why do you dislike asians? Why doesn't he belong in the Ivy League? Why do you think he sounds bad? If you can answer any of my questions rationally then I will respect your opinion. Oh and also, your immaturity is not helping your homophobic/racist/dumbass cause.

[MrCalloway92]

@skitscuddlydoo No, it makes me a guy who has four years of choir experience and a championship trophy behind me. You know, 1st place, Music In The Parks competition, Hershey Park full of people, things like that. Singing songs in numerous languages in front of audiences, you probably wouldn't understand.

[lambbaby13]

@MrCalloway92 everyone has an opinion but when u did, u offended some. because on top of being a racist, there was also prejudice -> "Stick to being short and Asian" this won't get you anywhere. that championship trophy doesn't belong to people with such attitudes. Plus not like anybody cares what trophy you've one. I had to also double-check spelling your name...cause oh. i never heard of u not once. then again, you probably wouldn't understand.

[therockhyrax]

@MrCalloway92 hahahahaha you fucking troll, I used to go to the Music in the Parks competition at Hershey Park, and its a competition for students. Almost all choir piece selections include various different languages. And It's no feat getting 1st there; every school in my county places first.

[murrayk99]

ben your arrangement is freakin insane.

you guys sang this at my school last year. I go to the same high school as jeremy lloyd! it was amazing live.

[Krysacku]

OMG! Brilliant. Sam, you rock!!!!!

[ilyktosk8]

i like how this vid has the most views because of sam tsui =P

[shimsusann]

i met sam tsui in person and he was not too much taller than me. im a little above five feet.

[jenjengenesila]

sam "turn" was epic... XD

[jenjengenesila]

nice dancing and singing guys... especially sam... LOL

[MrCalloway92]

Damn, I was right, they do have low standards lmao. Thank heavens you don't get paid to sing, bro. I don't think you could even hold a candle or even a note to me. Stick to being short and Asian and leave singing to the big boys mkay, grasshopper?

[skitscuddlydoo]

@MrCalloway92 Wow are you dissing Sam Tsui? That makes you kind of a loser who wouldn't know talent if it danced naked on your bed. Just saying.

[AsLANlong]

@MrCalloway92 "proffesional training" - big deal. I play 4 instruments, some sice I was 6, have have been vocally trained since I was 16 and have since come either second or first in every single competition (from county to national) I've entered (in a choir). So shut up, yeah? Just because you have "professional training" (this does not exist and every pro knows it. You can be musically/vocally trained on a professional level) doesn't mean you know anything. ...#continued#...

[AsLANlong]

@MrCalloway92 ...#continued#... Eminem is a 'professional musician' who (I'd guess) would be worse than many non-professionals at singing. And quit downing other people for being 14 when, chances are you're wrong. Oh and to the 'I bet you don't read sheet music' bit: Uh, actually reading score notation is piss easy, anyone could if they wanted to and it doesn't make you any better a judge for singing. I'm gonna guess you don't read html computer code. You're stupid. ...#again... continued#...

[AsLANlong]

@MrCalloway92 ...#again... continued#... No, doesn't work like that, does it? And before you diss anymore asian people for being born, look at all the musical prodigies who have been born in Asia. Oh, but wait: according to you they shouldn't really be doing anything other than being short and asian. (and Asia is the most populated continant in the world so I reckon you're a little outnumbered. Or don't they count to have opinions?)

[syyu95]

i always thought sam looked really tall.

but he looks like a cute shorty here :P

[thekhanakay930]

This is great... love Sam!

[stubblebee]

I want to have them at my school but they must travel around 20000km :(

[xxxxGirlNextDoorxxxx]

[Re3Becca1]

[justfurfunny]

[cheeseater101]

SAM IS SO CUTE! i just want to pick him up and stow him away in my purse. :3

[heygirl322]

@cheeseater101 Sam is cute.... he'd probably fit in your purse too!

[upgradeyourmind]

@cheeseater101

[GermaeAnne]

[TheKatiusca3]

[sveria1210]

I love how the audience cheers when Sam pats his rear end. LOL!

[GaolisVideoLog]

@261Shisha =_= Spammer

[xPeanutbutterxJellyx]

[xPeanutbutterxJellyx]

I knew sam was short but not THAT short

[veganwaffle]

did they win? and if not who did?

[mddreiling]

dada da da dot umbrella...dada da da dot umbrella....

[redfive327]

It's funny--I hate the song Umbrella but I absolutely love this video. Sam's been holding out on us, though. He needs to dance more :)

[noxiousnirvana]

[Dianuschka09]

who is the guy who sings the second solo? he sounds really good

[Dianuschka09]

in between all of these tall guys sam looks a little bit like a child thats actually really funny but anyways i love his voice and how he interprets songs ^^ i really think he should do a cover of umbrella too ^^

[Tsukamei]

AAAH! I'd recognize Sam Tsui's voice anywhere! I totally wasn't looking for him though!

[trackstar801]

sam should be the only one with a solo

[ccatherinecsc]

@trackstar801 no! They need to show off other duke's men too! They are all amazing!

Plus..they will get a higher score because of all the solos.

[stubblebee]

sam is small but mighty and cute *_*

<3

[musicus0099]

This was a lot of fun to watch! I liked the arrangement :)

[clarinetluvr811]

wow he's so short lol. he's still the best of them all though

[daehanmingook7777]

they could've used umbrellas as props :D

[sym5340]

shorrrrrrrrrrrrrrt

[jeraldization]

short man with a big voice..

[ryoyou0607]

Good!素晴らしいハーモニー！

[musicismyeverything3]

This is so incredible. Wow, you guys rock!

[natskennedy]

[Collegekit]

[ssiquest]
