If your a 90s junkie like myself or if you have mad respect for talent, this video is for you! Not only did this cat drop some of the biggest hits from the 90s, but he did it with his OWN sounds....like from his mouth.

Thanks to the invention of the internet and great websites like YouTube, we have seen some very interesting drive-thru antics over the years.

Sick of celebrities like Jim Carrey and Tracy Morgan, who are not only rich and famous, but also pretty darn good at karaoke?

There's a lot of talent on the show this year, so as the weeks go by, main contenders will have to be cast off the show. That's life on 'American Idol.'
