February 24, 2010.
On Monday, February 22, 2010, Oprah Winfrey hosted a show called “Incredible Feats” from an edible set made entirely from pure Lady Godiva Chocolate. Masterful artists Larry Abel and Raymond McAllister used more than 15,000 pieces of chocolate to construct this incredible, delectable design. This feat took more than 1,400 man hours to complete.

What started as dorm room fun is now a raging Internet sensation, with over five millions YouTube hits. It all began one evening when Kurt was planning to record a duet with Sam and a female singer, but the woman chickened out at the last minute.
Picture of Oprah's February 22, 2010, "Incredible Feats" set where everything is made of Lady Godiva Chocolates. No word on who got to devour the goodies!
Instead of canceling the recording, Kurt Schneider suggested that Sam Tsui sing every part separately. Then, they used some digital enhancements to piece it together into a creative illusion. Soon after, Sam and Kurt did a medley of Michael Jackson's hits and the rest is history!

In the MJ video, Sam sings the lead vocals, backup and chorus, while Kurt plays the backing instruments and takes care of the special effects and production values.

Sam Tsui, a classical Greek major, says instant fame has made him better at time management. "I just don't have as much free time anymore, but we fit in making videos into the homework and the class work," he says. "It magically works out somehow."

I just saw, totally by accident, on YouTube Sam Tsui and I was totally blown away. Especially by the acting skills... the singing skilld are obvious, but to be able to find group of such talented people like there are in College Musical is rare. I'm really enjoying Sam and Kurt. There's gonna go soooo far!!
I just discovered Sam on YouTube today, and I am hooked. A voice to rival, or even rise above Darren Hayes (of Savage Garden). The pic of him painting is a beautiful shot. He looks a little like David Bromstad (interior designer and artist)... and ya gotta love David Bromstad. Go Sam!
