Dude, he starts KILLING IT during the last minute and a half.  That's when he finds his groove.

This dude.  He also does a good cover of House of the Rising Sun.  Don't sleep on his ode to Turbo Tax either.

Tay Zonday's videos are kind of like Eddie Murphy's "Party All The Time" video.

I think you're operating on hyperbole.  Not very many videos/songs are better than Eddie Murphy, "Party All The Time."  Plus it was produced by Rick James.  Can't beat that . . .
 
 Rick James, BITCH! Rick James . . .

"Chocolate rain" has become the name at my house for the byproduct of my son's stomach virus.

Some stay dry while others feel the pain.
 
 NKOTB sent me a link for a parody where the guy sounds like Sideshow Bob.

I'll admit, in a thread entitled "Chocolate Rain" I was certainly worried about what that link would lead to...

I am a singer-songwriter-vocalist. I might do anything. No style is off-limits. No two videos are alike. From Bach to Tupac, Expect the Unexpected!
 
 Yes, I have a deep voice. No, I don't fake it. Yes, I look young. I am 25 years old. I have never studied piano or voice formally.  
No formal study? I don't buy it...

A friend of mine taught himself guitar and is really good.  People can pick things up on their own.

I could take your original post a few ways.
 
 1.  This guy sucks.
 2.  This guy is great.
 3.  This guy must have taken lessons because he is playing a piano.
 
 I went with #3 because I haven't determined for myself #1 or #2.

Though I am leaning towards #1, I can't say that he sucks...but I don't think that he shows any training, at least not vocally.  Something is just not quite right about how he sings. I think he's got the pipes, he's just not using them to their full potential.
 
 It's certainly entertaining though.
Title: Re: Chocolate Rain

I watch it once a day.  He just doesn't look like he'd sing like that.

Hey.  Nothing like some Tay Zonday to enhance that cup of purple drank/promethazine.     :D
 
 I guess he wanted to reach out to all the Down South folk . . .

ICYMI - Tay Zonday was on Jimmy Kimmel. It is worth watching if only to see the audience reactions to his performance. Also, at about the 2 minute mark he does the interview...

How has no one posted this yet?
 
 f you've got a computer and a forward-happy friend or two, you're already hip to Tay Zonday and "Chocolate Rain", the twinkly, croaking hook-overload that's swept through the internet like a Ghirardelli thunderstorm over the last few weeks.
 
 One might have thought 2007's answer to William Hung was in danger of letting up, but not so: Girl Talk and Dan Deacon (clearly dudes with well-developed senses of irony and a penchant for goofy touring partners) have invited the M&M maestro to perform at their October 5 gig at First Avenue in Minneapolis.
 
 We're a little too WTF'ed out to make much sense of this, but we did recall that yesterday, Girl Talk posted a MySpace bulletin hinting at a "special guest" that he predicted would "probably sell a bunch of tickets" to the Minneapolis show. I naively assumed it would be Prince, though this, somehow, seems even more unlikely. Tay Zonday! That "Chocolate Rain" guy! Who could've guessed?
 
 Thanks to the Daily Swarm for the tip. Girl Talk and Dan Deacon dates after the jump. Alas, Tay Zonday has no more shows scheduled.
