Huh. He also has a 2011 BA from Yale in East Asian studies (and is fluent in Chinese) and did the pre-med requirements. Maybe next he'll cure cancer.
I wonder if the core Pentatonix trio found him on Youtube.
Slap my hand now!

They did, flea! They saw the first video I posted and realized he was the piece their group was missing.

Kevin is ridiculously gifted. And probably the one that has a most assured future in music even if Pentatonix as a group does not pan out. And if I recall correctly, Avi is studying opera. He does have a wonderful basso profundo voice.
I do worry that even if they win the recording contract, Kevin and Avi have too many other things going on in their lives for them to stick it out in this group. And even though Scott, Kirstie and Mitch have been singing together for ages and will likely continue to do so, Pentatonix just won't be Pentatonix without Kevin and Avi (or some other people in place of Kevin and Avi.)

The dude has been around the talent search circuit for a decade. Quite a Rachel Berry, he is.
(In case it's not obvious, I've been playing their performances on youtube on repeat the entire freakin' weekend. AUGH, I love them so.)

If you had the Pats game on CBS tonight, TAR will be about 55 or so minutes late.

That was one exhausting leg. Bill & Cindi went out with style and dignity, and also a montage of their best moments so you know the producers and everyone else along on the crew really really liked them.
Did Marcus nail the driving challenge in one go?

More than kind of great. That was lovely and honest.

Wow, that *is* a fantastic post. He's right that the amount of exposure Afro Blue got through the show is no less than the final 3 groups and I think he's implicitly admitting that the wrong group was eliminated last week. I like that he's throwing down the gauntlets to the viewers to support their favourite groups in the coming year.
I'm super-psyched for the finale tonight, but also sad that I will no longer get to see these fantastic musicians perform weekly. It's been a ride.

He said in an earlier post that Afro Blue was his favorite group -- I'm actually impressed these are on the NBC site.
