]]> It started with one video.

I don’t spend a lot of time on YouTube, but I have a few music videos that I like to watch. My favorite right now is “Into the Unknown” performed by Panic at the Disco. This is the song from Frozen II, and this cover is awesome.

After that, I usually listen to Brian Hull sing “Let it Go” using different Disney character voices. This is my favorite version. I let it play as I do other things, and then I stop.

Today, I glanced to the right where the other videos wait to tempt me, and one caught my eye. It was an acapella Disney medley. Now I like DCapella’s renditions of Disney songs, so I thought I’d check this new singer out. I could always exit out if I didn’t like it.

Well, I loved it. I loved it so much that I’m sharing it with you. It’s a Disney medley by Jared Halley. What makes this special is he sings all the parts. It’s unbelievably good.

What I loved most was not the singing, which was great, but the way he made all the videos of him singing flow seamlessly. I can’t imagine the amount of work that went into this video, and he has a lot of others.

I hope you will watch Jared’s video and check out his YouTube page. I could spend hours watching his various covers. It inspires me to create things that people will stumble upon and share with their friends. Absolutely amazing.
