Remember the Mercury‘s Pizzazz talent shows we used to do? It’s a little known secret that we stopped doing them after witnessing this video of “Zach Allen’s Zach Attack Summer Tour” and his version of “Walkin’ on Sunshine” performed for the 2004 Starpower talent competition. As you will see, Zach’s talent renders all other talents moot. HOWEVER! Even if you can’t deal with this much talent in one small body—be sure to tune in at the 3:30 mark until the end when Zach… well, kind of starts to lose it. HANG IN THERE ZACH, BUDDY! The world of “talent” needs you!!
