Feast Your Eyes on Alex Wong's Music Video

September 10, 2012

What hasn’t Alex Wong done? He conquered the ballet world, performing as a principal soloist with Miami City Ballet. He blew up Broadway in the cast of Newsies. He almost made it to the end of “So You Think You Can Dance” Season 7 (with his #1 fan being none other than Ellen DeGeneres) before coming back to rock it as an All-Star this season. And now we find out that he’s a pop singer? With a music video?

I mean, I guess we knew Alex could at least kind of sing—he had to carry more than a few tunes in Newsies. But his new song, “Crave,” proves that he’s got a real set of pipes. (Although I do wish there were less auto-tuning. Wong apparently also made it to Hollywood Week on “American Idol”—of course he did—which means the talent is real! Don’t digitize it away!)

And then there’s the music video. I…I don’t know. Is it straight-up awesome, or kind of…awfulsome? It sort of looks like it might have been filmed during downtime on the “SYTYCD” set. Then again, it’s the best full-out dancing I’ve seen in a music video in a loooong time. Long story short? I can’t stop watching it.

See (and hear) Alex for yourself!
