Tay Zonday For Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper

The rise, the late night TV performance, the cover by an international act, the hipster concert bill. Now, at the stroke of 14:57, the Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages company comes rolling in to scoop up Tay (and Mista Johnson) on a spot for their Diet Cherry Chocolate Dr. Pepper beverage. It has zero calories and a modicum of self-aware satire. **He moves away from the mic to breathe in.

Tay Zonday, you've out William Hung'd yourself. Congratulations. Now, go away. 14:58...

It's profound the way the rapper says, "He moves his mouth away from the mic so he can breathe." How true.
