Todd himself said that the original singing over his voice made him sound better than he actually is. Not an excuse for the awesomeness of this cover, though.
Todd calls out the pop music industry for forcing Cee Lo Green to only be able to hit the top ten using Glee, yet the horrible "Tonight I'm Loving/Fucking You" gets in without problem.
Would it be cheating to say that whenever Todd plays a piano version of the song he's reviewing, it's a special moment altogether.

Real life example: Finding a way to happily date one of his co-workers, who travels the country on a regular basis and doesn't even live in the same state. For those of us who have tried long-distance relationships, this is definitely a Crowning Moment of Awesome for Todd.
Him calling out Bruno Mars on his opinions towards college.
"A woman is more than her body, Taylor." This troper applauded, and her best friend stood up and cheered.
After being persuaded by Kyle to continue his review of "Sexy and I Know It", Todd switches to Kyle's more academic, analytical style and gives an impressively solid critique of how insulting and damaging the underlying message of the song is (basically, that the idea of men being physically attractive is laughable). Of course, he then gives up again and declares that song "sucks because it sucks", but the effort (he carries it on for five minutes) at least made it clear that his hatred for the song was more than just a knee-jerk response. Bonus points for contrasting it against Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy" and explaining in detail what that song did right.
After a failed attempt to take the top spot on Todd's Top Songs of 2010 List, Todd rounds out his 2011 list with two simple words: FUCK YOU.
His "review" of Chris Brown's "Turn Up The Music", in which he barely mentions the song itself and spends the rest of the video again explaining why Chris Brown is a terrible human being. The best part is that it's not just a "Chris Brown sucks" rant, but rather an eloquent yet enraged speech that discusses all the aspects that make Chris Brown's current presence in the media and so-called "forgiven" status by some fans and mainstream America completely unacceptable. It's truly a noteworthy video from Todd that shows he is intelligent and understands a large part of the general public's disgust with Brown.
What makes it even better is that his half-a-minute mention of the song itself is all he needed to do—there's nothing else to say about it, it's that pointless.
Which is overall his point about Chris Brown—there is nothing about him more unique than any other R&B singer. Todd mentions that while there was controversy with Michael Jackson, he at least had done landmark things that changed the music industry, whereas Brown is just generic for his chosen genre
Also, he announces his tumblr—Trolling Chris Brown, where fan can submit trolls of their own (mostly mocking his twitter posts). On that tumblr is an even longer and stronger rant about the "Team Breezy" aka Chris' fans who not only have forgiven him but love to demonize Rhianna/say she deserved what she got, with references to the movie Mean Girls and why he hates when girls act like that to each other.
