Handy Cure

Each day Alex will be stretching his vocal chords in unimaginable fashion by attempting to recreate some of the oddest noises ever produced on record in 'Alex Gets Vocal'. Can he 'beatbox' better than Michael Jackson? Can he hit the Minnie Ripperton highnote? Probably not...but he's going to try!
