Keenan Cahill is an Internet sensation with serious celebrity connections. In just over a year, the Chicago native has become a viral phenomenal by posting video after video of himself lip-synching to a string of hit songs ? all from his bedroom. Since his rise to fame, a few stars have also decided to get in on the fun by appearing alongside Cahill.
Now, the 15-year-old teen star has managed to do the unthinkable: pull a cameo from none other than Britney Spears. In his latest YouTube video tribute, Cahill tackles the pop star's latest smash "Till the World Ends" from inside the flashy Atlantis teen nightclub Crush, in the Bahamas.
"What's up Keenan? I'm here on the set of my video for 'Till the World Ends,' " Britney says to the teen from a video wall inside the club. "The only thing missing from this video set is you!" And then Spears disappears from the screen and Cahill does his version of "Till the World Ends."
We here at the MTV Newsroom were so impressed that Cahill scored a cameo from pop royalty that we decided to rank his best star-studded best video tributes.
5. Lil Jon
Keenan went extra wild when he lip-synched to a number of party tracks by Lil Jon. Alongside a life-size figurehead of the crunk superstar, Cahill was joined by the MC himself for some of his biggest club tracks, including "Turbulence," "Get Out of Your Mind" and "Shots." Cahill may be young, but he definitely knows how to party.
4. Pauly D
Cahill doesn't just lip-synch, he's also an expert in the art of fist-pumping. Just ask Pauly D. After the "Jersey Shore" castmember asked the star via Twitter to lip-synch his way through the DJ's tune "Beat Dat Beat," the duo linked up on a webcam and turned the music up. Dressed in a shirt that read "It's T-Shirt Time," Cahill danced his way through the song while Pauly shared some of his own lip-synching skills.
3. David Guetta
Cahill proved his love for dance tunes when he lip-synched a string of hits by dance mastermind Guetta. "I have a challenge for you. Do you think you can handle a mega-mix of all my hits?" the DJ/producer asked after finding Cahill lounging inside a recording studio. "Dude, come on, I'm a f---ing YouTube sensation!" the star said.
2. Jennifer Aniston
Cahill had previously lip-synched to Far East Movement's "Like a G6," but the Web star got an impromptu visit from Jennifer Aniston during the beginning of her Smart Water viral campaign. "What are you doing?" the actress asked after interrupting the teen's take on the club-ready track. After Cahill told her the obvious, Aniston responded, "Yeah, I know that and that's really, really adorable, but do you know any songs about water?"
1. 50 Cent
In what appeared to be just another edition of bedroom-video series, Cahill ended up giving fans a big surprise as he lip-synched to Jeremih and 50 Cent's ?Down on Me." Halfway through the song, the rapper walked into the room, kneeled down and joined the session. Near the end of the video, Fif even decked Cahill out in some jewelry by taking off his own chain and putting it on the teen.
