Youtube Singers

Not many songs seem catchy these days. Either its too repetitive in lyrics or the composition of the beats just isn't right. So I've decided that I'll list come songs that are sung by some famous Youtube singers. One singer: Jason Chen a.k.a, miniachilles, recently released his new single, Invisible. The song is really catchy for those R&B lovers, and the beat is very nice. His cover It Girl by Jason DeRulo is also a very good song. His twist on the lyrics is very soothing and romantic, along with Megan Nicole's voice is an absolute match.

Another singer on Youtube, Dave a.k.a, davedays is famous for his music video, What Does it Take. It's a rock and pop combo which is also very catchy. This music video was filmed by WongFuProductions on Youtube (their shorts have very nice plots), which enhances beat the song. 

Lastly, David Choi on Youtube is also famous for making music with his acoustic guitar. His song By My Side is very nice and calming, as if he was part of nature. He just naturally sings well in his songs, and his growth on youtube is amazing. 

Not many people realize that there are some pretty good singers in the world of Youtube, but there is. It's not fair for famous people to take all the credit of having the best song on Billboard, which is why Youtube singers should be well known to balance out the competition of having the best song. Support the three Youtubers above, and roam through their songs - it's amazing.

Gangnam Style vs. Baby

 Gangnam Style by PSY recently surpassed Justin Bieber’s Baby with the
most views on YouTube ever.  Now Gangnam Style has acquired around 870
million views while Baby has 808 million views in comparison.  It’s
crazy how many views Gangnam Style has gotten in less than 6 months!
One of the reasons it was able to achieve so many views was the fact
that people wanted to beat Justin Bieber’s record.  They would comment
on how they were racing to beat out the Baby video for most views
ever.  It also has the most likes ever as well.
        Many people are very happy of this achievement because they dislike
Bieber, but many of his fans are outraged by the fact that PSY beat
the superstar.  However, what is funny is that both artists have the
same manager.  The video achieves millions of views everyday so it is
pretty unlikely that the video Baby will win its spot back.  What do
you guys think? Do you think Baby by Justin Bieber should have been
knocked off the number one spot or no? Also do you think Gangnam Style
by PSY will be beaten anytime soon?

How Stars emerge from YouTube

   Ever notice how a lot of singer or rappers randomly become famous out of nowhere? Well a lot of them get recognized on YouTube. Four Months ago PSY’s “Gangnam Style” video went viral on YouTube. PSY is a famous South Korean Rapper but no one has ever heard of him until Gangnam Style came out. Gangnam style is a good song but in my opinion it’s not really the type of song you listen to you on your iPod, it’s more of the type that you play at parties etc. I’m honestly a little shocked he became so famous from this song., but now he is recognized all over the world. Another person who got famous from YouTube is Soulja Boy. We all know the song “Crank Dat “ from about six years ago. Soulja boy was discovered on YouTube by a producer named Mr.Collipark who saw his video and realized the talent he had. His manager Scooter Braun also discovered Justin Bieber on YouTube. Before he was famous Justin used to post videos of him singing and many people realized he had talent. By luck his talent was recognized by his manager and after his meeting with Usher he had a record deal signing. It’s amazing how just posting a video of yourself can get you so far in life. So if you think you have talent, post a video on YouTube because you never know what may happen.

z100

So I've been listening to z100 for the past few days and I find it better than going on YouTube to search for a song one by one. It's my favorite radio station because they play the most popular songs and I like all the songs they play. Some people think it's mainstream, but who cares. There are other radio stations that I like too, like 103.5 KTU, I go there when z100 has too many commercials and when they talk about stuff I don't care about. Lately, z100 has been talking a lot about z100's Jingleball. The tickets are sold out though. I also noticed that they replay a lot of the interviews and sometimes they play one thing more than once. Have they always been doing that? Am I the only one that listens to the radio? Haha.

Anyways, I really like the song "Diamonds" by Rihanna. It's catchy and it's just one of those songs that I can listen to forever. Rihanna has such a nice voice too. The song goes perfectly with her voice. I also LOVEEEEEE Ed Sheeran. I love all his songs. They're all so amazing and I could listen to his songs forever. Just kidding, I need Rihanna and Taylor Swift too. Speaking of Taylor Swift, her new album just came out recently and her songs are a hit already. Especially the song "We are Never Ever Getting Back Together". I'm sure most of you guys know it. It's a pretty popular song nowadays although it's been a while since it was on YouTube. So, tell me about your favorite artists and songs, I would love to know.
