YouTube Stars!

Here are four great music videos! The first three are from young girls with big voices. I think we'll be hearing more from them in the future. Each one has a good singing voice and the potential for a successful singing career if they work at it. The last video is from a musician who was recently a medic in Iraq. Enjoy them all!

But first, the News! There is a channel on YouTube that featured videos of missing children. This channel, DontYouForgetAboutMe, has been getting some publicity lately because of its partnership with the Find Madeleine website. You've probably heard about Madeleine McCann, the 4 year old girl who went missing this past May while on holiday with her family in Portugal. The International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), in collaboration with the Find Madeleine Campaign, is providing this page as a public service in an effort to help reunite missing children with their families. There are 42 videos on the channel of missing children. You may want to have a look at the videos and email your friends to ask them to look too.

KristaHeartzuz Singing RESPECT (Request)

Krista is a 13 year old girl with a lot of talent! She has a great singing voice and makes enjoyable music videos for YouTube. She recently had her account deleted because she had started posting videos before she turned 13 and YouTube has been cracking down on underage users. Interestingly enough, Krista had turned 13 just as YouTube deleted her original account. But she is back with the KristaHeartzuz channel and has reposted some of her older films including this great cover of Respect by Aretha Franklin. Enjoy her singing, dancing and acting!

Respect - Jessica Sanchez singing at the Apollo

Here's another cover of Respect, this time by 10 year old Jessica. She is at the Apollo theatre and is introduced by Whoopi Goldburg - nice! You may wonder how a 10 year old has a YouTube channel. Well, this is actually her mom's channel. Jessica is a little girl with a big voice and she will go far in the future.

Paula Hernandez Caramelito 1ºsemifinal Veo Veo 2007

14 year old Paula sings this original song on Spanish TV. Most of the lyrics are in Spanish but part of the chorus is in English. It's a great upbeat tune and she has fun singing and dancing with the other dancers. You can listen to a higher quality version of this song on her myspace. I love this song!

She Wants Some

This is a really nice original song from Ray Gerber. Two years ago, Ray was a medic in Iraq. He's still in the Reserves and plays guitar for the 319th Army Reserve band from New York. I like the chord structure of this song, as well as Ray's performance of it. Check out his myspace for more music!
