YouTube Stars!

I really like the song "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse. It has a groovy 60s soul sound. Several YouTubers have done excellent covers of the song. Last month, we wrote about about the great job DanielleHatfield did with her cover of this cool tune. Now, here are three other nice versions of this hit by Amy Winehouse. I won't comment on each one individually; I love them all! Each singer does a great job and adds some of her own style. Check them out!

If you want to watch the original video, with 3 million video views, its here.

Here are 6 cool music videos for you to watch as you remember the Summer of 2009 and look forward to the Fall. We have 4 original songs and 2 cover songs. I picked out these videos from my list of recent Favorites, and Diana wrote up the reviews. Enjoy!

Taylor Sumner is a 13 year old girl who loves to sing and write her own music. All I can say is, "Wow!" 13 years old and you can see and hear the passion in this girl. This is a video of her singing an original song called Pointless that she wrote and plays the guitar in. This is an adorable music video made by Taylor that you have just got to see... ( Did I say she was 13? I mean wow really now 13 and she sings, writes her own songs and plays the guitar "WOW!" )




Heidi is a young 25 year old Australian woman from the city of Gold Coast. Heidi is here in this amazing YouTube video singing her original song called Here I come. What a clear and beautiful voice this woman has. "Amazing!" I had to subscribe as soon as I heard this. There is a perfect balance of harmony and the music has such a calming beauty, I would call it enchanting. Come and see what I mean; you wont be disappointed!




This is an original song called My Constant sung and written by YouTube user bri3jet. An amazing sound with the cross between Christian-R&B and soul. She has a powerful and a breathy voice that goes wonderfully with this song. It amazes me everyday, the talent and people you can find on YouTube. You have got to hear this girl's song that leaves you with a smile and a peaceful feeling. Watch, you'll see what I mean.




Jenny Lane is an amzing talent from Amsterdam. Jenny's love for music, singing, dancing and the need to be creative shows in this music video called Say Say Say that she Co-Produced and wrote. This is a great video, so much fun to watch and I think worthy of MTV right now, as is. She is having a blast doing this and it shows. You can see the work that went into making this. I loved it so much, I added it to my Favorites as soon as it was over. I have to say Jenny Lane just made herself a new fan here. You have got to watch; check this girl out!




This lively 19 year old girl made a video of her own for the song Handlebars. I have to be honest, I have never heard of this song before and its not something I think I would listen to on my own. But she is just so cute, using her talent of being silly and fun to make people laugh and have a good time. What more could you ask for? Okay, are you ready to smile? Come and have a look at this!




Emily is 17 years old and from Hertfordshire in the UK. She has been dancing from the age of 3 and singing since the age of 11, and it shows. In this video Emily is singing "There's a Fine Fine Line" from "Avenue Q." I love when a person has so much passion for what they are doing that it shows in their actions and voice. What a beautiful, powerful and grown up voice this girl has. To see someone so young have so much passion in something is like a breath of fresh air to me. To have a talent and want to show it to people is amazing but what really gets me is not everyone has the strength to get up there and show it. I say Bravo, Emily! Don't miss out on this one; watch her sing now.

So I'm looking through recent tweets about Twilight and I find one about Lucie Jones, an 18 year old girl from Wales who is doing well in the X Factor competition. X Factor is similar to American Idol, America's Got Talent and Britian's Got Talent. It even has Simon Cowell as one of the judges. Lucie just sang "I Will Always Love You" originally done by Whitney Houston, a few days ago on the show. Several people on TwitterTwilight.com are saying that Lucie looks a lot like Kristen Stewart who plays Bella Swan in the Twilight movies! I tend to agree, she does look a little like Kristen, mainly from the side angle views in the video.

Check out Lucie doing an amazing job with "one of the hardest songs in the world to sing," and see if you think she looks anything like Kristen. Or maybe you think she looks like a young Ann Margaret, some have said that too! In any case, she sings great, enjoy!

You don't have to adore pugs to get a kick out of this ( but I think it would help! ) I loved this video. Perfect and you can tell the owner has a great imagination and love for this little guy. This was so cute and funny I had to subscribe just to see what he was going to do next with this awesome acting pup! Come on and see what I mean.




Julie ( Aka Julieofsburbia ) Is an adorable 16 year old Danish girl who talks about everything. She has an adorable accent that makes the videos more appealing to me. ( I just think it’s so cute. ) She talks about anything and everything and I don't know about you but that is just refreshing to me. She talks to the camera as if she is hanging out with an old friend. Cute, and something to pass time so go check out this little Cutie.




Ok this is great for a laugh. This is the Anti-lullaby. He plays the ukulele and sings his own song called "A Better Version of You." I have to say I LOVED IT. The ukulele is a little loud and it’s hard to hear the words so pay close attention because it’s really fun and you don't want to miss a thing. Come on now, go hear for yourself!




Ok this one is for the photographers out there. (And well anyone really who just loves or enjoys beautiful outdoor pictures!) Theses pictures were all taken by Andy himself. He has an amazing eye for color and light. The images seem to jump at you and I found myself putting the video on pause more than once to see some of these perfect nature pictures as close as I could. Go check out this video if you love pictures of nature. You won’t be sorry!




Perfect, you may not understand this video, so just go here to watch where he got it from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68Yb_2z7TeY He did this so well. Now that suit up day has past, I wonder how many people do you think really did this? Looked like fun; had I know about this, maybe .... maybe I would have done it too. What do you think? Would you have done the Day of Awesome: International Suit-Up Day?




This adorable young man's name is Dan. He wrote, sings and plays this song called "Serenade City." You can tell when this kid gets older he is going to really have it all going on. Practice makes perfect and for someone so young to write, sing and play? “WOW,” all I can say is, you go boy! I look forward to seeing what this kid can do when he gets older. Go see what I mean!
