The economy is doing a little better and analysts expect more of us to spend more on The Holidays this year. But how will we buy our Holiday Gifts? Will we go out and wait on long lines and possibly get into battles with other shoppers as we purchase our presents? For me, I find it so much easier to let my mouse do the shopping as I click and buy at Amazon.com! Shop Amazon's Electronics Holiday Gift Guide - New Deals Every Day

Here is a bunch of short clips about Shopping in Stores on Black Friday, taken from America's Funniest Home Videos! It is titled "Black Friday Compilation | AFV"

Things sometimes go very wrong on Black Friday. Here is a 5 minute video about Black Friday Disasters. It has about a Million views! Here is the well written description: By now, we've all heard the Black Friday horror stories. The cast of characters is always the same: stampeding shoppers, pushy patrons and bellicose bargain-hunters. Along with great deals, the post-Thanksgiving shopping "holiday" can bring out consumers' more aggressive natures. Before you foray into the retail free-for-all, check out this compilation. You might think twice about leaving the house.

Taylor Swift did an ad for Keds shoes and the picture to the left is from that ad. Click the pic for more about Keds at Amazon.

The Animators

This video shows the filming of the video that features dancers known as Animators. Animation is a subclass of popping which is a jerky style of dance made up of many quick motions followed by poses. The animator variant is named in reference to stop motion animation popular in the days before computer graphics in adventure and monster movies.

The video starts with Taylor Swift in the most sparkly outfit she has ever worn and a wig so tight that it is giving her a headache. The purpose of the segment is the same as the purpose of the entire video. The idea being put forth is that there will always be others who have something to say about you or who are trying to do things to you. But Taylor Swift's advice is to ignore them, shake it off, and do you own thing. Make the moves up as you go, and totally enjoy yourself! This is not a new point of view. Shakespeare wrote in Hamlet, "Nothing is either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." It's not what happens to you, its how you react -- how you handle it, how you process it, what you do in response.

Taylor Swift finds herself among a trained and practiced group of expert Animator dancers. They execute mind blowing moves flawlessly. Taylor knows that these dancers are very controlled and precise, while all she is capable of is spastic motions. How will she handle this? She performs utterly adorkable dance moves based on whatever pops into her mind! She has this music in her mind saying it's gonna be alright. She may not be as good an Animator as the rest, but she is confident and knows she has other unique abilities, so she enjoys herself and that radiates and lights up the stage! She knows she is awkwardly ruining the great performance of the others but she is proud of her moves just like they are proud of theirs. Have a look and enjoy the Animators, and Taylor Swift doing her own dance moves! This 4 minute video already has 1.5 million views and it a must see for fans of Taylor Swift and fans of the song Shake It Off.

Outtake video #1 was the Cheerleader section. Taylor says that sometimes you feel like you don't fit in. But sometimes you can get everything you want in life without ever feeling like you fit in. The most important thing in life is to dance to the beat of your own drum and to look like you're having more fun than the cool kids! Taylor Swift prepared for the shoot by running to build up her cardio endurance. She had to do three straight days of jumping around! Watch Taylor and the other girls shake their pom poms and do various cheerleader moves including a basket toss where Taylor is caught by three guys; this is one fun video! It is nearly 4 minutes and has nearly 3 million views.

We would like to wish all of our readers a Happy Thanksgiving! If you're not from the United States, Thanksgiving is a holiday where we give thanks for the people and things that we have in our lives. We would like to thank YouTube for providing this free video sharing service, and all the viewers and videomakers for creating the YouTube community. Also, thanks to all the readers of YouTubeStars!

In this post, we'll see a Thanksgiving video from Olga, the juggling actress. We'll hear a song from Krista, the 13-year-old singer; and also another singing performance from Callianne and Kimberly.

But first, we would like to announce a new website for you to visit. A few weeks ago, we wrote about Oprah on YouTube. Several members of the community commented that with all these corporate channels on YouTube these days, it's not easy to find videos on the Most Viewed list that is made by "regular people."



In response to this problem, we created a "Most Viewed NonCorp Videos" list. This list is based on YouTube's Most Viewed videos list, but with the Corporate Channels filtered out. To keep the list of Corporations to filter up to date, we've put a "Flag this Channel as Corporate!" button to the right of each video. If you see a video in the list that you think is on a Corporate Channel, please click the "Flag this Channel as Corporate!" link to the right of that video. We'll review the channel and if we agree that it is Corporate, it's videos will be filtered out of the list in the future. Please check out our "Most Viewed NonCorp Videos list right now! If you see a Corporate Channel, be sure to Flag it. Thanks for helping us keep this list Corporate-Free!

And now... a word from our sponsor.   :)


Thursday is Thanksgiving. That means Friday is the start of the holiday shopping season. If you plan to do some online shopping at Amazon.com this year, please start your shopping from one of our Amazon.com links. You'll pay the exact same prices and we'll earn a little commission. To see some Amazon Black Friday Deals, please click here.





Olga was born in Russia but now lives in the United States. In this video, she gives thanks to her parents and to America. Olga is going to be in a national TV commercial very soon! She tells you about that also in this video.





Krista is only 13 but she already has quite a singing voice! She shines in this new video. She gets to act as well as sing. Krista made this video because she is competing in the YouTube Idol contest. She is also in the Webpops contest. Watch this video for info on the Webpops contest.





Callianne watched this singing video by Kimberly and decided to remix it. She added her own vocals - twice! Callianne sings low and high harmony along with Kim and the result is fantastic! Callianne is a member of the band "Beasts and Superbeasts" and you can buy their CD from the link in the description of this video. I bought a copy; it's great!
