It's always nice when families get along. Doing things together helps to create a strong bond. Memories are made that will last a lifetime. Especially when there's a video to look back upon in years to come!

Here are 5 videos of talented fathers and daughters making music together. In each case, the daughter sings while the father accompanies her on guitar. Enjoy all of these awesome father/daughter music videos!

This is post number 190 at YouTubeStars! We've been doing this for over 4 years now and our popularity continue to increase. Google Analytics says we had 17,421 pageviews in the last month; thanks to all our readers!

Also, we have been publishing our "YouTube Top 100 - A Weekly Chart of the 100 Most Subscribed YouTube Members" every week since mid 2006, and now our Chart gets almost as many pageviews as this blog. A few months ago, we launched our Top 200 Weekly Chart, which has the top 200 Most Subscribed channels on YouTube. This is data that you can only get from our Chart. YouTube doesn't provide this information. They only show the top 100 Most Subscribed channels. So check out our Top 100 and Top 200 Charts every week!

We will be watching three music videos and an interactive Circus film today...

But first, The News!

Savannah Berry, whose YouTube channel is SavannahSings gave us some exciting news this week. While vacationing in Orlando with her family, Savannah auditioned at Disney Studios for the American Idol Experience and qualified for a producers audition, allowing her to skip all the long lines! She auditions for American Idol next month; good luck Savannah!
Wait, there's more! Savannah was just chosen to open for platinum selling artist Sammy Kershaw at the July 17th fundraiser for the E.C.H.O Foundation at at Tin Hall, in Texas. Read more, here.


We mentioned in our Mike Lombardo Interview that Mike was competing at OurStage to open for John Mayer. He came in first out of hundreds of bands after rounds of fan judging. Now the OurStage people will select the winning band that gets to open for John Mayer. Click the pic and watch the video (which is kind of loud) - Mike will tell you all about it!


We have been writing about the Emo Kids since we first began this blog over 4 years ago. "Matt" was one of the first YouTubeStars and helped to make YouTube the sensation it is today. He went away for a while, came back, left again, but is now back with a new string of videos. Click the pic to watch his review of "We Are The Arsenal" new EP, "There Will Come Soft Rains" in his unique Emo style!


Eclipse, the third movie in the Twilight Saga, was released last week and has already taken in $300 million at the Box Office. But not everyone likes the books. Here is an intelligent presentation by one woman on why she does not care for Twilight. Click the pic and watch - see if you agree or not. For Tweets, News, Posters and Videos about all things Twilight, visit TwitterTwilight.com.


The vlogbrothers have organized VidCon 2010, a conference for and about videomakers. It runs from July 9th through 11th and takes place in Los Angeles, which just had a 5.9 magnitude Earthquake! Click the pic for more info on this sold-out event, which is supposed to be streamed live... Shane Dawson is going to be there!


Now, watch these videos!

Aldo Blaga is a 23 year old man from Romania who has one of the best singing voices on YouTube! I've heard thousands of singers on YouTube in the last 5 years and I know what I'm talking about. Just have a listen to his cover of Crying, originally done by Roy Orbison in the summer of 1961. Then listen to any other song he uploaded and you'll be just as pleased. This man is going to go far!





Charming and popular YouTube musician Tiffany Jo Allen is back with an awesome cover of Gnarles Barkley's "Crazy." Tiffany Jo has about 110 Thousand subscribers and over 28 Million Total Upload views, making her one of the more popular musicians on YouTube. She is well liked because of her awesome singing and guitar playing, as well as her high level of interaction with fans by responding to comments and talking to them at her many shows. Watch any video on her channel and you'll be glad you did!





Irish lass Chloe Wilders is only 14 but has already done some live shows and written her own songs. Here's one called "Naked" - Chloe does a great job of singing and playing guitar, and listen to the lyrics, they're quite good! Watch her other videos, including her latest one "Gypsy" by Shakira, on her YouTube channel.





We have been watching and writing about OlgaKay for almost three years now. This young Russian actress and juggler living in LA has always been fun to watch and now she is getting the recognition she deserves. She stars in this beautifully made short interactive film about Circus life, which already has nearly 3 Million views and has just been up a little over a week. Olga keeps climbing up the YouTube Top 200 Weekly Chart of Most Subscribed channels. This week, she climbed three spots up to #121 Most Subscribed. It won't be long before she enters the Top 100!

Here is a mix of covers and originals performed by some of the talented female musicians of YouTube. Please support their music by leaving comments on their videos and subscribing to their channels!

But first, The News!

Do you like the Twilight Saga of books and movies? Nothing new lately on their YouTube channel lately, but you can keep up with what fans are Tweeting about Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, at TwitterTwilight. Also check the Twilight News Feed for stories like this latest one: "Twilight stars rock in The Runaways - Good news for Twilight fans. As well as the third instalment, there will be another chance to catch some of its stars this year."


Our friend Ali Brustofski just released a new single on iTunes called "Up Up Up!" and it's great; I bought it already! From the description: "'Up, Up, Up!' is the brand new single by Ali Brustofski, the New York Songwriters Circle's "Young Artist Award Winner"! Click the pic to the left to watch Ali talk about the new song, and you can hear a sample of it too!



Celeste Kellogg is another friend of ours. She is having a Valentine's Day Contest! It runs from February 1st to 10th and you can learn how to enter by watching the video (click the pic). Good luck, everyone!


Okay, now let's watch some Music Videos!


I am really loving Jes Loren's (surfhouse) latest Original song, "Beauty Queen"! It is a guitar based tune showing off Jes' great voice and songwriting ability. The song is a tribute to Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus, and the video is a nice slideshow of them. Buy this song on iTunes, you will not be sorry, it's great!



Melanie Ungar is back with a new "little vlog" and cover song - "Two Is Better Than One." You could skip ahead to 1:48 if you don't want to hear her talk, but why would you do that? Melanie's little vlogs are pretty cool! She is making this from her new house, with straight hair. Melanie does a great job singing this Boys Like Girls featuring Taylor Swift hit. Enjoy!



Chloe Wilders (ChloeW13) is only 14 but she has been on YouTube over a year and has 10 videos. This young lady from Ireland has a very strong singing voice that keeps getting better and better! Listen to her cover of "Who I Am" by Nick Jonas and the Administration. It's great!



Rachel Farley, from Georgia, is also 14 but has been doing live shows for years! See her MySpace for upcoming shows. "Daddy's Girl" is an original song written by Rachel and Wil Hodge. Rachel plays it in Kentucky in the rain but it doesn't stop her from giving a great performance! Watch, you'll love it!



Christina Peoples (tinasjak) is back with another professionally recorded cover of the song "Angel" originally by Sarah McLachlan. Christina is a beautiful woman with an equally beautiful voice. Watch the video for a slideshow of Christina and her beautiful family!
