YouTube Stars!

She's back! Long time guest blogger, Diana (attractive picture at left), is back with a review of 6 videos from 3 of her favorite YouTube Stars! Read what Diana says about these videos made by YouTubers she loves, including American Idol Adam Lambert. Please read Diana's last guest post, about Hispanic YouTube Stars!


Enjoy Diana's review!


Rhema Marvanne

Rhema Marvanne is a just turned 11 year old Gospel singer born in Texas, with an amazing voice. Rhema's mother whom she lost when she was just 3 of cancer, was also a singer/song writer. Rhema in an interview said she feels her voice was given to her by God to take over where her mother had left off. Her father is her best friend as you will see in her video All I want for Christmas is you (Daddy).

Her adorable smile, and wide eyes that shines a soul much older then her innocent face shows, will give you chills. She has already made 3 albums, and these videos are of when she was only 7 years old. I know its not Christmas, but why not put on a smile, and feel the love this little girl with the old soul can provide. The goose bumps are just an added bonus! Below are two of my favorite videos.

ALL I Want For Christmas- 7 year old Rhema Marvanne



Also watch, "I'll have a Blue Christmas", a song sang for Rhema's mother Wendi Marvanne who died of Ovarian Cancer in 2003.


Dani Shay
Living in Orlando, FL website   facebook

You may have seen her on America's Got Talent (Season 6) singing "What The Hell" A parody song she made up to the sound of BABY by Justin Bieber. Its Hella funny, Yes Dani is a woman, who happens to look a lot like Mr. Bieber. OR as she says he looks like her... You may have also seen her short stint on The Glee Project 2. Dani is a proud woman that dresses to make herself happy. She believes in being yourself no matter how hard it can be.

See her Audition on America's Got Talent(Season 6) here



Also watch:
What the Hell, full song at home video.
The Glee Project 2 - The Glee Project Party Rock Anthem Full Performance with Dani Shay.

Dani is not only a singer she is also a songwriter and guitar player. Here is a video with one of her Glee project 2 friends. They fell in love and Dani was proud to write this song about her. Keep a close eye on the video and see if you can tell who her love is before they show her!
One By Dani Shay

Dani is touring with the Be More Heroic campaign (its about a pro-love approach to anti-bullying). Something close to her heart that she started in early 2011. Dani can be booked for live performances by emailing info[at]danishay.com.


Adam Lambert
born January 29, 1982

Most people know Adam Lambert as the runner up (In my humble opinion, he should have won) in 2009's season 8 of American idol. And as any Gleek should know, will be appearing in Season 5 of Glee, I myself am excited to see this as both a fan of Adam Lambert and being an out and open Gleek myself. But did you know before he was known on American Idol, back in 2004 he played Joshua in the The Ten Commandments: The Musical, that was staged at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. He starred with other well known actors like Val Kilmer as Moses and Alisan Porter as Miriam. Alisan Porter is best known as the little star of 1991's Curly Sue.

The Ten Commandments: The Musical was directed by Robert Iscove, with choreography by Travis Payne and costumes by Max Azria. All of the original cast in 2006 were taped and a DVD was made of the play, available on Netflix DVD. Below is a short video of one of Adam's Solos playing Joshua singing "Is Anybody Listening?" This video is part of what you will see if you rent or buy the DVD, "The Ten Commandments: The Musical." I have seen this twice; the acting and singing is something as good as anything you might see on Broadway. You won't want to miss seeing this!!!

Is Anybody Listening?

Christmas is in 9 days! I like Christmas music and there are always a bunch of YouTubers making Christmas music videos this time of year. I am featuring 4 different versions of O Holy Night in this post because its my favorite Christmas song. I also made a playlist of new Christmas music videos and you can watch them here (I'll be adding more as I find them):



Here is a playlist of Christmas Music videos from 2008:




And now, 4 excellent versions of O Holy Night!

The Celtic Women are a beautiful and heavenly sounding group of singers from Ireland who always seem to sing to a crowd outside of a castle! You may have seen them on your local PBS TV station. They often play their concerts during fund raising weeks. This "Divine" video has about 5 million views!

From the video's description:

Celtic Woman, starring the angelically lovely Chloe Agnew, performs ''O Holy Night,'' from the Celtic Woman concert at Slane Castle, in Ireland.

This song was never broadcast on television, or released in the DVD of the concert.

I first discovered Chloe on the plus-size modelling/ fashion site, http://www.judgmentofparis.com Chloe is not only a brilliant singer and incredibly talented performer, but also a positive role model for young women today - showing them that they don't need to be anorexic to be beautiful and successful, but can be even more gorgeous at a naturally curvy size.

Charming singer Christina Amato ( anitsirhcmarie ) and her cool guitar playing daddy do a sweet yet powerful acoustic version of O Holy Night as part of her 3 video (so far) Christmas Music series. Watch her belt out those high notes in her Christmas Pajamas! See her other Christmas videos in the first playlist above, or at her YouTube channel.

NEWS FLASH! Christina has written a guest blogger post for us! Her review of 4 excellent videos is coming here soon! Thanks, Christina! :-)





Rhema Marvanne IS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD! Oh my Gosh, what an amazing voice this little girl has! Enjoy her version of O Holy Night which has 2.5 million views so far! Watch all the way through to hear her hit amazing notes and don't miss the cute ending! You can also see little Jackie Evancho (America's Got Talent star) sing O Holy Night, here.





Here's a very nice A Cappella version of O Holy Night by talented singer Delaney Elise. She adds another layer of her own voice singing harmony with the melody; its a great effect! Delaney has some cool rock tunes on her channel ("Flatline" rocks!) and you can buy her CDs on iTunes!



Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays / Happy New Year to you and your families!
