YouTube Stars!

Long time guest blogger, Diana (attractive picture at left), is here to review 3 videos from YouTube Star Megan Nicole! Read what Diana says about Megan Nicole and three of her popular videos. We mentioned Megan Nicole right here over 3 years ago when she was just getting started, but now she has over 2 Million Subscribers!

Megan Nicole, YouTube Star!

Megan Nicole was born on September 2, 1993. She is a Houston, Texas girl with dark shiny locks that any shampoo commercial would love to show off. And those dark brown eyes, so wide and full of life and when she smiles, it reaches them. Go on take a look.

It's hard to believe this now 20 year old young woman, whom by the way also plays the ukulele and piano, was shy in high school. She says in one of her Q and A's she felt music was a tool to help her overcome her shyness, as the stage is where she feels she is most at home.

Megan joined YouTube on Dec 21, 2009 Her first video where she covers Kings of Leon (Use somebody) is where it all began. She uploaded this the day she became a member. Anxious to get started and get her face out there, Megan started slow, with only a few subscribers, BUT NOW HAS 2,107,252 subscribers. I had never heard her before. I thought the song was very cute and well done, but I kept going, I wanted to see how she went from almost a no one to having over 2 mill subscribers. and being a SUPPORTING ACT for Boyce Avenue World Tour.

Megan has become so well known she has a second channel here with Q&A's with fans, behind the scenes fun and more.

So I am going to find three favorite videos of hers and tell you what I think. I felt how green she was in the start. Shy and a little clumsy on her guitar. It did not take long for her to come into her own. Less than a year later, on Sep 9, 2010, Megan uploaded "Teenage Dream - Katy Perry (Cover) Megan Nicole"



Megan shows she has true talent and knows she's going to be a star in her own right. Her octave range was shown better in this song and she has perfect pitch and harmony. You can see the fun and passion not to mention how adorable she is! Now she is getting me hooked!

We heard her saying she wanted to do her own music, so let's move along, a little over a year later we get B-e-a-utiful- Megan Nicole (Original Song) Music and Lyrics by Megan Nicole, Lairs Johnston, Stephen Folden, and Tom Mgrdichian, Produced by Tom Mgrdichian and Chris Cox, uploaded on Jul 15, 2011.



It's not just her singing, it's a music video that took 25 hours of shooting and 200 extras. I see acting in her future, the way she looks at her crush, with innocent longing, almost begging with her eyes for him to just see her. We all know how popular High School Musical was and this could have been a scene from any of those three movies. I am seeing the whole, all around talent now: singer, musician, and next? Maybe actress????

It takes almost 2 years for another original song, this one called Summer forever Written by Megan Nicole, Morgan Reid, and Prophet. Produced by Morgan Reid, Published on May 27, 2013, with a few face shots in the car of her sister and best friend. (BTW I WANT THAT CAR PLEASE)



A great teen anthem; her songs are sweet, colorful and fun. Something any one of any age can enjoy. Her talent has grown over the years, or maybe she overcame more of her shyness, because all I can see now is a young woman having fun doing what she loves and you know what, I have to say this 34 year old woman adores her. Have a watch and leave with a smile. Do not forget to REQUEST: "Summer Forever" on Radio Disney.

All in all I enjoyed this very much. In the two hours I spent watching videos and learning about this amazing young lady, I had fun, laughed and smiled. I am now a fan of Megan Nicole and I want to wish her luck and a LONG successful career.

P.S. Wrecking Ball - Miley Cyrus (cover) Megan Nicole

I had to add this, I LOVE THIS SONG. It's so powerful, and Kick me in the eye I do not care I Loved the - no pun intended - naked truth of the video. BUT WOW Megan wow. You made this your own, you made it so children could watch a video about a song that is so significant. WAY TO GO.. Beautiful from start to end. And I see you're playing that piano. You have come into your own and I am proud to have made you my daily review! You go gurl!!!!

Here are 4 music videos that were just uploaded to YouTube this month, March 2010. Two are covers and two are originals. Check out these talented female musicians of YouTube. Please support their music by leaving comments on their videos and subscribing to their channels!

But first, The News!

Renetto is doing an interesting new series of videos called "Emo Dad" in which he uses vlogging as a form of therapy. Click the pic on the left to watch EmoDad: Am I a Loser? I also recommend EmoDad: Faith? which deals with faith in God - we wrote about that subject in our last post.


Our friend Cutiemish just released an iPhone/iTouch game app called Puny Humans and it's available at the iTunes app store now. Click the pic to the left to watch Mishy talk about the new app. Click Here to read our interview with Cutiemish.



Wired Magazine has an article in their April 2010 edition about the fifth anniversary of YouTube, titled "The 5 secrets of YouTube's success." Here are a few facts from the article: 87% of ratings are 5 stars. Most discussed video is "10 questions that every intelligent Christian must answer" (Not anymore, now its this one. See our last post for more on religion videos.) Fred has a recently inked movie deal. What's the ultimate goal at YouTube? "We want you to go into passive mode, sit back, and watch." (Hmmm, what does that mean for the YouTube community?)


Okay, now let's watch some Music Videos!


I am really loving TiffanyJoAllen's latest video which is a beautiful cover of "Hallelujah"! Her guitar strumming is perfect and her voice is powerful. Tiffany adds her own style to this often covered tune and it came out great! Also watch "Lady Gaga - Paparazzi - Music Video Cover" which features Tiffany acting and singing a very professional version of this hit song. Tiffany says in the description, "I decided to do something a little different this time, and make a music video. I had a blast creating it. Please enjoy my 10+ hours of editing. Haha"



Here is a very well made music video for the new song, iCandi, by Whitney Raenan. The song is upbeat and fun and the acting and editing is very well done. You can buy it on iTunes; I did and I love it! This is our Featured Video this week on the YouTube Top 100 Weekly Chart. Enjoy!



Megan Nicole plays guitar and sings so sweetly in this nice cover of the hit song "Baby" by YouTubeStar Justin Beiber. I'm very impressed with Megan's singing - she even does the Ludacris rap perfectly. It's great! Megan made the video "Embedding disabled by request" so click the pic below to watch it on YouTube.



Talented UK singer Rebecca Shearing teams up with buddy Laurie McIntosh on guitar to sing a duet of their cool original song, "Julia". Watch, you'll love it! Also watch their AWESOME cover of "Rude Boy" by Rihanna.
