YouTube Stars!

I've found four new videos for you all to see! One has quotes on Wisdom. One announces contest winners; I was one of them! One is a popular Morphing Kitty viddy, and the last is a philosophy video from a "cat".

First, let's have a look at this week's Top 100 chart. Our Featured video comes from Pippilly. She is an attractive lady with a great smile who has made 55 videos since she joined in March. This week, Pippilly became my 100th subscriber! I checked out her videos and subscribed to her in return.

The big news from this week's chart is the debut of Mememolly. Molly enters the chart at the number 95 spot after a gain of over 5 Thousand subscribers this week. The interest is due to her popular "are you anybody's favourite person?" video that we reported on just last week. YouTube featured the video the day after we wrote about it. The video now has almost 1.3 Million views, over 10 Thousand comments and over 200 Video Responses! Congrats, Molly!

The other "big thing" this week was the blow up and make up between Renetto and PeriUrban. Peri vented on Paul's recent videos and about their interaction concerning the WeTube / eNation project. Tom (tlg847), Mike (Argentium009) and Steph (livingpassion) commented by video as the conflict unfolded. Within a few days, they seemed to be satisfied with each other's video responses and now the matter seems to be resolved. This is a big win for the YouTube Community!



Quotations of Wisdom

Here's a video of quotes from wise men and woman, from the days of the ancient Greeks to today. This 8-minute film is just one of 123 interesting and insightful videos from psychtruth. The videos cover timely topics in nutrition and psychology. Check them out and learn something new!

CD Lottery The 10 Winners!!!! - Jennifer Newberry

If you've been watching YouTube for any length of time, you know that there are many attractive women there. One of the most attractive and talented women of YouTube is Jennifer Newberry. Recently, she posted a video on her channel asking people to enter a contest to win one of 10 of her latest music CDs. I entered and I won! The adorable Ms Newberry announces the winners of her contest in this video. See my name at 2:03? I'm a winner! Jennifer promptly sent out the CD along with a hand written note; how sweet! I'm listening to the CD right now and it's great! Be sure to check out Jennifer's Sellaband page and buy some "parts" - I did!

This time, we'll see a crazy Q & A video, a thoughtfully posed query with many responses, a celebrity parody and a vlog that recaps recent activity by a YouTubeStar. We're reported on Julie, Molly, Jodie and Paul before, but they continue to make excellent videos, so let's see what's new!

YouTube continues to attract viewers. Have a look at the Top 100 Chart on any given week and you'll see that almost all the YouTubers on the chart have gained subscribers over the previous week. People from all over the world (except for maybe Thailand and Turkey) continue to come to YouTube to watch music videos, laugh at crazy antics, or connect with others in this new face-driven medium. Chris Crocker is creating publicity for YouTube lately with his "Leave Britney Alone" video, which got him on the Jimmy Kimmel show and now has over 9 Million Views! Chris moved up 6 spots on the chart this week, to the number 15 spot by gaining over 11 Thousand new subscribers. I think that the YouTube newbies will find many other talented and entertaining people to watch, if they know where to look. I would invite them to subscribe to this blog (use the box in the left column) so they can be made aware of some excellent videomakers! And since YOU are reading YouTubeStars, why not email your friends and ask them to have a look too. Thanks!


Julie the Free

UndiscoveredJulie is one of the best improv skitmakers on YouTube. Her videos are crazy but very entertaining! In a recent video, she asked viewers to submit questions that she would answer in a future video. I submitted a question and Julie answered it in this video. Thanks, Julie! Read more about Julie, here.

are you anybody's favourite person?

I believe that one reason for YouTube's popularity is the ease with which one can communicate with interesting people from all around the world. Mememolly has made a bunch of interesting videos - music videos, response videos and vlogs. In this film, she poses a thought provoking question, "Are you anyone's favorite person?" This struck a chord with YouTubers and they replied with almost 900 comments and over 70 response videos. Read more about Molly, here.

Brangelina Parody- "Adopt Me Too" Music Video

VenetianPrincess makes a music video! She sings of her desire to be adopted by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. The song is cute; the video is funny and well edited. VP (Jodie) has a wide range of talents, as can be seen in her popular Princess videos and the amazing XBox mini-movie. Now she can add this parody (as well as her Giuliani "Crush" parody) to her list of hits! Read more about Jodie here.

Chris Crocker's plan to post his Suicide Video on YouTube

Renetto is undeniably a YouTubeStar. He has consistently been on in the Top 40 and has seen steady subscriber growth over the last year. Some of his films are over the top crazy, while others provide analysis and spark discussion about the YouTube community. In this rather long movie, Paul recaps some of what he has been talking about in recent vids and comments on the "What the Buck" and Chris Crocker recent runs at fame. Agree or disagree, Renetto often mentions topics in his videos that launch lengthy discussions in their comment sections. Dialog is a good thing!

A few weeks ago, I did a post on four talented singer/songwriters who make music videos on YouTube, often accompanying themselves on Guitar. I wrote about videos by Creativefisher, stealurface1976, KrisShred and PeriUrban in that post. This time, I'll tell you about two more talented singer/strummers. I'll also show a music video made for a song by one of my all time favorite bands - The Ramones! I'll close with a rap video that everyone is talking about!

First, a word about last post's featured videomaker, Daxflame. There has been speculation that Dax - or Bernice - is a member of the Patrello family from Texas. His uncle has done some work in Improv and his sister Dylan has a YouTube channel of her own: lalaDylalan. Check out her first video in which she sings the classic song, Summertime. I think you can see the family resemblance! It has also been said that some of Dylan's college girlfriends are responding to some Daxflame videos. Is HayleyDontDoIt one of Dylan's friends? I have no idea! But she has made a few good responses to Dax, so check her out. Also, in Dax news, Dax has entered EclecticAsylumArt's "Strike a Pose" contest. EclecticAsylumArt is an amazing painter/sketch artist who has made pictures of several YouTubers, check out his channel!

Seasons

A recent addition to the list of talented YouTubers who sing and play the guitar, logana13 is a 22 year old college student named Polly who lives in the UK. She has a great smile and shows her love of music in her videos. She just joined YouTube about a month ago, but she already has 6 entertaining videos on her channel. Let's have a look at a song she wrote in a short period of time. It's a catchy tune and Polly performs it with joy and enthusiasm!

Greensleeves on fingerstyle acoustic guitar

Here's a delightful video from bsondahl. Brad Sondahl is a 53 year old man from Idaho who has been uploading loads of guitar/banjo vids over the last year. In this one, we hear Brad play the old Celtic melody that was transformed into a Christmas carol in the late 1800s - "What Child is This?" I've always loved this song and I thank DeepInTheWoods for pointing me to this and all of Brad's videos.

HEY! HO! LET'S GO!

I've been visiting YouTube for almost a year now, and I'm happy to say that I'm still finding new and interesting people to watch! Here's my newest find, and I'm her newest fan. =D I would like you to meet mememolly, a 17 year old woman who lives in Canada but is originally from the UK. Molly makes thoughtful and entertaining videos and looks great on camera! Here she is, trimming her "fringe" (bangs), followed by a music video she filmed and starred in, of "Judy is a Punk" from The Ramones first album. After only the first 4 seconds of this video, I knew I was going to subscribe to Molly - you should too!
