YouTube Stars!

How can this be! Sara and Shannon look exactly the same! They are identical twins, yet strangers.

One is 17 and one is 21. One is from Ireland and one is from Sweden. They look quite a bit alike, both with long wavy blonde hair and similar facial features. Then when you add professional makeup artists to the mix, they come out looking absolutely identical!

Some things to know:

1. The video is AN ADVERTISEMENT for a website.

2. The site is Not Free. It costs $3.95 to sign up for 6 months, during which time you can look for your own twin stranger.

3. The site brings up this warning in FireFox: This Connection is Untrusted
The explanation is: www.twinstrangers.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is only valid for the following names: twinstrangers.net, www.twinstrangers.net (Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
The thing to do is visit the site at https://twinstrangers.net/ instead.

Here is a recent video from a Chinese TV company talking about the U.S. Women's Olympic Gymnastic Stars. It gives a recap of their success in London and provides short segments with a few of the women.



Gabby Douglas, Jordyn Wieber, Aly Raisman, McKayla Maroney and Kyla Ross  won many medals, including the first US team gold medal in 16 years.  Gabby Douglas, 16 years old, became quite famous after winning the women's all-around gold medal. McKayla Maroney talks about why she made a face during her silver medal ceremony.  Aly Raisman, the team's 18 year old captain, talks about how they accomplished what they set out to do and how much fun they had.

This post is for parents, to show them what is available on YouTube. If you are a child, please click here to read an article I wrote about iCarly.

I just read an article at LookingForClues, a website I sometimes write for (my articles - here). The name of the article is "Banned Sex Music Videos on YouTube - Is There Too Much Sex In Music Videos?" I decided to do some research and see if these music videos that the article says show sex and nudity are actually on YouTube. I did find the videos on YouTube and some do show nude girls.

If you are a parent, you should know that these kinds of videos are on YouTube. You can watch them yourself and then decide if you want your children to see them. The article says that this kind of thing could be harmful to the young. They may "think that they must achieve physical perfection, and an obsession with body image can lead to unnecessary dieting." I tend to agree.

Here are some music videos that are mentioned in the article. Beware - there is some nudity in some of these videos.




Wicked Game - Chris Isaak

This video was never banned and the author of the article mentions it as an example of how to be subtle when depicting sexual themes in a music video.





Girls on Film - Duran Duran

This is the "night" version which was banned in several countries and/or only shown at night.





Eric Prydz - Call On Me

Some will call this overly suggestive as it features lots of thrusting hips!





There were a few other videos mentioned in the article "Banned Sex Music Videos on YouTube - Is There Too Much Sex In Music Videos?" Some are Embedding disabled by request and others are too much like porn for my taste, so I won't be showing them here! If you are over 18, you can decide for yourself what you want to spend time watching. If you have young children, you might want to do some research to find out what is shown in some YouTube videos.

I would like to tell you about two talented female videomakers. Normally, I'd embed some of their videos in this post. However, both ladies have decided to set their videos to "Embedding disabled by request." So, I'll just tell you about these entertaining women and give links to their videos on YouTube.

But first, The NEWS. There is not much movement this week in the top 50 of the Top 100 Weekly Chart. But there are some nice movers in the bottom 50. MarieDigby, LazyLionProductions and Mememolly all made nice moves on the 41-60 page. Wowhobbs, a World Of Warcraft channel, moved up 8 to the number 88 slot.

The once mighty Lonelygirl15 channel has been losing subscribers lately. According to the Subscriber History for lonelygirl15, we see that the channel has been losing subscribers since it peaked at 101,357 on 9/23/2007. Will current number 1, Smosh, fall from the top like Lonelygirl15, Brookers, FilthyWhore and Geriatric1927 all have? If we look at the number of subscribers they have versus number two, universalmusicgroup, it doesn't appear that they will leave the top spot any time soon.

Recently, we reported on the YouTube community's reaction to the fact that Oprah is on YouTube. Since then, there has been one more video of note on the Oprah "Hullabaloo" from popular videomaker Boh3m3. Please have a look at his thoughts on the matter, in his video titled An Apology / All the Hullabaloo (language warning!)

A few weeks back, I was visiting with my young niece and nephew and something in the conversation caused me to begin singing the chorus of a song that I had not heard in years! I did not remember who sang the song, but I did know it contained the phrase "Love and Desire." So I searched for these words on YouTube and found a video that used the song as a backing track. The video portrayed a woman having a wonderful time dancing to the tune.

The woman in the video is Diana, an artist living in Arizona. She has made over 180 videos, almost all show her dancing to songs from the 60s through today. The first words on her profile sum up her attitude: "Have Fun...Do what you want to do...even if you're criticized." Diana certainly has fun making her dance videos! I also enjoyed her dancing to New Order's Blue Monday, Billy Idol's White Wedding and Madonna's 12 inch version of Burning Up. For more on Diana and her art, please visit her website.

I'm not sure how I first came across this very intelligent and charming young lady. I do know that the first video of hers that I saw was titled amerenglish. Lydia, living in the UK, discusses something that always interests me, the differences between British English and American English. I was struck by the level of presentation by someone of this age. Lydia is 15 and explains in her explanation video that she has been "technically labeled as gifted since I was about three." She is not saying this to boast, but it is clearly true as seen in this video!

Please also watch Lydia's commercial break, a cool faux advert for a Casio keyboard. And don't miss her question and answer video series, starting with Part I. Click here to see a list of all of Lydia's entertaining videos.
