While my country music allegiances will always go with Carrie Underwood for overall fandom, Taylor Swift’s second album actually outsold Carrie Underwood’s and her straightforward songwriting and fun personality make her someone that’s hard not to love.
After giving a little preview on Twitter, Taylor Swift (T-Swizzle) teamed up with hip hop’s biggest singer of hooks, T-Pain, to deliver a “Thug Story” at the CMT Awards. It was nothing short of awesome.
YouTube star turned Justin Timberlake-label (Tennman) signee Esmee Denters released her first single last week entitled “Outta Here.” Like everyone else in the music business these days, they went a little heavy on the autotune and took away some of the natural sound that I personally think made Esmee so great.
Somehow, they also have managed to make her look like a completely different person in the past few months as well.
And of course, as a YouTube star, her video is embeddable. Check it out and see what you think!
If you work in digital or social media, this Social Networking Wars video posted on Current.com has got to be one of the funniest (and cutest! Friendsterrrrrrrrrrr) videos that you’ll see today. The video puts a social network overloaded guy face to face with MySpace, Facebook, Friendster, and Second Life in a battle for his attention.
The nerd overload and stereotypes of each site are amazing.
By now, all of us know the Esmee Denters story – YouTube sensation turned signee to Justin Timberlake’s music label. While I can’t really explain why the song is Justin Timberlake featuring Esmee Denters, considering Esmee sings the majority of the song, the single “Follow My Lead” is pretty hot.
Esmee took the stage at YouTube Live, sans JT to perform the song and there’s something pretty… pretty… trying to think of the right word because it’s not really just inspiring, but just something really cool about seeing Esmee start to come into her own as a an on stage performer after dominating the world of viral video stars.
While some say that she sounds out of breath, I think she does a great job and looks incredible doing it. Who knew Esmee had those booty shakes in her?
However, does anyone else think it’s kind of weird that a video from YouTube Live has embed disabled? I think that’s kind of weird.
At YouTube Live, DJ Mike Relm was manning the “1’s and 2’s” and he had a few opportunities to show off his DJ-ing skills. When he did, it was unreal good. Big YouTube stars aside, DJ Mike Relm was one of the top performers from the show.
was held this weekend, where numerous YouTube stars got together in what felt like a celebration of some of the biggest viral videos that were birthed on the world’s biggest video site. One of my favorite performers on the night had to be some of the breaking crews from Planet B-Boy , a movie that my roommate Ryan absolutely loves.
Watch them perform at YouTube Live and see if you can somehow not get the chills when you see all these dancers from different countries coming together under one style and one roof.
But Halle Berry the “Sexiest Woman Alive?” Jesus, take the wheel, Esquire. I have to disagree!
Not that Berry is not beautiful because she is in every sense of the word. But there’s a big difference between “Beautiful” and “Sexy” and I think that Berry falls closer to the B than the S.
Everyone’s favorite heiress Paris Hilton took a turn in the FunnyOrDie waters last night with her very own campaign commercial after Republican candidate John McCain used her face for an attack ad directed towards Barack Obama.
, and more) for its “Pork and Beans” music video. It’s pretty brilliant!
It’s already one of my favorite music videos of all time, but I wish that they had recruited Peer Pressure, one of my favorite YouTube celebrity crews.
Ferg of the Black Eyed Peas stopped by NBC’s Today Show to perform Heart’s classic “Barracuda.” In what is probably one of the most awkward and horrible performances that I’ve ever seen, a camera even catches a guy in the audience laughing at Fergie crawling around on stage, doing some mild self-fondlage, and singing horribly.
Let’s stick with “Don’t Phunk with my Heart,” Fergie Ferg.
