YouTube Greatness!

      I'm an avid, whole-hearted, huge FAN of YouTube and those who dare to share more than their words and insights with the world but actually share their talents, voices, face and other things. These following artists share with the world what some of us, myself included only do in the commodity, convenience and comfort of our home because isn't it so much easier to not subject oneself to the possibility of ridicule from others? I admire these chaps who open, to the globe, their life's guestbook for anyone to sign and judge. It takes bravery and real gumption to do that day to day with people you know so I give them props.

      You may be asking where i'm headed with this? Am I to release a cover of one of my favorite songs on the World Wide Web? Well the answer is no. Well, not YET anyway. I am pleased to show you some of my favorite YouTube artists and their performances in no particular order.

1)  This is MIKE THOMPKINS. He is incredible! "Teenage Dream" and "Just The Way You Are" with only sounds from his mouth? Don't get what I'm saying? Check this kid out by clicking HERE!!!

2) Paul Dateh. This guy should have a reserved spot in the New York Philharmonic. He mashed current Top 40 songs into one by using a violin. Yes. A violin. See his greatness HERE!!!!

 I can't even play a kazoo...

3) Speaking of kazoo's!! Can you imagine playing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" on a kazoo? AND slide whistles! This guy? Did JUST THAT. Click HERE to see his awesome & funny (in a good way) interpretation of the greatness that is "Bohemian Rhapsody."

4) DJ Earworm made one of my favorite songs of 2010. I literally played the living daylights out of this at parties, my house, my car, you name it. The patience to edit something like this? Doesn't exist in any fiber of my being. Click HERE to listen to a coherent and major mashup of all of 2009's tip hits in ONE SONG.

Last but not least is one of my favorite's.

5) My last post was about him. Yes, I know. I just REALLY like him. THIS is the video that was (and is)  being watched around the world and catapulted Nick onto the Ellen show a few times and into 20 million views and counting.
