YouTube News: My Personal Top 10 Favorite Youtubers.

Feeling up for a laugh, a song, a how-to? These 10 YouTubers will have you glued onto your computer chair for hours.

1. Jack and Finn - Jacksgap

 

Jacksgap is a cheeky channel and is one of my favorites in the YouTube world. If you are like me and skip forward several videos, then you may think that you're seeing double. Don't freak out! That's Finn Harries; Jack's twin brother. Jacksgap features Jack and Finn's many humorous adventures out and around, well, the entire planet. You can always be guaranteed a laugh and a grin at the very satisfying 5-or-more minutes of Jacksgap's crazy antics. New videos are posted every week.

  2.  Zoe - zoella280390

  

If you haven't heard of Zoella then you have yet to watch, in my opinion, one of the most bubbly and beautiful YouTubers around. Zoella is known as a sweet beauty guru who posts how-to's on make-up and hair, collaborations with her real-life brother; ThatcherJoe, and regular beauty hauls. Zoella is like a cupcake--sweet and small in every bite, but in her case, sweet and small in every video.

3. Caspar - dicasp

 

Caspar Lee is pretty much your stereo-typical older brother. He's a little bit cocky, 50% weird, and 50% funny. Whenever you tune-in to watch Caspar's videos you never know what to expect. His channel ranges from off-topic interviews with his fellow YouTubers to picking up girls using foreign  accents. One thing for sure is that Caspar never leaves you bored, for his videos are too weird and spontaneous even for that.

4. Marcus - MarcusButlerTV

 

"Helllloooo!" is Marcus Butler's signature introductory to all of his videos. He posts all kinds of random ramblings but is undoubtedly charming in almost all situations. Not unlike Caspar Lee, Marcus' videos are spontaneous and reveal the humor in real-life situations and subjects.

5. Joe - ThatcherJoe

Thatcher Joe is you guessed it--Zoella's younger brother. Like most of the YouTube channels that I have already mentioned, Thatcher Joe is funny, attractive, and just as bubbly as his dear sister. Joe really is one of the weirdest British YouTubers out there and personally, I think he deserves more recognition then he currently gets. But seriously, if you ever feel like being stared at with big doe-eyes; Thatcher Joe is the perfect channel for you.

6. Grace - dailygrace

You don't come across many YouTubers who know how to used dry humor. Well, DailyGrace uses dry humor, her voice that changes intervals, and pretty face to power her always growing YouTube channel. She posts 5 videos a week which include vlogs, collaborations, and Sexy Friday's. Toping it off in a fair opinion, I think she'd be a very cool best-friend.

7. Ricky, JC, Kian, Connor, Sam and Trevor - our2ndlife

The six young men of our2ndlife each separately have their own individual channels. It must of occurred to them what a great idea it would be to have a channel where they each still post individual videos though...have it on the same channel. Confusing, I know, but take my word for it that these guys are great! Each week our2ndlife chooses a theme of their videos on this shared channel and separately they then post their altering memories, opinions, emotions, and etc. in forms of creative and entertaining videos. They have taken ideas such as Halloween, back-to-school, in real-life, and other pieces of randomness to create an awesome channel with some pretty awesome videos.

8. Toby - Tobuscus

  

There literally aren't any words to explain Toby. You have to watch at least one of his videos to experience the hilarity of his somewhat awkward personality.

9. Paint - Paint

 

Paint may sound like a artsy name and in all honestly Paint is a very artsy channel. Paint takes media and turns it into harmonies that flow together like paint (pun intended), and come out as impressive and funny at the same time. Paint has an amazing voice and really, after all of it, you can't help but wonder how long the entire process of making his videos took. That's just how unique Paint's channel happens to be.

10. Brad, James, Tristan and Connor - The Vamps 

 

The first reaction that you have when you see the main singer of The Vamps is, "It's Harry Styles' twin bother!" Admittedly, that was my first thought too but soon after listening to The Vamps' many covers I discovered that not only does the band play their own instruments, but they also have extremely distinct voices that really shouldn't be mistaken for One Direction's. I saved The Vamps for last because their channel is hands down my favorite. Please. Watch. These. Boys.

Do you have a favorite YouTuber? If so, who is it and why do you enjoy their videos so much?

The Past, Future, and Present.

People have been asking me recently when the next update will be on my blog, Living the Impossible. As many of you may know, my last blog post published on Living the Impossible was written several months ago. I have chosen to discontinue this blog because honestly, I thought that it was unprofessional. My blog was confusing to browse and it had no coherent theme. The truth is, I was ready for a new start.

And here it is, I Can't Hear You. My Headphones Are On. My ultimate plan for this blog is to post new content every Sunday. This blog is all about the entertainment world. It will span from music to the Youtube community. I hope you will feel free to post your thoughts, comments,  and opinions on these posts. You can also email me privately and suggest ideas for upcoming posts.
I am hoping that this blog will be much more successful than my last. . . .

Concert Review: Hunter Hayes Soaks in the Summer Heat at Madison, NE's Country Fair.

Hunter greeted us with a warm smile and a friendly, “Hello! How are you today? What’s your name? Where are you from?” He wasn't more than 5’7 in height and his small size and genuine interest put an admiring expression on adult women and adoring girls alike. On July 13th, 2013, I got the chance to not only watch the 21-year-old Louisiana native perform at Nebraska’s Madison Country Fair, but I was also lucky enough to meet the singer several hours before he performed. This was like a dream com true for me, because for a while now, I have looked up to Hunter Hayes and religiously listened to his music. Getting the opportunity to actually meet the singer was simply mind-boggling.

For all of you who may not know much about Hayes, let me simply start by saying that he is an absolutely amazing artist. He’s been nominated for several prestigious music awards including Grammy’s, CMA’s, and CMT’s. He has sung on shows including Late Show with David Letterman, Good Morning America, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Talk, E! News, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. He also participated in the CMA Music Fest.

At a young age, Hayes played for Bill Clinton. He writes his own lyrics and plays a total of 30 instruments. Hayes has also been the opening act for stars including Taylor Swift, Rascal Flats, and Carrie Underwood. He is currently on his CMT Let's Be Crazy Tour with opening act, Ashley Monroe.

  

 

  

Hunter Hayes released his self-entitled debut album in 2011 which featured hit songs’, ‘Wanted’, ‘Storm Warning’, and ‘Somebody’s Heartbreak’. Earlier this year he released an updated version of his debut album, ‘Encore’. This album includes eight new, updated tracks and features his most recent hit, ‘I Want Crazy’. Hunter not only co-wrote all of his songs but he also co-produced both of his albums.

At the concert I attended, the music started later that evening at 7:00 p.m. as Neal McCoy, performed the opening act. McCoy swaggered around the stage with ease and sang with pure country twang. He joked about the current youth and the booths selling “Hunter Hayes crap”. McCoy was very comfortable with the audience and wasn’t too bad of a singer either.

When Hunter came on stage he entered with style. The audience was (or at least I was) getting antsy and so the cheers seemed about 10 times louder for Hayes then they were for McCoy. Hunter Hayes’ concert opened with flashing lights and a loud but amazing performance of ‘A Thing About You’. Opening with this song was not only a thrill to me, this song being one of my personal favorites on the album, but also a great start for the first performance of the evening. The song truly had the crowd excited.

Other songs that were featured in the concert included his well-known sing-along ‘Storm Warning’, his popular ‘Somebody’s Heartbreak’, ‘If You Told Me Too,’ ‘Love Makes Me’, ‘Faith To Fall Back On’ and ‘More Than I Should’ which is a song that he re-did for ‘Encore’. Hunter also performed the catchy ‘Everybody’s Got Somebody But Me’ where he explained the inspiration for the song was, “I must admit that I am awkward, shy, and quiet,” to which he got numerous cheers and hollers from the audience. “There was once a time in my life when I spent time with my friends they were all with a significant other. That’s okay except there comes a point where it gets tiring.” Hayes also did an amazing performance of ‘Rainy Season’. Personally, I believe that his live version of this song sounded better then his  recorded version. He also sang new songs that were added onto ‘Encore’. Hayes did an energetic performance of ‘Light Me Up’, and a superb performance of ‘Better Than This’. He also demonstrated his loyalty to American heroes by singing ‘Where We Left Off’ which he recorded specially for the movie, ‘Act of Valor’. For a bit of fun he performed a cover of 'This Love' by Maroon 5.

The best, most beautiful song that Hayes sang was hands down, ‘Wanted’. He started the song off by saying, “Thanks for making this my first number one single, guys. I love you.” Hayes let the audience sing the chorus by themselves and played the verses on his piano. Even though the stands and floor was packed with adoring fans, ‘Wanted’ had a very intimate feeling.

Two hours later, Hunter Hayes’s concert was completed with his newest single, ‘I Want Crazy’. Hayes showed off his impressive guitar skills and the whole crowd sang along with enthusiasm. It was a great ending and obviously everyone thought so because the crowd called for one more song. Hunter came bounding back on stage and performed a song that didn’t quite make the cut for ‘Encore’.

Hunter Hayes' energy while he performed was completely infectious. He smiled, ran, jumped, and simply rocked-out throughout the entire concert.

There was an amazing, and very positive energy in the crowd at this outdoor venue and fortunately, even though it was very warm previously that morning, it was an absolutely lovely night with a much-needed breeze.

Hunter was an incredible live performer and I am sure, as are many others, I was amazed and very pleased by his performance.

Seeing him in YouTube interviews, a person can automatically tell that Hayes loves what he does. Seeing him performed live confirmed all suspicions.

Hunter performed an amazing concert and even though his script could use some work he put on a brilliant night of music.
