Very happy Sunday evening to you all! I hope that everything is going well where you are, but on a different note...let's talk about music and YouTube.
Let's start this conversation of the somewhat influential Justin Bieber. As most everyone knows, Bieber got his start on YouTube. After him emerged people like The Vamps and other ambitious young people. Over the years that I've become more-then-obsessed with music, I have discovered numerous amazing artists through YouTube. Below are some of my favorite YouTube musicians that I currently, am a huge fan of. These are my opinion of the best of the best.
*****
Jon Cozart AKA Paint:
Paint is one of the most talented YouTube musicians out there. He makes parodies of things like the Disney Princess', Harry Potter and movie villains. In his videos, Paint demonstrates his vocal talents by having 4 screens where, on each one, there is a different him. All of the screens harmonize and make an awesome video with a satisfying sound. In terms of organization, hard work and views, Paint wins everything.
IM5:
IM5 is a band that I first discovered after watching their Disney Dudez video. I thought it was brilliant, and that they all had really great voices. I loved the fact that each member of the band somehow managed to look expertly like a Disney prince. IM5 has continued to make music, some of their latest including covers of Royals, Story of My Life, and Wake Me Up.
AVByte:
AVByte make extremely accurate videos of people's favorite shows, just some includin Sherlock and Dr. Who. One of my favorite things about AVByte is the fact that their channel features people from Broadway. Their Sherlock parody had 2 amazing Broadway singers, and I couldn't help but applaud the singers vocal talent and of course right-on looks of Dr. Watson and Sherlock.
Tobuscus is known best for his repetitive 'NUGGET in a BISCUIT!!' that has been viewed approximately 20,200,956 times on YouTube. He is one nerdy man, though he is brilliant when it comes to his strange but very humorous sense of lyric and song. Currently, my favorite song (no offense, but can you really even call it a song?), of Tobuscus' is his ' Dramatic Song' which may be considered "stupid and time-wasting" to parents.
Nick Pitera:
Nick Pitera is somewhat like an older version of Paint. Pitera is absolutely amazing, and I became familiar with him after my friend, Erin, posted one of his videos on her blog. He is great and extremely entertaining since he always has dramatic expressions on his face while he blurts out the wonderful lyrics of Disney, Broadway and several others.
Colton Haynes:
Colton Haynes is legitimately one of the best-looking guys I have ever seen. Other than the fact that Haynes, is an actor and model, people has said that he is almost a "flawless" human being. I don't know that I can say he is "flawless", though when it comes to singing, he almost is. I never thought of him as the country type of guy, though I was proven wrong when I found the video of him singing, '19 You + Me' originally done by Dan and Shay. Haynes truly is a very talented person.
The Vamps:
Ah, The Vamps. I have mentioned these guys NUMEROUS times before so I wouldn't be surprised if you're tired of seeing their name come up. Still, I think these guys are awesome and they have a major career in front of them. Their newest single, 'Wild Heart', has a bit of a "Mumford and Sons feel to it." It's so catchy I find myself humming the chorus constantly throughout the day. I especially love The Vamps for the fact that they formed themselves. They play their own instruments, write their songs and like to call themselves a "proper band."
Elyar Fox:
Elyar Fox is one of my newest favorites. I have just started to listen to some of his music, and I have become a little bit obsessed with the podcasts' that he has been interviewed in. Fox seems so genuine, and his music is catchy and very pop influenced.
The Sam Chase:
The Sam Chase is a band that I discovered through the amazing Jacksgap. I don't believe that they got their start through YouTube, though they are a band I just couldn't leave out. Their song, 'In a Perfect World' has a great message, and their tune and voice reminds me of Passenger's 'Let Her Go'. 'In a Perfect World' is super quirky and it's one of my new favorite songs.
Anthem Lights:
Anthem Lights is just plain cool. They have fantastic covers of songs like, 'What About Love', 'Mirrors' and mash-ups from 2012 and 2013. I enjoy Anthem Lights so much I plan to buy their album when I remember. Ugh. So much music. Anthem Lights is a mutual favorite between all of my friends, so I highly recommend them.
Pentatonix:
Pentatonix is one of the best a capella groups that I have across while browsing music on YouTube. They are a very talented group of singers that have members from all different backgrounds and many different vocal levels. The entire group in one is somewhat mind-blowing when it comes to organization and vocal talent.
The George Twins:
The George Twins are like the Jack and Finn of singing. They are a set of identical twins with good looks, and well, even greater voices. They've only released 1 song, though they alreay have a good following of 1,816 followers on their channel. I am very excited to see where these twins will go.
Until later,
