My Youtube Picks...

If your like me and you love sitting in your large computer chair amusing yourself with an array of entertaining Youtube videos, then sit tight and read through this entry to find out my favourite Youtubers and why. But firstly, for those of you that have been living under a rock for the last few years then here is quick summary of what exactly Youtube is...

Youtube is an online video sharing site where thousands of wannabe actors, television presenters, comedians, musicians etc...post videos of themselves online for the rest of the world to see. Some Youtubers do in fact have a natural talent of some kind but most are overrated, talentless hacks! *cough* Fred *cough* Instead of socialising with friends, playing video games or exploring the great out doors they poor their hearts in front of a camera in order to see how many hits they can get. Bit like me, just with a webcam. :)

Got it? Great. On with the blog...

#1 - Lisa Lavie
Lisa is an extremely talented singer with a beautiful voice. She may not be the most stunning girl (but still a looker in my opinion) on the market but her vocal talents are second to none. Reminds me a little of my favourite singer, Kelly Clarkson with a slash of Beyonce attitude. Normally I hate anyone who attempts to sing Michael Jackson's Earth Song but her cover of the MJ classic is brilliant, by far the best cover I've ever heard. I also love her rendition of Beyonce's Halo, absolutely beautiful. If you haven't checked out Lisa yet, please do. You'll love her.

#2 - Michael Buckley
Michael Buckley's webshow: WHATTHEBUCKSHOW is one of Youtube's most famous video blogs which sees Buck talk to us about all the latest gossip and celebrity news in his own unique way. Famous for his one take (no cutting) "blogs", Michael makes a living from his work on Youtube and has become one of few to become famous for his online alter ego. One of my favourite Youtubers and probably everyones favourite gay host, Graham Norton eat your heart out!

#3 - Charlie McDonnell
Charlie is famous for his show charlieissocoollike and his contributions to the Five Awesome Guys collaborations that took place during 2008. This saw Charlie and the other four guys do a video everyday (a different guy each day) for a whole year. Charlie known also as Tuesday (from his Five Awesome Guys days) is one of Britain's most famous video bloggers and has been entertaining us for about three years. Charlie's Challenge Charlie videos are extremely funny and his down to earth presenting style makes him very entertaining. If you like spotty teenage boys then Charlie is for you. ;)

#4 - Kurt Hugo Schneider & Sam Tsui
Kurt Hugo Schneider, this guy has talent. His piano playing and composition skills are top notch and he makes some fantastic videos. His friend Sam Tsui an extremely talented singer and his MJ medley that he produced with the help of Kurt was soooo good, if you find Kurt's page, take a look at that video - you'll be blown away. The two are part of an online web series, College Musical which is extremely funny and actually very well put together, the script itself isn't as good as it could be but the series as a whole is pretty good, the music is top notch! High School Musical would be jealous.

#5 - ShayCarl & the Shaytards

Shaycarl and his family (the Shaytards) are quite possibly my favourite Youtubers to date. An extremely funny series that follows the lives of Americans, Shay, his wife Kaliette and three children Sontard, Princesstard and utterly adorable Babytard. Having not been a particularly big fan of reality TV shows such as the Osbournes and the Karshadins due to their...unorthodox life styles. Check them out!

You can find all the above Youtubers at Youtube by either searching their name or one of their shows. I recommend all of them, obviously; kind of the point of the blog. And just for the record, this wasn't a Top Five nor were they ranked in order of my favourite, I just simply listed them in the order of who I thought of first. However ones that would never make my list include Fred who's show is just as bad as Bruno! and Chris Crocker, who's just a dick!
