You Tube Phenomenon, a Great Way to be Famous
82Actually the right title of this hub is “You Tube Phenomenon and The King of Streaming Media”. Actually I want to write this a long time ago, but I don't know I feel that this is the right time for me to share my thought about this unbelievable idea. I thought we all know and familiar with You Tube. You Tube is the biggest streaming media to give us chance to upload video online. What kind of video we can choose. We choose many categories, like: entertainment, news & politics, sports, science & technology, music, film & animation, Howto & Style, gaming, etc. You Tube can make a person who was nobody became famous in the virtual world, even in the real world. There are many more people who suddenly famous after uploading videos on You Tube. That’s why I called this a great way to be famous. I’ll tell to you about people who got fame after uploading their video through You Tube.
"Keong Racun" phenomenon in Indonesia
This also happen in my country, Indonesia. There are two young girls who popular because Lipsync video which uploaded on You Tube. They are Jojo (Jovita Adityasari) and Shinta (Sinta Nurian-syah). They using “keong racun” song (in English is “Poison Snail”) for their video. This video has been uploaded more than two millions until know and also invite the inspiration for many people. They are become new celebrities in Indonesia. Their story has been spread by television, newspaper and magazine. Their story became the main topic of the media as a new trend. Now, they hunted by netter, entertainment business, online and offline media. They got many interview by television and print media. I heard Jojo and Shinta get free scholarships from their college and made them as the icon. You can see the video of Jojo and Shinta below.
This video has been viewed two millions people
Become famous is like a big dream for many people. They will do anything to be a success and become a superstar. Actually Jojo and Shinta upload their video for fun. They never thought that their action on You Tube got many attentions by millions people, including me…hahaha. Many people talked about them. There is a good question from my friend. Do I become famous like them if I upload my video on You Tube? But above all, the most important factor is the luck factor. After all, there are hundreds (even more) lipsync videos on YouTube, it was uploaded by pretty girls. Even many of those who can sing with good voice. But if the luck factor in their hand, I believe they’ll become famous.
What it means for us............
Internet: Increasing creativity
Like Jojo and Shinta case, they give motivation to many people. They wouldn’t become new celebrities without internet technology and they combine with unique creativity. Normally, a singer has to pass various processes before they called the real singer. a singer will be famous after passing the selection, recording in the studio, supported by producers, sophisticated recording equipment, a large financial and so on. Actually Jojo and Shinta didn’t have sophisticated recording equipment, a complicated arrangement of light, a reliable cameraman. They only have a laptop camera, as was said in various media. With simple tool they recorded the songs and their actions. Singing in front of the laptop cameras and produce a video with duration around 5 minutes 14 seconds, it directly uploaded on You Tube. Actually the first purpose is for the private collection. But they have a great idea to put their video on You Tube.
Famous and hunted by media
What do we get from this action? I thought we all agree that we get fame, money and hunted by media. We can't deny about this effect. I have a question, Is this good effect or bad effect? If we want to be famous, I thought this is good effect. I can say that this is the result of fame. I know the success of Jojo and Shinta is not the first time, but good to remind us again about the story of Charice Pempego, Esmee Denters, Andy Mckee, Justin Bieber, Charlie the baby, Momoy palayboy. They become success and famous because of You Tube. I’ll share short story of them below. So, please continue to read………….

Who doesn’t know Justin Bieber? I thought we all know very well who Justin was, right. She is a very talented young boy from Canada who has skill in singing. As a pop singer who has been founded by Scooter Braun from You Tube. Right now, Scooter Broun became Justin manager. Justin known as the only one singer in music history with four single albums at top 40 before he was released his real album. “Baby” is the famous song from Justin.

There is good news, You Tube increases video time limit to 15 minutes. Before this news we only given about 10 minutes. Some people said that 10 minutes is too short.

The reason why You Tube extend their duration in longer time because You Tube developing copyright protection system. So you can be a little flexible in displaying the video on You Tube.

Everybody wants their 15 minutes of fame, so excellent Hub! Sounds like a person could get their own reality show going.
You are so right, prasetio. With the power of You Tube because of the audience it can reach, anyone can be a star. Talent is helpful but not absolutely necessary. Timing and luck are the crucial elements.
Youtube is great! People share how to videos as wel as their talent and spirit. Explore your inner rock star!
I composed my first song with LMMS software. Here's the link. :D

I love the first video. There's a certain magic (energy?) to it that says "this is a winner". I didn't view all of them, but I'm sure if you're an unknown, you have to have that certain something that we can all relate to. Great hub P, thanks!
Wonderful Hub and a great tribute to those who have the talent and the desire to attempt getting noticed. It works as people are looking for raw talent.
Blessings
This is a great hub, and thanks for highlighting some great acts. I have heard of most of them. The two girls from Indonesia are so funny. :)
..well You Tube must be one of the 'wonders' of the modern world - along with your hubs of course - I go there often and it has never let me down yet - I can't stump it - it has everything - literally - well just like your hubs!! And thanks so very much for your valued support and great comments over at my hub - coming from someone like you believe me it's always a thrill!
Hi prasetio30, I think that YouTube is a great medium for talented people to showcase their skills, it gives them an exposure to the world that was not possible before
this is such a great hub, you did such a job here. I must say that I must dance for you here. I learned some things also that I did not know. Thank you so much for this hub! I need to feature it in my next hub. aloha oe :D
Jojo and Shinta video really caught my attention, I am sure it is the same for many other people.
What an interesting topic, another great hub from you !
I am glad that there is another channel to show the talents of artists and they will be able to give the audiences a chance to acknowledge it. As always a well done hub. Congratultion.
It is interesting how many people get discovered on YouTube.
Youtube is pretty good entertainment, many times, but it also has convinced that sometimes, some people can be amused by almost anything out there in cyber land. Good hub.
My Nephew!
I don't see you!
I came here to see Prasetio,
on a youtube video!
---fantastic again! I love them all. I had no idea what the first two were singing but I wanted to move and dance! They were all great! Momoy Palaboy- these folks are wild and funny! Thank you for the best entertainment!
Hi prasetio
Great hub. You Tube is probably one of the easiest ways to try to become famous but for every success there must be thousands of failures.
I prefer my place out of the limelight. Fame comes with a very high pricetag that I'm not prepared to pay even if I could find a way to become famous.
Amber:)
Hi, prasetio, I have seen some of these before on TV there is a special programme about youtube, especially the child biting his brothers finger! it always seems to be shown, really great hub, rated up, I wonder if it would work for me? ha ha cheers nell
If I could just get up enough courage to play my accordion and submit it to youtube, do you think I'd be famous? I'd rather boil myself in oil first to tell the truth....Good post, Prasetio - and it really is true - there are some crazy things out there and youtube is one way of definitely becoming famous!
prasetio, YouTube is an amazing resource available to us all, that makes it so cool. I love you tube and found your discussion on the topic very inspiring. It's great to know people can find their dreams by way of You Tube. Rated Up and All thats good! Peace :)
Prasetio, once again you have shown me something I have never seen... the two boys were so funny! Your right too in that the road to fame has been made much wider and easier to travel thanks to You Tube. Voted up! Thanks bunches for sharing... Hmmm, I wonder if it would not be a great way for an honest wanta be politician to reach voters since, in America, an honest man can't hardly get any media coverage now... just a thought.
Wow you are so right. Why did I not think of this before? Incredible...I even learned of Justin and Charice! Thanks!! I love the video at the end :-)
Yeah, youtube can really be of help to people who aspire to be famous. No wonder almost everyone who wants to have a big name in the industry comes up with distinct videos. It's just one of the advantages offered by the internet.
You-tube is free low tech way of marketing yourself with unlimited potential (just add talent). Great insightful hub Prasetio!
I loved the Charlie bit me video. U tube is a fun place to visit. Great hub.
Cheers, Blessings
Thanks for including Charice Pempengco. I love the little girl and what she did to make the Philippines famous. You make great hubs with lots of lovely pictures and information.
Well researched with good examples. Thanks for another good one.
I did not know it is so easy to upload ‘home made’ video’s. You have given me some ideas. Thanks. Great hub - clearly exposing the thorough research you’ve done. Voted UP!
Great
There's no doubt about it, You-Tube has changed the way people get exposure - for better or worse. LOL
Nice post!!
I had no idea how many people have become famous just by being on Youtube, what an amazing marketing tool. I do enjoy watching the videos occasionally, when I'm not on HP of course. Thanks prasetio, great hub.
Congrats for jojo and shinta. Their case remind me something 'when you do your job heartfully , the results will follow you'.Thank u for sharing.
Very useful and so true! That's how Susan Boyle gained world wide recognition through You tube even though she appeared on Britain's Got Talent
Youtube is a very good place to showcase one's talents. Very informative hub prasetio30
I really enjoyed this Hub, though I doubt I will ever use You Tube to try to find fame! LOL!
Thanks again.
Love and peace
Tony
Amber Allen is so right about "pricetag" if you're not a balanced person...this celebrity can ruin your life.
I have so many times that I want to put something on youtube, but never get around to it. You have inspired me.
I have a few videos. YouTube is big. It has made many people famous.
I didn't understand a word Jojo and Shinta said and enjoyed them sooooo much! Great hub and food for thought. Thank you!
Polly
I watch something on YouTube every day. It is quite the phenomenon. Thank you for this fine Hub.
The Youtube phenomenon is really there come to think of it. One may become famous all of a sudden while they have a great music video upload or something. There are many upcoming stars arising from the youtube culture and I'm not surprised if the phenomenon increases in future. Hub up prasetio.;)
I like the two girls singing on the Video, they were cute and decent. I use Youtube as well. GREAT Hub!!!
Haha, love this hub too. I have seen most of these videos before but they are just as funny as the first!
thanks for another entertaining hub prasetio
I think it is great that the music industry views You Tube to discover talent. Justin Bieber has a great voice and I believe is worthy of discovery to be famous because of his singing talent. For all of those who make it, congratulations. I have viewed some on You Tube who have not made it to celebrity status yet, but I hope they do. Voted/rated.
Prasetio I created a Youtube account for my adorable dog Peso, it became a hobby making a mini movie staring my dog and he is very clever, I think I made about 21 video if you want you can check it out too Peso7272k
Thanks that's a good idea prasetio I will try one of these days, I am having a hardtime uploading photo here at HP using my laptop computer, but you are right it would be great to add those videos in hub, by the way I saw the listings of your hubs you are amazing really... plenty of them almost with a high score...
Thanks that's good idea..
Why youtube partnership not available in India..?
Any Idea about this..?
I like Justin Beiber's voice. Really sweet. And Charice definitely can sing. Moymoy Falaboy really hillarious. Most of these people really have talent but I think Shinta and Jojo is more lucky. All they did is act cute and people love them. If God want something, anything can happen, right. :)
Well done, Pras. Cute Hub. ^_^
Another great place to promote yourself is http://www.makeastar.com/. It's a contest where people vote on your singing after you upload a video of yourself.. and SOO many people see it. Plus if you win there is TOTAL notoriety and cash awards of course. It really is the next American Idol destination!!!
