Top 5 YouTube! Sensations

 YouTube! is a internet place/website where anyone can watch/view, upload and share their videos to millions and millions of people around the world. Almost anything you need is here in this site but most of the time when you like their videos and replay it a couple of times, you can't get rid clicking/hitting the  button. Just be aware that the button you are clicking is much more persuasive than the videos you're watching. Funny but true. :)


Next, let's proceed to the people who are always fired in making their sessions or videos that their fans should love watching/playing it over and over again and before or after their sessions or in a separate video, they love to say "buy our albums.., please do subscribe our channel, etc.", in short these people are called the YouTube! Sensations.


I wonder why they sing much better than some known artists. It was last year I'm fond of listening covers rather than listening to original songs made by known artists.   


I was so mesmerized and inspired by some of the YouTube! Sensations I have chosen because they have lots of talents and used these talents to help other people (particularly those who were affected in some calamities like tsunamis, hurricanes, typhoons and those people who were ill because of cancer, etc.). 


Introducing the Top 5 YouTube Sensations,


5.) Kina Grannis






She is one of the gorgeous girls I've watched in YouTube for a long time and she struck me every time I played her videos and her covers are so sweet and pleasant to the ears. Known for her wonderful voice with her lovely guitar. Her original song "Valentine" and her cover with AJ Rafael's "Two is Better Than One" made my day and these two are in my brain's playlist.  


4.) Gabe Bondoc






Known for his cold and rough but wonderful voice and playing his guitar with ample of chord variations. Because of him, I learned some of his covers with a bit of chord variations, improved plucking and strumming and a lot more. When you watched his videos, he'll gently touches your heart until it pumps out loud shouting for love. His original songs "Gentlemen Don't", "When You Say" and his covers like "Man in the Mirror", "Grenade" and other covers he played with his acoustic guitar made me challenged a bit so that I could play also the guitar yet these songs are also in my brain's playlist. 


3.) Ryan Higa 






Also known as "Niga Higa" in YouTube. Known for his pacute antiques + his epic face + his superb jokes = yes!, that's him. *laugh*


I remember his video "Honk for Japan", too epic but every car's honk cost 1 dollar($) and every 1,000,000 views in his videos cost 600 dollars($) to support and help Japan through their rough times (earthquake and tsunami) and "Dear Ryan" wherein people should ask him a question and he'll make a video not only to answer your question but also to laugh you so hard. Too epic isn't it? And lastly the "Off the Pill" sessions wherein he rants his opinions about some issues, just search it and you'll find and laugh out. 


Those videos made me so very happy every time I'm bored inside my dorm or I'm depressed because I had a low grade in my major subject. "Laughter is the best medicine at all times" ika nga. *laugh-laugh-laugh* :))


2.) Jason Yang




He is a versatile musician but his specialty is to play his violin (silent or acoustic) with a romantic aura that fills in your heart. I am deeply inspired because he started to play his violin since he was a kid that's why he's loyal to it and he played a lot of instruments. His fond of music made him  share his talents by covering some of the greatest songs that are known in the present. 


His covers "OMG by Usher (Violin Cover)", "I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas "Canon in D by Pachelbel" but with a bit of dynamics, "Game of Thrones Theme Song", "Moonlight Sonata with a glimpse of Grenade by Bruno Mars" made me so inspired in playing the violin even the "Wii Tutting Song" has a cover made by him. 


and last but not the least.. 


1.) AJ Rafael






Also a versatile musician but he's more active in playing his piano and composing songs. I guess he's friendly because I saw some of his videos with one of my Top 5 YouTube! Sensations. He and Gabe are Filipino-American musicians, that's why I'm very proud of them because they do stand out for my country and also for their country. I was influenced by him because he do composing songs, making a cover and showing his videos to millions and millions of people but that's not all, he showed his talents and he dedicated it to other people. 


Like his music video "Without You" which he dedicated it to those who fought the worst battle against a life-threatening event, that they should realize the fact of not being alone in their struggles. And he sang "My Soldier" which he dedicated it to those who suffered from the typhoon Ondoy in the Philippines that happened 2 years ago, that they should be strong in times of calamity.


I was so inspired of his songs (not to mention all of them), just listen to his compositions and you'll find it as one of your brain's playlist. I started to hear his songs when I searched his cover with Kat Badar (also a YouTube! Sensation) "Always by Atlantic Starr". 




These are my TOP 5 YOUTUBE! SENSATIONS
