YouTube is a Democratic Star Maker.  If the people respond to what you put out there, good things will happen.

And if you want to see them in person, enter a comment below telling everyone what your favorite YouTube is and I'll pick a random winner.  That's right, tell me you love Double Rainbow Guy, or EHarmony Cat Lady or my new favorite. . . Greyson Chance singing Papparazzi and you'll be entered to win 2 tickets to Voca People.

      Oh my, my favorite goes way, way back! It is the Leader of the Pack video from What’s My Line with Robert Goulet dressed all in black on a motor cycle while the Shangra Las sang their hit song.

      I’ve been watching “The Battery’s Down” since it premiered, and have turned many others onto it. I like that it continues the outrageous musical storyline from month to month, and miss it when it takes a sabbatical.. So many Broadway stars have made cameos, often times spoofing their own images. And it’s also a great forum for both established and up-and-coming composers.

      My favorite ever youtube video is of my friend’s proposal video. He wrote and produced a twenty minute musical in order to propose to his girlfriend. Absolutely amazing. Oh, and she said yes. Please check them out.

      There aren’t enough words to describe how great this truly was.

    9. Jordan Levine says:

      The sexy saxman video is one definitely worth watching!
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaoLU6zKaws

    10. This is a toughie, but I would have to say that the video that has stood the test of time so far for me is Precious Taft’s performance on the 1980s cable access program “Stairway To Stardom”
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57J_AyfEM24
      Of all the stairway videos, this is my favorite, but if you’ve got the time, you should watch all of them….A. MAZE. ING.

      The dance group ‘Diversity’ that won Britain’s Got Talent 2009 has one of my favorite clips on youtube. Their creativity is just incredible.

    12. Joyce Joseph says:

      I like the dog dancing to salsa music!

    13. Alan says:

      My favorite You Tube Video is ELVIS live at Madison Square Garden on June 10,1972.
      That was the only NY appearance that Elvis ever made and he was and still is the most dynamic in person live performer that I have ever seen!
      I only remember the exact date because my oldest son was born exactly one month before the concert. He is now 39 years old.
      The tickets to the Elvis show were $15.00 for the best seats in the house.

    14. Becca S says:

      And I am telling you white girl can blow!!! She’s fierce, and has since made it to Broadway. I aspire to belt like her, and this just makes me happy :)

      Or, if you want something funny, I always love “star wars according to a 3 year old.”

      You can’t beat Alex Goot for sheer talent and creative music from his NY basement. Check him out!!

      Ken,
      I have to say I have truly enjoyed the dumb blond who didn’t know France was a country. And, I’d love to see the Voca People live. Thanks for the guidance your blog provides. Godspell was one of my all time favorites, saw it on Bway on the upper west side many, many years ago and look forward to seeing your production.

      My favorite is the wonderful dance in Zorba the Greek. I show it to my 6th grade students every year.

      babies being squirted with a water bottle and laughing is my new favorite

      Tucker Piano.
      I call him songwriting dog, after all it is an original isn’t it?

      Ever see the commercial for Gary’s Gutters… only got part of it while watching TLC & looked it up for all to enjoy:
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4XpqS4KDbI
      My old love is the commercial for the Grand Prospect Hall…

    25. Jackie says:

      We have always loved the Grand Prospect Hall’s commercial & are THRILLED to share it with you:
      They “make your dreams come true”… with the enthusiasm of a wet washcloth; though I wouldn’t cross them as they might know some people… who know some people & so on…

    26. Hairspray meets Harry Potter in “Good Morning Voldemort!”
      Well done and fun…

    27. Robb J says:

      So many choices already taken . . .
      As much as I would like to pimp my own channel, I will go with a blanket recomendation for anything MuppetsStudio puts out on their channel. Tho Bohemian Rhapsody is their masterpiece I will always come back to their Habanera http://youtu.be/jXKUb5A1auM

    28. Shira says:

      Marcel the Shell. Definitely!

    29. Kimberly says:

      I’m surprised no one has mentioned the Auto-Tune the News canon…
      The Bed Intruder Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHpluwP328A&feature=related) is a classic, but I particularly like the lesser-known Backing Up Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skejhu_NWrg)… never fails to make me laugh.

      The Bed Intruder Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHpluwP328A&feature=related) is a classic, but there’s a special place in my heart for the lady in the lesser-known Backing Up song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhvLFM9ngU4&feature=related)… never fails to make me laugh.
