Have you ever wondered how the site YouTube can make the average person famous? It just takes an interesting video and an audience to watch it. There are channels for music videos, channels for the news and others just for personal use.
The idea of YouTube phenomena makes web-celebrities hungry for more and they show up on local and cable television to promote their videos and related products. Sometimes these videos are composed by a third party. A popular video like this is features Antoine Dodson as he “sings” to “hide your kids and wife” from the dangers of the neighborhood. Yet, can we consider him the web-celeb? He didn’t create the popular song by himself; another YouTube user took his words and made it into a song. What I want to know is, why is he showing up on television shows and on Iphone Apps and not the creative geniuses who made the rant so popular? Shouldn’t they be given some credit as well?
The creators of Antoine Dodson’s song have created another song. I think it is better than the first. Do you think that this woman will become famous too?
