A day on YouTube (انت أنبوبة)

While watching a regular youtube video i found a featured video with the name (Rebecca Black , Friday) and let's go and watch the video then continue our talk.


So that's one of the worst things i ever heard but to be honest i can't get it out of my head but the fact is that thing which is considered one of the worst things i ever heard has 152,815,455  views and the most astonishing number is that it has  2,978,298 dislikes which means the whole world hates the video but that doesn't mean that Rebecca Black is no longer a star she now has a wikipedia page 
 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Black) and if you read on Wikipedia you'll find that the story of Rebecca is weird , somehow her mother paid 4000 $ to make this video.

Now moving on let's go to the Acapella world and watch this video.

So i thought that thing is impossible to do but seems another person knew it was possible meet Alaa Wardi a 24 year old Iranian living in Saudi Arabia who turned out to be a regional star in just 10 days his video uploaded on 17 May 20111 featuring Nancy Agram song getting 400 thousand views.

Quoting from his interview on Filgoal magazine.


"وتابع وسط ضحكات تخللت كلماته عبر المكالمة التي استمرت قرابة نصف ساعة "لم أكن معروفا قبل أسبوع، ولكن الآن صار هناك أكثر من 6000 معجب على صفحة Facebook الخاصة بي، كما لم يعد بإمكاني قبول طلبات صداقة جديدة بسبب الوصول إلى الحد الأقصى، حتى تليفوني لم يتوقف عن الرنين لأنني كنت أضع الرقم على صفحتي، ما جعلني أتلقى مكالمات من دول مختلفة".


And now at this stage of human history it can take just few mouse clicks to be someone entirely different no wonder a nation made its revolution using social media platform.
