This decade has been full of youtube sensations. It has become a social device and some what of a routine form of entertainment. People have made millions and probably soon to be billions from hosting their videos online. Remember acts like Justin Bieber displaying his musical talents for the worlds entertainment, well acts like this aren't apart of the most watched videos on youtube. More relevant is the new "youtube sensation" Antoine Dodson. Here's what I copied from WikiPedia:
Kevin Antoine Dodson[1] (born June 27, 1986)[2] is a former resident of the Lincoln Park housing project in Huntsville, Alabama, whose interview on local television became an Internet sensation and resulted in an Auto-Tuned song with The Gregory Brothers that "has sold thousands of copies on iTunes and appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 list".[3] The interview that propelled Dodson into fame was prompted by the report of a house intrusion and attempted rape of his sister, Kelly Dodson.
Ok so basically this guy got famous because he had a speech impediment and was interviewed cause his sister almost got raped. He is in the lime life only because we are making fun of him. Honestly can he even comprehend why he has reached this success. People invite him on talkshows ask him to party all just to poke fun at social american defects. Its sad and I honestly feel bad for the kid. So is this how you become a star. Is this how I'm gonna meet Kanye? By making fun of myself or doing some stupid charade of behavior that will land me on Tosh.O. Its sad, but honestly I've considered it. My band isn't progressing, my music isn't being heard by vast amounts of people, so do I lower myself and exchange passion for media glory. Nope! But hey I thought about it. So I've come up with this idea to move to New York City after I turn 21, with no money, no home, just my macbook, camera, and guitar. I wanna live on the streets and play for money. I plan on doing this until I get vast recognition, or until I meet Kanye...
