Last weekend a friend introduced me to a YouTube channel that he follows called
Miranda Sings. He played a few of her YouTube videos and I found her super annoying. However, this week I was watching a link to
"Kids React to Scott Sterling" that a fellow media class blogger posted on her webpage and on the side bar was a link to
"Kids React to Miranda Sings" which was followed by a link to
"Miranda Reacts to Kids Reacting to Miranda Sings". This video was followed by links to more videos and as I clicked on one after another/before I realized what was happening, I was sucked in. Now, I don't like every video she posts and yes a lot of it is quite absurd, but I find her generally hilarious and I am all about laughing.
Side-note, watching some of her videos introduced me to a whole world/industry I have heard of but never really paid much attention to, the world/industry of YouTube stars. How bizarre is it that people will post vlogs (video blogs) about their life on the internet and others not only watch them, but follow them! And then, suddenly, posting vlogs about your life becomes your career! It's insane! But, hey, good for them I guess.
Have any of you heard of Miranda Sings? What do you think of her? Also, am I the only who finds herself easily sucked in my funny media...?
Ellen does this to me too...
Videos are addicting! Its funny how just sitting there planning to watch only one video turns into about 20 videos. Ive never quite understood Miranda sings. Ive seen her on Jimmy Fallon and thought she was a little strange but maybe I just need to watch more!
ReplyDeleteI agree, she is quite strange, especially in isolated contexts! But, the more you watch, the funnier she becomes.
