All is not well in YouTubeland although YouTube has just celebrated it’s 5 anniversary.
First let us go to the best and beautiful happening in YouTubeland like my own story of filming Jazz Legend Giuseppi Logan in Tompkins Square Park 2 years and posting on YouTube which radically changed his life. I immediately found a YouTube from a British filmmaker same park almost 50 years earlier with Giuseppi and a little boy with an original GL composition playing in the background. Since my 21 part YouTube documentary Giuseppi has cut a new CD his first since his two successful ones released in 1960’s by ESP records and I help unite Giuseppi Logan with the little boy in the YouTube, Jaee Logan, also a musical genius like his Dad! I suggested Jaee Logan make a documentary and he is. I also told him “Hollywood movie” and a book along the lines of The Soloist with charities as well. That is part of my dream...
This is different than the Susan Boyle syndrome where a tv program and YouTube combined created a big income earning for Boyle and she doesn’t seem able to cope with fame.
I also bought a single of Boyle’s from ITunes and I ended up deleting it because it fell flat.
This young man is articulate and winning as highlighted in his Ellen interview. Lady Gaga calls in and gives him advice.
This maybe the first a mega hit YouTube star born in YouTubeland with no help from American Idol, Simon Cowell....a pure YouTube hit.
There is a dark side to YouTubeland and I have more to tell you on the dark, dark side but tune in later, may be much later!
