Hooray for Youtube Celebrities

3 of my favourite ladies of the moment, namely Yuna, Zee Avi and Hunny Madu. Dont you just love the wonders of Youtube and its capability of showcasing works by the unknown? These days, almost anyone can afford a webcam (even the ugly ones)(i was referring to myself, jangan terasa eh?). And almost everyone is within reach of the internet. So it is really that simple. Pick up a guitar, steal some chords (that others have painstakingly try to find by themselves so as to satisfy your "cover"-ing needs) from the net, Google the lyrics to your favourite song and off you go. Special talent is optional. It is really that simple.

But these 3 ladies that ive mentioned; they are truly the saviour to my eardrums and to the future of the internet. They are the perfect epiphany of Asian talent, clearly setting the benchmark and inspiring the new and the eager.





This video is of Yuna's hit single, Yang Sebenarnya. I love her voice. It reminds me of Nora Jones.


Oh oh, you so have to listen to this one. This is another one of Yuna's songs called Rocket.





Im having difficulty trying to find the original video for this song by Zee Avi. Its called Kantoi. The song, im sure you have heard being played repeatedly on the radio (if you havent then i suppose its about time you get out from your tempurung). Dont flame me aight, but honestly i just love her accent. Very cute.


This is a cover that Zee Avi did, in collaboration with a friend, Azwar Rashid.





And lastly, Hunny Madu. You can check out her nonsense, i mean videos here. Though its very, very hard to see, underneath all the craziness, lies talent. Her voice never fails to have some effect on my bulu romer... roma.. roma irama, whatever. I like her voice, its nice.





So there you have it. Talent at its purest. I'm just glad that there are real talent coming from Youtube or from the internet for that matter; being showcased and made known to the public and getting the recognition that they truly deserve. Eat that Ashley Simpson, Paris Hilton, Britne.... ok i'll stop. But whatever it is, im just happy for these 3 and i sincerely hope that they will go far. All the best.









PS: Since we're in the topic of talent and all, how could i possibly leave out my own friend right? This is a video of Wan Tabr, in his fullest glory of merepekness. I hate to admit it, but i love this video. Enjoy
