Jordin Sparks back on American Idol
Jordin Sparks, who recently debuted a newly pierced nose, was the youngest ‘American Idol‘ winner ever when she took the prize and nabbed the crown back in Season 6. Since then, she has enjoyed a healthy measure of post-’Idol’ success as a pop star. Tonight, she sauntered back onto the stage to perform her new single, the decidedly grown up nice and breezy ‘Double Tap.’ 2 Chainz was there to dazzle it up too.It marks a very good start for Jordin. The stage welcomes her back from her 2012 performance.Her new single performed is titled "Double Tap". ‘Double Tap’ runs off a smoothe upbeat tempo, and could very well be this year’s "Catchy Single" like 'Call Me Maybe' Sparks was natural and respected lady, flirting with her back up dancers and leading them on just to tell them " you gotta let me know that you wont double tap that...."
Wearing a silver diamond laced dress and black heels, with her hair flat ironed with a light purple high lights that blended in , Sparks was every thing a man could want. Wow, has she grown up a lot in the past few years! Of course, Sparks eventually danced and did her thing while still singing amazingly to show off the her voice that she have been perfecting in almost 3 years. She did not let her vocals go while dancing. She was on point with everything so that she can make it look great. 2 Chainz even looked amazing with 2 gold chains and dressed in all white.
"Double Tap" received a positive reception from most music critics, who complimented its differences with any of Sparks' previous singles, as well as noting her new change in words to show that she grown up. Jordin Sparks made it clear that she wants an honest man and you to double tap her on instagram. After performing, Jordin tweeted, "Feels so good to have my makeup off and climb into bed. Exhausted. Thanks 4 tuning in tonight! I cant do it w/o you! Goodnight twittlets. <3" She pulled in many viewers and got her name to trend on Twitter and Facebook. Many loved her performance tonight
You can pick up "Double Tap" right now on iTunes."Double Tap" is also featured on Sparks' upcoming album Right Here,Right Now which the 25-year-old described as a record with a new sound.

Selena Gomez At The British Fashion Awards
Selena Gomez made an appearance at the British Fashion Awards in London at the London Coliseum. She walked the red carpet, presented and performed in the ceremony. She presented her good friend Olivier Rousteing with the ‘International Designer of the Year’ award. She said of Olivier “This next award goes to someone who in the last few years, has become one of the most recognizable and visible designers in the industry. He has a vision that is fresh and aside from fashion, a personality out of this world. Please give it up for our friend, Olivier”. That was only one of two awards the music icon presented last night. She also presented Victoria Beckham with Brand of the Year. She said of Victoria “Tonight, Brand of the Year goes to someone who has over the years completely transformed and molded themselves into one of the most important names in fashion. This person had a quite different career before becoming a designer and business woman, and took all the steps necessary to become taking seriously in the fashion industry. She serves as a personl inspiration to me and millions of others. Please welcome, the iconic… Mrs. Victoria Beckham.” She sat with model friends Chanel Iman, Ines Rau, Gigi Hadid (daughter of Yolanda Hadid) and Kendall Jenner to her left, and Karl Lagerfeld of Chanel (who she has an international campaign with to be the face and brand ambassador of the fashion empire) to her right. She wore a purple halter dress that showed just the right amount of breasts and went down to her ankles with matching heels, both courtesy of Chanel. The color perfectly partnered with the recent tan skin and wavy middle part Selea has been wearing lately. As for jewelry, she wore a diamond encrusted bracelet, silver rings with three square diamonds embedded into them, and of course, diamond earrings to match. All of her jewelry was custom Harry Winston. Critics hailed her look with lines like “Selena does simple & sexy right.” “Selena Gomez’s recent fashion reign continues to WOW”. Vogue.com wrote “Selena Gomez was not a nomiee at the British Fashion Awards but somehow still manged to be a winner.” Vogue UK listed her as one of the best dressed of the night and Harper’s Bazaar listed her as the best dressed, hands down. This does down as one of Selena’s most acclaimed looks yet. Later in the night, the star took to the stage to perform her single ‘What You See’. She was the only performer of the night and received a roaring applause from the audience. Her vocals and stage presence were praised and called “enticing” and “enthusiastic” by several publications. Selena was later spotted hanging out with Olivier Rousteing, Chanel Iman, and Gigi Hadid at an after party, held at a beach side hotel.

NYCGO.COM CENTRAL PARK TELEVISED CONCERT
 
AIRED ON NBC
Taylor Swift was named the welcome ambassador for New York City by nycgo.com earlier last year and has already did a spectacular job doing her part as the ambassador. Already the singer-songwriter has filmed numerous videos for the touring agency and is currently taking part in a documentary in the city that never sleeps about the city itself. Asked about the documentary in an interview earlier this week, there singer-songwriter was nothing but smiles while talking about the city.
“New York City is such a place of variety. Everywhere around you, you can draw inspiration. From the worst parts to the best parts, it’s all there, there for you to draw inspiration from. In it’s glamour and ugliness, you can create something out of it. It’s inspired much of my last albums, actually. New York City along with Paris I think are the most inspiring cities in the world. Everyone’s so different, you never meet a person who’s exactly the same as the person you’ve met before. It’s a nice change from other cities where everyone seems to share the same outlook or opinion on something. Here people are too busy with what’s going on in their lives to worry about what’s going on in yours and it’s a wonderful thing. I absolutely love it.”
“The documentary I’m working on with nycgo.com is basically about the journey I’ve had recording my new album entitled,'Young Heartache', here. Unlike 'Electric Princess' which was recorded entirely in Paris, I recorded all of it here in New York City. In every different studio I could find, in all parts. And I’m going to take you with me as I record it and everywhere I go while in New York City. We’ll also be going to some great landmarks and visiting different places. I think it’s going to be really fun and it’ll give everyone insight into my life and others’ too in the city. It’ll be a really good experience I think. Hopefully it convinces people to visit the city even more than they do now because it’s a really beautiful, magical, yet ruthless city. It’s thrilling.”
But the most recent thing Taylor Swift has done with NYC GO and being their ambassador is host a free concert in Central Park. The park was free to the citizens of New York Citizen and any visitors who happened to be visiting. The concert was announced earlier this week on Taylor’s twitter and also on nycgo’s website. “It’s going to be really damn fun and exciting, I think. Hopefully, the turnout is massive and the crowd’s amazing because I’ve got an amazing show for them. Here’s to wishful thinking.”
The stage would be setup in Central Park twelve hours before the show would go on, revealing to the audience who showed up twelve hours later a massive stage with a massive catwalk that stretched over one hundred yards. Huge screen monitors were placed in the air behind the singer as well under the stage where LED lights were instead of the monitors. Crew was seen testing the stage hours before the concert would start.
The concert would start at 7PM. There was the soft playing of a synthesizer taking over the speakers as the audience roared, a video montage playing of New York City in different areas playing (Statue of Liberty, Manhattan Island, Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State, etc). Eventually, we go to a Tribeca street with a limo as the roof opens, revealing Taylor in a cute high fashion outfit with some pink lipstick, looking out at the city with her hands up. Eventually, a cute little font appears on the screen with “Welcome to New York” on it.
The stage would then light up massively with footage of New York City, Taylor appearing after a pink light appears on stage, Taylor wearing an all white outfit with some soft pink colored heels, a hue that matched her lips. She would single ‘Welcome to New York’ a song off her album '1989' before performing a twenty song setlist to the crowd of over 1,000,000 people, making it he highest attended concert in Central Park ever.
Taylor’s first ever greatest hits album entitled ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ is out now, along with her promotional singles and single. Make sure to get your copy now.

GOOD MORNING AMERICA CONCERT
 
Taylor Swift kicked off the promotional campaign for her newly released and first ever greatest hits album, entitled ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ today in New York City by appearing on the American television program Good Morning America. As apart of their winter concert series, Taylor would perform four songs for the morning television show and would give them an extensive interview that would shed let on the music and other things that involve Taylor Swift.
The singer and songwriter would come to Good Morning America studios after shortly leaving her Tribeca apartment, wearing a black leather jacket with some black leggings, and a pair of leather booties to top the outfit off. She looked stylish, very chic and appeared to be in a rush as she was seen almost strutting out of her building and into a suburban before speeding away. Those waiting outside were dazed and confused but her security guards assured them that she’d be able to greet them when she’d return to her apartment in a few hours.
Taylor was welcomed to the program about an hour into the program, first being seen after there was a commercial where Robin Williams would tell the audience and viewers that after the break Taylor Swift would be joining them. Tweets of excitement and cheers from inside the studio came about as they awaited the singer’s appearance on the show. Just a few minutes later they’d get it as Taylor would come out wearing a gorgeous black dress with a pair of stockings and high heel booties, serving Madison Montgomery Seven Wonders teas as she strutted out of her entrance door, looking vicious.
“You look absolutely wonderful, Taylor” Robin told Taylor who returned the favor after a thank you. Soon after that the interview would begin, the first question being how Taylor felt about having new material out after months of absence. “It’s an unreal feeling. I never feel like myself unless I have something out there for the fans to enjoy. It’s part of the reason why when I’m recorded my albums, I feel so excited yet so impatient to get it out. If I had it my way with no one to stop me I’m pretty sure I’d be releasing a song as soon as I finish it instead of full albums. I couldn’t do what other artists are doing, waiting like a whole year to release albums. Like Eric, I couldn’t do what he’s doing.”
The next question involved the new tracks on the record, when asked what the songs meant to her, Swift gushed. “The songs, the new songs on the record are songs that are very dear to me. They’re some of my most personal songs to date and they were all written solely by me, minus one cover. They’re songs that I consider to be some of my most personal and because of the title of the album, I think they were completely suitable. They’re songs that are very dear to me.”
When asked about her cover of Tom Waits ‘Hold On’ the atmosphere changed as Taylor took on a more serious approach. “It’s a song I heard a lot when I was growing up. I didn’t really know what it meant seriously until the past few years and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to create this greatest hits record if it wasn’t on there. It’s one of my favorite songs of all time.”
Another music related thing Swift talked about in her interview on Good Morning America was her world tour, the ‘Forever Yours World Tour’. When asked about how the tour which kicks off tomorrow will be, Swift was very cage. “I don’t want to spoil the surprise but expect a lot of pyro stuff and huge monitors and screens. Everything’s really really big. From the production, to the stage, to the stage outfits. It’s basically the tour I’ve dreamed of. I mean that I dreamed of in my wildest dreams if you get what I mean.”
When talking about the promotional singles, Taylor grinned. “The promotional singles are some of the songs I randomly chose to promote. I have no idea why I picked them I think I was just bored or entirely too jet lagged when they called and asked me to choose. So for all the fans who hate the promotional singles, I’m sorry. Blame my busy ass schedule along with me.”
The last thing Taylor addressed in the interview was her relationship status. “I’m still single. It’s taking awhile to get myself back on my feet. It’s hard for me to really think back on what me and Simon had but I’m trying to handle it differently. I’m putting all the pain into my music but I’m putting the happiness and hope in there too. I want him to be happy and he wants me to be happy. I’ll always love him and if he’s ever not happy I’ll be here for him. I love him. I always will. He feels the same.”
Taylor would then proceed to perform the promotional singles ‘Lipstick on His Collar’, ‘Harvard Smiles’, ‘Style’, and ‘Too Good To Lose’ on the stage, serving vocals and energy as she performed most of the upbeat songs sans Too Good To Lose with a few minor dance moves. The promotion did much for the album, securing it’s place at number one with her friend Justin bieber right under her at number two with his greatest hits album which she features on. ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ is out now for purchase on iTunes digitally and Target physically.

The album will be dropping tomorrow but I wanted to make this pre-order available just so you know it’s ready and for your thirst to quench, even if just for a bit. But before I unveil the new album details, I want to thank each and every one of you that went out and bought my single “Coven de Couture”, it means the world to me and I’m genuinely grateful for all the love and support that you have shown me. We are currently at #7 on the chart and the single sold almost 400,000 copies…it’s mind blowing so once again, thank you. Now onto the business of the day and what you have all been waiting for, the reveal.

So now without further ado, here is what you are waiting for.
So as you can see, it’s a new era. The album is titled “The Definition of Bad” and it actually took me and my team some time to come up with a name we really liked. We were this close with going with the title, “What Happiness feels Like” but then, this title came along and it was just an instant fit. I can’t wait for you all to dive into the record and hear what I’ve been hearing for so many nights.
Here is the tracklist for you all who can’t load the image.

TAYLOR SWIFT X THE VOICE
Taylor Swift was live on The Voice tonight where she would give a performance of a medley of songs from her album ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ which was released earlier, Saturday morning to be exact. The singer-songwriter spoke about the album in an interview with NBC about the process of making the record and how her promotional campaign for the album will unfold. “Recording and making this album has been an entirely different experience than the ones before. It didn’t really involve as much energy and time as the others did but it still really called for me to be creative. I had more input in what went on the album, what the design for the singles and the album would be like, and really planning out the promotion. That right there involved far more effort and attention from be as if I’d recorded a whole new entire album so. That was nice.”
“The promotional campaign for this album will be a little bigger than the rest. We went with an earlier release to really just get it out there for the fans to buy and also to really just get in as much sales we could for the album. But it’s never really just about sales to me. If I want you to spend money on something of mine it’s going to be of quality. It’s no different with this album. It’s fair priced for it’s containments so I think fans will have no problem spending their money on it. Everything on there is from the heart and has some really intimate stuff.” Taylor said this backstage in an interview with NBC while she was waiting to go on stage on The Voice. “Really this album is just for the fans and for me to really appreciate and reflect on the amazing experiences I’ve had in the highs of my career thus far. It’s all really just an appreciation record.”
Ten or so minute later Taylor would be introduced to the stage by the host Carson Daly, former TRL host. “Everyone welcome the biggest female force in music today, she’s a multi-platinum recording artist, winner of seven GRAMMY awards, and the best selling female artist of the decade. Everyone please welcome performing a medley from her brand new album ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’, Taylor Swift!” Taylor would then proceed to open up her performance with one of her former number one hits, ‘Loverboy’. The singer would appear stepping out a pink glass box/case things, smoke rolling out when open, Taylor decked out in black sequined crop top with some match pants that had a strip of gray sequins running along the side. She would include some subtle yet effective choreography before she’d move into the next song.
The next song was ‘Lipstick on His Collar’, an urban like beat hitting the studio, similar to Swift’s former hit ‘Blank Space’. She’d place her hand on her hip as she’d serve vocals on the song. “You might think you have him now but girl you’re not the one just one of, cause when you’re taking his clothes off, you better know I’ve left my mark, burning bright red, my lipstick is on his collar.” Swift’s vocals would serve a bit of a Christina tea, serving some major ad-libs before she’d go into ‘Harvard Smiles’.
‘Harvard Smiles’ would bring some applause, Taylor smiling as the stage slightly changed in lighting, an acoustic production hitting as Taylor would sing the song for a minute or so before she’d head into the next song. Her vocals were strong and she would navigate around the stage far more than she had with the other channels. “Constantly being dragged in my boys not worth my while but plagued with Harvard Smiles.”
The final song of the medley would be ‘Style’, Taylor’s number one hit which went number one this week becoming her ninth overall number one and her fourteenth top three hit. The song would slow a bit as the whole stage would glow pink, Taylor’s silhouette appearing in a glass box, her leaning seductively and posting in a sexy manner as the guitar riff floated throughout the performance. She’s perform the entire song sans the second verse, serving vocals and fashion, the audience singing loudly with her, an abnormally for The Voice audience. Swift’s first ever greatest hits album, ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ is out now.

The X Factor UK Final Medley
600 Words
Her album was just released today and so far the day has been exhausting for Cara: She's been all over France's media, due to a Stade De France concert which was live streamed and broadcasted on TV, and appearances on Le Grand Journal and NRJ. After taking a 30 minutes long trip from Paris to London by private jet and getting a launch, Cara went on to her next promotional spot of the day: The X Factor UK. The biggest and most watched edition of the TV competition 'The X Factor' invited Cara Delevingne 2 weeks ago but the performance was only announced last week which made fans create hype about it all over social media due to their excitement.
Cara's fans waited outside the X Factor UK studios causing a few traffic issues but security ended up managing to push them far back enough. Cara arrived in her regular black SUV wearing a white tuxedo top which was closed but still revealed some skin along with a light red leotard underneath it and black boots, she looked amazing and ready to have a party. After posing with the fans for some time Cara finally went into the studio. While during the performances one of the competitors sang 'Magazine' (and later managed to win the competition) the real event was obviously Cara's performance, which closed off the show and the competition. The performance was a 15 minutes medley of all 16 songs on the album, at least the standard edition of it.
The songs performed were in their order on the album's tracklist. The performance started with 'Kiss To My heart', which Cara sang while wearing a long black catsuit with a red heart made out of crystals on hthe bvreast part of the catsuit. Cara sang the pop song's lyrics while dancing within a black giant sized cage, a little bit like Miley Cyrus' Can't Be Tamed music video. Right when she 'breaks' some of the bars, Cara walks out, while two dancers appear on stage, the performance follows with Eat Me Up, a pop sex songs which features electronica influences which made the crowd get up and dance. When the third track started Cara sat down on a majestic silver thrones at the center and sang the medium-tempo title track, song which is often compared to Tove Lo's Habits but in less bittersweet. 'Behind Closed doors' was more shortened then other songs having only about 20 seconds of performance of it. Then started the more urban tracks with 'Corset' yet another sex song about how slowly Cara's lover is taking her corset off. The promotional single 'Honey' was performed within a whole minute during which Cara was lying down on a luxurious ancient Greece inspired long chair, while her dancers were sowly removing her catsuit revealing a golden Alexander McQueen bikini. After a few more songs, Cara Delevingne started a performance of 'Fall Out' which features Jay-Z who filmed himself rapping he's verse on the song, the video being projected during the performance at the X Factor UK. 4 more shortened songs followed before Cara sang a 2 minutes long version of her single 'La Belle' which managed to reach the second spot on the charts selling nearly 450 thousand copies worldwide within the first week. The rap performance was accompanied by an impressive choreography centering around the lounge chair used during 'Honey'.
The performance helped push Cara's brand new album's sales, which was already #1 ever since it's release. Cara Delevingne was seen leaving the X Factor Studios wearing a burberry coat and a black simple dress.

Jordin Sparks performed at Michelle Obama 50th Pre-Bday bash!
 Jordin Sparks had a chance to perform at the White House. She performed both new and old material. She started off by singing slow ballads. Then eventually got to the faster up beat songs like SOS and Is This Love. Sparks also premiered a new song titled "More Than Happy" a nice R&B/Pop track and "Double Tap", the smooth song that is slowly taking over our hearts.
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson was born on January 17, 1964, in Chicago, Illinois.Michelle grew up in a two-story house on Euclid Street in Chicago's South Shore community area. Her parents rented a small apartment on the house's second floor from her great-aunt, who lived downstairs. She was raised in what she describes as a "conventional" home, with "the mother at home, the father works, you have dinner around the table." Now she is soon to be 50, half a century. Standing next to Jordin Sparks who is 25 who is half her age and quarter of a century.
Jordin described her experience at the white house as "relaxing" and "nerve-wrecking" at the same time."For some of the songs was a great run through but only one that was rough was Double Tap because of "hoe" and she has two beautiful young daughters" Sparks carried herself with respect when she performs so she had to make sure all her gestures were correct. More Than Happy had the White House jumping and Sasha described it as her new favorite song of all time.
Jordin Sparks exclusively gave all the guests a coupon to digital outlets that lets them buy "Double Tap" and get her song "It Aint You" for free. She met with some of her fans too and took some pictures and did silly poses. Even Michelle herself rocked out a that said "Double Tap that Jor". Jor being short for Jordin. Sparks is proud that she had another moment to perform at the White House.
Later that night Sparks and the Obama family and the Vice President sat down for a nice healthy meal. Jordin herself is known for her weight loss and her fitness skills recently so she had to enjoy the food. Barack also gifted Jordin with a red, white and blue, gold plated pendant. He did that because it was not her first and definitely not her last time performing in the White House

Azealia on The Voice UK Draws Controversy

Barbie Meets Up With YouTube for a Special Video
Interviewer: What inspired your single Tech Freak?
Barbie: I just wanted to do a fun and sexy song. I think that it is okay to show off your sexy side, and that is what I did in this song. I mean...you would know that I think it’s okay if you’ve already seen some of my photoshoots. *laughs*
Interviewer: Some people are saying that the lyrical content of the song is not very good, what do you have to say about that?
Barbie: Well, I didn’t write the song. Rogue wrote it, and he also produced the track. He isn’t a songwriter primarily, so of course it’s not going to be the Grammy-worthy song some people may have expected. Sorry, not sorry. But anyways, Rogue is a great producer and the lyrics are fine for what I was going for. I wanted the song to be simple, catchy, and easy to sing-a-long to. He achieved that.
Interviewer: Can you reveal the name of your album yet?
Barbie: I can’t reveal a lot yet, but I can say that I already know the second single from the album. It’s called Warpaint, and it’s a ballad. I can’t say who it was written by or produced by yet, it’s a surprise I suppose.
Interviewer: If you could remix Tech Freak with any artist, who would it be?
Barbie: Nobody currently. Just dance remixes for now.
Interviewer: Thoughts on your vocals being compared to the vocals of Britney Spears?
Barbie: Well, Britney arguably isn’t an amazing vocalist. I’m not the best either but for simple songs like this I’m good. I wouldn’t be surprised if Warpaint was compared to Perfume.
Interviewer: With a song as ***-driven as this, controversy is inevitable. The public thinks the song is about a sexual relationship with some sort of robot. Your response to that?
Barbie: Um…no it’s not. *laughs* it’s about a human. I don’t have a thing for robots, like most normal human beings.
After the interview, Barbie performs an acoustic version of Tech Freak. The performance is in a field, and it’s a sunny day. Barbie sits in a stool and the band behind her begins playing the acoustic version of the track. Barbie brings the mic to her face an sings the first verses, making eye contact with the camera each word. Barbie stands up to sing the chorus, and sits back down for every other part of the song. After performing Tech Freak, she performs an acoustic cover of Toxic. She stands throughout the whole performance rather than sitting. While performing the song, she does gestures with her hands and dances.
After that, they get back to interviewing.
Interviewer: That was a great performance! Do you think people will think differently of you now?
Barbie: I hope so.
Interviewer: Tell me more about your career in WWE, how did you get started?
Barbie: Well, in 2006 John Laurinaitis was interested in signing me to a contract. WWE contacted my modeling agency invited me to their developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling. I had no wrestling experience beforehand, but I was still offered a contract. Eventually I debuted on the ECW brand as Kelly Kelly. I was the youngest Diva on the roster, so everything was kind of strange. As my debut, I was introduced by performing a striptease for the ECW crowd. Later in my career, everything paid off because I became champion. WWE was a good experience.
The video was uploaded to the “YouTube Spotlight” channel. The performance has reached over 2 million views within the first 5 hours of it being uploaded, and most commenters are impressed with how good her voice sounded with the track being toned down and hope she releases an acoustic single of some sort. The video has a lot more likes than dislikes as well. Overall, the interview and performance were both successes, but that is just the beginning for Barbie. The YouTube logo also has an 8-bit version of Barbie next to it, and clicking it leads to the link to her single. Ads also promote the single.

Barbie Performs in the Streets of Seattle
-Toxic-
-Tech Freak-
-Untitled Song-
-Warpaint (currently unreleased)-
-Acoustic version of Tech Freak-
The performance of Toxic: Barbie has two male backup dancers behind her, they dance while Barbie walks around the stage, she makes eye contact with the men watching.
The performance of Tech Freak: The lights on the stage flicker, after that the beat starts. Barbie does a sexual chair dance throughout the song. After the song is over, the beat continues and the two male dancers get back on the stage, and grope Barbie. It starts to rain, but it matches perfectly with the sexual things that are occurring.
If you are watching the video online, an ad promoting Tech Freak plays. The ad shows clips of the performance, and then shows the single cover and says to buy the song on iTunes.
Untitled Song: When the ad is over, an unfamiliar beat starts playing. It’s an unreleased song from Barbie’s album that nobody currently knows the name of. The song is a bubblegum pop song about a night out with your best friends…until near the end. Near the end, the song almost completely changes genres. Barbie sings about being murdered by her friends, with opera background vocals.
The same ad plays.
The performance of Warpaint: Barbie sits in a stool with a mic to sing the unreleased ballad from her album. The only instrumentals of this song is an acoustic guitar, with subtle dance beats. The song is about pretending to be happy, and putting on a fake smile. The fake smile is described as warpaint. She is able to connect with the crowd on a personal level.
Acoustic version of Tech Freak:
“Since everybody watched my recent video sponsored by YouTube enjoyed this version of my single, I will perform it for you all.” Barbie says to the crowd.
Barbie is still sitting in the stool, and wows the crowd with her soft but beautiful vocals. She makes eye contact with the camera, just like she did in the previous YouTube video. She dances while sitting in the stool and the crowd is into the song.
“Thank you guys for stopping to watch me! My name is Barbie Blank, if you didn’t know. That song is available on iTunes.”
After performing, Barbie takes questions from the people watching her. Most of the questions are about the original songs she performed, and she answers all the questions her label, Tinted Lips, would allow her to. She answers questions about her personal life as well, including questions about her love life. Overall, Barbie performance and chat with pedestrians was a success. The video went viral, most people are interested in this new artist. They are amazed somebody so early in their music career could have so much stage presence. The video has gained 5 million views in 12 hours, and commenters said they were definitely going to buy her single. YouTube helps promote the video as well.
