YouTube Standouts

Everyone here knows that I’m a tad YouTube obsessed.  But I don’t use the popular site like many people do.  Instead of searching for random videos of people falling down (it’s been done), or just viewing the top videos of the week, I actually follow certain people and groups on YouTube.  This gives the site more of a social media feel to it, and for me personally, gives it a bit more meaning.  So who are my own most viewed people?  Well, lucky for you, I’ve made this list (in no particular order).

1.     Nikki Phillipi: Along with her husband, Dan, and adorable dogs, Bowser and Zoe, Nikki’s videos always bring a smile to my face.  She has three channels: a ‘lifestyle’ channel, a vlogging channel, and an advice channel.  Her bubbly personality, and her ability to be completely open and honest about even the toughest topics makes her enjoyable to watch.

2.     Allison Andersen (Amarixe): Allison is first and foremost one of the most talented beauty gurus online today.  Not only are her tutorials creative, and her recommendations honest, her video editing is always extremely well done.  She is definitely someone that I think deserves more credit then she already has.  In addition to her main beauty channel, Allison also has her own vlog channel, where she reviews books, has a ‘tea time’ series, and covers much more.

3.     MeghanRosette: Meghan’s bright, bubbly, and sometimes crazy out-there personality makes you wish she was your best friend.  She holds nothing back, and isn’t afraid to be real on camera and show that she isn’t a perfect human being – a rare quality in the online world.   I love watching her videos because they are diverse, creative, and unique.

4.     Jim Chapman: An absolutely hilarious British man who isn’t afraid to make fun of himself.  I personally love his sense of humor – it is a perfect blend of British and American humor (because yes, there is a difference) – but he never makes the viewer feel overly uncomfortable with how far he takes a joke.  If you’re looking for some off the wall type humor and are in desperate need of a good laugh, check him out.

5.     Kurt Hugo Schneider: An incredibly talented musician, Kurt just seems to be able to do it all.  He can sing, he can play countless instruments, he can edit videos, produce…. What can’t he do?  I was lucky enough to meet him at the last Alex Goot concert that I went to, and he is just as nice in person as he appears to be on camera.
