The Best of Luke Conard


For any regular reader of my blog, it's no suprise that I absolutely love pretty much anything and everything Luke Conard.  Not only is he a talented musician, he is a hilarious vlogger, has his own gaming channel on YouTube, and seems to be a very genuine person.  But how many people have actually taken all of raving about him to heart and gone to his channels and checked out his content?  Despite how much I adore this man and his work, not that many people have actually heard of him or the people that he works with, even amongst my close group of friends.  I, for one, would like to change this.  So congratulations lucky readers, you get to experience Luke Conard 101 shall we say, and see what it is that makes this man so great. 

Let's start off with the basics: his various aray of of YouTube channels.
Vlog Channel (Current): http://www.youtube.com/Luke
Luke's Arcade (Video Games): http://www.youtube.com/lukesarcade

In addition to his channels, you can also check out Luke on Facebook and Twitter, both of which are linked on his YouTube channels.  I personally follow Luke on Twitter, and I think you should too.  (and follow me of course!)

And now, because this post is "The Best of Luke Conard," where would I be if I didn't share with you my favorite uploads of his?  So here it is folks!  My favorite videos by Luke!

Music by Luke

Luke Conard and Ryan Seiler - Worth It (original) 
I've mentioned this song in my “Must Watch YouTube Videos" blog post, but it's worth mentioning again because it is one of my favorites, if not my all-time favorite Luke Conard songs.  From the first time I heard this song, I can't go a day without listening to it, and I can't help but grin like a fool whenever I hear it.  Listen to this song and not smile, I dare you.

Next to You - Chris Brown ft. Justin Bieber (Cover by Luke Conard, Alex Goot, and Tiffany Alvord) 
I admit, I've never heard the original of this song, even to this day, and I don't plan to.  I really do love this cover of it, and I don't want to taint my memory of the cover by actually listening to the original.  Plus, I'm really not a Chris Brown fan.

Selena Gomez - Who Says
I absolutely love the fact that Ingrid is in this video and I love her energy in the video!  I think it's great that she gets out of her shell and acts silly with Luke in his music videos and in their vlogs together.  And the song just has such a positive, upbeat energy, who could not love it?

"Someone Like You" - Adele (Cover by Luke Conard, Alex Goot, Chad Sugg)
Maybe it's just me, but I find this version of this song much better than Adele's (insert gasp here).  Go watch it and you may see what I mean.  The few people that I've shown this to, have agreed with me on that though, and have said that it's much less whiney than the original, which is what I like about this cover.  That and the fact that Luke, Alex, and Chad are all just amazing in general. 

Gym Class Heroes: Ass Back Home (Cover by Tiffany Alvord & Luke Conard)
I was one of the first 300 people to see this video (a fact that I proudly tell everyone I know), and it actually wasn't until I heard the original (weeks later, I might add) that I truly appreciated this video.  While I like the original song, I think my fondness of the song comes from the fact that I love this version and it reminds me of it.  I like that fact that this version features both singers more equally than the original, and I like the overall feel of the song better than the original. 

Vlogs and Other Fun by Luke

Luke is a Master Make-Up Artist
I don't know how anyone can watch this and not find it funny.  And there's a video where Ingrid puts makeup on HIM.  What could get better?

Behind the Scenes - For the "Worth It" Music Video
Watch the music video for the song.  Watch the behind the scenes.  Be prepared to laugh your ass off. 

Vlogyear - Nugget the Ragdoll Kitten - Day 59
I admit, I’ve never been much of a cat person, but one of my good friends and future roommate is going to be getting a kitten soon, so I was really excited to see this vlog.  Though my friend won’t be getting a Ragdoll kitten, this vlog got me so excited about the prospect of a kitten!  And Nugget is so adorable!!!

Vlogyear - Embarrassed in front of a GIRL - Day 22
This story is so adorable!  I can’t even count the number of times I ooohed and awed!


So there it is everyone!  If you’ve stuck it out and read all of this and actually watched all of these videos then congrats – you’re my new best friend!  Ha Ha!  If you like what you saw on Luke’s channels keep checking back for more videos – he’s great about posting new material often and if you’ve never looked at his stuff before, then you have plenty of music to listen to and vlogs to watch!  Enjoy!
