I’m not sure how many of you know about tarby worm trees, but I have two of them behind my house. I got them about 10 to 12 years ago and they were less than a foot high each. About a decade later they stand about 20 to 24 feet high and supply me with a good bit of tarby worms twice a year.

A tarby worm is just like a catepillar, but they don’t have the fuzz or hair-like bodies. It’s just a smooth surface to their bodies and they are black with bright green markings on them. They are excellent for fishing and you can catch catfish, bass, crappie and bream (pronounced brim) with them. All of the fish in my local area of Canton, Georgia just tear them up when they see a tarby worm in the water.

So where does the tarby worms come from? Every year when the leaves fill out on the tree, they will be white blooms that come on the tree too. These blooms attract moths and the moths will come lay their eggs on the tarby worm trees. It doesn’t take the eggs long to hatch and soon you will have baby tarby worms on your tree. It takes them about 4 to 5 days to become good fish bait. It’s important that once you see the baby tarby worms you make plans to go fishing in the next 5 to 8 days. Normally after about the 8th day, the tarby worms have cleared all the leaves off of the tree and they vanish. I think by the middle of July my leaves on the tarby worm trees will be completely gone. They will grow back again and about 8 to 10 weeks later, you will normally get a 2nd crop of tarby worms during the fall. So you can plan another trip back to the lake and fish with your tarby worms again!

It’s not too hard to find the popular song from Aladdin A Whole New World being sung by Youtubers over at You Tube. Youtube has been a great place for amateurs to sit in front of their webcams and sing some of their favorite songs. You can often find dozens or even sometimes as many as 100 different versions of a popular song being sung at YouTube. So it wasn’t too big of a surprise to see so many different versions of a great song like A Whole New World being sung on one of the most popular places for uploading videos.

YouTuber #3 (only 12 years old)

YouTuber #5

So what do you think of these YouTubers? Which YouTuber did the best job with the song A Whole New World? I’m sure when this song was chosen to be used for the movie Aladdin, nobody would have ever thought so many different people would be singing this song on the internet, for people all over the world to hear and see. I think they all did a good job and did you notice that YouTuber #3 was only 12 years old! It’s amazing to see all these young girls with the talent they have and just singing the song in their own way. I think that 12 year old might have a future in the singing business, because her video was as good as any of the other girls and they all appear to be older than her. Please choose which one you like the best and explain why that girl’s version was better than the others. If you can’t just pick one, then feel free to pick 2 of the videos that you think were the best. Be sure to point out anything that a certain You Tuber did and why you liked or disliked that.

Now how do you think the You Tube Sensation Alex would compare to these girls above? Alex is 15 years old and I would guess that some of the girls above are younger, older or perhaps the same age as Alex is. Well it just so happens that Alex recently recorded a version of A Whole New World and we can listen to Alex’s version and see if she does anything better than the YouTubers above or did someone above do a certain thing or part of the song better than the Sensation from You Tube did?

Alex Sings A Whole New World

Did Alex do better than any of the You Tubers above? Does Alex match up with them and does just as good as they did? Did Alex do better than your favorite YouTuber from the 5 girls that sang A Whole New World above? What could Alex have done better for her version of A Whole New World? Please be sure to share any comments, suggestions, advice or ideas that you might have for any of these girls performing that famous song from the Aladdin movie. I’m sure they all would appreciate an honest opinion or review on the way they performed A Whole New World.

Now to be fair to all the girls in this post of mine, none of them knew they would be compared to other YouTubers when singing this song. Not even the YouTube Sensation Alex knew I was going to be using her video to compare her version of this song, with others that had a video of this same song.

What’s great about YouTube is that it allows people to just sit in their bedrooms or a room in their house where they feel comfortable. They can be all alone and just sing away into their webcams and then they have the ability to upload their videos where 1 or 2 people might see it, a few dozen might see it, hundreds, thousands and in some cases even 1 million people could see a video that they did in the comforts of their own homes.

I applaud all of these girls in this post and to all the other boys, girls, men and women that upload videos of their self singing in a place as popular as You Tube. Some of the people that watch these videos don’t always leave the nicest comments, but when you do find that one complement for your video, I’m sure it just makes your day! I applaud all the YouTubers around the world that upload and share their videos for us all to see each and every day.

It truly is a whole new world for You Tubers!
