Which video is the best?

These are some of the best of Alex videos thus far and now you can help pick out which one is the very best. Is there one video that stands above all the other ones? The 16 year-old Alex continues to display great musical talents over at You Tube and she has a nice collection of videos to watch that show some of those talents. Alex’s video career started 18 months ago on Feb. 8th of 2007 and she kicked off things that day with a show she called “The Unbelievable Show“. It lasted for 2 video uploads with a 3rd video announcing the cancellation of her show. Soon after that Alex would start singing in front of the webcam and the rest was history. She began mostly adding videos of her singing ability and soon a huge following would start to keep up with YouTube videos she was uploading. As her fan base grew, so did her popularity and now she is one of the more visible stars at You Tube that has made her into the YouTube Sensation she is today.

It has been a joy to watch all of Alex’s videos that she has uploaded over the months. We can now take a break and look back on all of the videos and see just how much talent this teenager possesses. You can also see the improvements and strides she has made with each video and see that she is getting better with each new video that follows the last one. She really does work well in front of the camera and you can see she is fearless when it comes to singing. Anyone in the world can be seeing these great videos via YouTube and it just makes you wonder when the right person will see them and get her on the path to becoming a world-wide sensation instead of the YouTube fame she has only got to this point. It isn’t just the singing that Alex likes and playing and composing music are also big interests of hers too. She is taking all the steps needed to be the complete package on stage and her versatility will work well in the years to come when she has the chance to focus more closely on just one facet of the music industry.

Some stars just never burn out and they only get brighter. That is true in the case with Alex and your still getting to witness a star in the making as she continues down this musical path. There is 5 very good videos above and these are some of the best ones she has done to this point. We really haven’t seen the best video or singing performance yet and it’s only a matter of time until the above videos are replaced with 5 more that are better than those! Stay tuned and see what the world has in store for this Mexican teen or see what the YouTube Sensation has in store for the world!

Bowling the Perfect Game

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

A perfect game in bowling is something I have never did. I really haven’t even come close to the magical 300 mark that all bowlers strive to get one day. A strike is not uncommon for beginners or professional bowlers, but when you can do that 12 times in a row it is very special. I just hope that if I ever do manage to string 12 strikes together, that I can have someone there to witness it. I would say the chances of bowling 300 are a lot like a golfer hitting a hole in one. It can be done, but the chances are very remote that you will ever do it. You also want someone there to see a hole in one if you ever manage that feat too. Now I am a better pool player, so making the 8 ball or 9 ball off the break is something I have done many times. I have also manage to run the table in both games and it’s a special feeling in pool when you can break the balls and run out from the break. I don’t think my roll in bowling is consistent enough to get a 300, but it would be nice to go into the 10th frame just knowing I had a shot at it. You would still have to bowl a turkey (3 strikes in a row) in the 10th frame to cap off the perfect 300 game in bowling. I guess a opportunity like this would be one that I might pass on, because the pressure would be tremendous if I ever did bowl 9 strikes in a row. I’m not sure what my high score is, but it seems like I managed a 250 something one time and if I wasn’t bowling a strike, then I was picking up the spare and you must close all your frames to have a super high score like 250.

Alex Searches For Cures to Being Bored

YouTube Preview Image

So do you ever find your self like Alex? Do you get in these situations where you are just so bored out of your mind and you want to just find something or anything to get into? I know I get that way sometimes and most of the time for me its cabin fever that gets the best of me. Cabin fever is another way to say that your at home and you want to go somewhere, but you can’t or just don’t have no place to go. The cure for cabin fever is just to get out of the house. It can also help cure boredom, but a lot of people might not have the option of leaving their house.

I’m sure the YouTube Sensation Alex would love some advice or tips on things to cure being bored. If you have any good suggestions for her, please be sure to reply and I’m sure she will be up to trying anything the next time she finds her self being bored.

While this video was posted on You Tube several weeks ago, I think Alex might not be so bored now. She continues to put out great videos of her singing talents and if you have never heard the You Tube Star sing before, you really need to listen to some of her songs. You can go back and review many of the great songs Alex has sung at You Tube so far from my blog here (Single Source Writing). You can click on the category “Alex YouTube” on the right hand side under the different categories here. You will be able to see the Young YouTube Sensation Alex performing a variety of songs. She really has an impressive library of songs stored away at YouTube to be so young.  This 16 year-old Mexican Teen is on a fast rate to being one of the top entertainers over at You Tube. She is an entertainer there and thousands of people have already got to enjoy the beautiful YouTube Sensation singing songs in the comfort of her home in Mexico. We all get the chance now to enjoy hearing Alex sing for free and I’m not sure that will always be the case. I think one day we will have to pay for her album or CD in a store or perhaps purchase a concert ticket to get a chance to hear the great singing talents of Alex. She is a young star on the rise and it’s not just me that thinks this either, as you can read through all of the other comments that get posted by the YouTube users that watch Alex’s videos at You Tube.

Please be sure to stay tune and I will continue to bring you all of the latest news, stories and videos about the Young YouTube Sensation from Mexico that we know as simply Alex!

Dolly Heading for Texas

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

It appears the first tornado of the 2008 season will be hitting the U.S. on Wednesday morning. Dolly is gaining strength and forecasters believe the storm will be a category 1 hurricane before it reaches the Texas border. It’s still unclear where the hurricane might make land fall but many think the Texas and Mexico border will be a pretty close guess. This hurricane is expected to bring 15+ inches of rain to the area where it comes ashore at. So people can expect a lot of flooding to occur along with all of the gusty winds that Dolly will be packing. Please make sure you take cover if you live any where near the area of southern Texas that borders the Gulf of Mexico. Dolly is still in the Gulf of Mexico, but many believe the category 1 hurricane will come on land in the next 24 hours. So now is the time to take shelter, evacuate or do the things you need to do for this hurricane in the Gulf. Dolly is coming, so if you do decide to wait the storm out, please be careful and be sure to have plenty of flashlights and batteries, because I’m sure many folks will lose their power when Dolly slams into the Texas coast.

Baseball’s All Star Game

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

The 15th inning marathon on Tuesday night was a good baseball game. What was not good is that the last batter of the game ended it and if an out would have been made, the game would have been stopped. Baseball is yet to figure out an All Star concept that rewards the fans. They are once again putting the fans second when it comes to the boys of summer. The game is meant for the fans and more should be done to reward them. The fans don’t care that players go back to their team tired or unable to pitch right away. What the fans do care about, is seeing the best players in the world competing against each. Baseball has not let this happen and it’s making the fans feel like they are the ones left holding the bag. I now will ban baseball for the 2008 season and I urge you to do the same too. Let’s not buy MLB merchandise or attend these games, until baseball puts the fans first and give us the game we deserve.

Feeding Ducks at the Park

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

A great way to get out and enjoy the great outdoors is going to a local park and taking in some fresh air. If that park has a lake with it, then be sure to bring some crackers or bread crumbs so you can feed the ducks. The kids love ducks and they will like it even better if they can actually feed them. I know most parks that have a lake tied in with them, do have ducks there that you can feed. Sometimes they might be off on flight, but there’s a good chance if you know where there is a park at with a lake, the ducks won’t be too far behind. My twin 3 year old nephews love to go outside. We took them to a park when they were a little younger and they loved seeing the ducks. We didn’t really have anything to feed them, but the ducks thought we had food. So try to load up the kids some day and take them to the park to feed the ducks. I’m sure they will enjoy it as much as you do and just watch the smiles on their face.

No Tax Rebate Check Yet

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Well according to the last two digits of my social security number, I was suppose to get my tax rebate check back on May 9th. I get it electronically zapped into my bank account, but that didn’t happen on May 9th. So I am still waiting for my share of that money that we are suppose to get back. I know a lot of other people that want or need that money to, so the waiting game is on for the tax stimulus rebate checks.

I owe my parents some money, so they are going to be getting most of mine. I think I will get about 20 to 30 dollars out of the check once it gets here, but even though it might not be much, I will still put it to good use. I have a lot of bills that need paying, so I hope I get that government check soon, so I can start knocking out some of these debts. Please be sure to let me know if you got your moeny back from the tax stimulus rebate checks and what you plan to spend your money on. Thanks!

Disney: High School Musical 3

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

high-school-musical-2-3.jpg

The kids are coming back from East High School and this time it will not be premiering on the Disney Channel. The latest movie will be opening up on the big screen on October 24, 2008 and this is the 3rd installment to this popular movie from Disney. The first High School Musical appeared on the Disney Channel in January of 2006. It won an Emmy and was the most successful Disney Channel Original Movies that was ever produced at the time. It didn’t take the guys from Disney long to figure out they had struck gold with High School Musical and came out with the 2nd version or sequel to High School Musical in August of 2007.  Both of these Disney Movies have grabbed a loyal fan base and many kids and teenagers are singing the lyrics to the songs and tuning in to each airing that Disney is replaying High School Musical on the Disney Channel.

Breaking Free from High School Musical

Since High School Musical 3 is still several months away, they will be a lot of promotions and hype that will get the anticipation built up before this movie ever comes out. I’m sure this will be the number 1 movie at the box office when it is released in October. You don’t have to look real hard these days to see the young folks singing or copying dance moves that the first two High School Musicals brought us. I’m sure all new songs and dance steps are already in the works and it should be interesting to see if Disney can deliver this movie one more time, as the cast prepares for senior year in High School Musical 3.

Most of all the footage has been shot in Utah. I assume High School Musical 3 will again be using the scenery around the Salt Lake City area in Utah. The 3rd edition to High School Musical does have big shoes to fill, after the first two have been so successful. In 2006, the soundtrack from the movie High School Musical was the top selling album in the United States. The success of this movie might not be like most movies, where acting and the actual plot come into play. I think most fans have a general idea in what direction the movie plot will go, but success might rely on the songs they use and just how catchy they are. So the music will be the most important part to High School Musical 3.

My high school was never like the one at East High School and I’m sure most would agree with me there. I just wonder how many people attending high school or getting ready to go to high school, would like to be enrolling in East High School. It does seem like a fun place to go to school and like most television shows or movies that are based on high schools, you never see the students doing much work. As for the real life actors and actresses that play the kids from East High School, they have been doing a lot of work and travel away from the set of High School Musical. I believe all the stars of this movie have made a name for their self and I’m sure they have increased their value for other television shows or movies they might want to star in.

I know High School Musical has had a world-wide reach and it’s not just the U.S. citizens getting caught up in the craze. Many people all over the world is keeping up with the show and I’m sure they too are anxiously awaiting the arrival of High School Musical 3. The You Tube Sensation Alex from Mexico was recently on vacation at her cousin’s house and they both had some light-hearted fun with some of the songs in High School Musical. You get to see Alex’s cousin sing the first song and then Alex sings another song from High School Musical that her cousin lends a little help to.

So just be patient and the movie will be in theaters soon for High School Musical 3 and I will be posting more videos of Alex even sooner and you can continue to watch a star in the making…

Mexico Star at You Tube

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Alex the YouTube Sensation has another great performance at You Tube you can find from the young mexican star.

Alex Sings I Don’t Love You by My Chemical Romance

Just another great performance from one of the many great young stars you can find over at You Tube these days. It seems Alex can just sit down anytime from her home in Mexico and sing any song great on her webcam. It’s been a great way for her to spread her singing talents for the world to see. If you know someone that has the gift for singing, you might want to encourage them to start uploading videos at YouTube, for people to watch and listen to them from all around the world. It’s truly a great way to get exposure and you never know when that right person might just find your video!

Alex has grew a big fan base and has only been uploading videos for a little over a year now. I’m sure her popularity will continue to rise and I just wonder how much longer we will get to hear her for free. If you stick around here I will be putting up more great videos from the You Tube Sensation in the near future.  So please be sure to check back in and get your glimpse; as you get to watch a star in the making!

Don’t forget to encourage others you know with singing talents or any other types of talents they can display on their webcams, to get on over to YouTube and upload their videos! It’s a great way to get exposure and feedback from other fellow YouTubers!

Today is March 28th, 2008 and this is Alex’s Birthday! The YouTube Sensation has reached her sweet sixteen and it’s been fun watching all her videos from when she turned 15 on YouTube until now. After seeing all her great videos over at YouTube for the last year, I can’t wait to see what songs we might get to hear her sing next.

16th-gift-balloon-300.jpg

 I know she has been very excited and I bet she is glad this day finally got here.  I do have another video with the YouTube Sensation; where she was talking about guilty pleasures and will share that one with you. So we get to take a break from hearing the YouTube Star singing and just listening to her talk about guilty pleasures.

Guilty Pleasures

Now you know some of Alex’s guilty pleasures!

We will all get to see what difference a year makes and see what type of musical talents she shows us as a sixteen year old now. I’m sure a 16 year old girl will be busy and won’t have a lot of time to upload many videos while going to school right now, but I still have plenty of Alex’s videos to put up while only being a young 15 year old lady. So be sure to watch for those as I will be getting them up as soon as possible.

Have a great day today Alex!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

OK…..now in my best singing voice:

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday Dear Alex,

Happy Birthday to Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

OK…..now blow out the candles! LOL

Happy Birthday!

I Don’t Lip Sync!

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

After a few comments and suggestions from some of Alex’s Videos over at YouTube, some have questioned is she lip syncing or not. The You Tube Sensation Alex thought she would address these claims and prove it’s really her singing.

Alex Says No to the Lip Syncing Comments

YouTube Preview Image

So now do you believe?

I think Alex did a great demonstration on this video and it shows the YouTube Star is actually singing the lyrics to her videos at YouTube. I think you can clearly see her amazing singing talents featured on this video and this should hush some of the critics with the lip syncing comments.

Alex has big plans for the future and really wants to be a part of the music industry in some form or fashion. I think she knows she has nothing to gain by lip syncing, so there is no Milli Vanilli here with the young YouTube Sensation from Mexico. Some may remember that Milli Vanilli had fooled a lot of people with their lip syncing tactics and if you need advice with that, you should seek Milli Vanilli’s advice. Alex is the real deal and you can just listen to a few of her videos here at Single Source Writing and see she is clearly the one singing her songs.

Please be sure to stick around and I will continue to update Alex’s progress over her teen years and we can see if a girl from Mexico can make a name for her self by uploading her videos at one of the most popular places to find user-generated videos online. Alex wouldn’t be the first person to have success in this field as Esmee Denters has already proven that a star can be born at YouTube.

If you haven’t heard of the Esmee Denters story yet, be sure to check it out and see how YouTube has made her a star. In terms of age the YouTube Star Alex is 3 years younger and it should be interesting if Alex finds her self in the same place as Esmee Denters is in right now. Stay tuned…
