Alex talks about her first day of school, the possibilities of a new band, and the school uniforms. The young You Tube Sensation gets a taste of her first day of high school and she sounds like she is excited for what the future might hold.
Alex’s First Day of High School
Nice video Alex!
Now I didn’t like when the teachers made us stand up in front of the class and do anything. It seems Alex didn’t mind standing up and telling about her self. I guess she doesn’t mind the spotlight and her fame on You Tube is probably getting her adapted to performing or speaking in front of others.
It seems Alex’s music taste is right in line with what everybody else is listening to. After watching the American Music Awards last night, I was amazed at just how many songs Alex has chosen to sing that were up for awards last night. The song Umbrella by Rihanna and Justin Timberlake’s What Goes Around were just a couple of songs that were performed or won awards last night. I had never listened to these songs before Alex had sung them, so she was the first one I heard perform these songs. After hearing the original artist sing them, I much rather hear Alex perform these songs than Rihanna or Justin Timberlake.
A couple of more things that caught my eye at the American Music Awards were Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry. These were two people that got their start or big break from the popular tv show American Idol. They were both racking up awards last night and just pretty much stealing the show from all the other talented artists that are really big right now. There are no doubts that American Idol is fast becoming an engine or platform, where musicians can get a tremendous boost to their musical careers. Kelly Clarkson (which Alex sings some of her songs) is another good example of just how her fame sky rocketed, after winning the top spot on American Idol. You don’t even have to win; to benefit from the show either. Many talented singers fell just short of the judge’s vote on American Idol, but other people took notice and some of the 2nd place finishers have done just as well as the winners from American Idol.
Many of Alex’s YouTube fan base often comment that she should be on American Idol. I just wonder how far Alex would go, if she had the chance to compete on the show. I’m not sure what the rules are and if a citizen from Mexico could actually appear on the show, because after all, it is called “American” Idol. While the show might have an American name, it is watched in many other countries and has a world-wide fan base. Some of the other networks have even tried to mock the popular show, but no matter how hard they try; American Idol appears to stand out from the crowd.
I think it would be a good idea for one of the Mexican Networks to try and do something similar as American Idol. The “Mexican Idol” or whatever the producers decide to call the show could use Alex to get them started. I think she would make a great first champion or maybe even be someone that just worked with the show. Alex is interested in more than just singing. She likes playing instruments and composing music and would be a gem of an employee to have, if anyone in Mexico did have desires of creating an “Mexican Idol”.
For now Alex will be tackling high school and meeting a lot more new friends in her bigger school. It should be interesting to see just what direction the YouTube Sensation takes as she winds her way through school. I’m sure the opportunities are going to be more abundant, as more and more people get a taste of all her talents. I just wonder how Randy, Paula, and the famous Simon would judge her, if she did have the chance to perform on American Idol.
Have fun in high school Alex! More posts on Alex’s high school days and more will becoming soon!
