How To Be a YouTube Star (ft. The Rock)



Summary: Lilly Singh uses her awesome YouTube knowledge to teach newbie The Rock how to become a YouTube sensation.


When this video first popped up in my subscription box I was slightly confused but intrigued. I had read somewhere, on Buzzfeed I think, about The Rock having a YouTube channel now so it would only be a natural progression for him to feature in his friend iisuperwomanii 's video. What was surprising to me is that the video had only been up for half an hour when I watched it but it somehow had a whopping 250,000+ views ALREADY! Which really just shows the power of YouTube and traditional media stars coming together.


The video itself was very tongue in cheek and showcased both Lilly and The Rock's acting abilities. They both played fictionalised or exaggerated versions of themselves with Lilly's not so secret lust for The Rock being a running gag throughout. I was impressed with how The Rock seemed to fit into the YouTube video like any other Youtuber would rather than as a A list actor trying to appear in a YouTube video to get people to see their new film. They always seem slightly uncomfortable as they are out of depth and don't seem to loosen up enough as necessary to have a good YouTube video. However you can tell he has definitely done his homework and it shows, who knows he may just be a next top Youtuber.


As usual Lilly was on point and her friendship with The Rock allowed their on screen chemistry to shine, I would suggest that it shines off screen as well but unfortunately The Rock has a stunning girlfriend already. I guess we just have to ship them in our hearts...
Following on this video was just part 1 of two videos, the latter one featuring on The Rock's very own YouTube channel. I thought the premise of this video was a rather amusing and a unique way to introduce The Rock to the YouTube community and I have high hopes that his video is just as entertaining if not better.


Overall this was a fun video to watch and was like a clash of two worlds that just worked really well,  for simply having The Rock in her video I had to add two points to what was already a top notch video so this gets a 9/10.

I Dare You: GETTING TASED! (ft. Timothy Delaghetto & Anna Akana) - NigaHiga

Image
Summary: NigaHiga is back at it again with another I Dare You video featuring the hilarious and talented Timothy Delaghetto and Anna Akana, as well as the usual gang whose names I've now realised I don't actually know. awkward.... This video is a part of a series that NigaHiga has created which shows him and a group of people doing all sorts of crazy dares and challenges (the kind they tell you not to try at home) all to win a coveted spot for their name on the ball of lame. // Side note: the ball of lame is basically a ball of tinfoil that they write their names on// Unfortunately this video didn't stick out as being one of the greatest in the series and it didn't even make me laugh out loud once. Yet it does still do it's best to try to be entertaining. I'm starting to wonder if the appeal of the series is starting to wear off especially since Youtube is a place where you can see hundreds if not thousands of videos of people humiliating themselves an...

Making something of yourself

Uni is a unique time when you are surrounded by like minded individuals who all want to make something of their life. So naturally you'll see a lot of people having businesses, being athletes, aspiring singers, models etc and in this midst of so much success it can be disheartening in a way. Everyone appears to be flourishing and getting exciting new opportunities and if you haven't found your thing yet it can seem like you're falling behind the crowd. To this I say don't worry, a key part of uni and transitioning into adulthood is learning more about yourself and what you want for your future. It's a time to gain ideas from people and meet potential collaborators but it is also a good time to try out different things, pursue something that scares you because even if you fail at it, you have time to recover. I know what it's like to look at your peers and feel like you're not doing anything or to look at them doing well in something your interested i...

Speaking wealth into your life

Many people spend thousands of pounds every year on going to wealth conferences but luckily for you I'm going to explain one of their most taught processes that helps aid you in becoming wealthy. It is called speaking wealth into your life or a mantra and I will be sharing a few of the benefits of having one. A mantra is simply a few statements that you recite every morning when you wake up that helps put you in the right a frame of mind. (I will be talking about how the way you think about money influences the amount you will get next week, so be looking out for that). It is almost like a reminder of what you want to achieve. Writing a mantra is quite easy but first you have to identify which financial goals you want to achieve. If you want to be financially free then a mantra you could say is "I am financially free and I have no debts" . By saying this every morning it helps you to truly believe it and get more into the rich person mindset. It can also inspire you ...
