Shay Carl Behind the Scenes At Vidcon

In case you don't know, a little gathering of online folks has been taking place in L.A. known as "Vidcon" and here Shay Carl and the Shaytards are vlogging about the shindig. Shay and the family are going to be on stage (hopefully Shay won't throw Rocktard out into the audience like last year) and if you watch the video you will likely see all sorts of the top Youtubers. First there's KassemG, Michael Buckley from his "What The Buck Show", iJustine, Tobuscus, MysteryGuitarMan, CTFxC (Charles Trippy and Alli Speed) and many others passing by the camera.



Now don't you wish you had bought a ticket? It unfortunately sold out in early May. If you're thinking ahead to Vidcon 2012 it is still a long way away and the location and other stuff has not been worked out, but you better plan on buying your ticket as soon as they become available.

Michael Buckley On CNN Discussing Youtube Success

Youtube is taking over mainstream TV now as Michael Buckley (aka WHATTHEBUCKSHOW) shows up to do an interview with Ali Velshi on CNN and Buck of course stole the show:



The only thing I didn't like was that Velshi's premise for the show was just "Youtube success" and "how much money you can make" etc. Everyone has heard about Buck's success as far as Youtube is concerned although mom & pop watching in the midwest probably didn't know what to make of Buck lol. He is certainly one of the big success stories on Youtube and now has 1,021,051 subscribers and he is making some decent coin from his various shows.

And, just in case you haven't seen Buck's style, here he is doing his recap of the 2011 Oscars:



He also has a personal vlogging channel that is pretty good too. It is at
Peron75 where you see Buck behind the scenes. One of the things he really does well on this channel is provide advice to younger viewers. Honestly, better advice than that given by so-called self-help gurus.

What The Buck Discusses This Year's AMAs

This is where Michael Buckley (on his What The Buck Show) gets a chance to shine. If you want to know what happened at the latest award show, you tune in to Buck.



Buck slams both Enrique Iglesias as well as Miley Cyrus (no surprise there) and said Miley looked like she had been dressed by Stevie Nicks (you younger folks will have to Google Nicks to find her weird gypsie outfits she was famous for in the 70s-80s). He did like Pink's performance, who I didn't know was pregnant, but it was the part where he mentioned the semi-ovation for Bieber with only the first three rows standing "because Usher had a GUN!"

As far as the re-emergence of the Back Street Boys-New Kids, snore. Those guys need to be forgotten as a bad memory from the 1990s. Didn't care for them then, and no need to re-visit sucky boy-band stuff again.
