YouTubealooza! The YouTube Music Festival

[amrlfz92]

KOKO KAINA a.k.a ZEE AVI.....LUVIT

[JustA11en]

@amrlfz92 Zee had 129 subscribers when I made this. I couldn't be more happy that YT staff featured her on the front page shortly afterwards & she got some very well deserved attention. It's truly awesome that she's been able to turn something she loved doing into a career.

[amrlfz92]

@JustA11en thanks a lot man...may god bless ya

[anyratyvonne]

hi there :) just want to promote my channel if u have time go visit it tnx! :)

[llamadan40]

it's funny looking back at this vid how small time Kokokaina was... back in '07 =P ....now she tours and records with musicians from Jack Johnson's band and has a record deal..

[TheLegendInYou]

ltownguitarplayer - this guy has several very good original recordings.

[GuitarnSk8erchick]

i cnt edit vids on here so cnt post a reply but zoesthebestdamnthing is amazing:)

[sammw1515]

[ColonolCorn]

Hats off to you man, great idea

[safestbearhugs]

KOKO hands down

[AwakeChild]

[AwakeChild]

[ClearReception]

[daniellesmagic]

thanks again for this justa11en!

[gtristdan]

Very cool Allen! Great artist's you have shared..Thanks for your support for independent and 'unknown' musicians!

Peace

[DrivenMind]

This was a good video, and a good idea. Nice work. It is funny how youtube is also forcing people to become good at multiple faucets of multimedia.

[WALbariaRUS]

LOL you are hilarious and so true

[yannickvanloo]

Right on! And quiet a funny video!

[1dockthorwho23]

cool allen your so right.thanks for posting.

[MoonwalkerPJ]

[K8smusic]

AWESOME!!! Hurray for the unknown artist and their fans!

[Phaethon6]

I can't hear the vioins...

[JustA11en]

That's a lyric from a Pantera song.

[DrivenMind]

Dimebag FTW

[Dhil13]

KOKO!KOKO!KOKO!

[Hlfay]

This is an awesome idea! Thank you for supporting musicians!

[chuntoon007]

rock mang!

[chuckadile]

amen brother

[ProffesorWho]

this is amazing.

[dogwood523]

Hey A11en Jugnutgut has submitted some great picks for consideration, for

YouTubalooza....Hope everyone else will continue to submit their choices as well....

That's the whole idea right to get us to find these unsigned budding artists...I love fresh new talent...come on scouts>>>

This will just give them all more exposure...

Thanks for the idea : JustA11en!!!

[dogwood523]

JustA11en....I enjoy this so much...GREATMUSIC and Talented ARTISTS....

You are really on to something here...

Who cares about a writer strike..>???

Life will go on...Make our own Music...

[JustA11en]

YT staff loves to steal my ideas. Shortly after this vid, they started an unsigned artist spotlight, and featured Koko. At least in this regard, i'm glad they did.

[dogwood523]

Yes, But still we know the TRUTH...

A11en it was your idea...

The least that they could do is give credit where credit is due...

A RARE thing these days my friend...

Cheers...

[JustA11en]

Nah. As long as they are making an effort to promote some of these talented people, that's good enough for me. :)

[dogwood523]

Your still the man A11en, Thanks for taking the

moral high ground, you put me to shame here you

had a chance for shameless self promotion...and

[now where have I heard that before?] and you past on it. Thanks Bro...

[dogwood523]

Please check out Leesha Harvey on YouTube...

Song: Apologize

[gorollos]

I ♥ Malvasio

[naughynatalie]

[kcnccarolina]

What American Idol? where did the AVE MARIA go? she was wonderful! Neat stuff! You can be the talent agent for these people! (well the one's that are good)

[dogwood523]

KrittyBean

[jugnutgut]

I should have done this a month ago but better late than never. Here's my video of Five of Youtube's Best. I agree with you completely and thanks for what you're doing.

[DreidMusicalX]

I support anyone thats willing to help others! So I subbed ya... Also put up a video. Im not a singer really, just a guitarist that does some back ups?

[nllleonard]

Thanks for the great idea, and the new musicians! Some real good ones! Check out rudyvandam. His version of "If I Needed You" is real good. (Nice guy too!)

[billbeecham]

Just A11en, very original! You have actually said what I wanted to say before I said it. Damn! Way to go! Kudos! I'm your cheerleader! (Even tho I'm a guy. Grow up people)

All I can say is ... well put, well done, well said. You hit the nail on the head.

[merl2009]

KoKoKaina is my absolute favorite.

[PDXvlog]

JP from PDX here: I added another song response to make sure people don't think we're a ballad band, heh. But seriously, this whole vid/thread is definitely great, someday they need to have an all-out Youtube music festival, live.

[sparkalot]

It's about time, and long overdue mate, thanks for making it happen...Yaaaay!!!

[JustA11en]

Thanks for watching! Please check out these amazing artist!

[BuckConcert]

I'll say...: check out fanvanmel

I try to promote them but dont know how.... Maybe you know.

Best, Buck

[AtomicUs5000]

I see you have similar thoughts. That's great. I subscribed to anybody in yuor list that I wasn't already subscribed to.

[JustA11en]

Thank you! I think they are all very talented. :)

[manyonerise]

Wow those were great picks! I'll have to check the ones I didn't sub already. Thanks! My beef is with musician channels that never acknowledge anyone's compliments or comments & also ones that used to subscribe to lots of other musicians, but then they get popular & unsubscribe to everyone but just one like NIN or something like that :) TY ♫♥ J/Bottles

[manyonerise]

oh well, "beef" may be too strong a word lol. I do like nin btw. Love! Sorry, I don't know why I thought this was the place to make a "beef" *sorry* J/Bottles

[JustA11en]

Where's the beef?!?! >:D

[londonpenda]

Great idea.

Do you have to be able to sing or play an instrument.?

I do electronic stuff. O.O

[JustA11en]

Not at all! That's music as well. :)

[soulwith4flames]

wow, they were fantastic

[JustA11en]

Thanks for checking them out! :)

[soulwith4flames]

I'll watch anything that has you in it.

That was total cheese but it's true.

[bfsongs]

Man, this is an awsome idea! I subbed. I will post a video response as soon as I record a new song.

Keep up the good work.

I will check the artists you have mentioned.

Kind regards,

Bruno

[stealurface1976]

oh and...i agree with you about the most subbed artists and their lack of support for others....its a shame..give and take...thats what its all about

[stealurface1976]

great idea~!...theres my bro dion!>...lowlifes 4 life!!

[seeso]

Wow, great choices! KokoKaina pointed me in your direction, and I'm so glad she did. I'll check out these other artists right away. Can't wait!

I'll post a video response soon, too.

Thanks again!

[battim]

noone likes to listen to me sing...

[donT4ge2chukLevryday]

i doubt that! donT worry if its not good enough for anyone else to hear, just sing, sing a song!

and chuckLeveryday!

JustA11en, you rock dude! seriously great stuff.

eLi G., piaNOwarist in jApAn.

[JustA11en]

Thx! LOL at the SN!

[BreaLoveARThopeace]

you totally rock Justa!!en.

[JustA11en]

Thank you. :)

[CreepyGothGuy]

Guess who! So i was just gonna ask if you knew the names of those two songs played by Malvasio and RandallDowney11. If you could tell me it would be greatly appriciated! As you could probably tell from my many prior comments that i am severely grammaticaly challenged, i know this ^_^

[modernoracle]

This sounds awesome dude! Great features!

[JustA11en]

Thanks for checking it out, man. I appreciate what you do for the music community on YT, as well.

[sandsilva27]

hi there, well i want to congratulate you about you're vid is great, well i sing, and i have 2 original son but i dont have the music 4 her =(, there are just sung acapella..

but anyway there are great musicians here so i want wish all the good luck to them=)...

[JustA11en]

Thanks for checking them out, Sandy. :)

[MedievalWarriors]

I loved the home musician video. Thank you JustA11en for sending the video though it was sent twice. Lawl.

[JustA11en]

Thanks for watching. I'm sorry you got it twice. I got an error message, when I tried to send it, the 1st time, and didn't think it went through.

[delaneyelise]

Thank you for sending me this video, i myself am a musician but im only 13 and i do cover songs, I have not done an original yet but hope to soon. So I say that i would recommend 2 musicians that i think are awesome, of course there are so many more but these to do originals and are AWESOME!!

1. edenmaze 2. austinsplace

Check them out!!! thanks :} delaney xxxxx

[JustA11en]

Thanks for watching, and the tips. :)

[dmio2]

My favorite thing about utoob is listening to home musicians. I love things like this that collects lots of vids in one place so I don't have to hunt around.

[JustA11en]

Thanks for checking them out. I hope you find something you like. :)

[wobinidan]

Which is run by modernoracle. Well worth looking through his vids. Peace and love, man.

[wobinidan]

Great that you are doing something for the unknowns on youtube. I have a blog for the cream of the crop (in my opinion) at wobinidan dot wordpress dot com.  I hope you can get some valuable links from there. I got nearly all mine from the original music database...

[JustA11en]

Thanks for the comment, and the tip.

[expresspress]

Great talents hidden on here. These were fantastic!

Nice work once again

Carol NY

[JustA11en]

Thanks Carol! :)

[arvinwynn]

great video,and you are so right many great music videos and artists on YouTube, I always leave a good word for them.

[JustA11en]

Thanks for checking them out!

[liberator416]

nice hat, i thibnk you should be able to shave when ever u want..lol. awsome video.

[JustA11en]

Thanks! :)

[tinykarianne1]

You did it AGAIN!

Yo,m I would love to make one, know alot of talented ones, but I don't know HOW to copy others vids....

Hmmmm...

Oki, that's that!

Advice?

Gladly appreciated!!

YOU ROCK THIS PLACE LIKE JIM MORRISON ROCKS THE SKY =)

[JustA11en]

YOU ROCK! *massive hugs*

[OhCurt]

I haven't seen him online in a while, but Booradleysstuntman was posting some awesome blues interpretations/covers for a while.

Excellent point about the more prominent artists not helping others.

The folks you spotlighted here are cool, Allen.

Good on ya!!

[JustA11en]

Thanks for the tip, Curt. :)

[Suramz]

you ARE the youtube guru!

[JustA11en]

shh....

It's a secret! >:D

[la1880]

Nice video!!

[JustA11en]

Thank you.

[RhewChuryll]

This was sweet to watch. Thanks bro for putting in the time.

[JustA11en]

Thanks for the kind words. :)

[lolard69]

ONE NAME. RONALD JENKEES.

[MBRHIndustries]

word.

[JustA11en]

I'll check him out.

[MBRHIndustries]

this was cool, you're right, none of the bigger names showcase up and coming talent. and the editing was spot on dude.

[JustA11en]

Thanks man. *tips hat*

[biblegirl7]

Great picks. I like your taste in music. I don't really watch much music here on YouTube, except for YsabellaBrave, and I like her because I respect her beliefs as well. But I enjoyed all the artists you featured here. I'll have to check them out =)

[JustA11en]

Thanks Lisa. I really think each of these guys have "it", and I hope that they are a little less unknown, after this.

[Fringe111]

That's a great idea, you're a good man my friend. I'll probably subscribe to all of then

[JustA11en]

Thanks Joy. *big hugs*

[DocRusty]

great idea, A11en. As you know, I am the world's greatest singer songwriter but it's good to see lesser known talent getting some attention! You (and they)rock!

[JustA11en]

Your status as world's greatest singer was a given, and therefor went unmentioned. (thx:)

[JustA11en]

Thank you. :)

[CreepyGothGuy]

One more thing. you're video, Religion: the Science of Hate. Simply amazing, i even retyped it and showed it to a very large number of people. Dont worry now, credit is all yours man :) but i must say, i do not think i have seen a video that i can agree more with.

[JustA11en]

Wow. Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate the feedback.

[CreepyGothGuy]

Ron Jarzombek! amazing guitarist, my dad used to know him in highschool or something like that. I suggest checking him out at least once. Mattrach! he already has alot of subscribers and attention, but he deserves much more, he is (in my opinion) the best musician on youtube.

[JustA11en]

I haven't heard of him, but I will check out his music.

Mattrach = prodigy

[CreepyGothGuy]

guess who! ^_^ well as much as i would like to post a video response commending you on your taste in music and telling you of mine, i simply dont have the epuipment to do so. so i guess this is the best i can do

[jesuswonthelottery]

Dion sent me, great idea, definitely no physical attributes here lol. although we have been called boobs before. :D

[JustA11en]

Oh, but that Les Paul probably helped you see a few! >:D

[jesuswonthelottery]

hmmmmm. seeing boobs is kinda easy if you think about it. lol

[burgandyblood]

How did you find all of them?!

[JustA11en]

I searched many channels, looking at other musicians subscriptions, and favorites. I found many more talented artist, than I could feature. I hope some of them will be featured by others. :)

[JustA11en]

***HEY YOU GUYS***

I'm really sorry if you got this, more than one time!

I was getting an error message from YT, each time I tried to send it! *mumbles obscenities*

[leafdude]

hey allen....good initiative...I suggest:

ardentoctopus and ftele. check 'em out people. you will like what you hear. Cheers!

[JustA11en]

Thanks Leaf. I'll check them out. :)

[girlganja]

Music brought me here, I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder.

[JustA11en]

Thank you, for the comment, and checking them out!

[LoneStarKitty]

I've subbed to some of your picks.

Thanks for the sending the video over, all 4 times. :oP

[JustA11en]

SORRY! YT is acting screwy today, and I got an error message each time I tried to send it. GRRRRR. *yells at YouTube*

[UFGatorJenn]

Wow Allen those are great channels...thanks for sharing!

[JustA11en]

Thanks Jenn. BTW Do you hear those Tarheels coming? >:D

[UFGatorJenn]

No, the cheers for Billy Ball drown them out! :o)

[JustA11en]

We shall see! *dances to UNC fight song...in manly manner*

[Patty9008]

your amazingggg

[JustA11en]

aww! Thanks Patty. :)

[JustA11en]

Thanks man. BTW I'm slowly, making progress on that web site. I'm test driving .mac, and like it, so far.

[anakin1814]

Allen--this was an amazing video with just absolutely amazing musicians...WOW! This was incredible. When i see stuff like this, it totally humbles me ad why I'm even on YouTube! :) 5/5

[JustA11en]

Thanks Gary! These guys are great, but you're not so shabby yourself. You make some very cool music, as well. :)

[anakin1814]

Ha ha...Thanks Allen! I guess I was just saying that when I see the talent that these musicians have on here, it makes me wonder why I'm on this site, making silly little vlogs! The amount of talent is amazing!

[JustA11en]

I used to have an unofficial subscription max, of 100, but I seem to find more people every week, and had to dump it.

The vloggers are just as important. Silly? pfft!

It's all part of an ever expanding community, even if YT doesn't care.

[twister7boy]

sorry i havent talk to you in a while. great idea. ive been slipping away from music and tv latly. cristine is my pick. but she doesnt youtube. very shy. wont play infront of more then one person. really awsome gutiar player and friend too. but you said here on you tube. i will have to do some checking around thanks ill get back to you on this one. i liked the way you put everthing in this video. great job. take it easy.

[JustA11en]

Thanks Greg. I look forward to it.

[thaggis72112]

Hey, how ya doing, the channel I was going to send this video to, has already posted a response (luvthecanadian). My work is done, without even doing any work :) Great vid, I agree completely, Have an awesome day! I will check back to see future responses, a reply would make it way easy. Cheers, Tom.

[JustA11en]

[thaggis72112]

Aww, thats what friends are for:) we definitely seem to travel in similar circles out here, come across you're awesomey comments all the time :)

[hardyboy100]

would the sign in the backround happen to be related to pantara?

[JustA11en]

Yes! \m/ I didn't know if anyone would get it. I use movie quotes most of the time, but I thought that lyric was particularly applicable.

[mammagraham]

hey thanx man i read the text didnt even cthat at the bottom man thats so cool thanx a million man def

[JustA11en]

No problem man.

[ge0rgeL1986]

[jasonspeaks]

*****Five ~Twisted~ Stars!*****

[JustA11en]

thanks...shadowman!

[krittybean]

thank you for helping our voices be heard. much love, ~kb

[JustA11en]

Thank YOU, for sharing your amazing talent. :)

[anmoose]

Great collection of talent, A11en! Most are unknown to me, so I'll be checking in on them.

There are a LOT of exceptional musicians on YT, and many of them are obscure simply because no-one knows they're here. This idea of yours could help change that.

Moosie

[JustA11en]

Thanks Moosie. I hope they get some well deserved recognition.

[zzzzzzzzap]

What quality cuts! I'm happy to say I'm subscribed to most of these fine musicians -- the others I'll be checking out in due course. Good to see KokoKaina featured; you are surely a man of taste. Really lovely editing too. Peace
