It was a night of glamour and
excitements. The Youtube red carpet brings both local, regional and United States
Youtube stars together in Singapore. Screaming fans and eager mobile phone contingent
leaning against the fence to get a closer view of their beloved stars.
As the stars descended down the red
carpeted staircase, waving fans stretch their handphones to have their photos
taken with the stars whether it was going to be selfie or wefie. Frantic fans
welcome the stars while big security men in dark shirts stand close to ensure
the safety of the stars.
The two comperes provided a brief
interview with the stars just before they walk down the red carpet. The stars
looked so different from the casual attired day at the media press conference a
day before. Honestly, they really shine
like stars after all Youtube is a global channel. If you are famous in Youtube,
you are shining stars.
At the end of the event, the
effect of screaming fans still linger in my mind. Unfortunately, I was not invited
to enjoy and support the stars performance on 23-24 May 2015. Hopefully, I get
to be invited for all the events of Youtube fanfest in 2016. See you in 2016.
Media Invite Youtube Fanfest is back once again in Singapore starting
from 22 -24 May 2015. Over the weekend, you will be assured with live shows,
fireside chats, academies, creative workshops and lots of fun. In fact, there
will be more youtubers present in this year youtube fanfest.
You will have a chance to rub shoulders with your favourite
local and international Youtubers such as Wong Fu Productions, Kurt Hugo
Schneider, Naomi Neo, The Fung Brothers, BubzBeauty, Night Owl Cinematics,Dee
Kosh and many more.
The speaker talk about the first youtube video. It was nostalgic. Here is the video.
At the press conference, youtubers stars touches on the topics on working with brands and how they feel about it. Munah & Hirzi mentioned that they have no problems with brands and social media worked well with brands. This year, Hewlett Parkard (HP) sponsored the youtubers stars for the Singapore youtube fanfest. It will not be possible without a sponsorship.
Views shared by Youtubers stars such as those from US, The Fung Brothers and Timothy Delaghetto mentioned about Asian identity representing America was a bit difficult. Timothy added that Asians in America media were portrayed as nerds or kung-fu expert which he said that it was not like that. It was through Youtube, Asian Americans show that they can rap, sing and act. That will help to change the perception of the American community on Asians especially Asian American.
The stars were jovial. Do click on the video which I have created and enjoy more of their views and opinions.
