Opinion Time: These two are so charming and lovely. They chose to show their lives together, the good and the bad. Its so raw and I love that. I give them credit for that. Their videos on the vlog channel and both of their channels feel professional but also have a fun touch to them that I love. RJ is very opinionated which I love and Will is enthusiastic while playing games. Back to the vlogs though, It kind of feels like a documentary when I watch them and like I'm growing and learning with them on this journey called life (so deep I know.) I know some people aren't into the vlog thing so if your not go check out their other channels! They are sweet guys and I wish them the best in everything that they do.

Shane Dawson

 

 

Profile: Shane Dawson (formerly Shane Yaw) is an American entertainer, actor, singer, podcaster and comedian on Youtube. He currently lives in Los Angeles California. He's twenty five years old and has been making Youtube videos since 2008. Shane has for the most part filmed and edited most of his videos alone. His videos include sketch comedies and music parodies/videos on his main channel, vlogs on his second channel as well as the occasional gaming videos and tag videos. Shane has been a Youtube partner for years so his main source of income is ad revenue from his channels. He's well known for playing characters that he created himself including; shanaynay, s-deezy, paris, ned, fruit lupe, etc. All these characters have their own personalities, specific clothes, looks and voices. These characters are usually featured in Shane's main channel sketch videos. Many of these characters can also be featured on shirts and other merchandise which are sold both online and in stores. He releases a podcast featuring a famous celebrity or Youtube personality weekly.He also has acted in a movie called "Smiley" which was directed by fellow youtuber Michael Gallager (Totally Sketch.) Shane starred as a main male character. In late 2013 Shane announced that he had pitched an idea for a comedy show called "losin it" that was bought and is now in the developing and being created into a tv show which will be aired in the future. Shane has been a two year relationship with fellow Youtuber Lisa Schwartz (Lisbug) and they live together with their dog Unicorn. Some Youtubers that Shane has been associated with include; Joey Graceffa, Shanna Malcolm, Totally Sketch, Rebecca Black, etc. Shane has been subject for controversy since the beginning of his Youtube career. He started off as a full time Youtuber after him, his family and several other employees were fired from Jenny Craig after Shane had made a video at work and posted it online. Said video had to be removed to avoid any lawsuits. Also his videos are usually filled with adult humor, and swearing. The content usually varies from sexual content, to drug related and violence. However, being on Youtube for the long span of time he has Shane has taken it with strive and continues to make content how he wants to.

Popular Videos: Some of Shane Dawson's most viewed videos include:

1)FRED IS DEAD! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NLXlZivlyA

2)Miley Cyrus - Wrecking Ball PARODY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IKE2lCoNqY

3)Miley Cyrus - "We Can't Stop" PARODY  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aH2jJdBkGgs

 

 

Opinion Time: Shane Dawson is one of the first Youtuber's I'd ever seen. He is hard working and very talented as a comedian and content creator. I do think however anyone who watches him should be a teenager  because his content can be very innapropriate. I think he can go far as an character actor, director and comedian if he keeps doing what he's doing right now as one of the most famous Youtuber's in the past and right now and gets his tv show on the air. I think Shane has a talent of writing cute, fun little songs and even though his singing may not always be on par it is far from bad music. He's made many videos pertaining to different problems that viewers have had and he's very authentic with his feelings and emotions when it comes to these touch subjects having been through a few of them himself. He's always come off as caring and I really admire that about him.

Joey Graceffa

 

 

 

 

 

Profile: Joey Graceffa is an American vlogger, entertainer, model, occasional singer and gamer on Youtube. He currently lives in Los Angeles California (no surprise there.) I've come to see that most bigger youtuber's live in or near the California area. They are technically celebrities though so I guess it works. Anyway back to Joey. He's twenty two years old and has been making Youtube videos since 2008 or 2009. He started off on a collab channel with his childhood friend Brittany called "winterspringpro" which was a channel where they would make quirky and or low budget little films. After Joey left that channel (videos are no longer posted) he created his own personal channel called "JoeyGraceffa" where he's riding solo, and a gaming channel called "Joey Graceffa" where him and his friend Stacy usually play minecraft together or other games . He pay's and endorses someone to edit pretty much all of his videos. Joey is of course a youtube partner so his main source of income are his channels ad revenues, but he also models and is trying to pursue an acting career. He's well known for his "catchphrases" including; "oh my goodness gracianyas," "beautiful for spacious skies," and many others which have been featured and sold on tshirts and other items found on district lines which is a online clothing store.  In 2013 he wrote and starred in his own series called "Story Tellers" which was heavily fantasy, and adventure based. These videos currently have around 1 million views per episode (6 episodes all together.) Some Youtubers that Joey has been associated include; Shane Dawson, Katrific, Luke Conrad, Sawyer Hartman, etc. He has also been the subject of controversy and gossip for multiple reasons including his lack of sexual preference that he has not made publicly known and a mishap with comedian Nate Clark who had Joey's car towed for blocking his driveway. That however wasn't the end of the argument. Joey made a vlog about the mishap complaining about the ordeal which caused Clark to backlash and release Joey's finance records which were conveniently on Joey's passenger seat of his car. However, of course the ordeal has died down and it hasn't really been talked of since. Some speculation on who Joey has dated have pointed to multiple people, including a british vlogger on Youtube named Doug. Joey took down a vlog starring him and Doug showing him picking him up from the airport and some fans have said that evidence proves they were staying in the same room. Until Joey or Doug says one way or another though this mystery will never be solved.

Popular Videos: Some of Joey Graceffas most viewed videos include:

1) BRITISH V.S. AMERICAN ACCENTS!   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua7nyAaf3pE

2) ARE YOU GAY TEST! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDdmm8zhh-c

3) SMOOTHIE CHALLENGE! - WITH SAM PEPPER! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_8PQ9k94qY

 

 

Opinion Time: I personally think Joey Graceffa is an okay content creator. He has a sassiness and quirky side to him but he has also been known to be quite snarky. From what's been seen and said in his videos and others videos he seems like a decent guy so I have no hatred towards him on any level. Hes a good looking guy who has a lot going for him and hes young so who knows whats in store for him in the future! Also the whole sexuality thing of course doesn't matter to me. No matter what he identifies as is up to him if he wants to broadcast it to the world. Let him do his own thing and live his life like he wants. I do think that he does have a decent singing voice when he does covers and his smile and quirkiness can brighten up someone's day. He's also got a positive look on life which can and has helped others but that doesn't mean he doesn't show the bad parts too in his vlogs. I give him credit for putting out this raw footage to the world even if some of it may be edited we still get to see the emotion.
