YouTube Magic

They've been going around the Internet for days now and have become so popular that clips of their performances are all over YouTube's homepage. So what is it about 2 little girls in pink tutus that have caused such a stir? If you don't already know, click below to find out...

Sometimes I wonder where we'd be without the invention of YouTube and other similar entertainment mediums? Shows like Ellen for one would be without countless hours of Internet-based content and little 8-year-old girls like Sophie would still be singing into hairbrushes in front of their bedroom mirrors. Justin Beiber would be your average teenage boy and we as consumers would probably find ourselves with a lot more time on our hands to do the more 'important' things in life.

YouTube has launched careers, escalated business profit margins and essentially provided a medium whereby anyone and everyone has the potential to become a star. Today it seems that your average 15 minutes of fame is more like 15 seconds, but even that seems to be an appealing prospect for thousands, if not millions of people who have created a videos and posted their finest (or most embarrassing) moments.

YouTube is in many respects an extension of the reality-TV epidemic and if nothing else, it provides a free platform for ordinary people with exceptional talents to showcase them to the world. Just like many aspiring music artists before her, I have no doubt that we have not yet seen the end of Miss Sophie, with her big voice and even bigger personality. Watch out world- a new YouTube diva has just been born!
