Simon Cowell launches YouTube audition channelJustin Bieber and Carly Rae Jepsen were launched into stardom after getting discovered on YouTube, and now “The X Factor” creator Simon Cowell is setting out to find the world’s next big YouTube stars. Cowell’s company Syco Entertainment just partnered with YouTube to create the world’s first global audition channel, The You Generation. Aspiring stars can upload audition videos for various categories, ranging from vocals to makeup. Syco will determine winners every two weeks, and those selected will then become finalists in a global competition for a grand prize.
“We wanted to devise a way that is easier for you to get noticed. It’s a simple idea,” Cowell said in an introductory video for the channel. “It goes way beyond singers or dancers or all the stuff we’ve done before. And all the resources I have here or we have at Sony are all behind it.” The channel will go live in 26 countries on March 20, and the competition will last 52 weeks with a total of 26 contests. “It’s the biggest TV channel now in the world!” Cowell said of YouTube. “If you’re good and you’ve got a talent, the fans are going to make you the star.” Boy band sensation One Direction was largely propelled into fame by British fans on YouTube who spread their work internationally. The band will give a live stream interview on the channel to kick off The You Generation's March 20 launch. Cowell, who signed One Direction to Syco Records, added that YouTube has drastically changed the way record labels operate and stars are discovered. “Years ago you’d have these awful showcases,” he said. “You’d have to trek across London, all the record companies would be there, the acts were normally terrible. The system’s changed now, we have people looking at YouTube all the time. It’s a fantastic vehicle, it’s changed everything! It has literally changed the music business for the good."

WOW
California, here I come
Right back where I started from
Where bowers of flowers
Bloom in the spring
Each morning, at dawning
Birdies sing and everything
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
A sun-kissed miss said, "Don't be late"
That's why I can hardly wait
Open up that Golden Gate
California, here I come

Wow… My friend Emily has just married to a handsome wealthy guy
They met through ~~ŔichWoo.Ćoм~~ a good place to talk with successful wealthy guys and beautiful classy women (athletes,doctors,CEOs,models,lawyers,celebrities,etc….)perhaps you can have a try
Admittedly, my friend Emily is a shallow, vapid gold-digger, but hey, she bagged a big one, as they say. Poor sap. She'll take him for everything he's worth when all is said and done. If you're a greedy, desperate woman with huge knockers, loose morals and zero conscience, then ~~ŔichWoo.Ćoм~~ is the place for you!
