The TOP YouTube Videos of 2009: See Who Made The List http://bit.ly/7etkSk

Interestingly I haven’t watched any of the specifically mentioned top videos on the list but I have seen everything on YouTube worth watching vis a vis Michael Jackson and the Jackson family and have pretty much moved on from that pass time. My favorite YouTube subject matter now is fashion and beauty trends. I enjoy (shopping) “haul” vlogs when the presenter is good at it. It’s going on 2010 and yes you can be judged on the quality of your “haul” videos. I’m seconds away from being fashion jewelry haul worthy myself and this from an ex-jewelry snob who would not wear it if it wasn’t “real” except under sufferance. Now I can look back and say – what a boring way to live.

I also enjoy the “vintage” aka historical footage – all manner of things from Fats Waller, to Jackie Wilson to Donna Summer. It’s been a great evolution to go from the rather stodgy one set family sitcoms on the “boob” tube broadcast at you at 8 or 9 p.m. whether you liked it or not – to having it your way where you can pull in your own programming through virtual space. With all the trouble and strife in the world notwithstanding, this is still a wonderful world. YouTube’s not good for everything because I can’t find a decent clip of Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” on which to end this blog – so fill in your fave sunny December day song instead.
