The borderline between courage and stupidity is very thin. Unfortunately, a lot of people are unable to realize this fact until it is too late. You can see them most of the time on several T.V. programs like X-Factor, Philippines/America’s Got Talent, American Idol, The Voice and etc. And by learning how to use a computer, they even got worse. They are unremarkably --- unwise (I think that’s the least harsh word that I could use. Help me here guys) that they never think twice before doing horrible, horrible things and uploading them on the internet (or at the very least, recording them). All they think of is showing the world what they got in hopes of getting discovered by talent scouts out there. Unfortunately, YouTube is there for them.
Here in The Random Letter Seven, making fun of them is never our intention (although to be honest, they are inexplicably funny, right guys!). We are against cyber bullying. The risk of showing off on the internet crowd is no joke. Make or break it is, the best thing you should learn first is that you got to think not only twice, not only thrice, but at least a hundred of times before doing something you might regret for the rest of your life. Be sure to avoid putting yourself on the YouTube hall of shame if you don’t want to join the ranks of:
7. Genelyn Sandaga I Knew You Were Chubol (I Knew You Were Trouble By Taylor Swift Cover)
Yeah... uploading this video can never do any chubol |
With over 400,000+ hits, watching her videos on You Tube
discouraged me from listening on Taylor Swift for several weeks (At least those
songs she covered). Her videos became trending on the internet not because she can
sing, but because her disdainful voice is so annoying that it became
entertaining (based on some blogs
and websites I’ve
read with their own respective reasons. That stuff actually supported my
theories about people who appreciate dominatrix and other kinds of sex fetishes).
Surprisingly, she was also considered as a YouTube sensation which gave her an
odd kind of fame. Here’s a sample of one of her most famous cover that I
strongly not recommend you to listen (her voice will remain in your head for a
couple of days, I swear!).
6. Myrick Hilario Bebi Bebi (Baby by Justin Bieber Cover)
Let me ask you a question. What would you do if you have a
descent internet connection and a videocam? Myrick, with his weirdly rhyming
surname on the stunt that he just pulled-off in the quest to achieve his dream
to become a singer, just shared his cover video of Justin Bieber’s Baby on the internet perhaps in hopes of getting
noticed by some talent scouts out there. His video immediately earned several
harsh criticisms because of… you know. The bright side is; a lot of people are defending
him from those who express their hostile opinions. They even created a Facebook
page for him. You can check it out here. (Warning: the video below is not recommended for those people
with anger management issues).
5. She should’ve said No! (Should've Said No by Taylor Swift Cover)
She only blinked 15 times for 4 minutes and 39 seconds. Your Move! |
With over 25million+ hits, Nichole Lee’s cover of Taylor
Swift’s song Should’ve Said No is
quite overwhelmed with… unfortunately, thumbs down (over 150k down votes as
opposed in 60k ups). She said in her website that she is
against bullying and that she’s been also experiencing it (it’s not surprising
actually, based on her videos). Well, what the heck! Her face covers almost ¾ of
the whole screen--- of the whole video----with a painful duration of 4 minutes and
39 seconds. Good luck listening to that.
4. Grenade Accent (Bruno Mars - Grenade Cover)
Vhat the Vfackh? |
Okay, I am finally convinced; webcams are evil tools that
are able to make people do horrible things in front of them. The issue of
this particular video is that she/he is not actually singing it (at least, for
me), but she/he is chanting it! Not only that, she/he is doing some choreographs
to make it feel more fucking intense (Remember the Les Miserables? or Phantom
of the Opera?). And by god, on the part “gave
you all I had and you tossed it in the trash”, she picked up a tissue paper
and fucking tossed it! Literally! Twice! (On both pre-chorus) Also, most people
found his/her Indian accent very funny (check out the comments).
3. He said Touch His Body (Touch My Body - Mariah Carrey Cover)
Okay, first and foremost, I am Asian. I have nothing against
our race. With over 10million+ views, words cannot express how I feel about
this dude named Kim Dong Won, singing Mariah Carrey’s song. His timid voice is
so annoying that it became amusingly entertaining. The worst/best thing about
his rendition is his unintentionally hilarious accent that completely changed the
tone of the song. Honestly I don’t know the purpose of this whole joke. So,
without further bullshits, I’ll let you decide what it is.
2. Tik Tok gone Wrong (Ke$ha’s Tiktok Cover)
hey guys!... i'm the new woo girl in town! wanna parteeyy?! |
She holds the 2nd place on our list because, well-.
We don’t know what’s going on inside her brain while doing this video. But with
over 25million+ views and almost 170k+ thumbs down (not mentioning that the majority
of the comments are like switchblades that can tear down even a dragon’s ribcage), it's quite impossible to find her on any parties which is the complete opposite of her song.
1. Extraterrestrial, literally (E.T. by Katy Perry Cover)
imma give you mah outta dis' wald sweetness til' you got diabetus murika! |
What’s the best adjective for H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu again?
Right, it’s the term Cosmic Horror. Fairly similar on the 2nd one, this
woman only known as Nana Davis (I don’t even know if that’s her real name)
holds the cake for the worst cover video on the YouTube. With a groundbreaking
29million+ hits, and heart piercing 230k+ thumbs down, no one can beat our
crowned champion of the worst covers ever. Well, my dear fellow kinsmen, I can pretty much tell you that this one is not worth watching. But what the heck, I'll just post it here if you are still very determined to waste 4 minutes and 4 seconds of your lives (If you'd ask me, I'd rather waste that time in a more productive way, like staring at the Google logo for 4 minutes and 4 seconds. Here's the link if I convinced you).
