A Year of Gangnam Style

It's pretty amazing to see that a song from Korea was able to take the top spot on the ever dominating platform that is Youtube, a website that has launched a bunch of people into the spotlight with their content creation, whether it be music, comedy videos, how to videos, playing video games videos, or doing a multitube (lol I meant to put to multitude** but that works well haha) of different content all centered around getting people's attention, but not only that but helping to keep people entertained, it is a surprising idea that some seemingly unimportant singer from Korea with no particularly remarkable looks or singing style was able to find so much success on the internet, (the internet is one unpredictable chick) in reality what makes it more important is that Psy is unlike much of what is coming out of Korea (see Big Bang, SNSD, as well as what we have here in the States, many singers rely a lot on their looks to gain the notoriety in order to get famous, this country is very centered around looks and beauty, but despite that somehow Psy was able to dominate a market that isn't normally that open to Asians, especially overweight Asians even.  We have hardly any leading men of Asian descent able to have their own movies, often stuck in roles as the supporting characters, even sometimes a quick glimpse or a stereotype, and in comparison to the top musical celebrities Asians are sadly overlooked, or not counted at all and it is really tough for them to really break out and grab the spotlight. As I'm typing this I can hardly think of one person who has broken this sad trend, besides Psy of course. He is hopefully a change that is very much needed, despite how many people are adverse to him and his "style" he was able to dominate Youtube, not once, but twice and he might be able to do it again. The first time he was the first person to surpass the Biebs with "Gangnam Style," which can bring a tear to my eye haha, with it's current whopping 1,719,655,194 views, but then he did it again with his follow up single to his new album, which I found out recently, it was the first song to gain 38 Million views in a single day, though it is not currently close to the amount of views of Gangnam, Psy is the first to break two records on Youtube and might be the last for some time, at least until the next sensation sweeps the internet. Well I didn't want to go on too long, so until next time - J. Blue
