YouTube Film "Life in a Day" Streams Live on YouTube and Will be Available on Theatres Soon

YouTube Film "Life in a Day" is the collaboration made by Director Kevin Macdonald and Executive Producer Ridley Scott. The idea based on that about one year ago, YouTube users were asked to upload a video reflecting a day in their life. And during one year, people from all over the world uploaded about 80,000 videos with about 4,500 hours of footage. And the outcome "Life in a Day" runs about 90 minutes. It is remarked as a historic cinematic experiment to create a document film about a single day on earth. Collecting stories, laughter, tears from all over the world, this can be said as a representative of one-day-life of human being. People talking about love and hatred, courage and fear, betray and tolerant, etc on the videos and what they are talking about has been put into the 90-minute film.


YouTube is actually a library of human experiences, every day thousands of people upload video to YouTube. What they uploaded are about interesting pets, cute babies, talented people, weird matters, etc, which do actually enrich people online life to a large extent. Every hour, every minute, every second of individuals calling out to the world, asking to be noticed. The film switches between fast-paced montages of the mundane — eating, sleeping, going to the bathroom — and short scenes letting the viewer linger on certain lives.

Maybe unlike other great Hollywood movies, the emotional climax often rides in on a wave. These are daily life trivial matters, while seeing it will be a gorgeous experience as if seeing yourself acting in the film.

YouTube film "Life in a Day" coming to theaters

The film "Life in a Day", which is presented by YouTube and National Geographic premieres on Friday, July 29, in select theaters.

Watch the trailer here and see it in theaters starting today in the UK and next month July 29 in the U.S. Download this video via free YouTube Downloader and YouTube Downloader for Mac. Or you can convert video to other devices with video converter (here is the guide). Enjoy!!!

Amy Winehouse Dead: Talented Singer Gains Fame with "Back to Black"

Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London apartment Saturday (July 23), her publicist confirmed to CNN. The U.K. singer was 27 years old.

Since news of her death broke, fans have been gathering outside of her London home to add their personal tokens to a makeshift memorial. There was no word as to when, or if, there would be a public funeral for the Grammy-winning singer. Winehouse’s albums have increased a whopping 37-fold between the 24-hour period between Friday and Saturday, Official Charts Company Director Martin Talbot told the Sydney Morning Herald.

Released in Britain in the fall of 2006, "Back to Black" brought Winehouse global fame. Working with producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi and soul-funk group the Dap-Kings, Winehouse fused soul, jazz, doo-wop and, above all, a love of the girl-groups of the early 1960s with lyrical tales of romantic obsession and emotional excess. "Back to Black" was released in the United States in March 2007 and went on to win five Grammy awards, including song and record of the year for "Rehab".
Following the success of Back to Black, Winehouse toured the world, and began a star-crossed (and much-covered) relationship with a former video-production assistant named Blake Fielder-Civil. The talented star struggled publicly for years with drugs and alcohol abuse, and often sang about her bouts with addiction, as her best-selling album “Back to Black” chronicles.

Searches for Amy Winehouse rise dramatically on YouTube, here are music videos from YouTube, you can download these music videos to appreciate the pop singer's music talent. Mac users can take advantage of YouTube Downloader for Mac (how to download tutorial), while Windows users can resort to Free YouTube Downloader (how to download tutorial), or if you want to enjoy her music videos on other portable devices, for instance, iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc., you can make use of video converter to convert video downloaded to the compatible video formats.

Amy Winehouse: Rehab



Lyrics


They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

I'd rather be at home with ray
I ain't got seventy days
Cause there's nothing
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway

I didn't get a lot in class
But I know it don't come in a shot glass

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

The man said 'why do you think you here'
I said 'I got no idea
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lose my baby
so I always keep a bottle near'
He said 'I just think you're depressed,
this me, yeah baby, and the rest'

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know

I don't ever wanna drink again
I just ooh I just need a friend
I'm not gonna spend ten weeks
have everyone think I'm on the mend

It's not just my pride
It's just 'til these tears have dried

They tried to make me go to rehab but I said 'no, no, no'
Yes I've been black but when I come back you'll know know know
I ain't got the time and if my daddy thinks I'm fine
He's tried to make me go to rehab but I won't go go go

Amy WinehouseBack To Black


Lyrics


He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to.....

I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

Download Rebecca Black My Moment MP3 and Music Video From YouTube

Rebecca Black - My Moment screengrab
'Friday' pop sensation Rebecca Black is in the spotlight again. Though her famous "Friday" music video is no longer available on YouTube, her popularity can be seen still unabated.

As I wrote last week, Rebecca Black was ready to release her second song and music video "My Moment". Now the wait is over, "My Moment" music video finally debuted on Rebecca's Official YouTube Channel today at 8 p.m. Another YouTube channel of the 14-year-old singer is also available now - http://www.youtube.com/RebeccaBVEVO. You can check her new release on these two channels.

Here is the video. Two software you can use to download Rebecca Black's My Moment music video: for Mac, you can check Leawo YouTube Downloader for Mac; for Windows, check this Free YouTube Downloader. Here is the tutorial about how to get the song from the video.


From the song's lyrics, we know that it's a self-empowerment song. "Were you the one who said that I would be nothing? Well, I'm about to prove you wrong, I'm not the only one who believes in something. My one wish is about to come true", as Rebecca sings in the beginning of the song.

The clip begins with Rebecca recording song with her young band in a studio. Then she is seen having interactive fan experiences and signing autographs to her fans. The video continues with the footage of Rebecca's hosting at MTV's Online Music Awards. Her news grab the headlines. She tours around the country to present all kinds of awards ceremonies. It also shows Black's rehearsal with some young dancers.

To be honest, both of the song and the music video of "My Moment" is much way better than "Friday", which is the most disliked video in YouTube's history. However, "My Moment" music video is still getting more dislikes than likes on YouTube. So far the video has received 57,663 dislikes vs 34,351 likes. Poor Rebecca, you still need to have some way to go.

BTW, according to a statement, "Friday" video was restored on YouTube, though it's not the original one posted on Rebecca Black's official channel.

Rebecca Black My Moment Lyrics

[Rebecca Black]
Were you the one who said that I would be nothing
Well, I'm about to prove you wrong
I'm not the only one who believes in something
My one wish is about to come true

I'm not stopping for you
No matter what you do
I'll just keep on dreaming
My head up in the clouds when nobody is around to see...

[Chorus]
This is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment

It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment

[Rebecca Black]
You knew it all along, I was afraid of you
I thought I couldn't be myself
You tried to be my friend
But I wouldn't let you
Remember what you said
Don't miss out on your chance
Your life is in your hands
So take it just as far as you can
But trusting in youself, forget everyone else


Believe...

[Chorus]
This is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment

It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows


[Bridge]
Haters, said I'll see you later
Can't talk to you right now
I'm getting my paper
Said I'm doing big things
Things you never dreamed of
I hope you are happy cause I'm 'bout to blow up

[Chorus]
This is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment

It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment

Lady Gaga Official YouTube Channel Suspended

Lady Gaga's official YouTube channel was suspended hours ago. Gaga has two accounts on YouTube. Except the official channel, she also has her VEVO channel, which has 1.6 billion views and is still available. The removed account, "ladygagaofficial", has 149,010,799 views.

People who visited the channel will get this message: " This account has been suspended due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube's Copyright Policy." YouTube declined to elaborate on the account suspension event.

According to a statement from Time Out Tokyo, Gaga's official YouTube account was suspended because "she posted footage from her recent appearance on the Fuji TV show SMAP x SMAP. The ten-minute performance featured a medley of songs from her new album, Born This Way, laced with Japan-themed ad libs". A Japanese firm titled "Media Interactive Inc." sent the copyright-infringement claim to YouTube and was responsible for the account suspension.

According to YouTube's policy, suspended account can be restored after the copyright-infringement content is removed. So I think Gaga's official YouTube account will be restored soon.

Lady Gaga is one of the most popular artists on YouTube. Gaga was the first person reaching 1 billion views milestone on YouTube's history. Having 1.6 billion views, her videos are the second most-viewed videos on YouTube. Artist who has the most-viewed videos on YouTube is Justin Bieber, having totally 1.7 billion views to date.

Sherlock Holmes 2 poster
The 2009 film "Sherlock Holmes" has been a global commerical success. Its $524,028,679 global gross has made the film a big blockbuster. So there's no doubt for Guy Ritchie to film the sequel. Now the first movie trailer of the Sherlock Holmes film sequel is available for streaming on YouTube. The film, titled Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (Sherlock Holmes 2 for short), arrives in U.S. theaters on December 16, 2011.

Sherlock Holmes 2 plot details:

Sherlock Holmes has always been the smartest man in the room... until now. There is a new criminal mastermind at large - Professor Moriarty (Jared Harris) - and not only is he Holmes' intellectual equal, but his capacity for evil, coupled with a complete lack of conscience, may actually give him an advantage over the renowned detective.

When the Crown Prince of Austria is found dead, the evidence, as construed by Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan), points to suicide. But Sherlock Holmes deduces that the prince has been the victim of murder - a murder that is only one piece of a larger and much more portentous puzzle, designed by one Professor Moriarty.

Mixing business with pleasure, Holmes tracks the clues to an underground gentlemen's club, where he and his brother, Mycroft Holmes (Stephen Fry) are toasting Dr. Watson on his last night of bachelorhood. It is there that Holmes encounters Sim (Noomi Rapace), a Gypsy fortune teller, who sees more than she is telling and whose unwitting involvement in the prince's murder makes her the killer's next target. Holmes barely manages to save her life and, in return, she reluctantly agrees to help him.

The investigation becomes even more dangerous as it leads Holmes, Watson and Sim across the continent, from England to France to Germany and finally to Switzerland. But the cunning Moriarty is always one step ahead as he spins a web of death and destruction - all part of a greater plan that, if he succeeds, will change the course of history.
