Favourite YouTubers - TheEllenShow

Hey guys! Thanks for coming back to see another one of my suggestions for YouTubers to watch. I really hope you enjoy my blog so far, please feel free to comment down below any suggestions or modifications you'd love to see. Going back to this post's topic, my choice for today is TheEllenShow.



So I know what you might be thinking : "what is she talking about? TheEllenShow is clearly a television show.", and you're completely correct. Although, did you know that Ellen also has a YouTube channel where her crew posts clips from her show every time she hosts one? The channel is very popular ranking around 11,566,152 subscribers. Her channel is very efficient for me because when I get home from school, I do not have much time to sit down and watch a full episode of the Ellen Show. I love the show in general for so many reasons, one of them being because Ellen is such a funny person. Personally, I could watch Ellen all day, every day. She is also one of my all time inspirations because she has such a positive outlook on life. She cares about all of the problems people have and she tries her best to help as many people out who are suffering. On her YouTube channel, there are tons and tons of video clips separated in different playlists. To me, the best playlist of them all is "Inspiring People". This is because I love to watch videos of people who have suffered and there are people out there that care enough to help them get back on track. Ellen does exactly that for so many individuals and family's. For example, Courtney Wagner, a 17 year old with brain cancer, was sitting in the audience during one of Ellen's shows. Without knowing, Ellen surprised Courtney by asking her to present herself on stage to talk about her cancer. Courtney left the show with a check for 15,000 dollars due to her contagious positive attitude through her tough situation. When I first watched this clip on Ellen's channel, it inspired me to remember that we should have a positive attitude through life, even if we're going through a negative situation.



One night, I could not stop watching Ellen's clips on YouTube for almost 6 hours because they were so touching and entertaining to watch (I'm aware that that's A LOT of time). In conclusion, if you ever want to feel inspired or want to watch something that can make you smile or laugh, I would strongly suggest to check out TheEllenShow's YouTube channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp0hYYBW6IMayGgR-WeoCvQ .

Favourite YouTubers - Zoe and Joe Sugg

Hey guys! Thanks so much for coming back to see another one of my blog posts! I've decided that I'm going to do a few more blog posts on the topic of my favourite YouTubers, since I would love to give you guys some suggestions on good YouTubers to watch and enjoy. Therefore, in today's blog post I'm going to be talking to you about another one of my all time favourite YouTubers : Zoe and Joe Sugg.

I know what you're all thinking : "hey! That's two people", and you're right, but for today, I'm going to count them as one. Zoe Sugg is Joe's older sister and they both own a YouTube channel with more than 4,000,000 subscribers (Zoe having around 2,000,000 more subscribers than Joe). First, I'm going to talk about Zoe Sugg and why she is a great YouTuber to watch. Zoe is an amazing YouTuber that goes by the name Zoella. Her outlook on life is beautiful and you can truly tell this through her vlogs on her second channel or her collab channel with her best friend Louise. Her and Louise give advice to teenagers or those willing to ask personal questions about love, problems or life in general She also does hilarious videos like prank call videos or challenge videos with her YouTuber friends and family. Zoe re-posted a wonderful one minute video made by a fan, showing clips from her previous videos to show the world of what her channel is all about. (The link to that video is right here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26SySrPnJDY).
Zoe is incredible because most people would think that her channel is just revolved around beauty, but really, it's about her thoughts and her sense of fashion with a little bit of beauty guru on the side. I would definitely recommend you subscribe to Zoella on YouTube because her videos are worth watching, especially if you're interested in all things beauty.


Now, I'm going to talk about Zoe's brother, Joe, who goes by the username ThatcherJoe. Joe is often present on Zoe's channel when she does challenges or fun topics for her videos, same applies to Joe. He has a roommate named Caspar, who is also very popular in the YouTube community. For around 9 months now, Caspar and Joe have been having an on-going prank competition, which is very entertaining for the viewers. For example, before Caspar came home from a vacation, Joe and his friend spent all night long blowing up balloons and placing them all over Caspar's room. By the time Caspar got home, his room was completely filled with balloons and Joe's friend in a clown mask was hiding inside of them to pop up and scare Caspar. Joe Sugg does many different videos that, in my opinion, are all very funny and entertaining to view.



To conclude, I believe that Zoe and Joe are two outstanding YouTubers that you should go check out if you love fashion, beauty, prank videos, challenge videos or vlogs!

Favourite YouTubers - Lilly Signh

Hello! Glad you've stopped by to read my fourth blog post! I hope you've enjoyed my blog so far!
This time I'm going to be discussing about my favourite Youtubers.
I have quite a lot of people whom I'm subscribed to on YouTube that I enjoy watching. Most of the time, random YouTubers become my favourite ones due to the fact that they're presented in other Youtube videos created by YouTubers I've already subscribed to. To me, all of the YouTubers that I watch have something in common. They all try their hardest to create the best quality videos possible (it's their job anyway) and they're all entertaining people that anyone could relate to somehow.

One of my all time favourite YouTubers is Lilly Singh. Lilly - or her username : IIsuperwomenII - is currently 26 years old. She was born in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada on September 26 1988. Lilly began her YouTube career in 2010, and I'm glad she took that important decision in her life. She has touched many people worldwide in a positive way through her videos. Her videos can always put a smile on my face so I believe that she can brighten up anyone's day. In my opinion, all of her videos are hilarious and I can always rely on her to watch a well put together video. She is such an inspiration to many people worldwide because she constantly portrays a contagious positive attitude. She currently has 5,482,072 subscribers that watch her videos as much as they please. Another reason why love watching IIsuperwomanII's videos is because her content is beyond comparable. She is such a relate-able person for teenagers all around the globe. For example, some of her video topics were : "Types of People on Snapchat", "Types of Teenagers", and "Going Back to School After the Holidays". She continues to post videos about events that happen in her life that are hilarious to be told. In example, she told her subscribers about her flight through Air Canada that went completely horribly. She also creates videos impersonating her mother and father (who are 100% okay with her content). She impersonates them reacting to different videos trending worldwide or she has "them" in her videos to play strict, yet hilarious, Indian parents.

To conclude, Lilly is one of my all time favourite YouTubers because her videos are very easy to relate to since she's a young YouTuber that touches on teenager situations in her videos. Also, she is very funny and I believe people love watching funny people on YouTube to brighten up their day.
