Lol....turkey Cuts Off Youtube(again)

[SCUDSBROTHER]

All I know is my friend can't go on youtube because the Turkish Government has cut it off by court order(censorship as usual .)This is the 3rd time that they know best what their people should have a right to see....DUH......I think it's cuz tennis star Baghdatis chanted anti Turkish slogans in a party(after he beat Safin in 5 sets.) That video is on youtube,and I think the Turks demand it not be,but not sure if that's the reason they cut it off.I read what he might have said.He may have said the only good Turk is a ....well you know the rest,but don't know if he said it.Just know for sure he chanted for Turks to get out of Cyprus.The hate between these 2 groups (Greeks -Turks) is off the scale.

Is this the guy who does the "Hit Song?"

Is he past the u-tube stage?

You really think he's good?

You really think that's a hit song?

Yes,it's the guy who does the hit song.I think it will eventually be a hit song,but it needs a lot of production stuff.There is a dead hole in the song from 2:50-3:10...It will need to be filled with instrumental,or a vocal bridge.I told him to just end it at 3:10,but it was impossible to get him to do it(or to give me a vocal piece to bridge it.He n' his girlfriend teamed up against me on that.So,therefore ,he sits there for 20 seconds,and then starts the last chorus.My guess is he knows it's a mistake,but won't admit it.........Do I think he is good? He has never had a music class.Obviously he can mimic better than a parrot.His voice has been changing for the last 6 months.That's why you'll see such a difference between his voice in "With You" versus "NO ONE." The biggest problem he has is range.It's really not a problem,because his natural voice tone is better than 90% of pro singers.So ,really he should sing easy songs.It's all he has to do,but he wants to sing all these rangey rnb songs,and that (at times)results in him having the voice problems you can see in some of the songs.The cracking,the vibrato etc...He says is due to his voice going thru a 2nd change.That may be part of it,but I think he sings hi notes that he shouldn't be trying to sing until his voice stablilizes.When people sing all their notes with the same (or very close to it) part of their vocal chords,then they force something fat to be something thin.To make hi notes,he uses the middle of his chord instead of the thinner hi part of his chord.This is a common thing to do,and this is why Kelly Clarkson couldn't sing the night she won American Idol.She learned to do something else(called mixing I think.) Anyways,yea,he is very good.You're seeing somebody sing under circumstances that very few people could control their voice enough to be singing at all.He has natural presence in front of a camera.Honestly,he is a freak in regards to that.You're just not gunna find many people better in front of a camera.He is a natural actor,bullshitter,whatever you want to call it.The way you can easily measure that is no matter how poorly he sings,he rarely gets bad comments.Also,you're the 1st to ask about the "hit song" notation.That says a lot about the performer in question.How many arguments do we get into on here? A lot.You would think the 1st thing people would do is say this guy isn't any good.You're the 1st to even bring it up.That's not about me.That's about the confidence he puts out.He has the ability to get people to like or respect him.The ones that don't evidently don't want to attack him.A lot of it has to do with the music being out of people's comfort zone.This is not the target audience for him.I recognize this is not the style of music enjoyed by the majority on here.To me ,his biggest weakness is a limited audience to draw from.I don't worry about any of the stuff other than that.I know how good he is with whatever voice he has to work with.I do worry about the audience that will accept him though.With his looks,and singing the style he likes,we are limited (especially in this country.)Gunna be 80% Female and young.So,that's the problem.It's a real big problem.Europe will be better for him to break in.Every singer wants to get signed now.He is no different,but I think he is 2 years away from being ready to handle it.He is in Turkey.He has never traveled much.I don't know if he has ever visited any countries other than Germany or Turkey.He is not gunna get signed unless he moves here or Europe(and performs for industry people.)People get signed while on youtube,but they perform for industry people.I think he'll get signed quickly after performing for industry types.The problem is getting him out of Turkey.That's the biggest problem.His issues aren't talent related.There are far less talented people making livings as singers.He argues with people.He has problems,but I don't have any doubts about his ability as a singer.Leaving his mom alone for 1 frikn' night..That's a problem....I guess one parent single child situations get a lil weird.This is the problem....2 YEARS(needs it.) Feel free to give me a negative quote.He'll work harder when I give it to him.I am gunna take the "hit song" notation down.I wanted to see how long before somebody questioned it.A lot of singers would have had it questioned in 2 days.This guy? What 6 weeks?

I like the part where the taxi driver is trying to get them killed,and they just laugh about it.


By the way,the singer says it is the Baghdatis video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fyEr...eature=related

Which has caused Turkey to block youtube in the country. In the video,he just says "TURKS OUT OF CYPRUS." I don't know why that's considered unique or reason to cut access off,but who knows.Weird country.Told ya they're weird (cubed.) Here is a Turkish video response to the Baghdatis video.The hi production quality,and butchered English is proof of Turkish authenticity.They are big fans of the four letter word beginning with an f.So,don't watch it if that is a word you aren't as fond of.

Oh,this one is the best,Russian Poster-Art style illustrations.He still butchers English,but atleast has some production quality.
