Worldwide Hits





Single Ladies vs Rappers Delight... which video did you prefer and why? Both of these videos became instant YouTube sensations worldwide... why do think that is? YouTube was created by 3 people in February 2005, and Google purchased it for $1.65 billion dollars in November 2006. Can you remember life before YouTube? How often do you get on YouTube? In your opinion, why has YouTube been such a big hit?

It's cute, but I don’t really care for them. People like puppies, babies, anything small and cute for the most part, so having a video with something cute would generally attract the world. Life before YouTube for me was about the same, except for the occasional funny video. I don’t get on YouTube very much; it hasn't been a huge deal for me. I think YouTube as been such a big hit because it’s a worldwide was to show how one feels on a subject, or how there personality is different from everyone else.

I preferred the first video because it was actually real. It shows a baby dances to a music video because he is mimicking it. I think that these videos became so popular on YouTube because it shows babies doing things and people like to see unbelievable acts like that. In my opinion I think that YouTube is so popular because you can look up a video on almost anything and watch it. The website is entertaining and also informing and I think those are two things that people enjoy doing the most. I don’t really get on YouTube anymore and do not remember before it came out.

I like the Single Ladies video the best. These videos probably became instant YouTube sensations because they are both cute. I can remember life before YouTube. I get on YouTube about once every two weeks; it just depends on if I have something to watch. I think YouTube has become such a big hit because it is a free and easy way to watch videos.

I liked the Single Ladies video better because it was more real life. I think these videos became instant YouTube material because you don't see many babies dancing like this. It's also hilarious. I think I can remember life before YouTube. I don't get on it a lot, so it wouldn't be a huge loss. It's been a big hit because it's easy to see a a clip of a video instantly.

I prefer the Single Ladies because it was cute watching the little baby dance. Little babies are already cute to watch but watching them dance made them more of a hit. Before YouTube came out I use to always use A.O.L. or Yahoo to watch music video and other videos. I usually get on YouTube once a week just to preoccupy myself. YouTube had been such a big hit because you can watch just about anything you want up their. -Alia H

I loved the Single Ladies video. I believe the reason they became instant YouTube sensations because they are about babieds and the first one is very cute and the second one is just something you wouldn't see babies doing. To be honest I do, we would record each other doing things and have to show every body one person at a time. I get on YouTube all the time to watch litle videos. YouTube has became a big hit because people like to express them self through videos.

I liked the beyonce video better because its real and adorable. Simple little immitations that babies do are adorable. CG commercials arn't as entertaining as real because anyone can make it happen and we are all used to it. Precious moments are 1,000,000,000 times better than CG. I remember life before my family even had a computer and even now I tend not to be on it much. I don't get on it very often. I think Youtube has become a big hit because people are bored and don't want to be creative but entertained.

I liked Rappers Delight better. But I do have to say, CGI's of babies roller blading wasn't original. I can't remember life without YouTube. I get on YouTube almost every day. Life would be boring without YouTube. YouTube is a hit, because you can find almost anything on it.

I prefered the Single Ladies video, it was real, and very cute. Because it's cute when a baby does stuff that if anyone else did it, you would be like what in the world are they doin. Youtube has many video's of everyday life, but they are entertaining, before youtube we just had to wait to see something like that or watch it on the television. I dont get on youtube that much unless there is something I really wanna see, or if I'm looking for something to show someone. I think that youtube has been a big hit because it is entertaining, and many people post videos on youtube of a variety of things.

I really like that baby dancing on the table I means he was really getting that leg up in the air. Aother thing I like about that baby was holding on that table really good. I also like that other baby with the skating on now that was so cool. So I really like the baby dancing with the single ladies and other baby skating too. I think the baby was really happy. brittany eley

I enjoyed the Single Ladies video. Just seeing a little baby dance would attract anyone's attention. I think this became a YouTube sensation because just seeing a baby dance to one of Beyounce's singles would grab anyone's attention. Life before YouTube was boring, because you could not see other peoples hilarious videos. I usually get on YouTube everyday to listen to new music and watch hilarious videos. YouTube has been a big hit because people can watch videos that they enjoy and listen to their favorite genre of music.

I don't get on YouTube that often. I'm sure a lot of people like it though. YouTube has probably been such a big hit because people enjoy being able to watch free videos.

I like the first video better. It was something you'd see on America's Funniest Home Videos. I don't really remember when YouTube became a big thing. Then again I never really used the Internet until my freshman year. I don't personally ever use YouTube unless I'm looking for a song. Since I have dial up, it's a pain to even try. I think that YouTube has been such a big hit because it's another form of entertainment.

I prefer the Single Ladies video because it is real. For some reason the other rapper video didn’t really interest me. The reason is probably because it was computer animated and I could tell from the start of the video. I think that both of these videos became popular on you tube because it’s not everyday that you would see a baby acting in such a way. You tube has been a huge hit since the year 2005 when it first was created. It was a big hit especially with teens. It’s not unusual to see a teen on You Tube on their free time just looking for crazy videos that people have posted.

I preferred Single Ladies video because it was more fun watching a real baby dance than it was with animated babies. I think that both of the videos became instant YouTube sensations worldwide because they both make people laugh and when people see something that makes them laugh it makes them want to show people. I do not remember life before YouTube. I use YouTube when I look for videos, to watch people mime, and also to look up lyrics for a song. YouTube has been such a big hit because it shows many talents from different people.

I preferred the single ladies video because it was a real baby instead of computerize babies. I think it became worldwide on YouTube is because everybody wants to see what babies can do this day in age. Yeah I can remember time before YouTube. I don't get on youtbube a lot.

Rappers Delight was so much better. They were really cute, that's probably why they became sensations. I actually don't use YouTube a lot at all. I want to but my internet doesn't load the videos well. Youtube does have some really funny stuff up there though, and everybody loves laughing.

After watching the videos I like the single ladies one better. They were both cute but the Beyonce one was real and you could tell. The 2nd one you could really tell it was fake and some stuff didn't even go with what a baby would do. I’m not sure why people use YouTube so much. I rarely ever do, except for in this class. I know people that are on it all day at home just to look at random stuff. To me the only reason YouTube has became so popular is because of bored people or like me in class.

I would prefer to watch Rapper Delight. The reason I would is that, I don't really like Beyonce and to me it was not really that funny. I think the reason these two videos became "YouTube sensations worldwide", was because I guess there little babies dancing and most think they are cute I guess... I get on YouTube when I can't find a song and I want to listen to it instantly instead of buying or downloading it. YouTube has been a big hit because number it is free music, videos, and you comment and stuff on it also. I guess it's just a fun way to express your ideas and opinion to the world...

I think that the Rapper's Delight video was a little more entertaining that the Single Ladies video. I believe that videos like these become famous instantly because many people love babies and these videos really show off their cuteness. Life before Youtube was not quite as bad as people may expect it to have been. I think people would have been much more miserable without Myspace. I only get on Youtube about once a week, but I believe that Youtube is so popular because people can use it to see videos or commercials that they missed.

I preferred the Rappers Delight because it was so unreal but hilarious, but they were both great. I didn't know which one to choose. I think they became instant sensations because one , everyone loves babies, and two, they are so funny. My life without Youtube is kind of the same it is now, like I never get on it. In my opinion Youtube has been a big hit because i thas vidoes for everything like "how to" videos and then just silly videos.

The rappers delight was better than single ladies but they were both really good. It's to cute that babies dance like that. Life before YouTube, really I honestly don't know how anyone could live without YouTube. Whenever your down or depressed just go on YouTube and I’m sure you can find something funny that will cheer you up. I normally get on YouTube everyday sometimes every other day. YouTube has been such a big hit in my opinion because you can watch videos for free and put your own videos up there too. I think YouTube was a positive effect on the internet.

I think the Rappers Delight was better. It was cute and funny. I think they both came instant YouTube sensations because, they're really cute and funny. I remember life before YouTube. It was when I was really young and had no idea about the Internet. It was when I spent most of my day making mud pies. I rarely get on YouTube unless Caleb wants me to watch something while I'me at his house. I think that YouTube has become such a big hit because, you can watch anything instantly whenever you want to.

I think the baby dancing to single ladies was the funniest because its really cute. I love to see little babies dance. I think they both became instant YouTube sensations because everyone loves cute babies especially cute babies that are doing something super funny. I really don't remember anything before YouTube. YouTube is like great! I get on YouTube at least once, maybe twice a day. YouTube is such a big hit because people love it. I don't know a person who doesn't like to see someone make a complete fool of themselves. Everyone loves a funny video!

I like the roller-skating video the best because I thought it was the funniest. Life before YouTube was not fun in my opinion. Where else could you go to watch millions of funny, music, and informational videos? Personally, I get on YouTube at least once a day. YouTube has been such a big hit because it appeals to people of all ages. YouTube has made celebrities and it has embarrassed people all over the world and it is probably the most popular thing on the internet today.-Nick Powell™

So much was funny out of both of the video's. I will never2 which one I like the most at all. For the single ladies one I think that the baby was really get it in the video. It was so0 cute seen him dance to the music.For the other one kind trip me out just to see the babies gt down like young people.To me both of the video's was very cute and funny to me. I will really like to see one of my nephew dance to a song I like. Babies make the money people watch things like that what will be funny. It was kind of whack most people want see things like that.

I personally liked the baby and Beyonce video because it was soo cute. The baby and Beyonce video was also real unlike the Skating babies. I can remember life before YouTube and I don't see it as much of a difference because honestly I really rarely get on Youtube. I think Youtube is a big hit because it gives people the opportunity to create crazy home videos and post them online.

My favorite video is the Rappers delight because it was more entertainment in the video. Because people like to watch babies dance. Life before Youtube was okay. I get on Youtube about 3 time a week. Because you get to watch and put video on the website.

I prefer The Rappers Delight video because it was very interesting. Many people would probably want to see for themselves the dancing and skating babies. Maybe they also wanted a good laugh. I can't remember life before youtube because I never really got on the internet in 2005. I get on youtube when I'm bored but I guess about twice a month. Youtube has been a big hit because you can search videos to make you laugh and cry.

I love both the videos, both funny and cute! Although, I prefer the "Single Ladies" because it looks more realistic (: I think they both became instant sensations because mostly everyone loves babies and they both are adorable! Well, I kind of remember life before YouTube but it isn't clear. I get on YouTube everyday! I love it and I think it is helpful, fun, and diverse.

I think I like the baby dancing to the Beyonce’s video. I think these videos became instant sensations because they are both funny, and now a day people could use a good laugh. I can remember life without YouTube because when I would get on the internet it would get kind of boring, because all I could really do was get on MySpace and play doll games. I get on YouTube quit often because they have a lot of funny videos and I love to laugh. I think YouTube has become such a big hit, because like I said before people make funny videos and everybody needs a good laugh. I also think it has been so successful because not only can you look at funny videos, but you could also look at informative videos.

Well I hate rap so I choose the Single Ladies because the music is better. Both videos became instant hits because they have babies in them as the main characters. Yes I can actually and because I barely go to You Tube it would have never made a difference in my life if it wasn't created. I barely get on You Tube because it never has the videos I search for. You Tube has been a big hit because people like watching many types of videos and You Tube haves that kind of diversity. James St. Peter
