YouTube Awards: Chris Crocker Loses for Britney Spears Freak-Out
Friday March 21, 2008
Friday March 21, 2008
Chris Crocker — who became a YouTube sensation for his freak-out over Britney Spears — now may really have something to cry about.
He lost out in the best commentary category at yesterday’s second annual YouTube awards, which recognize the top user-created videos of 2007. (Michael Buckley of the hit online show "What the Buck?" took home the honor for slamming fellow YouTube star Lonelygirl15.)
"Chocolate Rain — the YouTube clip that got musician Tay Zonday booked on national TV shows and received more than 16 million views — won for "Best Music Video."
Zonday told the Associated Press he hopes to earn "a living making art and producing music" and is pursuing a voice-over career.
What's the key to a great YouTube video?
"Just be very authentic and put yourself out there," he said. "You'll never know what will happen."
YouTube users voted on six nominees for each category: music, sports, comedy, instructional, short film, inspirational, commentary, creative, politics, series, eyewitness and "adorable."

I know that Chris is "famous" and i actually enjoy watching him, he makes good points in most of his videos, but you overlooked Michael, he is GREAT at what he does and he is by far my favorite youtuber of all time.

i find it ironic that this particular "magazine" (if that's what you wanna call it) would reflect more about Chris and less about Buck (who i luv)...
... he constantly slams Us for their poor content (Hill, Britney, white trash, nobody related junk... the usual)

Why is it that one of the most popular winners, Michael Buckley's What the Buck Show on YouTube, is only portrayed as being the "other" guy who beat out Chris Crocker?? Unlike crybaby Crocker, Buckley has a great page that is CONSISTENTLY funny, entertaining, and engaging. No wonder he won!! He DESERVED to win, and certainly deserved better accolades in the US news about it, rather than posting the weary photo we've all seen of Crocker's mascara running. Where was Michael Buckley's great smiling face?
Next time I'll just go read that other trash magazine to see the guy I voted for. Hrmph.

I think Buck totally deserved to win other than some half crazed person whining about someone for attention... kinda ironic (Lonely girl sucks) I had to have it. Seriously the two styles are totally different one is professional and one is a professional lunatic.

One thing Chris has in common with his idol Brittany is that they are both crazy!

That "Chocolate Rain" song could've been a big hit in the 80s.
