(YOU)Tube.

YouTube, YouTube, YouTube. When you think of the word viral, you should automatically think of the word YouTube; They are essentially synonymous. YouTube is a video-sharing website, which allows users to upload, view and share videos of all kinds with each other. In other words it is p2p, peer to peer. This is reality. YouTube is reality. Individuals everywhere are now able to communicate at any time, from any place, any where in the world. Millions of videos are uploaded daily and range drastically. There is anything from short webisodes (a mini-series of episodes done by regular people like you), to funny babies, to adorable pets, to music.
YouTube has been a gateway for new musicians who want to be heard. The tagline is "broadcast yourself" and that is exactly what has been done, musicians are broadcasting themselves.It is as simple as singing an original song, a cover song, or heck just anything you want and uploading it to the internet for anyone to see with the click of a button.  YouTube has opened the door to a whole new world of music. Real music. Special music. Personal music. 
People long for nothing more than to connect with other people and YouTube music allows just for that to happen. People can interact by leaving comments under the posted videos and they can even go as far as rating them. This is an amazing opportunity for anyone who thinks they can sing (or even for those that don't mind making a fool of themselves in public) because it allows for them to be seen. YouTube has introduced the world to a slew of fresh new talent that the recording industry failed to find.
If you think you've got the talent then don't be shy, upload your music today and give yourself the chance to be heard by visiting YouTube.
