十年盘点 | 因YouTube而火的红人们

    贾斯丁•比伯

    成为喜剧中心吐槽大会的被吐槽对象，最能说明一个人的走红程度，而流行歌手贾斯丁•比伯在2015年3月就受到了这一待遇。他成为了史诺普•道格、玛莎•斯图尔特和喜剧演员克里斯•德埃利亚等名人刻薄玩笑的对象。德埃利亚说：“你简直就是个拥有一切的人，除了获得尊敬、爱情、朋友、好的父母和格莱美奖。”

    2008年，比伯现在的经纪人斯科特•布劳恩在YouTube视频中看到了他，并把他发掘了出来。如果不是这样，比伯可能永远不会像现在这样名扬四海。两年后，他的首张大碟“My World”卖出了超过100万张。他从未停止过自己的远大梦想，即使在2013年参观安妮之家（Anne Frank House）博物馆时，他也在留言簿上写道：“安妮是一个好女孩。希望她能成为我的粉丝。”

    Justin Bieber

    There is no surer sign that one has hit the big time than when one becomes the subject of a Comedy Central Roast, the fate that befell pop singer Justin Bieber in March 2015. He became the butt of cruel jokes by such celebrities as Snoop Dogg, Martha Stewart and comedian Chris D'Elia, who said, "You literally are a guy who has it all, except for respect, love, friends, good parents and a Grammy."

    Bieber would never have reached the dizzying heights of stardom had he not first been plucked from obscurity in 2008 by his current manager, Scooter Braun, who had seen his YouTube videos. Just two years later, he had sold over one million copies of his debut CD, “My World,” and he has never stopped dreaming big, even when visiting the Anne Frank House in 2013, where he wrote in the guestbook, “Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber.”
