十年盘点 | 因YouTube而火的红人们

    夏瑞丝

    YouTube让西半球的目光投向了那些不常被关注到的地区的艺术家，比如这位菲律宾歌手夏尔曼•夏瑞丝•瑞路可•本贝克。

    她更为人所知的名字是夏瑞丝。2005年，她参加了菲律宾的选秀节目《Little Big Star》，节目视频随后被上传至YouTube，并最终获得1300万次浏览量，这让她得到了在《Ellen音乐秀》和《奥普拉脱口秀》上登台献艺的机会，尽管那时她当时只有十几岁。

    与安德烈•波切利和席琳•迪翁合作表演二重唱后，她于2010年加入了美剧《欢乐合唱团》，扮演其中的一名菲律宾交换生。幸运的是，他们没有因为夏瑞丝在2009年的电影《鼠来宝2》中客串配音而抵制她。

    Charice

    YouTube has brought the attention of the Western Hemisphere to artists from parts of the world that don’t often get it, as in the case of Filipina singer Charmaine Clarice Relucio Pempengco.

    Better known simply as Charice, she found that videos of her 2005 appearance on the Filipino talent competition “Little Big Star” had not only made it to YouTube, but had been viewed 13 million times, prompting performances on “Ellen” and “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” all while she was still very much a teenager.

    After going on to perform duets with Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion, she joined the cast of “Glee” in 2010, playing a Filipina exchange student. Luckily, they didn’t hold her brief appearance in 2009’s “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel” against her.
