YouTube Tests New Black Player Skin

YouTube video player turns black

YouTube video player's default color is always white. We've seen video players in other colors in many video websites, for example, video players of MTV.com and dailymotion.com are black. Some famous web video players, such as flowplayer and JW FLV player, offer their users the option to change the player skin's color. So, are you tired of the skin of YouTube's video player?

Recently, part of Internet users find that the YouTube player's control bar turns to black while they're watching YouTube videos, just as the above picture shown. This new YouTube player skin features dark colors, such as black and grey. So how do you like the new YouTube player?

Personally, I like it. It looks cool!

The Crossed Out Words in YouTube Search Queries

YouTube search keywords crossed out
Sometimes when you enter some words into the search box in YouTube to search videos, you will find that some of the keywords are crossed out, as the picture shown above.

YouTube doesn't elaborate why this happens. Below are some conclusions that I draw from analytics:
  1. The crossed out words have no search result.
  2. The crossed out words are not related to the search session.
  3. The crossed out words are useless or needless which implies you that do not use those keywords in later search.

This feature is nice. But I don't think it's suitable for Google search, as it's almost impossible to find keywords that have no search result in Google search.

Download Chris Brown - Next To You ft. Justin Bieber MP3

Chris Brown and Justin Bieber
R&B star Chris Brown collaborates with Justin Bieber for the second time to make music video of Brown's latest song "Next to You", which is a single of his fourth studio album "F.A.M.E". "Next 2 You" was first seen online on March 8, 2011. Its music video premiered last on June 17th at VEVO.


"Next to You" music video is also available on YouTube. The video was uploaded to YouTube on June 17 and has managed 8.8 million views. You can watch it from the video below. This is the link to download the song - Next to You (feat. Justin Bieber). You can also download Chris Brown's "Next 2 You" music video and this is the link.


Colin Tilley directed the music video and filmed it at the Universal Studios in Los Angeles. Brown and Bieber performed everything so well, singing, dancing and acting. We can call it an epic music video. It's not just a video, but also a short movie, as it depicts several events and stories.


"Next to You" music video takes the apocalypse in New York as background. At the beginning of the video, we can see Brown and Brown's girl friend (Shannon Elizabeth), Bieber and his girl friend; they are living happy lives. The girls leave, then the earth begins to tremble, the buildings fall to the ground, and lightning strikes in the gloomy and cloudy sky. Both Brown and Bieber rush onto the street to find their girl friends. Bieber's girl friend is forbidden from meeting Bieber by her father, while Brown's girl friend was trapped in the disaster. Brown and Bieber sing and dance among the ruins showing their desire to meet their loved ones. Then Brown's girl friend is seen hit by a car, upon his arrival to the city, he makes a dramatic jump to save her, and Bieber's girlfriend runs away from her father and finally finds Bieber and shares a kiss with him. Brown lost her girl friend in the car accident.


Lyrics of Chris Brown - Next To You ft. Justin Bieber


[Chris Brown]
You've got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
That you keep that smile.


[Justin Bieber]
Yeah, you are my dream,
There's not a thing I won't do.
I'll give my life up for you,
Cos you are my dream.


[Bridge]
And baby, everything that I have is yours,
You will never go cold or hungry.
I'll be there when you're insecure,
Let you know that you're always lovely.
Girl, cos you are the only thing that I got right now


[Chorus]
One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.


[Chris Brown]
You had my child,
You make my life complete.
Just to have your eyes on little me,
That'd be mine forever.


[Bridge]
And baby, everything that I have is yours
You will never go cold or hungry
I'll be there when you're insecure
Let you know that you're always lovely
Girl, cos you are the only thing that I got right now


[Chorus]
One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.


[Bridge]
We're made for one another
Me and you
And I have no fear
I know we'll make it through


One day when the sky is falling
I'll be standing right next to you
Ohh ohh ohh ohhhhh


[Chorus]
One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.


Oh nah nah
Oh yeah
Stand by my side
When the sky falls
Oh baby
I'll be there


You've got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
To keep you forever.

Download Shakira - Rabiosa ft. Pitbull from Amazon

Shakira - Rabiosa artwork
Hello music fans, come get a little closer and I'm gonna share you with  Shakira's latest hit – Rabiosa. It's a bilingual song serving as the third single of Shakira's seventh studio album - Sale el Sol (English: The Sun Comes Out). Featuring Pitbull and El Cata, "Rabiosa" is currently the hottest tune in the Internet.

The song is catchy and great. The music video is even greater. Here is the music video for "Rabiosa" and you really should not miss it. On YouTube, the music video has drawn 17 million views since it premiered on the site on June 7, 2011. Now you can download Shakira – Rabiosa (feat. Pitbull) music video from YouTube with YouTubeGet or AllMyTube for Mac.


Well, the song is mixed with styles of Latin house, hip hop and a little of merengue. I admit that I abused the Replay button. I've played "Rabiosa" at least 10 times. It's a song that is irresistible. Well, regarding to the name of the song - "Rabiosa", which is Spanish; in English, it means "Rabid". As mentioned above, the song is available in two languages - English and Spanish. Shakira teams up with Pitbull made the English version. The Spanish version, Shakira made it with El Cata. There are also some Spanish lines in the English version of the song, such as "i want you amarrao aqui" and "Bite me en la boca".

Of course, I like the tune of "Rabiosa", but I like the music video more though Pitbull did not appear in it. Directed by Jaume de Laiguana, the music video of "Rabiosa" was shot from April 26 to April 28, 2011 in Barcelona, Spain. It's a surprise to see Shakira's poll-dancing in the visual. Jesus Christ! She is so sexy! It turns out that Shakira can be so hot! Is she the woman who dances in "Waka Waka"? Yes, she is. She is the angel and the sexy goddess.

The song received favorable reviews. Jennifer Schaffer from Standford Daily prises the song that "One of the best tracks on the album is "Rabiosa," featuring Pitbull's familiar interjections. It's exactly the kind of undeniably sexy song you'd expect from a Shakira/Pitbull collaboration, a smart and seductive dance mix that won't let your hips sit still. Pitbull's raspy raps mesh well with Shakira's sultry moans and invitations to 'come get a little closer.'"

Yes, I agree with it and like this comment. I believe that "Rabiosa" will be the No.1 party-dancing hit in this summer.

Lyrics of Shakira – Rabiosa ft. Pitbull

If you don't get enough i ll make it double
I got my boy in big, big trouble
You know i want ya, atracao ahi.
ratata
You got a lot of the sex appeal,
dont play along because I'm for real.
you see that road isn`t meant for me
you know i want you amarrao aqui

Oh ya papi, you're like a mocha,
Come get a little closer and bite me en la boca
Oh ya papi, you're like a mocha,
Come get a little closer and bite me en la boca.

Rabiosa.
Rabiosa.
Come pull me closer.

Just say rabiosa, rabiosa.
Come pull me closer.

Rabiosa, if you don't get enough i`ll make it double

Pitbull:
I'm trying to have fun, i love you, but you want me atracao, ratata

You got a lot of sex appeal,
I don't play baby, I'm for real

Shakira:

Come get a little closer and bite me en la boca

Shakira:
Oh ya papi, you're like a mocha,
Come get a little closer and bite me en la boca

Pitbull:

Come get a little closer and bite me en la boca

Shakira:
Oh ya papi, you're like a mocha,
Come get a little closer and bite me en la boca

Uh-huh, Uh-huh
Uh-huh, Uh-huh.

YouTube Begins to Teach its Partners to Get Videos Viral

YouTube news
Previously in this March, Google's subsidiary YouTube acquired video production team Next New Networks to help their partners to create more attractive, high quality and viral videos. It seems that YouTube is very eager to its video quality. According to The New York Times, YouTube makes another move toward some excellent video creators – to teach them the video making skills.

YouTube called up some video partners to New York to teach them some tricks and skills about how to create viral videos. Some tricks are seemingly rather useful, such as don't upload your videos to YouTube on Friday afternoon and contact key bloggers via Email to ask them to post a link to your video. By doing this, video creators can bring out more viral videos and drive higher traffic to YouTube, so that YouTube can earn more money from video advertising, which is the reason why YouTube made this boot camp for their partners.

So far few people can make six figures income a year purely from video making. It's very difficult to directly make big money from video. A good viral video needs several things: good idea, video editing skills and some relevant equipment. So YouTube needs to solve these problems for its video contributors, so that they have the motivation and money to generate more high quality videos.

Download Linkin Park - Iridescent Music Video

Linkin Park - Iridescent artwork
On June 3, Linkin Park presented us their latest music video for "Iridescent", which is set to be the theme song of the forthcoming film Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Previously, Linkin Park released "Iridescent" as the fourth single in their fourth studio album "A Thousand Sun" on May 27, 2011. Then the song was chosen to be the Transformers 3's theme song.

Music video of "Iridescent" premiered on MTV.com on June 3. You can also find it in The Official Linkin Park YouTube Channel. To download Linkin Park - Iridescent music video from YouTube, you can use this YouTube downloader for Mac or youtube downloader for Windows.


Now that you have watched the video which is entirely in black-and-white, so do you understand the concept of it? Got any idea of the video? You can write it down in the comment section. Well, here I'm gonna share what I know about the video. First of all, there are several main elements in the music video: the one-eyed king, the throne made of antlers, the snake, the white dogs, the Linkin Park band having dinner, the outer space and the Transformers robots. But what do all those elements mean? Actually, I don't know. It's rather complicated. Tell you the truth: even the guys in Linkin Park themselves are confused of the music video.

You may have noticed the scenario which shows the LP band sitting at a tablet together in a feast. Actually it mirrors Leonardo da Vinci's painting "The Last Super".

Joe Hann, who directed the "Iridescent" music video, explained in Linkin Park's official blog that "the video explores how human existence might be affected by the elements of Transformers robots and the threat of the Decepticons."

This is this third time that Linkin Park cooperates with Transformers film series. Previously, Transformers' theme song "What I've Done" and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen's lead soundtrack "New Divide" are all LP's songs. When asked why they chose "Iridescent" for "Dark of the Moon," Mike Shinoda, one of the band's lead vocalists, said the song felt like a good fit.

The 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon" will hit theaters on June 29, 2011. The film's soundtrack will be available in stores on June 14.

Here is the lyrics of Linkin Park's Iridescent

You were standing in the wake of devastation
And you were waiting on the edge of the unknown
And with the cataclysm raining down
Insides crying "Save me now"
You were there, impossibly alone

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. Let it go

And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of tempered grace
Falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. Let it go

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. Let it go

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

Do you feel cold and lost in desperation?
You build up hope, but failure's all you've known
Remember all the sadness and frustration
And let it go. Let it go

Little Monster's Rejoice! Lady Gaga Born This Way Album Debuts with 1.11 Million Copies

Paws Up! Little Monsters! Our Mama Monster again proves her global popularity.

Few artists can sold their albums for more than 1 million copies in the first week. Do you remember the last artist who debuted album with more than 1 million copies? It's Taylor Swift. The country music diva released her third studio album "Speak Now" in 2010 with 1,047,000 copies in its first week. Now Lady Gaga breaks the record with her second studio album "Born This Way", which was released on May 23, 2011. Unexpectedly, Gaga has globally sold 1,108,000 copies of the BTW album in its first week.

Here's Lady Gaga's Born This Way single music video. You can download it from YouTube with this YouTube Downloader software.


It has been six years since the last album debuted with more than Gaga's 1.1 million copies. It was 50 Cent's. The band had sold their hit album "The Massacre" 1.14 million copies in its first week in 2005, which is much closed with Gaga's Born This Way 1.1 million copies.

To promote her album, Lady Gaga made a surprising move – she sold her Born This Way album on Amazon.com for only 0.99 US dollars in the first two day. 440,000 copies of the album were sold at the low price.

With the success of "Born This Way" album, Lady Gaga's influence toward the world culture is being further extended. Lady Gaga is no longer the newbie who just can sang her ‘the fame' songs, but the icon that can influence people's religion and culture. So do you like the old Lady Gaga or the new Lady Gaga?

A lot of people don't understand Lady Gaga, her songs and her music videos. They just hate Gaga's works. It's obviously that Gaga learns from Madonna. Gaga also confirms it. Besides, Gaga writes her own songs, has added the stylish elements and her own feelings, experience, understanding of life and her talent to her works. She also interact very actively with her fans. Those are why I'm fond of Lady Gaga.

Download Green Lantern Blu-ray / DVD

Green Lantern poster
Ring is always a magic thing to human being. It's not just a decorative ornament worn on fingers. It stands for love as people wear a wedding ring at and after wedding. Besides, people believe that some special rings can endow human being with supernatural power. In the Oscar winner film "The Lord of the Ring", the "Master Ring" even can control all others. Yet another film about a supernatural ring is going to hit the theater – it's "Green Lantern".


"Green Lantern" is a great movie. It is absolutely worth watching. Here is one of the trailers of the film hosted on YouTube. You can download the Green Lantern movie trailer with this youtube video downloader.


The much-anticipated upcoming superhero film "Green Lantern" is set to premier in the United States on June 17, 2011 in 3D. Just like "Captain America" and "Thor", "Green Lantern" is adapted from the comic book with the same name. The film is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and directed by Martin Campbell. The budget of the film is up to 150 million dollars. Warner Bros. has made overwhelming advertising campaigns for the film. Up to now, Warner Bros. has released 7 promo photos, three official trailers and 5 promo banners for "Green Lantern".


Here is the storyline of Green Lantern


In a universe as vast as it is mysterious, a small but powerful force has existed for centuries. Protectors of peace and justice, they are called the Green Lantern Corps. A brotherhood of warriors sworn to keep intergalactic order, each Green Lantern wears a ring that grants him superpowers. But when a new enemy called Parallax threatens to destroy the balance of power in the Universe, their fate and the fate of Earth lie in the hands of their newest recruit, the first human ever selected: Hal Jordan. Hal is a gifted and cocky test pilot, but the Green Lanterns have little respect for humans, who have never harnessed the infinite powers of the ring before. But Hal is clearly the missing piece to the puzzle, and along with his determination and willpower, he has one thing no member of the Corps has ever had: humanity. With the encouragement of fellow pilot and childhood sweetheart Carol Ferris (Blake Lively), if Hal can quickly master his new powers and find the courage to overcome his fears, he may prove to be not only the key to defeating Parallax...he will become the greatest Green Lantern of all.
