Michael Jackson "live" on CNN

Hitting the most viewed clip by miles today due to multiple appearances (10 times in the top 23 on youtube most-viewed alone) in the Cliposphere the Michael Jackson "They Don't Really Care About Us" dress rehersal. A taste of things to come - released by AEG Live, LLC who plan to use the footage commercially; media reports say there may be up to 100 hours to go at.

#1 global cliposphere slot for the day Michael Jackson

Just in case anyone needed reminding - possibly one of the greatest dance troupes in the world at the moment hit over 1 million views like a rocket and grabbed the #1 slot globally by a mile today with their tribute to Michael Jackson; news, entertainment, music all rolled into one; a sure win in the cliposphere.

Will it remain out there for the world or get pulled down by rights holders?

A tribute performed by 1,500 CPDRC Inmates on June 27, 2009 in memory of Michael Jackson. Completed in 10 hours after receiving word that the King of Pop passed away.

Dance + Prison + Slumdogs

Lets face it the prisoners in the Philippines that made the 23 million view "thriller" dance homage may be getting even more hits in the wake of the death of Michael Jackson.

The have now broken new ground with their version of Jai Ho; the AR Rahman hit from Oscar winning film Slumdog Millionaire taking prison-chic to another level:

New Moon sees Boyle domination incomplete today

Britain leads the global youtube rally this week by a country mile.

It's impossible to tell how many new people have been added to the on-line video user base as Britains got Talent grabs 18/23 of most viewed clips; the top 7 of 9 clips are Boyle performances; simply stunning.

Trumped for the day globally so far by the trailer for "New Moon", due no doubt the the multiple clips Boyle can viewed in, this proves that in the cliposhere you may not stay at the top for long and may not even get there ... at least on youtube.

The fact is that youtube does not appear to truly rank the most viewed clip of the day as the system does not publicly consolidate multiple postings of the same content.

Enough of Boyle - back to the movies !

Esmee Denters - hitting her stride

Jan 2008 I wrote about Esmee when she was hitting the cliposphere hard in Holland and being noticed by the world. She is a true Internet originated star and if you haven't see her recently; just look at her now 18 months later:

youtube "losses" for Boyle as Diversity win

The story below from WIRED shows how difficult things are becoming in the cliposhpere when they should be getting so easy.

How can a person anywhere in the world easily get a "revenue sharing account" with youtube?

Isn't it simple enough to clear rights for something that seems to be a sure win for all concerned?

Why is youtube populated with many "not available" clips on a geographic basis?

Why is the embedding of youtube clips being blocked widely; when there appears to be little economic benefit to anyone?


In the weeks to come I will be exploring and hopefully explaining the "why" and the "how" of making money in the cliposphere; enjoy the winners "diversity" at the link:

Susan Boyle’s Britain’s Got Talent video is on track to become the most popular video in the history of YouTube, amassing nearly 100million views in its first nine days and earning the producers of the program a serendipitous, potential windfall that should already be in the millions.

then from a "Google spokeswoman"

"That video is not being monetized." We’ve contacted Sony (Simon Cowell’s label) and FremantleMedia (the show’s producer, owned by RTL Group not Sony as appeared in this update earlier) and now ITV to try to determine why the $500,000 or more Boyle’s video should have generated so far is apparently being left on the table — despite the fact that both companies are confirmed revenue-sharing partners of YouTube.

and "A Fremantle spokesman"

"No comment is our official position." 4/23: Waiting to hear back from ITV, which apparently could not come to an agreement with YouTube over how to share ad revenue.

Olivia Thai

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that Olivia Thai should be able to do what was done in Holland a while ago ... she deserves a deal, can be great in China/Asia and all it takes is for her to be discovered by the right people.

A few of her clips will crest a million each in the blink of an eye as she gets "traction".

Lets see if I'm right - one things for sure is the cliposphere can make her; what she does over the next month or two will be crucial.
