   JOURNEY'S ARNEL PINEDA
I don't know if you call this the 'American Dream' or the new dream that Youtube has created. Arnel Pineda, once the lead singer for The Zoo (primarly a cover band in Manila) has hit the jackpot. In February of 2007, a friend of his started posting performances of his on You Tube singing a variety of 70's and 80's rock songs to apparently empty bar rooms. By June the videos had attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers, including one very important viewer: Neal Schon, the lead guitarist of Journey. Long story short, Schon found Pineda, Pineda auditioned and became the next lead singer of Journey, and the next show he played was a Brazillian simulcast to 25 million people. The collaboration has since recorded a platinum album and their tour was the eighth grossing concert in 2008. Pineda not only sounds like the original Journey frontman, Steve Perry, he might even be a better singer. He has gone from completely obscurity to worldwide fame in 2 years, and has resurrected one of the best acts the 70s ever produced.

   DRAMATIC CHIPMUNK
The fact that this is not a chipmunk or a dramatic moment speaks volumes of the creators foresight. Editing the footage to the most important five seconds and adding some music has created pure joy for millions of people with ADD. Kudos! If this video doesn't do it for you, you might need to watch it a few more times. It has a way of getting better and better and better.
