Yasmin, amazing youtube singer (YasLibertad77)

YasLibertad77 is the youtube name of Spanish young singer who has captivated hundreds, if not thousands, of youtubers (her channel is YasLibertad77). I had the opportunity to chat with her some time ago, but unortunately, the internet connection was bad so it was interrupted. We never got to talk again beacuse of time difference.

YasLibertad or Libertad/yasmin, which she uses as her youtube-artistic moniker resides in Barcelona (so yes, she speaks catalan idiom, too  see a reference below). She has labeled Avril Lavigne and Amy Lee Hartzler (née Amy Lynn Lee) from Evanescence as her favorite singers and the ones that ahve influenced her musical preferences. However, if you visit her youtube channel you may hear (and sometimes watch) her perform songs from a wide variety of musical genres: She goes from Nightwish to Highway to Hell; she plays songs from latin singers like mexican Belinda and La Quinta Estación.

Libertad sings Evanescence's Lithium

However, despite being a talented young girl, being pretty and having a great body can be a blessing and a curse at the same time. It is a blessing because we (men) love to stare at beautiful girls, no matter what they do. This has made her channel get many visits and subscribers. I have to admit that myself got hooked at the first time with the Lithium video. Her looks and pretty face made me gave her a try. Fortunately, I was glad with what I heard and liked her different interpretations of songs in he channel, regardsless they had videos or not. Nevertheless, beauty if a curse for girls, as Libertad gets many comments on her videos regarding her looks. She even acknowledge that in the interview-interruptus we had. "Men come here and just say BOOBS"- he said. So being a female perfomer requires twice the effort, one to proove she has talent and two, to make guys forget about BOOBS. 

Now let's get to know a little more of her. She is 23 years and is a vegan. She decided to become one after searching for how the meat and derivatives of it were made. So if you don't know here is a very entertain and not so brutal version of it, The Meatrix). Yasmin enjoys going to the gym, doing spinning, tabata, bodypump, mostly cardio.

She sings since she was 6 years old. His dad recorded a CD of her singing 5 songs of Spanish artist Natalia. Then she discovered Avril and fell in love with her music. Then she started the program Magix samplitude to mix the recordings. She loves to sound natural and always is looking to improve.

She decided to upload her videos as youtube is a 2.0 tool that has allowed virtual unknowns and got them a fan base. Justin Bieber started there, so who knows, maybe, and hopefully, fame is awaing Yasmin sooner than she thinks. However, life is about trying, falling, regrouping and starting over. She auditioned for a Spanish music reality caled "La voz" (the voice), but wasn't selected.

In my humble opinion, she has what it takes. She needs a viral marketing campaign and her career may launch. Voice and looks are the perfect combo. Yasmin does not need her great body to make her career, but she can use her sexy looks to propel it. As I said, in my opinion, she would make an impact doing a parody of a song or launching a project in indiegogo.com or kickstarter. (BTW, you can support this rescue home for animals

Singers Impersonators must see!! Cobain, Sting, Whinehouse, Vedder, Mercury & Shakira

Reality TV has became the trend around the world and TV networks know it. Fame and reputation is no longer an exclusive chracteristic of the rich and millionares in Hollywood. Reality era has brought to us some interesting stories that show us that everybody can achieve their dream. The line between success and frustration has been erased and now everybody can make the jump and try to be what they want. Justin Beiber was discovered in youtube and many other talented directors have signed contracts. Bloggers get the opportuniy to share their thoughts and the masses can get informed beyond what media wants you to know.

Reality TV has exploited the formula that seduces ordinary people to show their talent to the world. This process has make us witness some failure stories and stupid society models like Jersey Shore, The Real World, Flavor Flav, the Rehab Celebrities show, but there other amazing stories that have to be shared and are really worth it. The X factor, American Idol and currently these shows that allow people imitate their favorite singers.
