Here are some of my most significant videos from YouTube and some of the comments they've got
Bring Me To Life Evanescence Most Comments Views - 9140 Comments - 61 Rating - 4.5/5
Recieving feedback on my videos is important to me as it gives my videos value. The amount of views lets me know how many people are seeing each video. The more views, the more cultral capital the videos has as it is reaching a wider audience and generating more interest. Youtube allows users to share videos so if a video has a high amount of views it tells me that people have forwarded the link to friends. This process of forwarding my videos bring them out of folk culture, where only people who know me are watching, into mass culture.
LilyMcKinnon : ''Wow! Is this you? Wow! Well, well, well done! I love it! ''
Fontenont: ''You sing really well. The camera is a bit off, but very good job! ''
propperbo2002: ''I really enjoyed that. Great performance. Don't listen to negative people too much. Keep up the good work.''

Visitors to Youtube have the freedom to express their views on videos by leaving a comment. This feedback is important to me as by hearing what people think of my performances I can take critism on board and improve future performances. It also allows me to identify my strengths which lets me know what it is about my performances that are appealing and gives me more confidence. When i put my videos on Youtube with sincerity and an honest persona, i knew i was putting myself out there as a target for critism. As i put up lots of covers i expected negative comments from fans of the origionals, however, i have been very suprised at how posetive the comments have been and the amount of contructive critism i have got, with peoples intentions being to help me and not insult me. This could be because through my natrulistic self presentation and informal video descriptions I have placed myself on an equal level to the viewers, so they don't feel like I have power over them or think i am better than them. I think this has made way for the helpful and honest comments delivered in a friendly way.
TeenageAssassin: I like your voice alot. And I also love how you didn't try to be Amy, and you put your own spin on it. I think you did a great job.
eroPsych: I like your version. It's more upbeat than Evanescence's, but that's what makes it yours :-)
BR177: you've got your own style... follow that path... nice video
You're Not That Amazing Lucy Amor Most Viewed Original Song Views - 681 Comments - 31 Rating - 5/5
Most my views and comments are on covers. This is because many of my videos are found by looking for the origional song and also because people are more likely to want to hear an interpratation of a song they are familiar with than a brand new song. This is because most songs have to be heard several times before they hold a place in someones memory and unlike on the radio where songs are repeated constantly, people are unlikely to listen to a song on Youtube again unless they really like it. This is due to the vast amount of choice on the internet. It's often people who have watched many of my videos who then go on to look at my origional songs. This suggests that they think i have cultural capital and want to hear more of what i do and get to know about more of me and my hobby. Any feedback i do get on my origional videos is really interesting to read as i am getting comments on both my songwritting as well as singing and guitar playing ability.
willieheckerslike: Wonderful, you are very talented guitarist with great voice...
ukmdg: Hi Lucy, Great song. Shame the microphone didn't pick your voice up a bit better. Liked the mood and the flow of the song, well done. Keep writing! PS - you make me jealous with your guitar playing!
sgsproduction: Loving it...Singing along already...and is it creepy that i've watched this and commented on it and it's been up like three hours, Well Done Lucy, Keep Posting:D
