Internet is an amazing springboard for artists !

Today, we will talk about the new generation who thanks to Internet earn a lot of money and become famous trough the social networks, Youtube or others website.

Indeed, teenagers need to have visibility and it’s normal for us to share with friends and people what we make and love. Today 84% of young people have a facebook account in France, so it shows the importance of social networks in our life. But a lot of people share photos and videos with unknowns people, for example when you post a video on Youtube, you don’t know who see your video. So a lot of people know a media buzz. To illustrate this idea, I chose the advertising of Google Chrome because it shows how Justin Bieber has become famous.

When he was young, Justin Bieber started to post videos of him singing and he received some views. Thanks to Youtube, Usher saw a video of him singing and he liked his voice so he called a music producer. After that, Justin Bieber began to make an album and since that day he became famous in the world.

We can compare the beginning of Justin Bieber’s career and Irma’s carrer because the both became famous thanks to Internet. Indeed, Irma is a young girl who post videos on My Major Company, a french website where people post their talents and they request some money. Irma received money that she needed and she released her album thanks to people who gave money. So with Internet, we can earn money and become famous but we can have to be careful because a lot of people make the buzz unintentionally.
