Ok on a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give this a 5. It had it's good moments, but alot of it was not very funny to me. I laughed at "1 2 3 YOU!!" That was good. And the idea itself was pretty funny, some people are gonna be offended and say you're making fun of homosexuals I don't really see it that way but I'm sure some will. Good choice of background music, it worked well, it was edited well. I think it was lacking in wit. The things you were doing to be gay were not all that clever. The frollicking was funny, when the guy walked in on you two I think you could have thought of a more outrageous position for you two to be in other than a massage.
The good news is you're likeable guys, and while I didn't find it just tremendously funny, it wasn't a total flop either. It had it's moments that were humorous, and it's moments that tried but missed the mark. So yeah, that's why I'm gonna say 5 out of 10, it wasn't bad imo, it wasn't great imo, it was right in the middle.

That makes sense, and I agree with you 100%. It def wasn't our best work, and it was kind of rushed when we filmed it too. I appreciate the feedback and the time you took to review it. We have a new one coming out Sunday and some better planned ones soon. Hope you like em. Thanks again.

This is the exact same review as the last first person shooter gameplay I did, I don't see the point in just having people watch you play a game, while you talk into a microphone. And in this case it's kind of worse because you aren't even saying anything really, just saying "come on b***h" "oh s**t" and stuff.. so basically, we're just watching you play a game. I fail to see how this is entertaining, perhaps some people do? To me it's pointless, I came to watch a video, something you presented to entertain or inform me, and all I'm doing is watching you play a video game. It feels more like I'm sitting on your couch going "hey man let me play" than watching a video.

First off, I had a good time chatting with you the other night! I think you are off to a good start, and I don't want you to misconstrue this review with me saying it wasn't good. You have a good energy and vibe about you and you're very young so you are doing fine for where you're at. These reviews however play no favorites, so let's get to the criticisms.

Singing wise you have a good grasp on pitch control and singing with feeling, but it's not there yet, and I think you are trying too hard. The way you say "wait" is a little a musical. You should draw out the note "waaait" instead of shortening it and attacking it like you do. You also have some pitch issues in parts that will probably only be fixed through practice, look up interval training online and do warm up exercises and just sing all the time to get to where you can nail every note. When I say you are trying to hard, what I mean is you seem too aware of the audience and like you're trying to portray emotion without actually losing yourself in the song and FEELING emotion. This is totally normal for someone your age who's just starting out, but the trick is to get lost in the song. To feel it as you sing it, you seem a tad bit detached to me and like you're trying to create the illusion of feeling it, but not actually doing it.

Your left hand is doing fine on the guitar, you're forming your chords quickly and able to make them ring nicely, but your right hand needs work. You're going with a kind of "bang it out" approach rhythmically and it's too jerky for the listener to drift away to. Be less aware of strumming and more aware of how it sounds, and learn to do up and down strokes to create a rhythm bed for you to sing over. Right now the way you strum is clashing with the singing and it never really takes off to where we can get into it.

But overall you did a good job, and for your age there is nothing wrong with this. Most of these things just take time and practice and you will get them as you go along. Good luck!

I don't have much to say about this video. It was... it was "meh" to me. Your strength is that you are confident, you speak well and seem comfortable on camera, and for the most part I could relate to your "worst feelings", but when you tried to be funny it really didn't impact me. The "mom can I go to the toilet" part seemed kinda silly to me. Like unrealistic silly. And the thing that drove me NUTS was the jumpcuts. I can tolerate jumpcuts when they make sense, but you'd do them in the middle of sentences and in pauses and like 3 in the span of 10 seconds it was just jumpcut madness. I can see that you have a certain appeal and quality to your video presence that some people will enjoy, but overall I wasn't too impressed. Sorry buddy.

No, it's okay, I'm actually thankful you reviewed my video I thought you'd never do. I guess I have to work on my humor and lessen the jump cuts , thanks for reviewing , it's much appreciated

Did you make a blueprint for this one? It seemed kind of random and unplanned, but at the same time it was totally to the point with no down time. I've got nothing negative to say about this video, it was totally charming and funny and had me smiling and laughing throughout, it was definitely a positive improvement from the last video, which wasn't bad either, it just had it's down moments, this one had no down moments, it was funny all the way through I liked everything about it, great job.
