Enough has passed since the creation of the first Internet a large number of time. During this period, he managed to become a part of the life of the population. Now everyone can connect the Internet to a phone, laptop or other electronic devices to be able to access the network. There are a lot of Internet providers, so the prices for Internet services have decreased significantly and have become available to absolutely every resident. It is impossible to imagine a day without this technology, the benefits of which cannot be overestimated. The development of the Internet since its inception has been influenced by many personalities, but there are those who turned out to be the most significant in this area: 1. Tim Berners-Lee. It was he who became the founder of the concept of Internet architecture. It was he who became the creator of this global network and gave rise to the first communication between people. This person is very important in creating the Internet, so he rightfully takes first place in the list of the most important people in this domain. 2. Steve Jobs. This is an American entrepreneur who founded the most famous brand Apple. Everyone is familiar with his phones, laptops and unique technical innovations. This man is truly a genius. After all, no one has yet managed to advance so much in the world of new technologies. His inventions are in demand all over the world, and every inhabitant of the planet knows about the existence of the Apple brand. 3. Steve Wozniak This man was a classmate of Steve Jobs, and later also became the founder of Apple. He became the creator of the file system for this company. And would have continued to work if not for terrible accident, because of which he lost his memory and at least later partially restored it, but he failed to return to the company. 4. Sergey Brin. Another person, without whose contribution it is impossible to imagine modern world. It was he who became the creator of such a popular now search engine Google. He began his discoveries from a search on the Playboy website. At first it was a search engine that allowed users to find photos of interest to them and download them. But later he decided to expand the system to be global in modern Google. 5. Arkady Volozh. Another creator of the search engine, only this time Yandex. This system was created for the Runet network and is in great demand. 6. Mark Zuckenberg And of course, we must not forget about the creator of the most popular social network Facebook. Starting small and bringing his project to perfection, Mark Zuckenberg is now one of the richest people and billions of people use his social network. 7. Pavel Durov. And some more legendary and truly smart person is the creator of the social network VKontakte. This network has brought together many people and has become interesting for the entire population. But not so much is known about his life, because he leads a rather secretive life and does not spread about it in the public. Without these people, it is impossible to imagine our life, because it is with their help that it has become more convenient, simple and exciting.
The Internet today has become the same way to promote artists and celebrities as the media, advertising, rotation and other traditional promotion channels. It is cheaper and more accessible to emerging artists, but it imposes its own conditions. The artist acts on the verge of a foul, annoying and attracting attention.
Read about who and how became famous thanks to the Internet in the selection below. I used the article as a base How to become a star with God's help, adding other artists and celebrities to it.
Nikolai Voronov is the star of the Vkontakte social network, the hero of notes and concerts in famous magazines and clubs. His song "White Dragonfly of Love" was watched by 280 thousand people on YouTube alone. Used to be a star did such masterpieces, parodies of masterpieces or flashing on the screen, and not everything that, in general, is not customary to show. Not mental oddities, not stupid revelations and not trash that is not even masked. Now that video cameras are cheap and access to media is so easy, the icons are people capitalizing on their own shame online. We have selected the most prominent internet freaks and the driver sites that made them famous.
The reaction to Nikolai Voronov in blogs is often rude: “Dude of a slegont not alle” - or even worse. Someone almost seriously calls him Russia's candidate for Eurovision, the most appropriate of the moment. In any case, it evokes emotions in everyone. By the way " Quest Pistols" based on his "White Dragonfly of Love" they created an excellent remix.
She became known to her audience in the CIS through the Internet, as she lives and works in the Baltics. GuruKen, in his review of her first album, calls her an internet girl. At the time of the collapse of the record industry, completely unseen artists began to crawl out from under the Internet slots. They really want to sing, but they don't know how to do it. They have taste and sense of style, but no professionalism. They are in a hurry to quickly convey to the world what was born, so as not to trivialize the first feeling. But the absence of a school sometimes undermines their brightest intentions. Alina Orlova is far from the first in this generation of singing Internet girls behind the keys. Regina Spektor and CocoRosie are already shining in America, the Ukrainian Fleur is already gathering large halls. From this series, Alina Orlova stands out only for her Baltic calmness and cabaret-minimalistic orchestration.
Concert-presentation of the album " wild dog dingo” was held in January 2008 in the Church of St. Catherine. The concert was broadcast by one of the central channels of Lithuania. The album's title contains a play on words, due to which it can be translated from Lithuanian as "Wild Dog Dingo" or "Wild Dog is Lost".
MARCHI graduate Petr Nalich won his first fans thanks to the Youtube resource, where, for fun, he posted a homemade video for the song Gitar - a kind of punk romance, sung in monstrous English. The audience appreciated the joke - for short term the video became the leader in terms of the number of views in the Russian-speaking segment of the Web, and Nalich himself became the first Russian performer whose success was ensured not by rigid rotation on leading radio stations and boring television broadcasts, but by the Internet, which was alien to the concept of “format”.
Further - everything is like with real stars: interviews, photo shoots and, of course, concerts. Since the beginning of 2008 Music band Petra Nalich managed to "light up" at all the leading venues of the capital, including Green theater, where beginners, as you know, the entrance is closed. As for the tour, the artists have already visited both Europe and Asia, performing at the main sports events this summer: the European Football Championship before the Russia-Sweden match and the Beijing Olympics.
Within a few weeks, after uploading, when the "Guitar" video was viewed by all Internet users, a lot of discussions and hypotheses unfolded around the question of who Peter Nalich was. Everyone is intrigued. Someone claims that Peter Nalich is a gypsy baron, someone claims that he is a Cypriot Greek. And others generally declare that there is no Peter Nalich? So who are you, Petya? - asked Peter Nalich "Izvestia"
“Guitar” is a song performed by Peter in English with a strong accent to guitar accompaniment, written, according to the author, under the influence of gypsy, Balkan and Latin American music, romances and the work of Russian bards. An amateur music video for the song was posted to YouTube on April 24, 2007. The clip was filmed in the spring of 2007 at the author's dacha near Moscow, and depicts Peter either singing "Jump to my Jaguar" in a VAZ-2101 car, or dancing with friends. For filming, an amateur digital video camera was used, and primitive effects and titles were added to Sony Vegas. The clip gained wide popularity among YouTube viewers and bloggers: as of November 18, 2007, the video was in 20th place in terms of the number of views among Russian music videos posted on the service. The popularity of the video on the Internet allowed the Kommersant browser to call the singer "the first Russian singing Internet phenomenon", and among the welcome videos dedicated to the opening of the Russian version of YouTube in November 2007 was Peter's appeal.
Tila Tequila (real name Tila Nguyen), a Texan girl of Vietnamese origin, became famous thanks to the social network Myspace in 2003. She is called the most famous girl on the Internet, because since the moment of registration on Myspace, her page has been viewed 180 million times. Approximately - the population of Russia and Ukraine. And she also has 370 thousand friends in her diary.
TT was almost unknown to us until MTV showed the show "Sex with Tequila", in which she chose her soulmate from 16 guys and girls in front of astonished viewers. In the finale of some season, TT chose Christy's girlfriend. But holy carrots! Christie refused Tile (video on YouTube, 275 thousand views).
The internet made Tila famous. Before registering on the social network, she earned money by shooting nude for men's magazines and danced a striptease. Everything changed as soon as Teela came to Myspace. She quickly won two contests: Miss Myspace and Queen of Myspace. It is believed that Tila became popular because of frank texts in which she first confessed to virginity, then to bisexuality. The texts were illustrated with photographs, where the girl had almost no clothes on.
Producers noticed her. Now Tila sings and shoots videos, participates in own show on MTV, releases a clothing line. She wrote an autobiography in which she told how to become rich and famous.
Usually a question normal person: "What the hell is this?" - follows: "But she has boobs." Meanwhile, a sketch with recipes for becoming an Internet star looms. Voronov's horse, of course, is different - infantile madness. The strategy for less spectacular girls is impudence or theatrical stupidity.
Amatue, Felomena, Nahema, Nagual, Goddess, also, as it were, the most famous girl the Internet
23-year-old native of Tiraspol, living in Odessa, Valeria Lukyanova, is familiar to everyone who loves solid trash. Fame came to Lera in 2001, when she started her first blog. Then she called herself Nahema and claimed that she was the vampire queen. Thanks to the abundance of bad photographs, which for a long time became her calling card, as well as fantastic megalomania, Lera quickly became known on Li.ru.
The period of passion for vampires was replaced by Lukyanova's passion for esotericism and the work of Coelho, and the former Nahema began to call herself for some reason the queen of the Internet. She continued to post retouched photos, claiming that she is the most beautiful girl on the planet. Lera found fans: 3.5 thousand people read her blog.
Lukyanova even managed to become an Internet meme, cultural phenomenon online, readily replicated by users. Dedicated to her, the folklore piggy bank of Runet. Her phrases became winged, and Valeria's opponents, whom she herself calls "insects", organized an anti-fan club "Bagini" - one of her names, which the girl herself wrote through "a".
Now Valeria Lukyanova is becoming a singer. New nickname— Amatue.
Karina Barbie, living doll
In fact, Karina Barbie's name is Karina Sharobokova. She is 20 years old, she came to Moscow from Karaganda and, unlike Valeria Lukyanova, whose ambitions did not spread beyond the Internet for a long time, she immediately got involved in real life.
Karina is a regular guest of programs on NTV and Moscow strip clubs, which are happy to invite her to perform. She recently starred in the movie "Virginity" as herself.
Since childhood, Karina did not like to study, but she loved the Barbie doll and wanted to be like her. After graduating from 9 classes in her native Karaganda, she opened a school there oriental dances. Then she became interested in striptease and went to conquer Moscow.
“I always knew that I could gain popularity,” Karina told us, “But when I arrived in Moscow, I was 16 years old, I didn’t know anyone here and started a diary on Li.ru just to communicate. But my diary immediately became so popular that I thought: if people are interested in me, then I should try to become the most popular. Now Karina's blog is read by 2400 people.
A two-year-old TNT report about Karina Barbie, who arrived in Moscow, has 20,000 views.
The popularity was more negative than positive. Karina's diary contains naive nonsense and revelations from the arsenal of a textbook blonde. But the image of a strange half-naked girl in pink attracted attention the right people. Karina began to be invited to dance in Moscow strip clubs, journalists are happy to interview her, and Eсho of Hollywood, a company specializing in the production of clothes for striptease and erotic shows, called Karina as a consultant new collection"Barbie".
Karina's ill-wishers created the Karina Kaput community on Li.ru, in which she communicates with them with pleasure. "This community will amuse me a lot." Karina says. “I go there often and laugh at the stupidity of the people, sometimes I communicate by leaving comments. In Karaganda, I did not have such ardent admirers and haters as now. Now there are plenty of them in every city. The whole CIS knows me.”
Karina recently got married. Her husband Anatoly is 48, they met at the club where she danced. “I’m now married and happy, it’s too early to think about children, but I’m only 20 years old. You have to do a lot of things. I will stop at nothing and I will win the title of a world-class star and surpass Madonna herself. Judging by the statistics of the latest videos on YouTube, Karina is losing popularity: the account goes to hundreds of views.
How to become an internet star
Manual for personal striptease
1. It is desirable to be born in the province. Karaganda, Bugulma, Labytnangi. And be 16 years old.
2. Start a blog or social media page. It is better if it is an extremely democratic site, designed more for young people, like Li.ru or Vkontakte. Tell there about yourself delicate details. For example, that you have implants in your buttocks, HIV, or a volume of Schopenhauer.
3. Call yourself Lord of the Galaxy, Queen of All Blogs, Zero Coming Messiah. Write the name with capital letters, this is great.
4. Choose a strange image for yourself. It will be necessary to shock the public not only with judgments, but also with appearance. Look for something in the Odd Stuff section on Digg.com: the entire Runet and almost the entire civilization are spied on this site.
5. Do more candid photos and videos with a shaking soap dish. Speak with an accent or in an unusual way - stutter. Post photos and videos on your blog and YouTube.
6. Get involved in all the disputes and quarrels that you meet on the Internet. Do not take the position of either side: everyone is an idiot, and you are a deity. For the same reason, write with errors.
7. Join all "profile" communities. For example, the Beauty Queen chooses communities dedicated to beauty, the Great Magician chooses magic. The latter is also called esotericism. Spam the community with texts, photos and videos.
8. Come up with a song (use the site translate.google.ru for this), play on a children's synthesizer, shoot a video clip and spam everything you can with it. It is better to sing somehow unusual - stutter.
9. Blame everyone for being jealous of your beauty, intelligence, or talent. Among other things, this will avoid a full-fledged personal life, destructive for a freak star.
10. Give a half-witted buffoon or demoness for two or three years, until they write about you on Lurkmore - this is already the beginning of fame. Wait for people in suits with a proposal for cooperation.
Now let's introduce you to those who got into the world of music thanks to the Internet. There are many performers who "conquered" first the netizens, and then the whole world. You can treat them however you like, but you can't deny that they did a great job.
1. Peter Nalich
Let's start with perhaps Russian artist Peter Nalich, who became popular thanks to one single video. Now some know him as “that guy who sings about a sugar bag”, some know him as a Eurovision participant, but someone probably understands that since he represented Russia at song contest, then he did it for a reason.
Back in 2007, Peter Nalich and his friends went to the country, taking a guitar and a camera. He was creative person, but in addition to writing poetry and playing the guitar, he also drew well, so he became an architect. But not for life, as it turned out.
Purely for fun, the guys shot a video for the song "Guitar", which collected 70 thousand views and about 5 million downloads, and after that the song entered the TOP-20 hits. Glory was secured. Three years later, Peter Nalich performed at Eurovision. In the semi-finals, by the way, Peter's group reached the second place, but took only the twentieth place in the final. However, then, in 2007, the Internet community gave them popularity. And many remain his fans to this day.
2. Carly Rae Jepsen
Carly Rae Jepsen is another one-video singer. There was a time when her song Call Me Maybe sounded from every TV, radio and on every music channel. However, not everything is so smooth.
Despite the popularity of the song (winning places in the charts, the title of "song of the year" and much more), it was quite poppy and "jamming" that there were many pranksters who decided to parody Carly Rae Jepsen. Today you will find a huge number of parodies of her video. Naturally, after watching the parody, you will want to look at the original. Probably, Jepsen received part of her views in this way. However, you have to give her credit. Having heard the song just once, you will hum it mentally for a long time.
3. Justin Bieber
You can love Justin Bieber, you can not love him, but he did a great job, and you can’t argue with that. Yes, even if his video is one of the worst videos on YouTube (I mean, with the most dislikes, at the time of writing that article there are 6.6 million), but in these six years he has grown in every way, and today the name of Justin Bieber almost everyone knows.
His story is ridiculously simple: Justin's mother posted a video of his performances on the Internet (he was a musician and quite well), he was noticed by an influential producer, and everything is clear there. The famous bieber became thanks to music video to the song Baby, where he appeared before us as a sixteen-year-old boy with long bangs and a slightly high-pitched voice. A lot of criticism rained down on him, where he was called not very good words and asked to stop the music, but among all this there were also positive reviews.
Now we have what we have. Justin Bieber has removed his bangs, became the face of some brands, sold more than 15 million copies of his albums worldwide. Perhaps it was worthwhile then to attract attention to yourself and receive a lot of criticism in order to achieve such a result later?
4. Halsey
Halsey grew up in ordinary family, was an ordinary teenager With ordinary hobbies. And like more and more musically gifted people, they posted covers on YouTube. It so happened that she won her popularity in narrow circles by posting a cover of a Taylor Swift song, and the whole world noticed her when Ashley posted her first Ghost song online. She literally woke up famous. Today, we can say that Halsey is just starting his career. During these two years, Ashley managed to play with such performers as The Weekend, imagine Dragons, the same Justin Bieber. In general, Halsey is just beginning to conquer the world of music and she hardly imagined that she would achieve such heights when she sang Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran songs on camera.
5. Troy Sivan
But Troye Sivan literally came into the world of music through YouTube. The fact is that Sivan is an Australian video blogger. He was one of the most popular YouTubers for a long time, making videos on various topics and doing covers. Sometimes he wrote songs and music himself, putting it on his channel. But in 2014, Troy Sivan decided to start making music more seriously and released his first single, in support of the upcoming mini-album. Given that he was already popular then, it is clear that both the track and the album became successful.
After the release of the first two mini-albums and the full-length album "Blue Neighborhood", Troy became known not only as a vlogger, but also as a singer. Later, he released several video clips, and sang one of his songs with aspiring singer Alessia Kara.
By the way, Troy Sivan is also an actor - he played the role young James Howlett in the Wolverine movie.
While you are reflecting on what is not ideal enough for a career in show business, people with absolutely non-standard appearance and manners win the star Olympus. By the way, so many celebrities have made a name for themselves with their weird looks, and they are loved! Today we will tell you about the most unusual "frames" in the world of show business.
Once upon a time Sergey(52) served in the army and was a tall, thin, dark-haired boy. Later, he realized that his vocation was to make people beautiful. He didn’t forget about himself either: first he changed his hair, then he began to wear outrageous suits and platform shoes (although his height Sergei so 187 cm). And then the heavy artillery went at all: Zverev addicted to plastic surgery, but became incredibly popular and even starred in his own reality show.
This girl broke into the show business industry precisely because of her non-standard outfits, big nose and catchy makeup. And fans were captivated by her crazy dances and shocking exits on the red carpet, for example, in a dress made of meat. Indeed, while Gaga(29) was Stephanie Joanne − ordinary girl in jeans, a jumper and with dark hair, the laurels of a superstar she never dreamed of. So why not stock up on barbecue and make a hat out of it?
Zhanna Aguzarova
And here is the Russian Lady Gaga − Zhanna Aguzarova(48) - has always been a little strange. At the very beginning of his career, while working in a group "Bravo", Jeanne was still quite an earthly creature, and then "flew to Mars", from where she returned with a crazy haircut and tons of makeup. And yet Aguzarova incredible talented singer that fans love. That's what space does to people!
Lena Lenina
Once upon a time Lena studied at Nizhny Novgorod University, but then she decided that it was not for her, and left to conquer Moscow. For some time she worked in the capital as a model, attracting attention with strange outfits. Glitter and mother of pearl Lena never regretted. She then went to France and participated there in a reality show, after which Moscow again accepted Lenin into your arms. It was then that she established herself as a young lady with the strangest hairstyles, dresses and makeup. Lenin seen from afar!
Valery Leontiev
Another strange but incredibly popular singer − Valery Leontiev(66) - at one time he charmed all Russian women not only with energetic dances and big smile, but also bright robes with the chest wide open. Suits Leontief Cher herself can envy, and his presentation is definitely not comparable with anyone. However, over time Valery began to abuse plastic surgery, and his experiments were not very successful. But for us, he will forever remain the most outrageous sex symbol of the 90s on Russian stage!
Anastasia Volochkova
Seems like a story Anastasia Volochkova(39) do not know only in the tundra. Loud scandal around her dismissal from Bolshoi Theater because of too impressive dimensions glorified former ballerina for the whole country. And after 2005, something strange happened to her: Anastasia did not return to her previous form, but instead she became a natural ballet freak.
Daria Mironova
Clairvoyant Daria Mironova- participant of the first "Battle of psychics". In 2007, she looked normal: she didn’t even decorate herself with bat legs. But when the Battle graduate decided to build a career in show business, otherworldly voices suggested Daria work on the image. The result was a “noodles” on the head and an aggressive manicure, with which you can perform some kind of frightening ritual.
Jocelyn Wildenstein
The most famous victim of plastic surgery is not in vain tops all ratings of frightening star transformations. The problem is that we have little idea how Jocelyn looked before. It must have been different once upon a time. Nevertheless, thanks to her appearance, she always gets on high-profile talk shows and constantly flashes on television. But we are against such glory - the price is too high!
Lukyanova
live "Barbie" from Odessa does nothing outstanding. This heroine became famous solely for her appearance, which contradicts all the laws of physics and anatomy. To the accusations that she changed with the help of plastic surgery and photoshop, Lera replies that this is not true, but with its unusual appearance it owes it to space.
Isabella Blow
The famous assistant of an even more famous Anna Wintour(65) – Isabella Blow(1957-2007) owes its popularity largely to its strange appearance. She later became editor-in-chief of the magazine Tatler and thanks to her love for unusual hats, she opened the world to designers such as Philip Tracy and Alexander McQueen. And she has earned the proud title of fashion designer.
Shura
It is today Shura(40) smiles with even white teeth and wears the clothes of mere mortals. And before, he beamed a toothless smile, moved strangely, wore a mind-blowing hairstyle and even weirder clothes. He was recognized by the unusual timbre of his voice and ... lisp. By the way, she stayed.
Marilyn Manson
In childhood Brian Hugh Warner was a skinny and inconspicuous sociopath who instead of school parties listened to heavy metal in his room. Growing up Brian turned into a successful music journalist. Communication with rockers inspired him to create his own group, the name of which became a symbiosis of the name Marilyn Monroe and killers Charles Manson. For the first major shows the musician, along with his bandmates, chose simply eccentric outfits: swimming caps and skirts. Later, Manson settled on a gloomy theme, causing anger religious organizations and the parents of their young fans. Now it is very difficult to imagine him without a frightening make-up.
