So Esmee Denters is starting to hit it big, at least on YouTube. Today, YouTube selected Esmee’s new video of her original song as its top-of-the-page featured video. Unfortunately, the video quality is pretty shoddy, and it appears to stop every few seconds at least on my computer. (The video didn’t run smoothly for me, so I have no opinion on her latest song.) Hopefully, the New Year will bring better technology for Esmee’s music career.
UPDATE: According to one user of YouTube (who posted a video), the huge number of hits and comments on Esmee’s video on the front page of YouTube today shortly after YouTube posted it caused YouTube’s servers to become overloaded (even causing the site to go down for 5 minutes). I haven’t verified this claim, but I did see the message posted by YouTube this afternoon that some functions were temporarily unavailable (which is unusual for a weekday afternoon — most maintenance takes place late at night). And the views on Esmee’s video did go from 50,000 plus when posted to 236,000 plus right now, so there certainly was a lot of traffic to the video. But the even bigger story may be that it appears that a number of YouTube users are making videos of Esmee and her videos. Now that’s buzz, if not a bit overboard.

i’m the one who made the Communication Breakdown vid, if you need the screenshot from about 3:59 – 4:07 when YouTube came back on line – send me a msg on my YouTube account. and just and fyi on Esmee’s vid stopping every 2 seconds – that’s on YouTubes side – the vid may unfortunately be on uploaded onto one of their slower server banks. when that happens, i hit the pause button, let the whole red bar fill up (so the whole vid is downloaded and then play it – just a suggestiion.) like ur coverage of Esmee!
