The Great Equalizers

Youtube, Facebox, Multiply, Google Video, MSN Spaces, Pure Volume etc. These are the equalizers of which the web provides for musicians, singers, directors, producers especially those from countries where the entertainment industry is still in its infancy, like Brunei for instance.

Where previously it was a gargantuan task getting oneself known regionally and globally, today, it only takes a home-made video recording posted on youtube to propel a creative budding young artist to international stardom. Take Marie Digby as a case in point. Overnight stardom came to her as the avalanche of viewers began to watch her youtube performances, some of which were recorded in her bathroom which had the best acoustics in the house.
