Girl's Generations Beat Justin Bieber, One Direction, Lady Gaga
The first ever YouTube Music Award was hosted by YouTube, which the winners were determined by the fans by the power of likes and sharing on YouTube. The video of the year award went to Korea's national favorite, Girl's Generation, thus upsetting the American horde of Beliebers, Directioners, and Monsters. It's a bit sad at how ignorant Americans are to different cultures by calling others a nobody just because they don't know who they are. Even other nations know who American artists are and not only just the most popular ones either and yet Americans have no clue who is big outside of their nation. But putting everything aside, Bieber has about 40 million followers on Twitter which is almost the entire population of South Korea of 50 million people so you can see how much KPop is relevant to the rest of the world outside of Korea. Are KPop fans as crazy as Bieliber fans? Absolutely and in some cases even worse such as for EXO, but their fans are dedicated to their idols as shown by their landslide victory over America's big 3. Even if they had combined the big 3's votes, their total still would not have beaten Girl's Generation so kudos to Psy and Girl's Generation for representing the outside world. As for the award show, it was a disappointment and not well planned out so maybe they can learn from their mistake and make a better show next year.
Haters to the right
