Did you see the brit awards? Rihanna was awesome huh?
Sexy, entertaining, a mix of 3 of her best songs together with a crazy onstage display of backing dancers, fire, glitter, pyro-tecnics and some almost nakedness.
the songs hit number 1 briefly and the video currently has 1.2 million youtube views (so my theory of entertaining people isnt flawed) 
Then
a young girl pops up with nothing but a piano and her vocals, stands in one spot and completly hypnotises the world
Number 1 in 17 countries and 38.2 MILLION views on youtube…
How did this happen?
your best youtube video got like, 38 views right? 
ok, i shouldnt laugh, i will explain in a minute
but first…
here is a snippet from wikipedia
The song was inspired by a broken relationship of hers, and lyrically it speaks of Adele coming to terms with it.
The song has received acclaim by music critics, following a well-received performance of the song at the 2011 BRIT Awards, making it her first number one in the UK, and the longest reigning number one single in the UK of the decade so far. It has also become the longest reigning number one single in Ireland in 2011 spending six weeks at number one. It has also topped the charts in New Zealand and Australia. In July 2011, it became the first single of the decade to sell a million units in the UK.
Not sure if you noticed but there is a clue in there
Think about it for a minute, most articles and videos that people call ‘their content’ are…
well…
shhiiyyyaaattttt, right?
Some half assed piece, thrown together, copied from somewhere else
ok, maybe not copied, but ‘put into your own words’
I know how it goes, i used to be that dude.
While i agree with practice until your freekin eyes bleed
I disagree with practice makes perfect
why?
Well, if you continue to practice summin that doesnt work,
it wont just ‘start to work’…
you need to be heading down the right path so to speak
Back to Adele…
everytime i hear it, it still has an effect on me, not just me, it gripped the nation
Here is why…
It came from a place of deep personal emotion
Everyone could resonate with it.
Adele describes exactly how you felt at a particular moment in your life
Most people have had a broken heart
The pain comes flooding back
She stirred up your emotion
Produce content from a place of deep personal emotion…
Think about a topic or an issue that you feel really strongly about…
Get yourself soooooo worked up, into a heightened state of emotion
you know, the kind…
you feel like you could punch the f****n postman in the actual head
then write, let it flow
People will be drawn to read it, almost like magnets pulling their eyeballs
You will learn much more this inside the Yaghi labs, so get involved
lots of love
