Hattin' YT - My Youtube Account

Lately, I have been very 'slow' on making videos on my roxannehilton2 account on Youtube, and I have spent a good three years on the account, but I would like to end it. I wrote this update here because I don't like too much stuff in my information box, so I posted a link, like a note. Well, the main thing: I am leaving YT, my account is still open, my videos are still there, and why I am leaving....

*Updates, Important to 'Friends' & Subscribers ! *
Hi, again. The majority of people have known that I have spent three good years here, making videos, making friendships, and so forth. I have really enjoyed everything. But all things must come to an end, and so I figured that I will stop making videos or any further communication with users on the web. I have various reasons on why I am leaving, and I have three of them. So I though I'd post these... 1.) Copyright - for YT users who make their videos with audio (music) that is not created by themselves (meaning the creator of the video is  placing a band or other artists' music on there video/s) will most usually be filled for what is called a "Copyright Claim". This is a claim made by Youtube stating that you practically 'stole' the audio, and it is not yours. At first, I thought that they meant that the audio I was using in my videos wasn't paid for (buying the songs properly), but I found out that this was not the whole case - I recently decided to go further into  reading Youtube's 'Copyright Guide' and it stated that "even if you bought the audio, you will be filled for copyright problems. Look on the FAQ Of Copyright, it states this: *Q.I purchased this myself! *A.Just because you paid for a DVD, CD, or MP3 doesn't necessarily mean that you own all of the necessary rights to upload it to Youtube. Even if you give the copyright owner credit, posting these videos on Youtube may violate copyright law.' [End]... Hm. This upsets me, because I am sure if we gave big money to Youtube we'd not run into this stuff, just look at Vevo, and anyway, Vevo is a 'real' company and have asked for permission. Sometimes I really wonder if they do at times. Probably  2.) I have no more ideas nor time. 3.) The account is not as successful as it was in video making. Well that's all. My accounts still up, and hey, I sign in every once in awhile to check out whats going on. Thanks for the awesome years! :-)

Norway's Gift to Sweden

                                                      
Frida Lyngstad was born on November 15th, 1945 in wartime Norway to a German soldier and Norwegian teenager. She was raised by her grandmother, scince her parents where not around. Her mother died when she was a year, and Frida didn't meet her father until she was 32, thinking until than that her father had died at sea in a wreck from his ship that was traveling back to Germany. So, due to this, Frida was raised by her grandmother in Sweden. Sweden was much safer than Norway at the time, scince children where being taken away at there at the time. Frida started singing at young age, she sang at the red cross when she was 11, and before that she sang various folk songs with her grandmother, During the 1960s, she drew much interest in jazz music, and she was in a band at 13. During the 60s, she had been in two bands, appeared on various telivision shows, sang in various contest, and recorded many songs. But it was in the 70s when she became more noticed, and she had her first solo album in 1971 of March, produced by her fiance' Benny Andersson, the other half of ABBA who was a keyboardist in the rock band, The Hep Stars. ABBA would become the fourth best selling band, they sell about 365 million records in total. ABBA consisted of two couples, ex-folk singers Agnetha Faltskog and Bjorn Ulvause (both married at the time) and Frida and Benny. Frida was known to be the most enthusiastic one of the group; meaning she was very energetic. She had amazing charisma on stage, and was the only member who truly loved touring and meeting the fans one on one. Usualy, she was overshadowed by ABBA's blonde pinup girl Agnetha, but that did not mean that Frida wasn't beautiful. She could have been the perfect James Bond girl, and was very model like, for she was tall and lean. She also had beautiful changing blue eyes, brown hair, high cheek bones, and that sculptural nose, and she did not have to wear pounds of make up to look beautiful. She was sexy, mysterious, and classy, having a certainly unique fashion sense with her ever changing hairstyles, and glamorous stage costumes and overall fashion (she could have been like a female David Bowie in that case). Her voice was amazing, it was a sultry, rich mezzo soprano voice that could sing any way, and that would be the voice you herd in half of the ABBA hits. Her personality was great. She could be hot temperd, but she was very caring and compasionate towards others, and she was also very modest, and had the most amazing sense of humour and wittiness, even though she could be quite at times. Frida worked with the best people in the music industry, coloborating with Phil Colins in 1982 with her world wide hit album, "Something's Going On", a progressive rock one. She also worked with Jon Lord of Deep Purple, and many others. She had so many things happen to her, and I'm amazed on how strong she is. Enjoy the next pictures.

Beautiful Sharon

                                               Sharon Tate was an American actress and model during the 1960s, and is one of the biggest inspirations. Sharon was born on January 24th, 1943 in Dallas, Texas, and was the first of the three Tate daughters. Sharon was commented on her beauty by others, and started entering beautie pagents, (even though her parents had no ambitions in a show busness for Sharon). Sharon's family moved around a lot during the early years. Her career started small, but it did not stay like that for long. I think that Sharon was beautiful on the inside and out, and I also think she's a great actress and a definite inspiration on many young women.... Even though she is sadly not here with us today, it's more important on what she did that made her a legacy, (more than her death) and that was being an actress, and her beautiful personality and image. I love how the "fame" did not turn her into a self centerd person; for she was always modest, generous ambitous, kind, and was a woman who was very excited on starting a family. Some people said that she was shy, but the people who knew her the best thought she was a fun loving girl, and according to Debra Tate I believe, Sharon was a very funny girl and even a little bit of a prankster (check out the site, has a lot of cool facts about Sharon!) and so this post is dedicated to Sharon Marie Tate! (:















                                                 even though her birthday was Monday, I HAD to make a post for her, and I hope you enjoyed, so happy late birthday:)
