blogging about vlogging: Megan Jones

Megan Jones is a youtuber with a rising fan base at over 21,000 subscribers on her channel MeganGore. A Colorado native, she's a singer, currently at college in Nebraska for music ministry.

Megan's channel is full of beautiful songs, both her own and covers...and even parodies. She calls her original songs 'song blogs' and usually simply adds a number when uploading. She sings covers of songs and even takes multiple songs and mashes them together in one epic performance like Fall Out Boy songs and Panic! at the Disco songs for example. She's even pulled various songs together to make a 'WHITE GIRL MASHUP' to go with her last Halloween costume...being a stereotypical white girl.

Still into You Parody

Megan is good to us with comedy even in her songs. She sometimes takes popular songs and gives them new words in funny [and usually extremely relatable] parodies. Her parody of 'Still into You' by Paramore is about being a fangirl...and so is the Taylor Swift parody, 'We Will Never Ever be Together.' See...relatable.

See, one of the things I love about Megan is that she's a fangirl as well as a youtuber...and a fangirl of youtubers even. She loves Dan and Phil and happily ships herself with Dan and so quite a few of her videos hint towards her inner fangirl. In fact, what brought her perhaps the most popularity were songs she wrote about Dan and Phil. The danisnotonfire song found great success quickly and the AmazingPhil song followed, that followed by a song for Crabstickz about the big 'quitting YouTube scare' he gave everyone once. And then kind of came a song for KickthePJ.

Megan got to preform at the VidCon 2013 open mic concert [I was there; she did lovely and she looked beautiful.]. After she was done with the songs she had prepared, she was told she still had time and the audience [myself included...much to her dismay] demanded she sing the Dan and Phil songs. She caved and it did make everyone very happy. [Megan's VidCon vlog #1]

In addition to songs, Megan does make vlogs on her main channel and sometimes also on her side channel, megangorewhy. She updates us on college life sometimes which I particularly enjoy since we're going through this period of our lives at the same time. :j Megan is such a sweetheart and I'm so glad I've gotten to meet her. She's definitely my favorite female youtuber. She's wonderful.
