YouTuber Charlie McDonnell: Blowing Minds and Loving Monkeys

Charlie Mcdonnell, better known as charlieissocoollike, has to be my favourite YouTuber on earth.

This Brit has so much talent with just making videos, it's great.  But with his musicianship?  Mind-blowing.

He's created silly little songs, along with more mature tunes too.  "Bread" is a song that I absolutely love.  It's catchy and a story of a girl who is having troubles with living and being in the bread industry.  His voice is beautiful and anyone could appreciate it.

"Duet With Myself" is great.  In the video he recorded them separately, put them in the same frame, so it looks like there is two of him.  The lyrics are clever and his ukulele skills are crazy.

"A Song About Monkeys" has to be my favourite song by Charlie.  It's about him liking monkeys, and there's two of him in the frame again, but here's the catch- the other Charlie in the frame is in an ape suit and playing a uke at the same time.  It's intense, plus he whistles and it looks really funny.

"A Song About Love" is innovative and creative.  He doesn't use any real instruments, just household objects like boxes and glasses.  It's so clever and witty that I wish I had enough skill to do it.
