Ryan Higa and Megan Lee: Will They Surpass Psy?

Posted on January 27, 2013 by Btscelebs

The “Gangnam Style” fire is starting to simmer down and the world is looking for the next big thing… on YouTube!

After years of working in the K-entertainment circuit, I heard the names Megan Lee and Ryan Higa, but I never knew much about either of them. All I knew was Megan was a teen actress/singer and Ryan was the funny guy (comedy geared toward grown-ups) on YouTube.

Years later, I discovered these two have hit the YouTube jackpot! Ryan is a megastar with well over a billion channel views and Megan has landed a contract with an entertainment agency in South Korea. Separately, they have achieved a great deal, but put these two together and I think Psy may have some stiff competition!

They both have big personalities. She has the music and he has the name…. I mean comedy. Together, they are “Gangnam Style” with the Asian style to top it off.

Psy may have gotten the SuperBowl Commercial, but Ryan has already released his video on YouTube. I’m highly anticipating the next big act after Psy….and I just wonder if they have the “Y” Factor.

Manti is taking the high road!

The superstar college linebacker is not letting his latest catfish scandal get the best of him. Following his in-depth interview on “Katie” this past week, the Notre Dame athlete tweeted the following message:

“‘No one can make you feel inferior without your consent!’ -Eleanor Roosevelt”

Marc Trestman is here… will Tebow follow?

Recently, the media has been speculating the possibility of the New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow joining the Chicago Bears. His former football mentor Marc Trestman, who helped train him for the 2010 draft and Senior Bowl, was hired in Chi-town.

The new head coach has already hired his new staff, but I’m curious  if you want Tebow to be his next hire.
