- She's just so real. I think that's why
she has so many fans and followers.
- (Emma) And we're going to eat at Urth right now
and I'm just feeling good. - She's so young, too
and it's crazy how fast she grew.
♪ (rock intro) ♪
- (FBE) Today, we are gonna be showing you a selection
from one of YouTube's rising stars, Emma Chamberlain.
- I love her.
- Okay. - (FBE) Have you heard of her?
- No.
- I watched her for probably a couple month period
over the summer when she was really starting to blow up.
- I remember seeing her one time in David Dobrik's vlogs.
For me, Emma Chamberlain is a bit mixed, I guess,
'cause she's like, "Oh, I'm quirky.
Oh, look at me."
- (FBE) So, with her on the rise, we felt the best
thing to do was show some of her most viewed videos
and see what you think about it. - Okay, I love her.
- (Emma) What's up guys, it's me.
I'm with my [bleep] sister squad.
- Sister squad! I love the sister squad.
- Okay, well, big fan of James Charles
and fan of the Dolan twins.
- (Emma) I'm with my [bleep] sister squad.
- (Ethan) Is this how you start your videos?
- (Emma) Yeah. What's wrong with it?
- All right, the sister squad shredded this here for sure.
- (Emma) Where are we going? One, two, three.
- (Everyone) Vegas. - Oh my God, I love them,
all of them.
- I remember I was going to be in Vegas this same week
and I remember I was like, I need to find out
where they're going.
- (James) What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas on the vlog.
- (Emma) On the vlog. - Her video editing is
just so prime, always and it's so busy
and I love it.
- If there's one thing I love about her,
I do like her editing style.
- (crowd cheering)
- (male voice) Look at this hot tub!
- (Emma) Something I've been working on.
- I can't wait 'til I get older and have friends like this
and just travel.
- (Grayson) This is 57 stories.
- (Emma) Yeah, we're on the 57th floor.
- She just sounds really privileged.
- I think it's cool because they all make videos together,
so if you're a fan of one person, you can see
their side of it.
- (cameraman) That's what happened today.
♪ (upbeat music) ♪
- Just girly things. Just being 18
and being a millionaire.
- (Emma) So, we're gonna go ziplining.
I've never done that before.
- Zip Lining seems really cool to do in Vegas.
- (woman) Her parent has to be here.
♪ (dramatic music) ♪
- (Emma) Will you sign for me?
- "But she offered to sign as my guardian so I could
go on the zip line." That's kinda funny.
- (cameraman) That looks pretty intense.
- This is actually terrifying.
- (James) So fast.
- (Emma) Why does it smell like barbecue sauce?
- (Ethan) It smells like barbecue sauce?
- All right, if I come across it, I think I would watch this.
- (Emma) We're leaving, so we're gonna say goodbye
to this. Bye.
- Okay, I'll admit, that was pretty good.
- It's kind of basic content, not gonna lie.
- I love that she doesn't give a [bleep].
She's who she is on camera and I know some people
might think it's too much or annoying,
but I love her personality and she's so extra.
I love it.
- (FBE) That was Emma's number one most viewed video
with what is called the sister squad
along with James Charles and the Dolan twins,
who often collaborate with each other on their channels.
- All of them together are just so powerful.
- I clicked James' video and he did a video,
the Halloween makeup with all four of them
and then I saw Emma, I was like, "OMG wait,
is this new?" And then I just started--
and then I saw all their other collabs
and I was like, "Where have I been?"
- (FBE) So, the next videos are all from her top ten
most viewed videos of all time, but these are videos
that are just her to showcase that aspect of her channel, too.
- All right, got you.
- (Emma) Today we're going to Palm Springs, Palm Desert,
Coachella Valley for Coachella Music Festival.
I'm so [bleep] excited. - I think I've seen this one.
- I watched this one and she was like,
"I literally can not go back to Coachella."
- (Emma) I've literally been here for five minutes,
already at the coffee place. I don't even give a--
- Her obsession with coffee, with Alfred's and Philz.
Oh my God, I love her.
- (Emma) This was nine dollars. I'm about to be the judge
if it was worth the nine dollars. It was kinda worth the nine dollars.
- Her and iced coffee.
- Yes, Kali Uchis.
- (Emma) It's literally 8:00. We have six more hours.
I'm exhausted. I wanna go to bed,
but guess what? The ride never stops.
- Coachella, baby.
- (Emma) Hi. It's day three.
Let's talk. - Wow, she looks like a mess.
- (Emma) My body has been in excruciating pain
at all times. My upper back,
- She's just so real. I think that's why she has
so many fans and followers.
- (Emma) My feet have blisters all over them.
My voice hurts. I have dust all up
inside my nose. I am a mess.
- You know, that just sucks right, when you're tired
because you go to Coachella.
- (Emma) Literally here again. - Back again, nine dollars.
- When it's people like Cardi B, it's worth it.
- (Emma) At this point, Coachella became living hell.
Okay, I didn't wanna be here anymore.
- She didn't have to go.
- (Emma) But I still had to be there for another
hour and a half. It was not good.
- I love that. No one addresses that either,
how sweaty and gross you look at Coachella.
- (Emma) Everybody's always talking about how amazing it is
and how perfect it is and how flawless it is
and how perfect it is and how it's the best
time of the year and how it's so fun
and there's no flaws and it's totally worth
the thousands of dollars that you invest into it.
The funny part about it is it's not even
actually investing because you don't ever actually
make any money back. Overall, I think I'd rate
Coachella a six out of ten. It's exhausting,
but afterwards, you're like, "This is just..."
I can't even believe I just went through that.
- She can't, she can't. It's a very difficult life.
- She's like, "Yeah, the thousands of dollars that I spent."
It's just so funny because she's probably being sent
by companies.
- I think some people, when they talk about
big events like that, they are fake.
They just say what they think people wanna hear.
I like when people are honest like that.
- She's everything that I feel but she just says it.
She just doesn't give any-- she doesn't give a crap
about anybody or anything and I just love that for her.
- (Emma) We're on our way to our photo shoot.
I'm so excited, but we have to drive
all the way to Laguna which is an hour away from me,
but guess what? That's okay because
it's gonna be so worth it and so fun.
- Aw, I haven't seen this video in a long time.
I kind of rewatch her old videos when she hasn't posted anything new.
- (Emma) We literally watched as I'm actually crying.
I'm crying laughing. - She has a lot of voiceovers.
- (Emma) Literally watched Ellie. So, she's drinking her water.
- I love Ellie. Oh my God, she's hilarious.
- (Emma) She drops her cap and she's looking for it.
This girl can not find it anywhere,
so she takes my water bottle. - The fact that she addresses that,
I love it.
- (Emma) She takes off the cap from my water
and puts it on the top of her water
because she lost the cap even though it's literally
under her ass. Thank you, Ellie.
You are so brave.
- She's exposing her.
- (Emma) Oh. No, Hannah.
- Okay, I'm not gonna lie, she is kinda funny.
- (Emma) Oh my God, this is perfect.
I'm gonna put my camera away because it's sandy
and I don't wanna get sand in my new camera
that I just spent way too much money on.
Thank you.
Shoot is done! - Yes.
- (Emma) And we're going to eat at Urth right now
and I'm just feeling good. - She's so young, too
and it's crazy how fast she grew.
- I wouldn't really watch it. This is just some person
complaining.
- Kind of living the dream life and that's what people wanna watch.
I wanna be going to Laguna today and going to Urth Cafe.
- (Emma) So, this morning I woke up and I was like,
"Okay, gotta film a video today."
Why is everybody staring at me? Jesus.
- She's so-- she always feels like
she's being attacked.
- (Emma) We're trying vegan fast food today.
- Oh, she's a vegan. Oh.
- (Emma) I don't really ever get fast food
because there really are no vegan fast food options.
- Vegan fast food? That's nasty.
- (Emma) Jack in the Box, here we come, bitches.
Okay, first thing we're gonna be trying is the curly fries.
- Yeah, I remember watching this video and it just
made me realize how glad I am to not be vegan.
- (Emma) They [bleep] this up and they really [bleep]
everything up, so let's just get right into it.
- She's so vulgar. I love it.
- (Emma) Holy [bleep]. Are you [bleep] kidding?
- I love curly fries.
- (Emma) This is the best [bleep] thing I've ever tasted
in my life. Oh my God.
This is not [bleep] fair. - She's making me hungry.
- (Emma) Literally ten out of ten.
♪ (celebratory music) ♪ - I'ma have to get some after.
- (Emma) I'm gonna try the teriyaki bowl
which is really [bleep] concerning.
What the [bleep]? Oh my God.
Ew.
- Oh, what the [bleep]?
- (Emma) I know it's just vegetables,
but it literally smells like a [bleep] cow.
- Because it's broccoli.
- (Emma) Okay, the rice is good, but it has an undertone
of sock. - Sock.
- (Emma) I give this a solid two out of ten.
♪ (celebratory music) ♪
- Yeah, I mean I don't even have to taste it
and I feel like it's garbage.
- I love her. She's just so brutally honest
with everything and she's so funny.
She just says things how it is.
I love her.
- (Emma) So, as you guys probably know
if you've been watching me for a while
or if you don't and you're just taking a wild guess,
I don't really care about my appearance too much.
- I feel like that's her thing, her brand, is that she's
very plain and simple, yet she's really pretty
just naturally.
- (Emma) But today, I wanted to change that.
I wanted to see if there was a way that I could
make myself look a little bit more like
a normal sixteen year old girl. - She's sixteen?
- All right, it's a little makeover video, okay.
- The way she edits it, I don't know what it is,
but it's just-- it goes by fast
and it's funny.
- (Emma) Just got my nails and my--
- Don't touch them. You'll mess them up.
- (Emma) Brows done. While the lady was
doing my nails, she was definitely judging them.
- Yeah, she breaks all her acrylics.
Every single time I watch her Snapchat Story,
there's always a broken nail on there, I swear.
- (Emma) The next day, but I'm still wearing
the same thing because I am literally disgusting like that.
Today's the day I'm getting my hair--
- Very relatable, very relatable.
- This feels like a satirical channel.
- (Emma) I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
It's not exactly as blonde as I wanted.
- I kinda miss her blonde, but I really like her dark.
- (Emma) Honestly, I think that I still look like
a twelve year old boy. - Okay, I related to that
video a lot.
- The editing's pretty good. It's not the content
I would watch. I like the Casey Neistat
type vlogs.
- Her videos are so fast paced and I think it works really well.
With her videos, there's always something happening
and always something going on
and I love that about her.
- (FBE) So, Emma began posting videos on her channel in 2017,
but it wasn't until 2018 when Emma really blew up.
- Oh yeah. Last summer, she blew up so much.
I remember this.
- (FBE) She went from having one million subscribers
in the beginning of the year to six million subscribers
by the end of the year. - That is insane.
- (FBE) How big of a deal has Emma Chamberlain
become on YouTube to you and other teens?
- Not that much to me, but I know we had
a So You Wanna Be Famous day at my school
and my friend dressed up as Emma Chamberlain.
She wore the scrunchie and docks
and everyone knew about it.
Everyone was like, "Oh, you're trying to be Emma."
- On the internet, she's a huge deal.
Big success, totally blew up, super influential
in YouTube culture.
- Teenagers just a little bit younger than me,
they have a different view of fame.
It's going towards people that are pretty privileged
in their life and everything. It's not healthy to try
and aspire to be someone that isn't that in touch
with the world.
- It's relatable and that's what a lot of teenagers enjoy now
and she's not even-- I don't even think she's
super duper funny, but just the things she says,
I feel you.
- I watch her, my sister watches her, all of my friends
know who she is. I was watching some of her videos,
I was like, "Oh my God, she's so real and so funny."
and then I subscribed and then all of a sudden,
I just kept seeing her over and over again.
- (FBE) So, Emma's editing style has sometimes
been referred to as almost a new genre
or style of video vlogs, so it's a style that many
creators of late have started to use and Emma has
arguably popularized the style the most.
- She'll be like, insert, edit,
and then she'll talk with the fuzzy screen
and the filter from her computer.
- (FBE) So from what you saw or know about Emma's content,
how does her editing style impact it?
- Well, her editing just really gives off
a sarcastic, satirical vibe for her videos,
so that just initially tells the audience to be like,
don't really take this seriously.
- It depends on what your channel is and how
you portray yourself for what edit you should use
and the edit she uses fits her personality exactly.
- The editing, it kinda makes it more entertaining.
If it was just her talking, a lot of people would
not wanna gravitate towards themselves watching that,
but with her editing, I feel like it makes them
more interested and they find it more entertaining.
- (FBE) So, at just seventeen years old, Emma is one
of the youngest success stories coming from the YouTube platform.
- Jesus. I thought she was in her 20s.
- (FBE) So, as a teen yourself, how do you view other
teenage creators? - A little jealous, kind of.
I know I don't see all of them, but I do see the successful ones
and I do want that for myself, 'cause that sets
the foundation for what you wanna do later
and opens up a lot of doors.
- Finding out how to do something and doing it
while you're young is great. To see people blow up that quick
is great. I think it's great.
It shows that anyone can do it.
- The internet is such a new platform
that it's cool that children are starting out
and learning how to do things like edit
their own videos and making their own
production companies and producing their own videos
and seeing success with that.
- To show media and especially older people in the world
that a seventeen year old girl with a camera and a Macbook
can make millions of dollars just in her room.
That's mind blowing to think about.
- (FBE) Finally, now that you've seen some of her content
and gotten to know a little bit more about her
and as a teen yourself, what would you wanna see
from Emma as she continues to grow up online
and grow in her fanbase? - I would love her to--
who she is right now is amazing.
I'd like her to stay true to who she is.
- When she collabs with other people,
it's a really good thing. I wanna see more of that.
- I say just keep the way she's going
because obviously, she's doing something good.
I thought she was just, "Quirky girl here, hello."
But I mean, she has a great style with her videos.
I really enjoy them.
- It's important for her if she wants to continue
just growing her channel and both herself
and as a person is to just grow herself
and be a good role model. The values that are important
and original and that's how people can grow.
- She's too hard on herself and I don't want her
to be like that. All I want is for her
to not be so stressed out because we'll enjoy
any content that she puts out.
