- She's from American Idol. - All right, Jeffree Star.
All right. I don't... I have no idea what this is yet.
- Oh, is this Jeffree Star? - I've seen this.
This is Shane Dawson's new series on Jeffree.
- (gasps) This is the trailer, Shane Dawson's trailer.
- I don't really know too much about these two.
- I'm so excited for this series to drop.
You don't even understand. - Oh my gosh. I'm so--
I saw the first series, and I was shook to the core.
- I've actually seen this trailer. It was amazing.
I actually got emotional at one point. - Oh, dang.
There's some high class stuff. - That's a really nice plane.
(chuckles) - See, I don't watch either
of them at all. - This better be over an hour,
each segment. - I know that they filmed this
since January, so it covers a long period of time.
- ♪ The ghost on the wall that's... ♪ - It's like a love song for the two,
like shipping them or something.
- I wish I could live a day as Jeffree Star.
- ♪ But it all is starting to blur like a dream ♪
- This music is so sentimental. It makes me feel like the documentary
is gonna be kind of sad. - The way this is put together
really just shows the power of editing. - They're not just showing
the acting side to it. It's just everything.
They're showing every aspect of their life.
- (chuckles) I want one. - The pig mirror!
- I want to do that with the pig mirror.
- Oh, he works out? That's right.
- Oh, yes. Lift, baby! - I'm still not really sure
what the meaning of the video is supposed to be.
- ♪ I'm invisible ♪ - They're just such a powerful duo.
I stan. - ♪ Waiting for a standing... ♪
- I really do like their friendship together.
I do watch their videos together. They're really special. (laughs)
- He's been trying to get into makeup. It's so cute.
- Stop. Ryland and Shane are so cute.
- Ah, love Ryland. Aw, they're so cute!
- Maybe it's like it-- are they going on a tour
or something? - The meetups people have are insane.
- (chuckles) That's like old Jeffree. I feel like Jeffree's gone
through so many stages. He's grown so much.
- (sings along) ♪ No, that's not me ♪ ♪ I'll never be prom queen ♪
Ah, Uno! - ♪ No, that's not me ♪
- What went on here? That's a lot of emotions.
You can feel it. - Awww, Andrew.

- Shane's just an amazing YouTuber. I love him so much.
- ♪ It's okay, it's all right ♪ - Oh my gosh. So many people
are crying or stressed out. Oh, OHHH! Ahhh! I heard about that.
- James Charles. I remember that scandal.
- I feel like if I watched them, I might understand it,
but I have no idea what's going on.
- Oh. That was a whole scandal.
It was a big shift in the beauty industry.
- ♪ 'Cause I wanna be... ♪ - A lot of stress on this guy.
- ♪ ...somebody to someone ♪ ♪ But it all... ♪
- Is he proposing? (gasps) - Awww! In March.
It was-- when I saw the post on Instagram, I was about to cry.
- Ooh, Tati. (sucks in breath) And everyone's just crying.
I just wonder what's actually happening.
- This is what I like, because they're showing
the scandals that happened in the beauty community,
and I can't wait to see how they dealt with it.
- ♪ I'll never be prom queen ♪
- I feel like they hold nothing back when they film these.
You really see the vulnerability. - ♪ That's not me ♪
♪ I'll never be prom queen ♪ - (chuckles) All the scandals
both of them have gone through. That's crazy.
- (claps) The Beautiful World of Jeffree Star, October 1st.
Mmm. Oh, okay. So, it's a trailer.
- October 1st! Ah-ha! I can't wait.
- My stomach just dropped. Oh my god.
- October 1st! That's coming up!
Ahhh! (laughs) It has the big drama.
It has all that good stuff. I can't wait.
- His documentaries are so well thought out and put together,
and I honestly don't even think it should be on YouTube.
I believe it should be on Netflix or something.
- (FBE) So, that was a trailer for Shane Dawson's newest
documentary series, The Beautiful World of Jeffree Star.
- Yes. I've heard all about it. - (FBE) It already has
well over 10 million views since it was released last week.
- 10 mil?! Holy [bleep]. - Whoa! I mean, I'm not surprised.
It's Shane. (chuckles) - I don't know what it is,
but I just-- I can get so into it.
- (FBE) What did you think of the trailer?
- I liked it a lot. It's interesting,
because it didn't show too much, but it gave the vibe of it.
- I mean, I was captivated. Like, despite me not really knowing
what was going on, it really made me
feel more human, 'cause seeing other people
obviously be human is enough for you to be.
Tears were shed. You know, you could feel stress from them.
You could see they're going through it for sure.
It's not just a happy life. - When it first dropped,
my first reaction was, "Oh my god. He's doing
another documentary about Jeffree?" 'cause he's already done one.
The clips they showed of the Jeffree/James Charles beef,
that was a huge thing on YouTube for a bit,
and no one really knows what happened. It's gonna be cool to look back
on it now that it's a couple months past
and everything's kind of unearthed. - (FBE) So, how big of a deal
is Shane Dawson and Jeffree Star would you say to teenagers today?
- For me, I feel like I don't even have a choice
but to know who they are. I feel like I would live
under a rock if someone asked me, "You know who this is?"
and I'm like, "No. Who is that?" They're gonna be like,
"Where have you been at? Do you even exist?!"
- They are so up there. It's actually insane.
I think people keep up with Shane and Jeffree
and James Charles and all of those more than people used to
about the Kardashians. - (FBE) So, Shane has been on YouTube
for a long time, starting back in 2008.
- Whoa, that's a long-- Whoa! Wait. That's 11 years.
- I was seven. - I was in kindergarten. (chuckles)
- (FBE) Teens that watched Shane when he first started are now adults,
but you are teens today also watching him.
What do you think about the longevity of YouTube stars
like Shane and Jeffree? - It's great to see,
'cause they're inspirations to a lot of YouTubers.
You can tell, you know? Big dogs like them
have shed a lot of their energy onto other people
to inspire them to make their own videos.
- A big round of applause to them, because people switch their opinion
and their minds on their taste and what they wanna see so quickly.
They're really taking what people wanna see and transforming themselves
in that way. - People have their blow up phases
and they kind of make their content and then they--
a lot of people fizzle out. And it's pretty--
there's not a lot of big YouTubers that are still really relevant
from back in that era. And Shane's one of them.
- He's grown so much, and he's still doing it.
And I think he's really staying close to his roots but also evolving
at the same time, which is how you succeed.
- Kian and JC, they've done The Reality House.
And that's not something you would usually see on YouTube,
because YouTube is for shorter videos, and their video was
like 30 minutes long. It's like an episode.
So, I feel like he is influencing people
to not keep on the YouTube spectrum. - Shane Dawson's changing the game,
because his level of production value is so high compared
to other YouTube videos. It's just a two-person team.
There's no big production studio or anything.
They're just in their house with a camera,
which is the vision of how YouTube began,
just, you know, people at home with cameras.
- (FBE) So, back to the upcoming Jeffree Star documentary,
it was announced around February of 2019
that Shane is launching a product line with Jeffree,
some of which may have been shown in the trailer.
- I had no idea that Shane did makeup. - You would never think Shane
would be making products with Jeffree Star.
- Is that the pig mirror? You're kidding!
I'm SO excited for that! - (FBE) So, what do you think
about that aspect potentially being in the series?
- I think it's super interesting, because it brings both of--
their friendship is very genuine, and it just brings
both of them together. - Pretty good marketing scheme
to be honest 'cause not only are you gonna wanna buy it,
but you know exactly what happened in the process. (chuckles)
- That's gonna really hold with the fans if they can see
how their merch has made. And Shane has a really strong
fan base, so I think that's really gonna resonate.
- If it's really diving in their life, it's a part of their life, you know?
It's their life, and we wanna know what it's like to release a product
like that. - That makes me wanna buy
the merch even more, 'cause I'm not gonna sit there
and watch people be like, "Buy my merch! Buy my merch!"
every frickin' video, so it's good that you get to see
the journey of how he's making it,
what him and Jeffree are collaborating on.
- (FBE) The documentaries Shane has made have been among
the most popular series in YouTube history.
But some have been critical, feeling they can be
a little one-sided or overdramatic.
- Yeah. - There was a lot of controversy
on Twitter. I saw. A lot of people were tweeting about it
and were saying how it might be biased,
especially towards the beauty community.
Just from seeing how raw it is, I think it's gonna be very genuine.
- (FBE) Others feel like it takes too long for him to release
the content, sometimes many months. So, by the time it releases,
some of the content is not current anymore.
- He shouldn't be criticized at all in my opinion.
His hard work and dedication are so powerful that even
if it takes months, honestly, whatever he releases
will be relevant again. - (FBE) So, what do you think
about the criticism? - I've seen so much negativity
about them, but what doesn't have any negativity in it anymore?
He's been doing a great job. - I've never questioned
how genuine Shane Dawson is, because he's built up
so much credibility throughout his YouTube career.
I think he cares too much about his viewers
to put out content that he doesn't truly believe in.
- People wanna pick at everything, but at the end of the day,
he's really, really trying to make YouTube a different platform
than what some people know it to be. - (FBE) So finally, by the time
this episode airs, the first episode of Shane's documentary may be out,
and it may be a nine-part series. - Nine?! Oh my god.
This is good, but also not good, because I need to do homework.
- (FBE) So, will you be watching? - I will be watching it.
- I might check it out, but I'm not sure if I'll follow
the series. - I feel kinda inclined.
I would wanna join in on the conversation.
- I will be watching it. It doesn't matter
if it's an hour long an episode, two hours long.
I'm still gonna watch it. - I probably won't check it out
just 'cause it's-- Jeffree Star is the core or whatever.
Maybe if it was someone I'm a little more interested in.
I would definitely watch a Shane FaZe documentary.
That'd be fire. And I feel like that would get a lot of views too.
I mean, they're huge. - I don't have an attention span
for long videos, but I will be watching it.
- 100%. October 1st is on my calendar.
All nine episodes. I'm not losing one minute
of that documentary. (chuckles) - I will watch every single one.
It's definitely pop culture news, which is crazy that YouTube
has this kind of influence now. - Of course I'll be watching!
What the heck? I literally finished all the other series
in one night. I don't think that is a good thing,
but now that it's a nine part-- oh my gosh. This is a challenge,
but I think I'm ready to take on this challenge. (chuckles)
