Rise Of A YouTube Star: Alexyss K. Tylor


One of the expectations of joining the YouTube community, for me, was to learn how to use some basic video equipment. However, I've learned a ton more in just three months.


My name is Ryan Welton, and I am a YouTube junkie.


I create videos for the community about jazz, music, songwriting. My video structure is one part lesson, one part music. I've somehow managed 31 subscribers in just 90 days, garnered almost 20,000 page views, earned several comments of praise and many of ridicule.


It's the latter that's been the toughest aspect of YouTube celebrity to get used to, although I'm hardly a YouTube celebrity. However, one former Atlanta public-access television host is about to become a global star.


Her name is Alexyss Tylor, and she talks about sex.


She doesn't merely talk about sex; she preaches. Her public access show is called Vagina Power, and while I don't believe she appears on Comcast Ch. 25 on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. anymore, she really is about to become an international phenomenon via somebody's ingenius decision to post her work on YouTube.


She won't become famous because she talks about sex.


She's going to become a star because she is hilarious beyond hilarious.


The good folks on E!'s "The Soup" featured Tylor in their "The Mail Nurse" segment. That plug led me to do a little YouTube searching for our fair (er, foul) sex professor, and what I found not only stunned me, it has caused me to make the following proclamation.


Alexyss K. Tylor is officially the funniest person on the face of the planet.


It's not close. If Ms. Tylor wanted to do a national tour with this routine, she would be a millionaire many times over. While many believe this must be a viral video to promote something secondary, like a movie or a business of some sort, my friends and I can find no evidence that this isn't completely on the up and up.


Tylor's discussion of sex and the metaphors she uses and stories she tells are so over the top that they're hardly believable. The fact that the woman's unassuming, shy mother co-hosts the show is stunningly brilliant comedically, albeit unintended.


The more that I participate in the YouTube community, the more that I realize that I'm never destined for stardom. However, it also causes me to understand that it's the perfect conduit for discovering the undiscovered.


And, in my many months of wasting time on the glorious video community Web site, I have found nothing that has entertained me quite like Ms. Alexyss K. Tylor.


However, so that I may keep any friendships established through the creation of this blog, watching Ms. Tylor's fine work at your place of employment is sure to lead to your dismissal. It's foul, vulgar, mind-numbingly funny, oddly intellectual at a base level (the woman is no dummy) and, as I noted a billion times before -- brilliant.


Watch at your own risk.


But be sure to thank me for pointing the way.

    C'mon, man... if you're going to write about a YouTube star, you have to link to or embed her videos.  

  2. # Blogger Ryan Welton

    Actually, I did. I linked to her site; however, because of the nature of her videos, I decided not to embed them. This blog is now aggregated and syndicated, which means that I need to be at least mildly sensitive to folks in offices.

    Besides, you're not lazy, are you? Go to YouTube and look her up. :-)

    OK, I've linked to her YouTube listings over the word "watch," but I'll remind you all ... this is absolutely not safe for work. It doesn't offend my ears, but I cannot be responsible for what happens to you when this woman says some of the things she says or the ribs you'll break when you laugh at them.

    Yes, Alexyss K Tylor is hilarious. I am currently trying to point out how brilliant she is.

    OMG. This lady is the funniest I have ever seen. I saw her Bust It Baby video and I couldn't stop laughing. But as a women, it made perfect sense. If more women had that mentality, we would be respected more. I know this is not Oprah..but you get the point
