I kinda thought some here were correct in assuming that 'event' to be staged... why is everyone acting as if it were for real?
co-sign. how'd akon know the dude wasn't gonna put up a fight or at least fucking object when akon starts to pick him up by his groin? its weird that the dude even got up on stage...like he just won a prize or something.
I wouldn't be surprised if talent scouts are looking at myspace home videos for potential talents.
I was reading just yesterday about how a lot of the more popular/viewed 'vlogs' are completely bogus, either actors trying to become 'known' or companies w/an agenda... I think now that so much money has been sunk into youtube they're trying hard to find a way to generate interest/funds out of it...
Oh, and if folks were hurt in the Akon incident I sure do hope he's held accountable - I wasn't trying to defend him above I just thought there wasn't any way that could actually be for real (especially just after his other damning incident, dude really doesn't think these things through apparently)

Maybe I'm wrong but in a few days I bet we hear about some "malfunction" and it was just a stunt.
thimulated theth. peace, stein. . .
wow.
Thats quite a bullshit judgement to put on somebody. Even if it is a joke, it's not funny.
Besides being messageboard royalty, Brian is my dude. Fall back or fall back.
no. its a crappy cellphone video. you can hardly see whats going on. the kid did look kind of happy to go up on stage.
