It was hosted by a variety of YouTube celebrities, including The Black Eyed Peas rapper will.i.am, Tom Dickson of Will It Blend, Michael Buckley, The Happy Tree Friends, Fred, Smosh, Esmée Denters and singer Katy Perry, among others. On April 8, 2011, The channel was closed, effectively removing all videos. It was replaced by the YouTube live section page.
Jordanian Queen Rania was also honored at the event with the first ever YouTube Visionary Award for her efforts to combat stereotypes and misconceptions associated with Arabs and Muslims. With over 3 million views, Queen Rania created her own channel on YouTube in March 2008 to start an international conversation, which she called "unscripted, unedited and unfiltered".
As a sponsor for the event, Flip Video gave away a free Flip Video Mino to many of the audience members to record any of the event. A station to upload videos to YouTube from the Mino was also provided, and promoted, in sponsorship of Flip.
A feeling in my heart
Has taken over me
Completely
And boy you are the star
To come into my life
You can take me
Of all the guys I've ever known
They've never been as wonderful
So special and so sweet to me
In all the dreams I've ever dreamed
No one has been as good to me
And you're the one to answer my dream
Why do I believe
That I belong to you
How can I explain the symphony
As far as I can tell
My heart's under your spell
And you're the only one
The only one for me
I feel you in my soul
Your heart's caressing me
So deeply
I'm under your control
You're all I'll ever need
You can use me
Of all the times I've been alone
No one has been as beautiful
So strong and understanding to me
In all the ways that I can see
No one has been as good for me
And you will always be the one for me
Why do I believe
That I belong to you
How can I explain the symphony (the symphony)
As far as I can tell (as far as I can tell)
My heart's under your spell
And you're the only one
The only one for me
Why do I believe
That I belong to you
How can I explain the symphony (the symphony)
As far as I can tell (as far as I can tell)
My heart's under your spell
And you're the only one
For me
For me
For me
You're the only one
