How is it going guys? What do you personally think about Austin Mahone’s career?🎤 “What Happened To” is a new series I want to do! Please list below some forgotten artists that you would like a breakdown on their wearabouts🤔 Reminder: I will not be posting this Friday because I will be traveling!! But I will be up and at it at the top of the new year🙌🏽❤️
"What Happened to...?" June's Diary, Jasmine V, Cymphonique, Kid Ink, Sage the Gemini, Trevor Jackson, Mila J, Honey C [if her name doesn't get you demonetized lol]
The problem is almost everything but his talent. The record label, the producers, whoever worked with him behind the scenes etc. They were so focused on him being the next JB that they kept giving him superficial/generic pop songs, which actually works often in the music industry but to a certain extent. They didn't focus on actually developing him as an individual not to mention being a part of young money probably wasn't the best choice for his type of music and demographic. If he had different people altogether working with him it might've been different. The public has always loved "teen idols" but they have to have some originality to keep going. Also would love Jasmine V, Prima J and Jessica Jarrell. But Jasmine V first, she had a lot of potential and I think I already know what went wrong unfortunately.
If we're talking about Bieber clones I'd love a video on Cody Simpson. I remember seeing him EVERYWHERE for like 2 years being propped up as another Justin clone and then just falling off the face of the Earth suddenly
He still makes music and now swims competitively as he used to as a child. He mentioned he had the chance to be bigger but didnt want to go through what they wanted him to do. Same for Emblem3, they refused to make strictly pop music so the label dropped them.
I actually met him on Instagram live!! He added me to his live & I got to talk to him (I have proof too) he was so nice to me & I wax fangirling so hard.
@@HeyNikkiMoon I’ll try to keep this short, When I was a kid I watched both Pokemon and digimon.. but I remember my mom telling my brother and I we had to choose one “mon” we choose Pokemon. Maybe it was the same thing with the record company, ya gotta choose an ustin. Can’t be dealing with both (for whatever reason) 🤣
I thought he was Latino as in the lighter shade of Latinos like Argentina. I know that most people tend to stereotype Latinos as being the medium shade.
Austin Mahone never had a real it factor outside of being cute. Their best bet would've been to try to differentiate him from Justin from the beginning. Introduce him using country or rock from the outset. He might've had a better chance at cutting through.
Agree agree! The career origins is what stifled him completely. It’s unfortunate bc I do think maybe there could’ve been a better Lane for him, but they were fixated on the whole Justin Bieber thing
He is local boy, but I think he was just a pretty face and decent singer but he doesn't seem to have consistency... idk he just doesn't have it either. I just hope nothing bad happened to hom either.
Please do a video on tori kelly and how she isn't as big as she should be because it still baffles me how someone is so amazingly talented, owns a Grammy, is still not as big her peers
i mean. is there really a story there? lol not everyone who won one big award will guarantee a life of fame and success. i think it depends on their star quality. some pople just have it to last longer tbh. tori isn't scandalous. she's good but she hasn't left such a strong mark in the cultural zeitgeist.
I personally think it's because she's a Christian and she is too rooted in faith to ever sign a deal that's going to have her going against her beliefs and morals. She just comes across that way. You know that his industry is looking for foldable assets. She just isn't one of them so they won't push her. We all know she is a great vocalist so if that comes without her having to literally sell her soul that's fine, God made her reach who she was meant to. Just my take.
She’s literally had a career spanning 10+ years, has collabed with some of the biggest artists, like what more do u want and did it ever occur to u that some artists don’t actually want to be in pop/commercial limelight.
@@nickylemons i used to believe this but i also think she lacks PR or some drama (as bad as it sounds) for people to invest on her. i honestly find her one of the best singers in this generation, but she lacks depth/vulnerability to her brand for people to relate and root for.
Two days ago I was singing only my shadow knows on my own while doing chores and all of a sudden I asked myself what happened to Austin and boom RUclips recommemded this video to me. I follow similar content creators so not a shock but a fresh video about Austin was a huge shock😅
Austin has everything to be big pop Star his appearance, voice, style ...his first album was huge has a lot of hits but after the absence from the music industry between 2015_2020 no albums no huge singles no features..let people forget about him so quick
It seemed like he had this recipe and momentum to potentially be the next big thing, especially when pop boys were on the decline but unfortunately, I don’t think his identity was set enough apart from his peers. In the grand scheme, his career highlights weren’t super memorable
I think he was an industry plant and the moment the label saw they were not going to make money with him , they dropped him and stopped investing. Show business is hard.
@@fatimateresa19 he was popular on RUclips before Signing with lable, so they saw a potential in him from me I see the lable is the big reason why he didn't make it cause after 2015 they didn't focus on him or on the music direction that he supposed to take every artist that blow up in young age has to pass through stages and need to develop himself as long as his audience get old for instant Michael Jackson, hurry styles, George Michael, Britney spears and many more
He had a lot of hype and support because of his looks. Unfortunately the music he released was consistently mediocre and would never be good enough to cultivate a loyal fanbase.
honestly. you have to blame his label, a&r, fuck it, his whole team because comparing his music to Justin's the production, lyrics, beats etc were made to be timeless and be no.1 records whereas Austin were just made to create a quick buck.
I was a Fifth harmony fan back then and his Normani crush was obvious 😅 a few normani fans kinda shipped them lol and yes that tour was a mess because of the fans 😂
Crazy how quick people are to find the next knockoff version of someone who hasn’t even been around long. Justin was still very much at the forefront of teen girls’ minds and yet these labels tried to rush to get a piece of the action by vying for a “clone” instead of someone original. Not surprised that the Bieber imitation for Austin Mahone didn’t work because none did.
It was one of the FUNNIEST things watching him with Fifth harmony Awesomeness TV vids and him BLATENTLY being more into Normani but had to like Camila for PR😭😭😭
14:42 japan's music market is actually pretty large, in the 2010s it exceeded usa music market couple times. you would be surprised how vast the industry is and how many western artists release japan versions or even japan only albums. kpop groups debut on japanese market because it's much bigger and some companies treat it like a cashgrab
It’s more so that Japanese people make an effort to buy physical copies, merch, go to concerts all the time vs. the market being large. There was an interesting article that came out recently though about how their inflation problems are having people cut back on discretionary spending like music
@@migoreng7789 yep, asian fanbases tend to be very strong and loyal if the marketing strategies work out. Now that I listen to asian artists and understand how they market themselves or how promotion works I totally see why western artists release albums/songs to Japanese audiences
I remember 2014 when he came to Brazil on tour and the opening act was Fifth Harmony. The show was packed with 5H fans, I would say about 70% of the people in attendance (including me). When 5H's performance ended, basically everyone started leaving the venue, so security started locking the exit doors to keep people from leaving. It was crazy.
Also, the funny thing is when I was younger, Austin Mahone's name reminded me of Austin Moon's from Austin & Ally because both their singing and dance moves are very similar. Not only that, they have the same initials lol.
That actually got me into him, when I tell u i was a STAN 😭😭 but damn his fall off is one for the books, I did like that one project he made called “this is not the album” other than that, he pulled a Post Malone (country)
15 year old me was OBSESSED with that overstimulating ass song Banga Banga. It was on repeat fr.. …26 year old me realizes I was in denial about my ADHD at 15
the “next justin bieber” phenomenon 😭 justin was really one of one. (this made me go back and rewatch both with you covers. justin’s made me nostalgic and emotional and reaffirmed why he had the success he had. austin… i thought i remembered his voice being better than that.) reflecting on all the candidates for “next justin bieber” none of them had the it factor or the stage presence or voice that made him special. maybe it was or wasn’t intentional of his team, but when you put all the info here together like this, the relationships with becky g / camilla cabello, and relationship with pitbull, almost like they were trying to give austin a latina girlfriend and a famous mentor to replicate jelena and usher 😭
Austin Mahone - Why Don't We isn't being talked about enough. It's such a bop and i wish he made more songs in New Jack Swing! It definitely suits his vibe and choreography.
I love your entertainingly professional delivery on this, that I’d love to see a ‘What Happened to Jessie J?’ or ‘What Happened To Trevor Jackson?’ if that’s up your alley Thank you for serving once again!
@@aritergriffande4563 thank you so so much!! I appreciate you watching ❤️ i will foresure add them to my list! I used to a trevor jackson fan so that would be so interesting to research
I honestly haven’t watch any of your videos but if this is how your reviewing everything, it’s wondrous. It’s informative. It’s going with what has been said and done. It isn’t throwing shade (much). It’s overall well done. Nice to see Camryn.
Actually a really big Austin Mahone fan. Always enjoyed his music, I know he was compared to Bieber a lot , but I always saw him as his own artist. Glad he’s still out here doing his thing.
I was a HUGE Belieber when Austin came out, like alot of girls, but I couldn't get into him bc he gave knock off JB. HOWEVER, I was wondering what happened to him. Thank you Cam. 😭
Austin 100% was a Bieber Lite back in the 2010s. Genuinely shocked by what he's done in this decade. He 100% needed a bit of vocal training & better production choices
Great video, I remember being obsessed and reading Wattpad fanfics about him. Another artist suggestion would be Cymphonique Miller and Jasmine Villegas.
Tbh he’s another one who fell in this category! Off the heels of jb’s success. I just think the nuance is slightly different. I may have to do one on Cody bc now i’m curious
@@CamrynSuzanne Honestly I think going down the biber clones rabbit hole is unwise... but a Charlie Puth or Shawn Mendez one? Absolute necessity. They were BIG and now they barely chart at all
@@Soulcrash3 Shawn Mendes took a mental health break for two years and came back with a whole different genre of music and Charlie Puth started going downhill when people found out he was lying about dating Selena Gomez and was acting obsessed
It’s because the right is desperate for any pop culture ties to promote their ideologies. Anyone relevant enough avoids them tho, so they’re stuck with has beens who are looking for money and attention again
This video was so refreshing in the fact that there were no rose colored nostalgia lenses when you talked about his icky behaviors. So often I see people brush those things aside because it was "back then" or "they didn't know any better." Things like that always ticked me off but this video def earned a sub from me
Yes, I'd love to watch that! She released a new album earlier this year called "Venus". Her music is so good and she's really talented and a great performer, I saw her live in concert back in 2017. She honestly deserves way more fame and appreciation.
13:44 since watching old vh1 music docs (which is why I love this channel, such a missing piece of the music scene) I loved and have been so curious about the “big in Japan” phenomenon
Honestly this video opened up some forgotten memories bc I barely remember this dude bc as a kid I played his song ‘Til I found you’ in Just Dance 2015 and got a bit into his music for a little bit before I heard nothing about him until recently lol. This video honestly came at the right time cause I was abt to google what happened to him and your video popped up :) Great video btw!
I’m so glad this vid found you! I was hoping I wasn’t the only one who was curious because it’s quite interesting how musicians can have their moment and just completely fade into obscurity. Also thank you for watching!!
Honestly, I’ve never saw the hype with Shawn Mendes. I thought Austin Mahone and Cody Simpson should of gotten Artist development because they’ve potential
SOOOO GLAD YOU BROUGHT THIS UP! I was his biggest fan back then. He followed me on twitter in 2013, during the banga banga era, and I thought I was going to faint. They put up him on TOO high of a pedestal. Not only him but Cody Simpson!! Every label was trying to have their Justin Bieber and it just didn’t work out
Since we’re on the subject of Austin Mahone and you briefly brought up Pia Mia at the beginning, they actually have a song together that’s unreleased on streaming platforms but has a music video on RUclips called Fill Me In, which is a remix of Craig David’s Fill Me In. I still listen to their version of the song and it’s so fucking good
Back in 2014, I won a contest on Twitter to see Austin Mahone and Fifth Harmony perform live in concert, and I won meet and greet tickets for Austin as well, but my parents wouldn't let me go because I had school the next day. I was devastated about that for a long time. Now, here I am, 10 years later, and I have the power to attend any concert I please, hehe...but first I need to find a concert that I want to attend because the ones that I'm interested in aren't as constant as they used to be.
OMG, thank you for making a video on him! Just remembered I used to like him a lot when I was still in middle school! I bought his book and always listened to his songs on repeat (The Secret EP is actually good though, really love "Shadow". Sad it was underrated). I'd love to hear updates on R5/Team 10/The Wanted for the next vid❤
Tbh I always wondered if he was, but I do think some folks would be pissed if he was acting like he was if he wasn’t 😭 but he def had a bit of appeal in the latin market
He should've done it. Just like what Becky G did. When Becky G diverted into making Latin music, she became huge. And also, Becky G is a latina so it was a great move.
That’s a name I haven’t heard in years, holy shit. Thank you for this video! I love when I come across videos of things my brain completely forgot about.
First video of yours because you popped up as a recommended video.. the algorithm had my back today🙏 I’ve been wanting a new female commentary type creator to watch and i loved this!
He could never fully escape the comparison 😅 it really goes back to the conversation about modeling your career after someone else’s and comparing yourself too early. They welcomed it & piggy backed off of the momentum but that only works for so long if you sound is wishy washy, your image isn’t unique and you’re inconsistent
A lone star story was actually a really good album, i loved it. For those who dont want to listen toi the whole thing, Withdraw, Dirty Martini, and Wings are really good.
Hello! Please do Pia Mia! I remember seeing her doing a painting with basically her look from the “do it again” era with like the saying “never again” this was also when she dyed her hair back to brown and stopped using the contacts. I’ve seen some comments about how she refused to get deeper into the toxic part of the industry. I feel like she definitely has the talent / look to have been huge!
i remember him from time to time because i created a password related to him that i use to this day lol. great video to answer the questions that come up every time i log into instagram
How is it going guys? What do you personally think about Austin Mahone’s career?🎤
“What Happened To” is a new series I want to do! Please list below some forgotten artists that you would like a breakdown on their wearabouts🤔
Reminder: I will not be posting this Friday because I will be traveling!! But I will be up and at it at the top of the new year🙌🏽❤️
What about Tevin Campbell
"What Happened to...?" June's Diary, Jasmine V, Cymphonique, Kid Ink, Sage the Gemini, Trevor Jackson, Mila J, Honey C [if her name doesn't get you demonetized lol]
GREAT PICKS!! Cymphonique and Jasmine V were on repeat when i was w teen

Pia Mia, Justine Skye
important hard hitting journalism cause he won that MTV award out of nowhere and disappeared in 3-5 business days
also where did Natalie La Rose go?
This is a good one! Adding her to my list rn✍🏽
It’s crazy how so many of us completely forgot about him (even someone like me who was a fan). It was like our memories got collectively erased😳
😂🤣
She performed live at the BET awards, and ppl found out she couldn't actually sing. 🥴@@emokingston
If we're talking about Bieber clones I'd love a video on Cody Simpson. I remember seeing him EVERYWHERE for like 2 years being propped up as another Justin clone and then just falling off the face of the Earth suddenly
I saw Cody at the mall years ago.
he actually been doing competitive swimming for awhile.
He still makes music and now swims competitively as he used to as a child. He mentioned he had the chance to be bigger but didnt want to go through what they wanted him to do. Same for Emblem3, they refused to make strictly pop music so the label dropped them.
i think he did broadway
HES AN OLYMPIC SWIMMER NOW
Girl I RUSHED here after reading the title. I completely forgot how big this man was
Literally out of all the “jb clones” he was the closest at the time to making it but unfortunately it just went down hill after a certain point😔
I actually met him on Instagram live!! He added me to his live & I got to talk to him (I have proof too) he was so nice to me & I wax fangirling so hard.
I never realized the names Austin and Justin are just one letter off…
Me either 😂
@@HeyNikkiMoon I’ll try to keep this short,
When I was a kid I watched both Pokemon and digimon.. but I remember my mom telling my brother and I we had to choose one “mon” we choose Pokemon.
Maybe it was the same thing with the record company, ya gotta choose an ustin. Can’t be dealing with both (for whatever reason) 🤣
🤯
THAT... wow aahahahah
Yep explains Austin & ally
The fact he beat out Ed Sheeran and the Weeknd for that Artist to Watch VMA baffles me
Yeah, right?!?
As usual... they probably gave him the award just for his looks. While the other 2 are more talented & deserving of that award.
@@Seroxm13It's cause Austin had a big fan base at the time. Lots of potential.
It actually make sense. During this time he definitely had more loyal fans compare to the two.
the way i forgot about him but remembered he was one of my first white boy crushes 💀
Literally same😂
😂
I thought he was Latino as in the lighter shade of Latinos like Argentina. I know that most people tend to stereotype Latinos as being the medium shade.
@hopefulfortomorrow1039Americans are interesting.
In the UK he would be deemed white. Ethnicity and race don’t correlate
@@averyintelligence Austin is white with Anglo ancestry
Austin Mahone never had a real it factor outside of being cute. Their best bet would've been to try to differentiate him from Justin from the beginning. Introduce him using country or rock from the outset. He might've had a better chance at cutting through.

A lot of the people they force on us don’t have the It factor to me. It be the underground people.
Please do a video on tori kelly and how she isn't as big as she should be because it still baffles me how someone is so amazingly talented, owns a Grammy, is still not as big her peers
i mean. is there really a story there? lol not everyone who won one big award will guarantee a life of fame and success. i think it depends on their star quality. some pople just have it to last longer tbh. tori isn't scandalous. she's good but she hasn't left such a strong mark in the cultural zeitgeist.

I love tori kelly
what happened to MKTO or Nico & Vinz would be cool to find out :)
or even Cher Lloyd

@@CamrynSuzanneme too!!! 🙌😩
N&V released a new song too
Agree with MKTO
@@bobbybadd thank you so much I have been looking for mkto but couldn’t remember their name.
it's so funny realizing that austin was marketed as all american wholesome teen pop star and it mainly worked for justin who isn't even american
Lmao .. you know what? You really put this into perspective for me 🤣
Crypto, R. Kelly collab, confederate flag in MV, thinks teens on OF is chill. Dude pick a struggle😭
Exactly 😭😂 he has way too many
Yikes for him
Glad he failed!
Like I always say, go bigot (or anti-woke), go broke.
And also, Mmm yeah is basically a harassment anthem😬😭
@@zoomzoom103 which MV was that?
Girl…you unlocked memories for me
Glad to have been able to! It was a wild ride for me researching all of this bc my inner preteen was reminded of so much 😂 took me all the way back
His song "What About Love" used to be my jam!
Same😂 i was also a dance teacher and a couple years back, I used that song for a baby hip hop class.

the fact that i used to have a little crush on this man when i was 12.... i had no idea he made country music until today LOL 😭

My bf & I randomly seen him at a Miami swim week party 4 years ago. If my friend didn’t point it out, I wouldn’t have known
Lmao you would’ve walked past him like a stranger in the street lmao
he lives in hollywood florida!
Ohhh I definitely would like a what happened to pia mia 😮
I will keep that in mind! Definitely think that would be an interesting one
She releases new songs too
check out her new album. its amazing
Pretty sure she was caught sleeping with tyga, Kylie got jealous, and then ditched her/had his people and industry friends move on from her too
she had a book that recently came out and she’s active on tiktok
I saw the title and it was like a pathway of regressed memories just came flooding-
😁
just listened to ‘banga banga’ for the first time and dear lord….
Right😭 it’s a nightmare
That actually got me into him, when I tell u i was a STAN 😭😭 but damn his fall off is one for the books, I did like that one project he made called “this is not the album” other than that, he pulled a Post Malone (country)
@@empathyhoneyteatoo bruh I don’t remember it sounding like this?! I can’t stop laughing wtf was I listening to?!?
i used to love it 😭
That was my favorite song by him 😂
The labels flopped. They should've asked him what kind of music he wanted to make.
15 year old me was OBSESSED with that overstimulating ass song Banga Banga. It was on repeat fr..
…26 year old me realizes I was in denial about my ADHD at 15
Girl i feel you😭 that song was SO overstimulating that’s the perfect word
😂
the “next justin bieber” phenomenon 😭 justin was really one of one. (this made me go back and rewatch both with you covers. justin’s made me nostalgic and emotional and reaffirmed why he had the success he had. austin… i thought i remembered his voice being better than that.) reflecting on all the candidates for “next justin bieber” none of them had the it factor or the stage presence or voice that made him special.
maybe it was or wasn’t intentional of his team, but when you put all the info here together like this, the relationships with becky g / camilla cabello, and relationship with pitbull, almost like they were trying to give austin a latina girlfriend and a famous mentor to replicate jelena and usher 😭
that being said, his unofficial songs (places, say my name, waiting for this love) very valid, no notes, no complaints
I loved Austin when I was younger, I’m glad he’s still out here doing gigs. I hope he’s creating music he likes and not just the label pushing it.
Austin Mahone - Why Don't We isn't being talked about enough. It's such a bop and i wish he made more songs in New Jack Swing! It definitely suits his vibe and choreography.
I agree, I think out of all his sounds, the new jack swing , 90s sound fit him best . They should’ve kept that sound
I love your entertainingly professional delivery on this, that I’d love to see a ‘What Happened to Jessie J?’ or ‘What Happened To Trevor Jackson?’ if that’s up your alley

Austin mahone was just singing Christmas carols on the river walk last week. I didn’t even recognize him
No wayy!
@@CamrynSuzanne yeah he’s from my city and some fans noticed him. He looked happy tho
@@ShanwanaPuppy which riverwalk? In Tampa
that’s so cute😩❤️🩹
Actually a really big Austin Mahone fan. Always enjoyed his music, I know he was compared to Bieber a lot , but I always saw him as his own artist. Glad he’s still out here doing his thing.
I love the series idea! Keep these coming please
You got it! Please let me know if you have ideas on who you want to see me discuss
Yes! I'm here for this series! You should do Cody Simpson AKA Australian JB lol
Absolutely! That is on the docket!!
I was a HUGE Belieber when Austin came out, like alot of girls, but I couldn't get into him bc he gave knock off JB. HOWEVER, I was wondering what happened to him. Thank you Cam. 😭
I liked Jb but didn’t have a crush on him so Austin filled that void for me😭 but jb always made better music. Thank you for watching!!
I get jumpscared from that ad he did for the HEB stores in Texas, it played all the time during back to school season
Austin 100% was a Bieber Lite back in the 2010s. Genuinely shocked by what he's done in this decade. He 100% needed a bit of vocal training & better production choices
Side note: I had only heard Mmm, Yeah and What About Love prior to this video. He's just more of a single artist
Great video, I remember being obsessed and reading Wattpad fanfics about him. Another artist suggestion would be Cymphonique Miller and Jasmine Villegas.
Ahh the Wattpad era was something 😭 and yes! I added them to the docket! I’ve had a few people ask about them
Jasmine had a baby when she was like 17 and then disappeared. Very anticlimactic unfortunately
@@Sugarspiceandeverything omg! Him Justin and 1D omg those were crazy! 😭
Could you do a video like this on Cher Lloyd! She was on uk X factor and had a few hits in the early 2010s and now I haven’t heard anything from her
Yes! A couple people have requested so I may do this oneee next🙌🏽
his song “say you’re just a friend” ft pit bull used to be my jam
@@Babygirl758 I think that one is with flo Rida not pit bull haha
The one with put bull is Mm yea
"What happened to... Jojo".
You'd be surprised how much that woman has gone through with Blackground records owning her voice !
This reminds me of Corey Simpson. I heard one song and poof gone from the face of the earth
(I just saw you included a clip of that poor child lol)
Tbh he’s another one who fell in this category! Off the heels of jb’s success. I just think the nuance is slightly different. I may have to do one on Cody bc now i’m curious
@@CamrynSuzanne Honestly I think going down the biber clones rabbit hole is unwise... but a Charlie Puth or Shawn Mendez one? Absolute necessity. They were BIG and now they barely chart at all
Corey? Baby you mean Cody 💀
Last i heard i think he’s professional swimmer? Like he was training for the olympics or something
@@Soulcrash3 Shawn Mendes took a mental health break for two years and came back with a whole different genre of music and Charlie Puth started going downhill when people found out he was lying about dating Selena Gomez and was acting obsessed
The right-wing grift is so lucrative for has-beens. It's crazy.
It’s so sad and ridiculous at this point
instead of focusing on making ameruikkka great again they should focus on making their careers great again
Go bigot, go broke! That never fails and I love it 😎
It’s because the right is desperate for any pop culture ties to promote their ideologies. Anyone relevant enough avoids them tho, so they’re stuck with has beens who are looking for money and attention again
Omg YESSS I WAS LIKE NEXT PIAMIA!!! but u said it urself after lol. BUT YESSSS
This video was so refreshing in the fact that there were no rose colored nostalgia lenses when you talked about his icky behaviors. So often I see people brush those things aside because it was "back then" or "they didn't know any better." Things like that always ticked me off but this video def earned a sub from me
Do a video on Zara Laarson next and how she hasnt had a big hit in the US since Never Forget You! I dont understand how shes not as big as Sabrina's
Adding her to my list!!
Yes, I'd love to watch that! She released a new album earlier this year called "Venus". Her music is so good and she's really talented and a great performer, I saw her live in concert back in 2017. She honestly deserves way more fame and appreciation.
This video is so well done. I had no idea he got big in Japan before and recently went country?? Wild. Thanks for keeping me in the loop, girl.
We’re gonna need one on Mindless Behavior soon
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
13:44 since watching old vh1 music docs (which is why I love this channel, such a missing piece of the music scene) I loved and have been so curious about the “big in Japan” phenomenon
Honestly this video opened up some forgotten memories bc I barely remember this dude bc as a kid I played his song ‘Til I found you’ in Just Dance 2015 and got a bit into his music for a little bit before I heard nothing about him until recently lol. This video honestly came at the right time cause I was abt to google what happened to him and your video popped up :) Great video btw!
I’m so glad this vid found you! I was hoping I wasn’t the only one who was curious because it’s quite interesting how musicians can have their moment and just completely fade into obscurity. Also thank you for watching!!
Of we’re doing this what about Greyson Chance?? I’m a fan but he’s still making music without a label
I remember some girl from my school who was picked to be on stage with him, it was like her sitting in a chair and getting serenaded
No wayy! Little cam would’ve been so jealous
@@CamrynSuzanne😂
Honestly, I’ve never saw the hype with Shawn Mendes. I thought Austin Mahone and Cody Simpson should of gotten Artist development because they’ve potential
Ughhh the middle school heart throb-my first concert!! We all had matching Mahomie shirts. His song 11/11 was my 8th grade jam
💕
SOOOO GLAD YOU BROUGHT THIS UP! I was his biggest fan back then. He followed me on twitter in 2013, during the banga banga era, and I thought I was going to faint. They put up him on TOO high of a pedestal. Not only him but Cody Simpson!! Every label was trying to have their Justin Bieber and it just didn’t work out
Since we’re on the subject of Austin Mahone and you briefly brought up Pia Mia at the beginning, they actually have a song together that’s unreleased on streaming platforms but has a music video on RUclips called Fill Me In, which is a remix of Craig David’s Fill Me In. I still listen to their version of the song and it’s so fucking good
Same!! It’s a really great cover
Yes! I used to listen to their cover all the timeee🤩
Loved Craig David!
@@positivitywins5687 "loved"
lol bros still alive, he doing uk tour in a few months
I remember thattt
Girl he just came in to my mind yesterday very randomly when i was brushing my teeth
That’s interesting 😀
this was so intriguing ! Can’t wait for more of these girl❤ pia mia would be a good one too!!
Back in 2014, I won a contest on Twitter to see Austin Mahone and Fifth Harmony perform live in concert, and I won meet and greet tickets for Austin as well, but my parents wouldn't let me go because I had school the next day. I was devastated about that for a long time. Now, here I am, 10 years later, and I have the power to attend any concert I please, hehe...but first I need to find a concert that I want to attend because the ones that I'm interested in aren't as constant as they used to be.
I'm so here for a "What Happened to.." Series ❤
Sza and Camryn in one day?!?! The lord is good! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Its a good day!! Gotta listen to that sza album. I’m about to lock in🤞🏾
OMG, thank you for making a video on him! Just remembered I used to like him a lot when I was still in middle school! I bought his book and always listened to his songs on repeat (The Secret EP is actually good though, really love "Shadow". Sad it was underrated).
I'd love to hear updates on R5/Team 10/The Wanted for the next vid❤
Cam’s back with another video 🔥
Yes I am! Hope you enjoy today’s video
@ bet
I clicked on this video so fast… I was literally thinking about his song “U” the other day
He looks half latina. He should have capitalized on that like selena and demi. He could have been the first male Latino pop star with white appeal
Tbh I always wondered if he was, but I do think some folks would be pissed if he was acting like he was if he wasn’t 😭 but he def had a bit of appeal in the latin market
He doesn't look half Latino at all. But we are very welcoming to artists so he could have found a niche in our market.
He should've done it. Just like what Becky G did. When Becky G diverted into making Latin music, she became huge. And also, Becky G is a latina so it was a great move.
Saw Austin in a really well done H-E-B TV ad in 2017, and looked him up. Thanks for the update! 👍🏻
i was OBSESSED with austin whenever i was a kid. i grew up and completely forgot about him, girl i clicked this video so fast!!!
Omg !! I met him on Instagram live & he was so nice to me !!
I forgot about him to the point I considered Shawn Mendes as the second bieber dude is the third
Omg😭 I don’t blame you though
That’s a name I haven’t heard in years, holy shit. Thank you for this video! I love when I come across videos of things my brain completely forgot about.
Can you talk about How Jasmine Villeges disappeared 😭😭😭😭
Omg yes! Someone else requested and I used to loveee Jasmine V
@@lilxris.. me too
First video of yours because you popped up as a recommended video.. the algorithm had my back today🙏 I’ve been wanting a new female commentary type creator to watch and i loved this!
I'm so happy you found me!
Not banga banga being my fav song of his lmaoo
Saw this video in my recommended, and decided to subscribe. Keep up the great work
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
OMG?? Austin Mahone, Cody Simpson AND Greyson Chance were my top 3 faves 😭
@@stinkiebearr GREYSON SOUNDS AWESOME LEMME RE ADD HIM TO MY PLAYLISTS
Greyson is booked, busy out and proud (finally). I actually find him the coolest now and he sounds much better with a deeper voice.
THE PRIMA J SHOUTOUT GOT AN INSTANT SUB FROM ME MY QUEENSSSSS
This is first time watching Camryn Suzanne 12/21/24
Love to hear it! Welcome🙏🏾
Finally, someone asking the real questions!
More of these please 🙏🏿.
Will do! Had so much researching and making this one. Do you have any suggestions of people you want to see me cover?
i literally audibly gasped and said “austin mahoneeeeee” when i read the title bc WHERE IS HE
I didn’t grow up listening to Austin and was captivated and so invested by this lol. Great work! How about covering Rita Ora in a future episode?
Thanks!
Omg, yes!
@@justjoannak RIGHT?!
Hi! I am excited for this new series, I was always wondering what happened to Asia Crusie or Paula DeAnda
I put paula on my list so definitely plan on getting to her!
Austin was definitely a baby Bieber. lol😂
He could never fully escape the comparison 😅 it really goes back to the conversation about modeling your career after someone else’s and comparing yourself too early. They welcomed it & piggy backed off of the momentum but that only works for so long if you sound is wishy washy, your image isn’t unique and you’re inconsistent
i literally gasped reading the title i forgot about him omg🙁🙁😭😭.. but that was my man tho ngl his eyes were speaking to me LMFOAOAOW love the vid btw!
A lone star story was actually a really good album, i loved it. For those who dont want to listen toi the whole thing, Withdraw, Dirty Martini, and Wings are really good.
@j_m12341 omg I'm listening to withdraw on repeat right now and it's so good!
The way that „mh mh yeah yeah, mhmhm yeah yeah“ didn’t leave my brain ONCE this entire video 😂
Hello! Please do Pia Mia! I remember seeing her doing a painting with basically her look from the “do it again” era with like the saying “never again” this was also when she dyed her hair back to brown and stopped using the contacts. I’ve seen some comments about how she refused to get deeper into the toxic part of the industry. I feel like she definitely has the talent / look to have been huge!
Yes! Pia Mia is a great suggestion! I actually didn’t know some of this. I literally working on the script as we speak
i remember him from time to time because i created a password related to him that i use to this day lol. great video to answer the questions that come up every time i log into instagram
Pia Mia just put out her first album and it’s fire!!
Oh no way!! I def need to check it out and do a video on her. Used to really like her music and covers. And omg FIRST album??
I now have to hear the old singles just so my grown ears can hear wtf my teenage self was listening to
😂
