00:00From the screen, to the ring, to the pen, to the king.
00:03Where's my crown? That's my bling. Always call me when I ring.
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most popular YouTube creators who shocked the world with their singing chops.
00:15You might remember why you used to love me, love me.
00:21Number 10. The Paul Brothers.
00:24Logan and Jake Paul are best known for their wrestling and boxing careers,
00:28especially after the younger one fought Mike Tyson.
00:32However, a few years back, they were a menace on YouTube.
00:36From striking up controversy in a foreign country to beefing between each other,
00:40they were never not trending.
00:42What was most surprising amid all the drama was the discography that came out of it.
00:46I cannot be outdone. Jake Paul is number one. It's every day, bro. It's every day, bro.
00:52For Jake, it started when he dissed his ex, Alyssa Violet, in It's Every Day, Bro in 2017.
00:59And Logan has been releasing tracks since 2016, but drew attention when he dissed Jake back.
01:05They later made up, also through song.
01:08While Jake goes for more rap-heavy material, Logan's got some vocals.
01:12Yes, even without the auto-tune.
01:14Girl, what you trying to do? Cause I don't got a clue. No, I ain't no Scooby-Doo.
01:19Let me help you.
01:21Number nine, Kayla Nicole.
01:23Also known as NicoleTV, this internet sensation made a name for herself as a meme queen.
01:28Today we're doing a ponytail tutorial.
01:30You'll need a brush. Work home. But this brush. Brush it and it should look like this.
01:36Her breakout ponytail tutorial continues to make rounds on the internet to this day.
01:40She built a solid YouTube career out of her comedic skills,
01:43but no one expected her to also be a talented singer and rapper.
01:47The plan, I say plan B. You can't take me out the streets.
01:50I'm that money on my meat. Ain't no bun, you just my link.
01:53Kayla has consistently released music in recent years,
01:56including emotional bops like I Hate It Here and viral baddie anthems like Bundles.
02:02Her voice has earned her much praise, and so have her honest lyrics.
02:06I don't want no love here. Losing you's my worst fear.
02:11This feels like a nightmare. Wake up till you're not there.
02:15Today, she is also a mother and an entrepreneur.
02:19Number 8. Tana Mongeau
02:21This award-winning YouTuber had a chokehold on her viewers with her gripping storytime videos.
02:26Although she has had her fair share of scandals,
02:29she somehow has managed to maintain relevance through it all.
02:39Like most of her contemporary creators, she too tried her luck at singing,
02:43and we have to give credit where it's due. It is an impressive effort.
02:47I don't wanna fall asleep on FaceTime. It's like you're gone every time my phone dies.
02:54Her signature husky voice works in her favor,
02:57even more so when she pushed the enfant terrible concept.
03:01What really put her on the map, though, was her music video for Hefner,
03:04starring actress Bella Thorne, whom she was dating at the time.
03:08I'm sorry I'm rich and you're not.
03:12Tenet, tenet, tenet, tenet, tenet.
03:14Number 7. Meryl Twins
03:17Veronica and Vanessa Meryl started out on YouTube with music.
03:21They uploaded school performances and cover videos that gained them some attention.
03:25When will my reflection show who I am inside?
03:35However, those videos got buried under their more popular content,
03:39such as challenge videos, sketches, and vlogs.
03:42When their channel kicked off,
03:44they left music behind and did not pursue it as a serious career route.
03:48Perhaps that's why it's not common knowledge that the twins are gifted vocalists.
03:52Hey, Santa, can you hear?
03:57This is what I want for Christmas and all year.
04:02They only ever sang as a special treat for fans.
04:05That changed when Vanessa married Jon Vaughn,
04:08a musician, and the two joined forces to create Butterfly Tiger.
04:13Falling in love with you is not what I thought I'd do.
04:20The duo has since released some deeply romantic songs together.
04:25Number 6. MatPat
04:27Fans would recognize his voice even in their sleep.
04:38The guy who brought us the legendary Game Theory
04:40is one of the most influential and successful creators in the YouTube biz.
04:45While he didn't venture into music in earnest,
04:47his audience knows he's a fantastic singer.
04:50The first time most viewers found out about his musical prowess
04:53was with his 2020 track, Who You Gonna Call?,
04:56about Fred Bear from Five Nights at Freddy's 4.
05:09However, true OGs know that some of his earliest videos
05:12were clips from musicals he performed in or auditioned for.
05:16Now that he has retired from Game Theory,
05:18perhaps he will revisit that aspiration.
05:21But hey, that's just a theory.
05:23A Ms. Mojo theory.
05:33Number 5. Thomas Sanders
05:36For the Vine generation, he was a megastar.
05:39Thomas Sanders was the genius behind the short-form series
05:42Narrating People's Lives, also known as Storytime,
05:46that brought him great renown on the platform.
05:53However, many may not know that he has since branched out
05:56into a fully-fledged music career.
05:58Growing up in the musical theater scene,
06:00he was always a brilliant singer.
06:12So when he had the right platform,
06:13he used it to go back to his artistic roots.
06:16He wrote his own musical, Ultimate Storytime,
06:19based on the aforementioned Vine series, and even released albums.
06:31His work definitely deserves more attention.
06:34Number 4. Lele Pons
06:36As you can tell, it isn't uncommon for YouTubers to dabble in music.
06:40However, it is rare for them to reach the levels of success Lele Pons has.
06:46Her star rose on Vine, but when the platform shut down,
06:57she made a smooth shift to YouTube.
06:59Her massive fandom followed suit and grew manifold.
07:02Realizing she had the chance to go big, she went for gold.
07:06Singing in both Spanish and English, and quite impressively at that,
07:10she rose to pop icon status.
07:16Why wouldn't she?
07:21When she had both the star power and the talent to back it up.
07:24Moreover, her collaborations with husband, Guena,
07:28like the song, Se Te Nota, amassed hundreds of millions of views,
07:32giving her an even bigger boost.
07:34Number 3. James Charles
07:46This beauty guru's music journey has been one of evolution.
07:50Sure, he was once trolled for his singing,
07:52but rather than letting the criticism bring him down, he used it to improve himself.
08:04He took vocal lessons, some of which he documented for his YouTube channel,
08:10and shared his transformation with fans.
08:13This wasn't easy, as he opened up about feeling insecure about his singing voice.
08:27Nevertheless, if his current singing form is anything to go by,
08:31there's no doubt he has come a long way.
08:33And even his harshest critics will probably agree.
08:36In 2024, he released his own music and even penned the lyrics.
08:48Although he has been called to account for some questionable personal conduct,
08:52his singing is objectively spot on.
08:55Number 2. Trisha Paytas
08:57Love her or hate her, you just can't ignore her.
09:00Trisha Paytas has been in the YouTube game for what feels like decades,
09:04and her influence is showing no signs of abating.
09:18In fact, she keeps reaching new milestones in her career,
09:22and even made it to Saturday Night Live.
09:24She did all this despite being cancelled any number of times for being thought problematic
09:29and making comments many found offensive.
09:32However, behind the divisive facade, she actually has a serious knack for singing.
09:47Just turn a blind eye to her digital footprint, and you might be pleasantly surprised.
10:00Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
10:07Danny Gonzalez.
10:08His song became a trending TikTok sound.
10:23Drewski.
10:24He was in the musical comedy film, Praise This.
10:30And, of course, the legendary Christian Bale.

11:10that it probably isn't surprising that music is one of them.

11:26KSI has successfully launched a music career that rakes in massive profits.
