I'm sure there are plenty of people who already know about Merton, the piano guy who has a couple of videos on YouTube where he'd sung to people on Chat Roulette. There's also another guy who plays guitar and does something similar to Merton. Not surprisingly, people compare them to one another, and this other guy is getting comments from Merton fans telling him he sucks, isn't funny, and is just copying Merton. Personally, I like both Merton, and this guitarist. They're both hilariously funny to me.
I've had a few friends telling me I should do improv myself on Chat Roulette when I'm better at playing the guitar, which is something I would definitely take an attempt at because it seems like a lot of fun. Obviously, if I ever record it and put it on YouTube, there are going to be a ton of people who are going to say I'm copying Merton, or copying this other guy, or maybe copying both. Maybe it is slightly, but why are people so shallow-minded about things like this that other people started? Hell, anyone who can play an instrument can do what these two are doing. You'd be told you're copying though because you weren't the first to do it.
Technically, wouldn't everyone on Earth be copying something if they weren't the first ever person to do it? You could write really silly parodies, and you're most likely going to be compared with someone else, like maybe Weird Al. I doubt Weird Al is one of the first ever people to write parodies, but he's definitely one of the best known parody writers.
I wish for once people would watch a person for what they are, and not compare them to someone doing a similar things. If you've got to be one of those people, then here's a simple solution. Quit bitching about how they're copying someone if you don't like them, and just don't watch their stuff. Simple!
Well, I'm just going to link the videos by Merton and the other guy here because I enjoy them a lot. Hopefully narrow-minded people aren't going to watch Merton, then go to the other guy and whine about how he's copying.
