In the internet arena, sex sells and sex attracts the masses, but YouTube is going to change their image and reputation.

There’s a more appealing “Tube” for men than the one we all know called YouTube.com. I will not keep you guessing on this one, but it’s called YouPorn.

YouTube is offering up “YouTube Symphony Orchestra” Billed as the world’s first collaborative online orchestra, the program promises to “change the way musicians connect over the Internet.”

According to PCWorld.com: YouTube is inviting musicians from across the globe to send in demo tapes of themselves performing two songs — “The Internet Symphony,” a composition written by Chinese composer Tan Dun for the competition, and a second piece of their own choosing. The winning performers will work with Dun and San Francisco Symphony conductor Michael Tilson Thomas to prepare for a performance at Carnegie Hall — which, of course, will be broadcast worldwide on YouTube. Pianist Lang Lang and members of the London Symphony Orchestra will help lead the rehearsals.

Entries are being accepted from now through January 28, 2009. Professional classical musicians from all over the world will help select semifinalists from their own regions. Then, an online vote will determine the final Symphony Orchestra members.

The winners will spend three days at a YouTube-sponsored classical music summit in New York, which will end with the Carnegie Hall performance.

Tube away my video friends and enjoy the next upcoming musician virtuosos!
