I knew something in the video looked familar. Doesn't Holly blog from a room with that same color walls?

It's early, maybe I'm just not thinking straight.

Lighting: Check.
Clear skin/makeup: Check.
Creator-like hard cuts: Check.
No seeking for words, other stalling: Check.
Setting up personal interests to create connection with viewers and give the character depth: Check.
Setting up obstacle to get story arc running: Check.

Bree-style bedroom: Check.
Bree's quick movements towards the camera: Check.
Religion: Check.
Changing outfit (hairstyle) to get viewers of each preference: Check.
Saying she hates things a lot so viewers can connect to her better: Check.
Bree's whispering towards the camera: Check.
Conflict with parents: Check.
Suggesting that she feels down and insecure to make sure people comment: Check.
A friend whose actions the parents wouldn't like: Check.
Suggesting she was lonely before said friend came along: Check.

...yes. Well. What was that saying about if you steal an idea, don't make it too obvious?
That's either another studio trying to jump on the bandwagon, or the Creators need Glenn even more than we thought.

ETA: Possible movie reference: Check. (Bend it like Beckham)

ETA2: soccerstar.com, .net, .org all have no suspicious data and have been registered for years, but:
Soccerstar.com looks more like a a collection of search-ads than a serious site; it was created in september 2000, and expires in september 2008, suggesting it ways paid annually as usual - but the whois data states:
Updated Date: 03-mar-2007.
Proof? No. Quite suspicious? Hell yes.

could we try to be a little less like lg... I understand your aiming for something similar, but holy... its the same thing but with a soccer chick (the only difference really)... I wish you well in the future, but im not so sure about this one....

If this turns out to be canon, it could be aimed at appealing to a wider fan-base in terms of age ... Bree has grown up a lot and this girl appears much younger, whereas Alex obviously is quite a bit older than Bree.

It would make sense from a marketing point of view for Lonelygirl15 Creators to want to provide a character that the large online teen audience could relate to.

But it's a little hard to imagine the story progressing anything like a normal pace when 1000's of fans start warning this new girl about the Order and all of Bree's experiences.

New character?

Please please please don't tell me Alex says "they found another girl"....

and another girl just shows up!

Why do I get the feeling every girl in the world is going to show up with a vid now?

I AM Sparticus!

Sam? Where have I heard that name before?

Not to mention this is virtually the same way Jonas was introduced.

Asking me to believe one random character has an Order connection is hard enough, but two?

Let's not be so hasty. Maybe Taylor isn't "the other girl" maybe it's her friend.
