The managers of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber say they now focus their energies on YouTube and believe MySpace is finished as a vehicle to promote music. Lady Gaga manager Troy Carter says he will now specifically "create संगीत वीडियो for YouTube". Carter's statement breaks from tradition because संगीत वीडियो have historically targeted एमटीवी and foreign markets.
Justin Bieber manager Scooter Braun told the audience at the TechCrunch conference that Bieber's career is typical of the way YouTube is shaping music. Bieber was discovered on YouTube and the strategy to promote him centred around creating और online content. Bieber's वीडियो hit 55m देखा गया before he was signed द्वारा Universal Music. Braun says the process took so long because record companies thought that "without a TV show, आप can't break a teenage star". Carter points out that Lady Gaga began her career via MySpace four years ago, but Braun quickly added that "nobody does MySpace anymore". Both managers agree Twitter is a vital promotional tool because it helps break down barriers between the artists and fans.
