His work consists mainly of short-form self-directed "monologues about life" shot in his grandparents' home. As of March 2008, Crocker's videos have received a combined 45.8 million plays on MySpace, and his vlog channel on YouTube is the 18th most viewed of all time in all categories, with over 153 million views. Although he has produced dozens of videos, Crocker gained international fame from his viral video tearfully defending Britney Spears's "lackluster MTV comeback" with over four million views in two days. The video received international media attention, hundreds of parodies, criticism and generated death threats for the androgynous performer.
Crocker's detractors and critics have accused him of narcissism, melodramatics, histrionics, and using Spears' personal shortcomings to bolster his own fame. Others have accused Crocker of acting in the "Leave Britney Alone" video, although he insisted it was a genuine on a September 2007 appearance on Maury Povich's Maury show.
In September 2007 Variety magazine revealed Crocker had signed a development deal with 44 Blue Productions to star in a documentary-style reality television show.
On September 19, 2008 Crocker released his first single "Mind In the Gutter" from his debut album Turned On set for release in January 2009. It has yet to be confirmed if he is signed to a label or not.

Just letting you all know that Chris Crocker does not run this channel. I reuploaded his videos from October 2015 to April 2017. I stopped after he asked me too.

Good on you for respecting his wishes. But, also good on you for keeping this meme around. It’s literally Youtube history. Whether he wants it here or not is honestly irrevelant, because it’s irreversible. You put something on the internet, it fucking stays there. Especially something like this.

Her family are pretty awful too. You don't need a person to decide everything for you if you can work still like she does ..
And make money for the rest of her family

Fr, although society is still fucked up, I think we are now less likely to bully a celebrity or at least the press to get away with gossiping over celebrities into breakdowns and mental issues like they did with britney
@ooflalabish4572
@Leonora Zeneli yea the internet and the media used to be a lot more fucked and lacked empathy back than, but thankfully we have changed and have a better understanding of peoples mental health.
