Xia Xue vs Community Channel

Q: When you put Xia Xue and Community Channel together in a room, who will come out alive?

Xia Xue - you either hate her, or love her but you have to have heard of her as a blogger. She is famous for writing sarcastic, witty and usually very vain topics. She has won several awards, including the "Regions's Best Blog" and the "Most Influential Blog". She even has her own Wikipedia entry.

She has got to be the most 'entertaining' and bitchiest person I have ever met in my life. I remembered once, she wrote an entire paragraph about how she travelled to Malaysia for some good food and ate the oiliest 'kangkung' (Water spinach) She bitched and moaned about it so much that my friend and I nicknamed her the 'oily kangkung queen'. (Also because once, she posted a picture of her and her face was so oily, you could fry an egg with that amount of oil.) And of course, here I am writing an entire paragraph about her writing an entire paragraph about oily kangkung.

As many fans that she has, she definitely has a lot of haters. And do I blame them? No. Admittedly she does have a knack for making a very dull topic interesting but she sure makes me want to bitch slap her across the face. She is very talented at making people hate her, or have a bad impression on her. If you look her up in Wikipedia, you can tell that she has had a few issues where she was accused of being 'rude', 'racist' and even had a lawsuit.

I'm sorry but Xia Xue just reminds me of an Asian version of a dumb blonde who has too much free time and a love of photoshoping herself to look prettier. (Not that photoshoping yourself to look better is bad, but there is a fine line between looking better and being obsessive.)

You may also have heard of Natalie Tran. She is a famous Australian Vlogger who uses the nickname communitychannel. Her videos include observational and self-deprecating humour, as well as stream-of-consciousness commentary on social dilemmas. She plays most roles, combining multiple takes using split-screen compositing. Now, she is a video blogger that most people can relate to.

Nat was nominated for "Best YouTube Channel or Personality" and "Funniest YouTube Channel" by Mashable in their 2009 Open Web Awards. And of course, it is not surprising that her channel was the most subscribed channel of all-time in Australia and the 22nd most subscribed channel of all-time on Youtube. And that lucky girl was placed at number 10 on their list of top ten earners from Youtube advertising and had over 138,871,829 views. And what's even more lucky is that she is sponsored a global odyssey sponsored by Lonely Planet.

I love Nat for her honesty and that she isn't a back-stabbing vain bitch. But oh I hate her so much for getting a sponsored trip around the world. *sigh*


A: Xia Xue will lose within 5 seconds. Community Channel will emerge from the room in a Superwoman's suit and a kiss on her biceps.
