On March 12, 2013, the YouTube channel Paint (currently with 4 million subscribers) uploaded a video called “After Ever After”. It is an amazingly creative musical way telling us about the reality of what the Disney princesses’ “happily” ever afters were really about.
Jon Cozart, is the multi-talented young man behind this genius video. He uploaded his first video in 2010 but his fame started to rise when he uploaded a video called “Harry Potter in 99 Seconds” which went viral. After this he auditioned for Glee in 2012 but didn’t make it, although he did get very far into it. In 2013, he uploaded the said video above and it became even bigger than “Harry Potter in 99 Seconds”.
You can watch the video here:
I’ll be truthful to you when I say, that I know the lyrics of this better than the original version. Whenever these original Disney songs play, I can’t help but sing along however with Jon Cozart’s lyrics.
A year after he uploaded part 2 of this:
I personally think this song and the whole idea of it is very creative, even though it does strike us with a new look of these fairytales. Majority of Jon Cozart’s videos tend to be very honest in a funny way. Some people say he took it too far and made real-life issues into something comical. But I still say it’s genius!
The Fine Brothers Entertainment also featured his two videos on their channel, where teens react to part 1 and part 2 of the video.
It usually takes him a few months to upload to his main channel Paint, but it’s definitely worth the wait so you can go on and subscribe here. He also has a second channel called paintchips where he posts his vlogs and the like. Also go ahead and follow him on Twitter and Instagram, add him on Snapchat, and look at some of his merchandise.
Don’t forget to leave a comment and let me know what you think of his music style.
