LonelyGirl15 on Youtube

I've just been watching a clip of Lonelygirl15, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06_mNdOrxkc and if you look and listen closely to this clip, you can not only tell that she is wearing make up (why would you wear make up in your room?!) but you can also tell that the music has actually been added afterwards.

Did nobody compare webcams? To my limited knowledge the AV quality of a webcam is not as good as that which has been used in this clip, and if she was supposed to be from the states then why did she have a kiwi accent? Surely people would have started putting two and two together (obviously considering she was exposed as an actress from Auckland).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQMnaTiAKRA which is shot at Thanksgiving supposedly. Looking at the camera angles etc it is fairly obvious that it is a professional shoot rather than just a girl at home in her bedroom. Also why would someone film their lives and then post it on Youtube unless it was fake?

There is this other clip here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65k7cjUj6zc&mode=user&search= which is shot outside. Now this was posted in July as you will see so I think that the soap opera theory can be applied her. People know its phoney and yet they are still watching, and that makes it a drama and I found evidence of this on wikipedia just now, "The series, which began June 16, 2006, is still running, with new videos appearing regularly on YouTube, Revver, metacafe, LiveVideo, Veoh and Bebo.
A spin off show, KateModern, premiered in
July 2007 with a video featuring Kate's art on Bebo. It can be viewed at www.KateModern.tv". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonelygirl15) The article on wikipedia even has a character list and past characters so it is definitely the new generation of the soap opera.
