Musical.ly: The social media site that can make you into a POPSTAR

If safe to say that when we're in the comfort of our own home (and alone, obvs), we crank up the music, grab a hairbrush, and sing to our fave tunes 'til our heart's content.

It's one of the best things to do, and we even sometimes find ourselves looking into our mirrors and pretending we're in the 3Arena.

Well, now there's a new social media site that has been created for doing just that – and it's actually making people famous.

Musical.ly lets users create short videos where they can lip-sync, dance or even just mess around to the sound of their favourite tunes or movie scenes, and then upload their videos to an Instagram-like feed.

It also has an entire category dedicated to TV shows and Disney movies (yaaas!).

The site has exploded in the UK and people are even getting noticed abroad for their video clips.

Essex-based Amelia Gething told The Guardian that when she was on holiday with her family this summer, a woman came up to her and asked, "Are you on Musical.ly? My daughters recognised you but they're too shy to say hello."

Amelia's videos have earned her 600,000 followers on the app and her Instagram followers have gone up from 700 to more than 90,000.

So if you fancy being a popstar, this could be the way to go!
