Best YouTube viral videos of 2009

Chosen by MSNBC, the best 2009 YouTube videos include
Susan Boyle at Britain got talent, whose Amazon.com CD was an absolute bestseller
Dentist doped kid – David at the dentist
Funny JK wedding dance

YouTube’s 2009 star was Susan Boyle, the frumpy Scottish woman who mesmerized the world with a heartwarming rendition of “I Dreamed A Dream” on a British talent show in April.

Boyle, now 48, ended up taking second place in that competition, but no one came close to outshining her on YouTube. Her “Britain’s Got Talent” videos attracted more than 120 million views worldwide.

That was more than the next three most-watched videos combined, according to YouTube.

The second spot, with more than 37 million views, was held by “David After Dentist,” which featured a 7-year-old boy recovering from some dental work that left him feeling disoriented and wondering if he would ever feel normal again.

Third place went to “JK Wedding Entrance Dance,” which captured an elaborate routine orchestrated by Jill Peterson and Kevin Heinz — flanked by their bridesmaids and groomsmen — just before their July marriage.
