The Ology Team .: The winner announcement just went out :-)!!!

Caitlin Warren: What time will the winners be announced? :)

Savannah Mackenzie: Hi I'm Savannah... Ive been a fan of Ryan for 2 years now.. My favorite moment I have of ryan has to be his first concert at the roxy.. I didn't even go early and I was like 6th in line.. And I remember walking in and going straight to the stage and I was right in the front.. When the concert started people were pushing behind me because Ryan was reaching out to touch peoples hands and everyone wanted to touch his hand.. And my favorite part had to be when Ryan was singing one of his songs and held my hand for like 15 sec haha...A little later we got to take a picture with him and my phone was on video so the security guard got fustrsted and I was able to change it to picture and get my picture:) after that I made a YouTube channel with videos of Ryan and his family.. Then that night is when Ryan followed me on twitter.. Along with some of his sisters and mom and dad... They didn't all follow me that night be in the month of the concert they did.. Sadly I didn't make the other concerts after that but I did go to TeamBeatty day and there was a scavenger hunt and my group won ahha. Then we were the first to meet Ryan and I gave him a in n out card witch he liked.. Then we hung out there for a while with him and his family wiitch was so much fun!! And He's up for a TeenChoiceAward and he retweeted me a couple times and it was amazing! In the last two days Ryan has reteeeted me twice and tweeted me twice.. Being apart of TeamBeatty is the best thing I've joined... I love being apart of it and being able to support him and his family..

Nicoleee:) : My Experience – from being a viewer to a hardcore fan.
Ryan Beatty. Some people would just think that’s a name. Others recognize him as “that one YouTube singer”. But to me, Ryan is much more than a face, a name, a singer. He is my Every Little Thing.
Back when I was browsing through YouTube a couple years ago, I stumbled upon his sister Brooke’s YouTube channel and found him using it to post videos of him singing. I kept following this guy, and found that later on, he made his own channel. I’ve obviously was a huge fan of his covers – listening to it while I run, during homework, or just when I want to hang out. I didn’t think much at first; he was just one of the many on my list of talented YouTube singers. He was cute and he had a great voice – good enough for me.
But, when he covered ‘Rolling in the Deep’ by Adele in 2011, I think that’s when I first opened my eyes to really explore who this guy really was. As 16-year-old, two years older than I was at the time, I was blown away at his vocals and skills. Even though it was just a regular camera, possibly a laptop webcam even, and the overall quality was less than great, his voice still delivered. It still showed the audience that his voice was something. Something special.
I then became a more avid fan, checking constantly for new covers and updates on Twitter. You could say I went through a HUGE Ryan-Beatty-phase. He was all I could think about. Even all my friends could think about, as I never shut up about him. It elevated even further when we found out he’s coming out with a new single – Every Little Thing.
Up to this day, I love Ryan. Unfortunately, I don’t live in California, so I can’t take any of the opportunities to see him in concert or performing. But, I am still 100% proud of him and love watching videos of the performance or concert uploaded on YouTube.
His whole journey is not based on luck – it is by the hard work and talent that he got where he is today. And seeing him grow, from being that small little boy in his room with bunk bed behind him to this huge sensation with yet another single coming out three days from now, makes me realize how much Ryan has made ME grow. He taught me to never give up and to always believe in myself. Now, whenever I question if I can do anything or not, Ryan is a living example of a dream come true.
Lastly, I want to say that Ryan, if you’re reading this right now, I want to say how incredibly proud I am. I’m proud to be your fan, I’m proud of your journey, I’m proud of your raw talent… In general, I’m proud of you. You’re nominated for a Teen Choice Award for crying out loud! Next you’ll be playing Madison Square Garden ;) I know it. And I believe in you. Just know that whatever turns and decisions you make in life and your career, I will be right behind you, supporting and cheering you on.
Keep doing what you’re doing, you hipster. Because of You, I feel like I can do anything. I hope I get to meet you one day, you’re an amazing person, don’t forget that! Dream big, I love you.

!$▲b3↑ |\|∑♆e|∫ : Hellooooo I'm Izzy. I have been a supporter of Ryan for about a year now and I have talked to so many people and done so many things I would have never done if it wasn't for him. I would just like to thank him for everything. For the twitcams, the covers, the tweets, the dms, the "ask ryan" sessions, the constant love and everything he does for us. I'm not just saying that so you will pick me to win. I honestly, honestly, HONESTLY mean that. Ryan does so much for us and I am truly thankful for everything. His songs make my day better and to know that he knows I exist is still unbelievable to me. OK well now that I've said all that. One of my favorite moments of being a supporter of Ryan was last year. He was doing a twitcam and he had announced that he had a show coming up on December 3rd. Well, that is my birthday and I was like OHHH MY GOODDNESSS I HAVE TO GO. I ran down stairs and told my mom that I totally have to go and she immediately told me no because we live in Missouri so it was sort of a huge deal to go all the way to California but there was no way i was giving up there. I asked my mom every single day and she got so sick of me asking she told me that if I had talked about the concert 1 more time she would take my phone away. That was sort of depressing because then I knew that it was over. I wasn't going to be able to go. A couple days before the concert Ryan had put a contest on facebook to win tickets to the concert. You had to enter 3 reasons of why you wanted the tickets and he would pick 6 winners i believe.. (I'm not positive) So I entered. I thought why not? Its not like I’m going to win. So I said that the concert was on my birthday and it would be the best birthday present I could ever receive, I have tried to get my parents to let me buy tickets and they won’t let me, and I am completely obsessed with you and I would give ANYTHING to meet you. I had logged off my facebook and was about to go to bed and I logged on again just to check it. I had 2 notifications and they said “Ryan Beatty has liked your status. Ryan Beatty has commented on your status.” I clicked on it and he commented on my status “Congratulations. You have won 2 tickets ;)” Can I just say, I will never forget that moment in my whole until lifetime on planet earth. I literally died on the floor right then and there. I sprinted into my parents room and I screamed “I JUST WON TICKETS TO RYAN’S CONCERT” and my mom goes “Well too bad you aren’t going so it doesn’t matter anyway..” and I was like “KJSHOFIEFTJDSLKFJIE WHATEVER IM GOING OK BYE” and I picked up the phone dialed my friend Ashley’s number (my friend who is also obsessed with Ryan) and called immediately. When she answered I screamed and told her I won tickets. At first she didn’t believe me but when she figured out I was serious, she started crying, and then so did I. Ashley’s mom had found plane tickets and hotel reservations and car rentals and everything we needed to have and all my mom needed to do was say yes. At that point it was about 11 at night and pretty sure I stayed up until like 4. Hhahahah there was no way I was going to bed ANYTIME soon. So the next was literally the scariest day of my life. That was the day Ashley’s mom would call my mom and that was the day either my dream would come true or it wouldn’t. I was at school and Ashley came up to me and said “Your mom said absolutely not under any circumstance”. I literally just bursted out into tears and lost in the middle of my school hallway. Hahhaha quite a scene that was let me just tell you… I don’t think I’ve ever been that depressed ever. I know that sounds really stupid and you are probably thinking “who cares it’s just a concert”, but to me, it was everything. Ryan is all I ever think about and to meet him would be the biggest dream come true. Might I say that was the worst birthday up to date. Hopefully I don’t have a worse one… So yep that’s my story. I just hope that one day Ryan can go on tour and I can finally meet him but until there it’s just a dream. I know that was deep. Well ok enough of my weird humor. To win this contest be so amazing and have something signed by Ryan would be lsakdfjoaiersjsalkdfjewo words can describe. So pleaseeeee pick me!!!!! Ok thank you for reading my giant story. BYEBYE NOW.

Martina Idk: Hi ology staff, my name is Martina :) I don't have a moment or an experience meeting him, but I definitely have a favorite video in mind. To be honest, I love all of his videos, I just can't choose one. And plus, he looks totally ca-cute in all! I have to say, one of my favorites Ryan Beatty songs are EVL(Every Little Thing) That's his first song so far. I can't wait for his new song coming out on July 24th, Because of You. Every Little Thing is a really sweet love song, I especially love the melody too it and plus, the girl in it? Really lucky, I wish I was in her shoes ahhh!!!(: Lol, Ryan Beatty's eyes.<3 I really want to met him, especially that he's one of my favorite YouTubers! :) I heard about him in a magazine, so why not? I went to YouTube and then I checked out 1 of his videos and guess what? I totally fell in love with him. (: He's also from California, which is really epic cause its my favorite place to travel too!! :) Who knows? I might even see him someday :D My favorite features about him has to be his personality(he sounds like a really great guy!) his hair(the flip lol) His amazing eyes.<33333 I follow him on Twitter but he didn't follow back but its okay, I just need to try harder haha!! :) He's like this ordinary guy who love singing and then suddenly he upload videos of him covering popular songs now a days and then suddenly, WOW! 1,000,000 views??? 750,000 views? And yeah, I been a fan of him ever since I check out him in the magazine! He's getting bigger and bigger each day(somehow) Hes really amazing and talented, I would literally faint if I get to meet him or touch him!(lol I know, obsessive fans!) I can't wait to see more of his upcoming projects! :) If he EVER have a concert in my state, I would really go cause I wanna see him sing on the stage! I LOVE LOVE LOVE his song 'Keep Your Head Up' and 'Perfect' it has a positive message and he has a strong voice! I been entering this contest where I was trying to win his swag pack really bad, with lots of comments but I think I lost but whatever! I always will have a place in my heart even though we don't know each other haha. His gorgeous blue eyes and his flippin awesome hair! Sorry I had to mention this a lot but he's really gorgeous!!<333333333 He's just soo cute and its really sweet for a date he would take a girl to a fancy resturant or a quiet one!(stated in an mmm magazine I think) I heard he's been nominated and I will definitely vote for him since he's really amazing, just hope he wins. Been an amazing supporter of him and just hope he notices me someday! :) oh yeah i don't know why but i love watching one of his vlogs on his channel, 'TheRyanBeatty' the part where he's in China! :) his blogs tell him where he is now and his adventures which I am really happy to watch :) I guess that's it really, I'm always going to keep supporting him no matter what, he's a great cute awesome singer with awesome hair, gorgeous blue eyes and just plain pure epic! Its true though, and I will always have his back. (sorry I gotta keep repeating things) He's just one of those singers who is really ambitious and down to earth. I think that one of my goals is to 'meet him and hug him someday!' That's one of my goals if he's playing a show near my town or so. I guess that's it I have to say. Ryan Beatty is not just an ordinary singer-skater kid from Clovis, CA, he's multi-talented!!(: If I won the prize pack, I freaked, scream with pure amazement. So that's why Ryan Beatty is such an amazing guy. Well, fingers crossed!! <3

jenna ☼ : Words cannot describe how much I love Ryan. Honestly, he is one of the most amazing and down to earth artists I've ever followed. Him in general just makes me happy. I don't necessarily have a favorite particular moment, but he's helped me through a lot. Recently, my step dad and grandma have died. A lot has been going on in my family, and my mom has been struggling a lot to provide money to support me and my siblings, and it might sound tacky, but Ryan's singing and his videos really help me get through it. There's something about his voice that instantly puts me in a better mood. I've listened to them more times than I could possibly count. He's just perfect to me. I hope one day he comes here so I can personally thank him for making things so much better for me. I love him so much. He deserves everything that is given to him. The feeling of being his fan is indescribable. I hope he gets very far in his career, and no matter what, I'll always stand by him.

Ashleeey.☀ : Hello! I'm Ashley. About a year and a half ago I found Ryan Beatty's cover of "Forget You", and honestly, it changed my life. I wouldn't have met some of my greatest friends if I didn't find Ryan. I'd have to say his covers of "Everything" and "Perfect" are my favorite covers. I'm so proud of Ryan too. From watching his covers in his bedroom to his professional studio covers, it's amazing seeing and hearing his voice change and grow. And now, he is nominated for a Teen Choice Award and his EP album "Because Of You" is coming out on iTunes July 24th, 2012. That's crazy! And what's even crazier is, is that all of this happened in little over a year! The day I met Ryan was one of the best days of my life. It was June 14th, 2012 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Ryan was performing there for a Youtube tour at the local radio station. I met Ryan when everyone was waiting outside to get into the venue. I was freaking out so much in the parking lot. He came outside to meet us and that's when I got to say and give him a hug. I'm not going to lie, his give the BEST. HUGS. EVER. Then around 6:30, I think, we got to go inside the place, and two other people performed before Ryan. When Ryan came on stage I started to scream and cry, and he sang "Let It Go", "Keep Your Head Up", "Hey LA", and "Every Little Thing." He's performance was breath-taking. After Ryan went off stage a sign showed up on the big screen behind the stage saying "Ryan would like to meet you all in the lobby in ten minutes". So a lot of people, including myself, rushed out into the lobby to meet him. After waiting in line to see him I finally got to meet him again, and get a picture. After that we couldn't go back into the arena because there were to many people, but that day was incredible. Ryan is so sweet and adorable. To me, he will always be that awkward skater kid from Fresno who sings. I'm so proud of him and all that he has accomplished. <3

Isabelle Gray: Hi I'm Isabelle, My favorite video is probably Every Little Thing, because this one time I was having such a bad day and everything seemed like it was just going worng and I was so upset...I was almost about to brake down and start crying, then I saw that the Every Little Thing video had been posted and that gave my the biggest smile to not only see that but to watch it was even better!♥ I was so happy I loved the song the video him and everthing about it! I love every thing Ryan does he is so amazing my dream is to meet him one day! He is just so wonderful♥ I wanted to be a part of the Ryan Beatty Street Team and when I never got the email I cryed:'( I would do anything for him! This one dream I had I was crying (I don't know why) and Ryan came up to me and gave be a super big hug. It was one of the best dreams ever!! I am so proud of Ryan he has come such a long way! I love him so much! If I could win this it would mean the world to me♥ But I think my most favoite thing of all time is to just being able to be a Rayan Beaty fan! Tean Beatty forever♪♥

Carly : Hey there! My name is Carly and I've been a fan of Ryan's for about a year. Ever since I saw his first video on YouTube of him singing "U Smile" by Justin Bieber, I knew he was going to be a hit. I followed him on twitter and my dream was for him to follow me. I would try almost every day for him to follow me and one day he finally did! I was so ecstatic, I screamed on the top of my lungs and scared my mom (haha). It was amazing! After that I liked him even more and I didn't even think that was possible! I bought an I <3 Ryan Beatty bracelet and I even drew a picture of him. I sent that picture of him to his fan mail. I ask my mom almost every day to take me to California so I could see him which would be hard because I live all the way in Michigan. I try to watch every twitcam video of his and one time his friend, Dayyon Alexander gave me a shoutout which made me so extremely happy! He even followed me too! Another twitcam Ryan told us to post a picture on instagram of us doing the "hey LA" sign so I did and he liked it! In between all this Ryan retweeted me twice! Every single time he has noticed me I freak out! He is by far my favorite singer and it would be so amazing if I could win something autographed by him! It would be something else I could add to my list of "Ryan Beatty Moments" and it just might be the best thing on my list! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this(:

Alex : Hi. I'm Alex. I've been a fan of Ryan since last year, and I am so proud of the progress he has made since then. First, he was posting covers of songs he would sing in his bedroom, some getting millions of views. The songs he would cover had been covered so many times, still he had sung it the best in my opinion. I listened to them over and over again, finally coming upon one that I really, really loved. That's when I clicked on his, "Perfect" by Pink, cover. I can't tell you how many times I listened to that song on repeat. Now that I'm talking about it, I'm listening to it again right now. (: I just love it. That's hands down my favorite video of his. My favorite moment is when he followed me on twitter. Ryan followed me June 17, 2012. It was Team Beatty Appreciation week. Ryan told everyone that if they posted a picture of proof that they voted for him for the Teen Choice Awards, and hashtagged #RyanBeattyforTCA.... that he would follow them. He would follow everyone who did it until he hit follow limit. I had come inside to get a drink, because I was outside mowing the grass for my dad. My hand reached for my ipod out of habit, to get on twitter real quick. Once I saw the news, I ran downstairs to the computer and did exactly what Ryan said. Sure enough, a couple minutes later... I got followed. Sure, he followed a good amount of people that day too. But it meant a lot to me. I think I literally screamed when I saw that he followed me. I instantly Direct Messaged him after I saw it. I told him how incredibly thankful I was that he followed me, and how I am SO proud of how far he has come. Ending the message with a couple more thank you's. (: I wasn't expecting a response, but was more than happy to see he indeed had responded! Ryan said, "Thank YOU for the supporttt!!! :)" ... in exact words. I've saved that DM till this day, and plan to keep it forever. It's really cool to know he follows me, and can see what I say on twitter as he scrolls down the posts. That day was amazing for me. If I wasn't on twitter, at that exact time... all of it never would have happened. That’s my favorite moment and video, being a fan of Ryan Beatty. :)

Natalie : My favorite moment of being a fan of Ryan is when I actually talked to him on the phone! I've been a fan of Ryan since last year. I remember when he only had about 7,000 followers on twitter and now he has over 200,000 followers which is amazing! I've never had a chance of meeting him or seeing him in concert but I hope someday I will. I've always wanted to talk to him though, have an actual conversation. Ryan would do a lot of twitcams and sometimes he would actually call fans. Every time I would try and call Ryan over and over again but he would never answer. Even on twitter he gave out a number and said he's calling fans but I never had any luck. On July 19th, 2012 he said he was going to call fans for team beatty appreciation week. I was so excited! I DMed him my number about 20 times! haha I started to loose hope though because about an hour has passed by and he still hasn't called me. I saw a lot of people on twitter saying Ryan called them so I DMed him my number one last time. About 1 minute later I heard my phone ring. I answered it and I heard Ryan! I was so happy! We talked probably for about 1 or 2 minutes. He asked if I was voting for the Teen Choice awards and I said yes and I hope he wins. He said it was just an honor being nominated. He just kept on thanking me too! He was really nice and you can tell how much he loves his fans and he's so grateful! I asked if he's coming to Arizona and I think he said he's doing concerts towards the end of the Summer so he will hopefully be coming here! I can't remember my whole conversation with Ryan but I was just so happy that I actually talked to him! It was definitely my favorite moment of being a fan of him!
