Duggars launch their own music channel on YouTube; Duggar Studios gets the thumbs up from big sister Jill

The Duggars & Bates perform "Happiness" by Lawson Bates Duggar Studios/YouTube

Duggar daughters Jill and Jessa are frequently in the news, but their younger brothers are the ones making headlines this week.

Some of the "19 Kids & Counting" sons recently created a YouTube channel, "Duggar Studios," mostly containing music videos of them lip-syncing to country songs.

The first video is a collaboration with their friends, the Bates family. The Duggar and Bates boys lip-sync Lawson Bates' rendition of "Happiness is the Lord," which includes plenty of yodeling. The boys also play the ukulele, guitar, accordion, and violin in the free-spirited music video.

Big sister Jill Duggar promoted her brothers' effort in an Instagram post. "Everyone has to check out my brother's YouTube channel 'Duggar Studios' to see their latest music video 'Happiness' #duggarguys #batesguys #lawbates #happiness #jillmdillard," she wrote.

The next video is well-edited, stop motion video produced by Jason and Josiah Duggar. Entitled "Good Morning," the two-minute production begins with Jason getting out of bed, putting on his shoes, and going through his daily routine. Some interesting camera tricks include push-ups with one hand, then no hands, and telekinesis.

The Bates and Duggar families combine their efforts again in the lip-synced music videos for Ricky Skaggs' "Enjoy the Ride," and Marty Robbins' "Big Iron." The latter video is hilarious, and features choreographed fights, enthusiastic acting, and a literal iron on the actor's hip. "I've seen some funny things... and then there's this..." the video's caption read.

The Duggar Studios videos that allow comments have received a positive response.

"I love this. Great song & great video," Lizette Rodriguez wrote regarding the "Enjoy the Ride" music video.

"This must've taken a while to shoot!" Chance Rogers posted on the "Good Morning" video's page. "It turned out really good though! Good job on the commitment to the video boys and good luck on future videos!"

"Wow! God has gifted you!" another commenter wrote.

Over 3,600 people have subscribed to the Duggar Studios YouTube channel.
