It looks nice, but it's really out of tune. Get it in tune and make another video.
 
Also... any instrument can sound badass with the right groove and love! I know this guy that can make my fifty dollar Peavey screeeaaam and that's proof you don't need the most expensive stuff to sound good. :)

Sounds like you've got some intonation issues. It's in tune on the C chord, but when you play the G chord it's out.
 
ohhh hmmm so how do i fix it? i used the martin crystal nylong string, i also wonder if its the uke or string or me?
 
i see what your talking about man, n i checked if it was in tune n it was out of tune again that's why, its because of the strings i just got the uke today n i immediately change the strings
 
Give your strings time to stretch. Check them often while and between playing. You'll notice, that in time, the nylon strings will set, then you should be good to go, unless your friction tuners are slipping. The tuners should be snug enough to hold the tune but not too tight where you'd sprain your fingers, or worse yet, damage the uke.

There's lots of info here on strings, string height, intonation issues, etc.
