For the two of you who live in a cave, Rebecca Black is the girl who sings the hit song “Friday” which has gone from 7,000 views on YouTube to almost 16 million in just a week. It’s been called the worst song ever made and has earned the world record for sucking hard. Consequently, Good Morning America interviewed her for the first time on television since Fri-day.
How did it go? Well, it was possibly one of the greatest interviews ever. The first thing GMA does is lull her into a false sense of security by complimenting her on how popular her song has gotten. Using the element of surprise, they take her heart, throw it to the floor and stomp on it by telling her how much everyone thinks she sucks and reading her user comments like “your song Friday is the worst song I’ve ever heard in my entire life. Even deaf people are complaining.” Surprisingly, it doesn’t bother Rebecca as you can tell by the way she slightly chokes back a few tears. If that wasn’t enough, they had her repeat the meanest thing someone said about her. If you’re curious, it was “I hope you cut yourself and I hope you getting an eating disorder so you’ll look pretty. And I hope you go cut and die.”
A couple facts about Ark Music Factory, the people who produced the video. They were paid $2,000 by Rebecca and her mom to record the song. This was after auditioning. Also, in the video they claim Rebecca has a decent voice which was made worse by the autotune.
Whatever though. This song is still terrible which is what makes it so amazing. A monkey could have written better lyrics and all it’d do is throw poo at a piece of paper. At least take solace in the fact that Chris Brown isn’t hatin’ on it. That’s one fist Rebecca’s face won’t have to worry about.
Its really not just her voice. It is actually made really nasal-sounding with the auto-tune, but who’s going to say it isn’t? I could achieve a similar affect by singing the song while having a cold. The thing is, everything about the video, her makeup, the lyrics… just one big mistake. I’m not going to deny she has some talent, but I think Ark Music Factory ruined it for her…
I’m going to disagree with one thing. She has no talent. None. This will end up on some “worst of” music compilation.
If you listen to her acoustic version, it’s just as bad. Maybe a little better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jtVtSTr070&feature=player_embedded
i actually think it’s a catchy song. There are tons of artists and songs out there that are equally shallow and meaningless.
Tons? That is actually a unit of of weight or used as a unit of volume. It can also be used as a measure of energy for truck classification. But please…enlighten us. Name 50 artists as shallow as the talent that Rebecca has (or actually, doesn’t have) What this proves is that the American youth of today that actually defends this song or worse yet…purchases it (ewwwwww) have absolutely no clue what good music is. They are more apt to like a song where: 1) The voice isn’t even the singers because of machine enhancement – Britney Spears, J-Lo, Rebecca…… Read more »
What is truly sad is that you can tell she does not get what a joke she is. Her voice is terrible. The “live” version had to be done over and over. Notice that the piano player is missing in half of it. Her nasal voice is really grating. It is not her fault about the inane and banal lyrics as she didn’t write them. Most people want their kids to be happy and will do anything they can to foster their dreams but I don’t think her parents did her any favors in encouraging her to sing in public.… Read more »
hahahahaHAHAHAHA god, I am thankful this Rebecca Black thing exists because I got to laugh so hard at this little post of yours :D
Actually this was simply bad marketing. Something they did right with another talentless girl who hit big, justin bieber.
