Poll: Rebecca Black Talks "Friday", what are your thoughts?

[Mr Pantomime]

This is obviously fake. Too much lag from the audio to video.

Its a viral marketing campaign for a new movie called "The Music Factory" about a facility that makes cyborg pop stars.

BAH!!! She finally got hit by an encyclopedia...this is ridiculous XD

So, What are your thoughts on this ? Just curious.

Either she's got a wickedly sharp sense of humour or someone else has. She's a genius either way.

Good to know I can count on my friends at The Escapist when it comes to hearing all about what Rebecca Black is doing. I'm sure if she wears odd socks sometime next week there'll be a thread here about that, too.

Yeah, but this makes it worse in my opinion. It's basically like she's coming out and saying "Yeah I knew it was shit as well so that makes it okay". It comes across as if she is saying "So you didn't like my song? Well I'm going to mock my own work so you give me more attention".

My problem is she clearly doesn't believe the song is bad. If she did, she probably wouldn't have done it in the first place. No way did she look at the song and go "This is shit. No one is going to like this. Let's do it". She probably thought "OH MY GOD This song is going to be AWESOME!!!" and now that everyone is bagging it she's trying to jump on board with like "Oh I totally agree guys. It's not my fault; I knew it was stupid".

Fair enough I suppose, but the video is meant to parody all those vapid artists and music critics that read all kinds of stuff into nothing (also see The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_Scrotie_McBoogerballs]). If she wasn't acting seriously, the video would make no sense and wouldn't be amusing.

And how do you know what she thinks? Can you read her mind? Obviously she didn't think the song was that bad upon its release, but she saw the criticism and rolled with it, as evidenced by the video above. I think it is funny and shows she has a good sense of humour about the whole ordeal. I mean, what would you prefer, that she go pout in the corner because the song has been universally panned, like a proper diva? She's only thirteen for fuck sake. Give her some credit for being a good sport, you know?

Anyway, it is just some shitty pop song. They've been around for as long as popular music has existed and will keep going long after you or I cease to be. Sometimes I am astounded at how much hate these kid singers receive, when really, indifference is all that is needed.

And here I am defending Rebbecca Black. Never thought I'd see the day.

I would have prefered if she'd just gone "Oh well... that wasn't nearly as good as I thought it was. Better luck next time". Not try to cover her own ass because a lot of people really didn't like her song.

Just as a final note, I doubt this video is intended to "cover her ass" but was merely meant to be a simple joke. It was made by the site Funny or Die originally, so they probably approached her to do it. I honestly think you're reading too much into this whole thing.

And who knows? Maybe she'll go on to learn and make better music. Can't have magic without a few failures first, even if this failure managed to grab so much attention.

Anyway, no point in going on about such silly matters. The last word goes to you, if you wish.

 

[King of the Sandbox]

What's a Rebecca Black?

 

[Bon_Clay]

I don't think that's even her, missing that mole she has in the video.

Its CLEARLY a joke either way, and I found the video pretty funny. The part at the end about the guy from Full House gives it away to such a blatantly obvious degree it would scare me if someone thought it was actually her being serious or trying to defend the song.

 

[Dr. Manhattan]

Bullshit! Pure bullshit..

I fully agree. What she is saying is complete rubbish and she seems like a complete moron. If she believes what she is saying is true, she is one.

This is the funniest interview I have ever seen in my life. A mate of mine couldn't breathe for about 15 seconds whilst watching this he was laughing so hard...and it takes a lot to make him laugh. Her stupidity in this is hilarious.

 

[scorptatious]

This is either a joke, or she is pulling stuff right out of her tight little ass. It's most likely the former though.

 

[Blindswordmaster]

I guess she really is retarded. I'm going to send her a lions helmet.
