This new sensation Rebecca Black. I wonder what is in store for her? She is only 13. I think the song is silly but I'm too old to judge right. Amazing what the internet can do.

You ever notice the number of dis-like votes she got?  That should say something.

Yes but look at the dislike stats compared to the number of hits at 66 million plus. Justin Bieber was also very high on the dislikes. This is music for adolescents that is not naughty. OK by me. Good for her. I hope she makes some coin and does not go down any bad paths in life as often can be the case.

Waylon Jennings was often criticized yet he remarked, "I laugh about it all the way to the bank."


My reason for posting was just to comment on how things work nowadays with the internet. Traditional channels for music and star discovery are history.

She can sing well, they just gave her a crappy song. I'm still wondering why the heck they gave this 13 year old the choice between singing "Friday" and "another song that was about adult love."

  Rog if you need help deciding...it sucks. The only reason it has so many hits is because people say, "Hey, look how bad this video/song is." If being popular because you are so bad is worth money to her and she gains success off of it, hey...wtg I guess.

The reason she has so many viewers is cause ppl like outbackzack who totally diss the singers and ppl go to the video to dislike them.

I'm a teenager and I find her music sucks.

Also, she is scary looking.

- don't care about her music good or bad, it's irrelevant to me

- she is probably going to make lots of money (no such thing as bad publicity)

- interesting how the internet can turn something like this into a wild sensation

I've seen better productions out of less material/talent and a smaller budget, and I've seen worse.  If anything, this little girl has a bright future as a publicist (or knows someone who does).

You do know her parents are already rich and shelled out the cash to pay for their little starlet to be featured in her own production, right?  I don't disagree with your points, but it makes me sad that there are lots more heavily talented 13-yos in the world who could use a real chance/break in hollywood or on teh internet but because they don't have the $ or spoiling them rich parents, the world will never hear them. 

I'm also a little pessimistic about how this became such a sensation, seemed like she was on good morning america less than 24-hours after it hit the youtube fame jackpot, I suppose she could of done all the promoting and pushing to of gotten it seen and noticed by herself... or, much the same way the video itself was produced, her mother paid a professional for their services.

I call it like I see it, and I see she has more testosterone than a bull elephant.
