Is Rebecca Black a bigger gay icon than Madonna?

Ladies & gentlemen, girls & boys - please heed the warning from page 1 of this thread. Also note that, if you don't know who she is, there is a link to her YouTube clip (which we un-embedded 'cos she is a minor) in the opening post on page 1.

Repeated for emphasis: SHE IS A MINOR. Please do not post pics, clips or gifs of her here - they will be deleted (as I am deleting the preceding post for that exact reason).

Color me ignorant but who is Rebecca Black?

Whatever you may think of Rebecca Black, the girl is — dare we say it? — a star. She's been a constant Twitter trend and she's already beat Lady Gaga in YouTube views, as the official version of her polarizing clip for "Friday" has been watched more than 33.5 million times on the website. And now it seems that the 13-year-old is getting to cash in on her new-found fame.

According to Forbes magazine the $2,000 Black's mother shelled out to Los Angeles-based record company Ark Music Factory for the recording of the song and its lo-fi video has been made back many times over. By Forbes' estimations, by the time the tune's clip hit the 30 million YouTube view mark, everyone had profited $20,000 — a 1000-percent return on the original investment.

I hope that helps ..|
 
I hated that song. It just got on my nerves so much that I, for the first time in my life, became one of *those* people that leave comments saying "bla bla bla you should die bla bla bla hope you get V.D.s bla bla bla media coverage of your impending crack addiction".
I'm not proud of it. But all I have to do is listen to the first two notes of the "song" (and I use the term loosely), and my guilt just sublimates like ice thrown into lava.
 
I thought the song was very catchy and hilarious. Hopefully, we'll see more from Rebecca Black in the future.
 
The tune is catchy, and the girl isn't THAT bad considering she's 13.

The lyrics, however... the lyrics are just... oh god.
 
i had to see what the buzz about her was about... and all i can say is:

o.O

is there a place i can go to get my 4 minutes of time back from listening to that?
 
I read she had more then $20,000 I read that her youtube payment was the 20,000 + her MILLIONS of online download sales give her an income of 1,000,000
 
60,800 likes, 519,155 dislikes

:lol:

At least the majority of the people aren't trying to justify it as a good song. Because it is a god awful song, if you can even call it a song. Its basically a person talking normal and whoring auto tune...

Can't for the life of me figure out why it is trending.(I will admit thought that a few of the parodies are hilarious and make it worthwhile )
 
Gah! She is the freaking Black Plague!

Everywhere I go - Rebecca Black!

I think she actually pisses me off more than Bieber.

The song is terrible. And I'm WELL aware how old she is. It benefits me, because it helps prove that people need to grow up before they decide (without proof) that they have talent and aim for success. It works for some, but for the love of music it doesn't work for everyone! Look at American FREAKING Idol. They put a 15 year old on there who cries when the judges go easy on her.

Everything I saw and heard was terrible, and to my musically trained ear, I became ever more aware of how cats feel when forced to hear some talentless person screech like a dying animal with some sort of vocal steroids.

Age is not a reason to defend her, but another reason to stand in front of her and point out that she should try aiming for becoming an adult and see if she gains the maturity to handle when people don't like her. No matter how good or famous you are, there will be people who don't like you and who will be harsh about it. You can't run around crying to everyone when that happens. She also needs to learn when to not act so very 13 with defiance. There is a REASON so very many people hate her. She's terrible and personifies the issues with these kids deciding they want fame. Plus, Bieber hate is almost certainly spilling onto her as well. It is inevitable.

Also, age as a defence is BS once you've thrown yourself out there, even if it left you flopping around the deck like a fish out of water. You said "Screw you I'm not listening to reason" and now people are just saying "You're absolutely terrible" so you run off crying and people hide you behind age. Give me a break.

Child stars CAN work, Rebecca Black is just simply not one of them. She's terrible, but again she's not the rule here, she just violated them. Now someone who didn't, who shows how to do child stardom correctly...

Two words: Shirley Temple
 
Maybe she'll be able to sing with hard work one day? Honestly, I like the song. I guess it's because how she pronounces "friday" as "fried eggs" :P
 
Consider a different route?

She's popping up on the front page of JUB! If I thought I'd be safe anywhere, it was here.
 
^ so you were trying to avoid camp by going to a place where gay men gather? that strategy needs rethinking.

meanwhile, in only marginally interesting news, pitchfork published a toxic review of starlet jesse j's debut album, ending it as follows:

On the same weekend Jessie J was getting her first big push in America as the musical guest on "Saturday Night Live", the music video for Rebecca Black's "Friday" was just beginning to spread around the Internet as a viral sensation. "Friday" took off because people were calling it the worst song ever and mocking its dopey lyrics and awkward approximation of standard modern pop tropes. The biggest difference between Black's song and the contents of Who You Are is that while Jessie J gets the expected formula of pop "right," the hapless Black gets it "wrong." But in that "wrongness" lies a humanity that J cannot approach. Even through bad vocal processing, Black sounds like a specific person. Also, the lyrics of "Friday" may be undeniably clunky, but there is a magic to them that makes the song funny and immensely quotable, like a lot of great pop songs throughout history. Jessie J's lyrics are no less banal and artless, but they lack charm entirely. When she's not going off on bitter rants against those who doubt her, she mainly sings forgettable boilerplate or spouts vapid utopian nonsense, as on the utterly nauseating "Rainbow". Black gets attacked for representing the worst of modern pop, but she's a gawky 13-year-old amateur backed up by a Z-grade production company. If you need to rail against dumb, soulless music, Jessie J is a far better target.

whod have thunk? pitchfork, of all people, are turning out to be the ones defending becky black!
 
This version is more tolerable, lol! (And no minors in it, so fine to post here.) Never underestimate a reasonably good singer turning sheer junk into something more passable, even if it's parody of those big faux-epic numbers (Diane Warren, we're talking to you)! ..|

I'll argue this is worse. Voices like hers with limited power and range are very common. The arrangement is boring and too emotional. It's incredibly dull.

Rebecca makes you laugh. And then she gets stuck in your head.
