Friday By Rebecca Black

[Mr. DS]

I posted this in the "YouTube Of The Day" thread.  I really think this may be the absolute worst song I've ever heard.

Please, prove your bravery by watching ALL OF IT.  I know the girl is only 13 but I really think mommy and daddy pushed her to think she has actual talent.  Plus if you throw yourself out there by singing such an awful song you deserved to be picked apart critically.

I kind of like it for it's awkwardness. its almost sort of punk in that respect

[Doggett]

Its been removed.

[Rev. Powell]

Its been removed.

Must be in the UK only, I can see it fine.

Unfortunately. 

[TheDope]

I saw it back when it only had like 750,000 hits.  Errgh.   

I do like one of the YouTube comments, which was something along the lines of "The black guy in this video lost all of his black credibility by being in this."

[Mr. DS]

It circulated work today and I actually hadn't heard of it before then.  We had massive arguments of whether or not it was real. Side note, I heard the black guy was the producer or something. 

[Mofo Rising]

It's a pretty insipid song. I don't quite get all the hatred towards it, though, since if you're not a 12-year-old girly girl there's really no reason for this song to be in your view.

The only reason I know about it is because of this video, which a blog I read pointed to.

[Doggett]

Not as bad as this:

It's not a bad song.  Considering it's a mostly vanity label from what I understand.  I read some writers in Rolling Stone actually gave her some good reviews when she sang in person for them or some such.  She's young, didn't write it, didn't produce it so I guess she shouldn't necessarily take all the flack or hatred.  She just wanted to sing some songs and the producer gave her this albatross.

Unfortunately. 

If there is a god, it must favor the UK.

Now, where did I put that rusty old spoon so I can dig out my eyes.

Gotta be the most banal lyrics I've ever heard.  Maybe it's a parody?  I'm not up on what young people would be parodying these days.

I really don't mind her voice too much, she's got that one note down pretty well.  Of course I only made it about 1:30 into it.

[Mr. DS]

I understand that people will defend this video/song which is fine.  All opinions are appreciated but for me personally:

Top Reasons Why I Hate This Song/Video (to be taken half light heartedly)

1.) If there is one age group that totally annoys me, its 13 year olds.  
2.) Her voice is ridiculously nasally
3.) Do we really need another pop princess?  Doesn't Disney have that covered?
4.) The lyrics contain some of the worst fillers I've ever heard.  Mick Jagger or Steve Perry could simply be singing "whooaaaaa" and "yeaaaaaah" for a few bars and we went with it.  However combine reason #2 with lyrics like "FUN FUN FUN".  
5.) We've had enough songs about the weekend and Fridays.  
6.) I'm sick of the "My Sweet 16" kind of crowd (yes I know she's 13 but it fits) that seem to keep getting what they want.  
7.) Certain people are claiming cyberbullying for this song/video.  I guess if some idiot is saying "go kill yourself" its unappropiate.  Still, if you throw yourself out there in the public eye you better be ready for that.  
8.) Braces and moles scare me

[Mr. DS]

9.) The rap guy is just silly
10.) Improper English is used in the breakdown part of the song.
