Rebecca Black's "Friday"

It’s Friday, Friday
Gotta get down on Friday
Everybody's lookin' forward to the weekend, weekend
Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today i-is Friday, Friday (Partyin')
We-we-we so excited
We so excited
We gonna have a ball today
Familiar with this song? FRIDAY the very controversial music video as of now, which got  likes1,839,721 dislikesCan you imagine that? More dislikes than likes! wow to that! They even consider her music video to be the "worst song ever" or "worst song in recorded history". Come to think of that.

So the question is..


How was Rebecca Black discovered really?
Well she was not discovered, her parents paid for her to be famous. She had her parents pay producers to write a song for her and to record a music video. Rebecca Black's mother, Georgina Kelly, paid Ark Music $4,000 for a song and accompanying video that included a choice of two pre-written songs. According to Kelly, the payment covered one half or less of the production costs of the music video, and Black's family could have paid nothing in exchange for giving up all rights to the song. The video was shot in at their house with friends and family as extras and requiring multiple takes over 12 hours. UNFORTUNATELY the song has received almost universally negative reviews. So do you think its all worth the price? 

Do you think rebecca black will continue becoming famous? 
Many says they don't see any fame for this girl but with these news headlines saying "the next teen sensation" or "the next Justin Beiber". Might be, might not. There are compared to each other because of the same starting situation:

(It surpassed Justin Bieber's "Baby" as the most disliked YouTube video.)

But there are lots of differences between Rebecca Black and Justin Beiber. Justin is really talented, he worked hard to make videos and to become famous the REAL way. While Rebecca was so desperate, that she had her parents pay producer's to write a song for her. She is weird and crazy, and the idea that she got the fame using her parents money is so unfair!  She is famous for being a terrible singer and gets made fun of way more than Justin. i love the way how Charlie Sheen said it, 
"Rebecca Black, we don't hate you because you're famous. You're famous because we hate you." 
EXACTLY! It's just that.. You don't get her, right?
