It's definitely very hilarious to think that even someone like me who comments right away on something by calling it flooringly a jaw-dropper, nothing-but-ordinary or dreafully a flop, stopped for seconds when I first saw and heard the music video of Rebecca Black's Friday on Youtube. Man, I really felt like I had the meanest involuntary goosebumps and the most sinister laugh in my life both in a single reaction. Rebecca, oh Rebecca!

THE SONG:

Friday was released for digital download by Label Ark Music Factory as the teen-dance pop debut single of the 13-year-old Rebecca Black from Anaheim Hills, California. Her mother paid the label $4,000 for a song and an accompanying video. Rebecca was originally given two song choices but chose "Friday" rather than the other song which she said was about adult love and she hasn't experienced that yet. Well, I don't know how everything could have turned out if she chose the other one.

THE VIDEO:


The video is literally based on the song and nothing else, as of May 12, 2011, it has 140.3 Million views with 379 thousand likes and 2.8 Million dislikes from Youtube users surpassing the 1.19 million dislike of Justin Bieber's Baby.

MY REACTION:

Well, I am not as wretched as those Youtube users who commented things like: "I hope you go cut [yourself] and die" and "I hope you cut yourself, and I hope you'll get an eating disorder so you'll look pretty." That's way too murderous and suicidal. I adhere to formal managements. I believe we can work this out calmly through verbal acrobatics. People, don't get too mean.

Honestly, she was trending in Twitter one day last March that's why I googled her. I was eventually directed to Youtube. I saw her. Finally! She is, at least for me, gorgeous-looking. I think like she is a facial hybrid of Selena Gomez and Lindsay Lohan.
However, her projections are very annoying. She defeats the purpose of her face for the media. It's too apparent that she's faking everything since a camera is in front of her.

As for the lyrics, I pictured out that the writer was looking at Rebecca Black's Twitter page on a friday night then copied the words there from her tweets. I can never associate the lyrics of the song with the narrations found in country songs or with the stories in the rap songs of Flo-Rida and Nicki Minaj. Comparisons would be awful since the lyrics are like lines of an unbearable nursery rhyme which doesn't rhyme at all. The words are like those that are frustratingly delivered by a speaker on a seminar full of bored and sleepy people. The rap part too of the song is very disappointing. What's with the buses?

The label extensively used Auto-tune on Rebecca's voice making her sound like an untrained announcer in an airport who thinks that she sounds good singing a Ke$ha song a cappella even if she doesn't. The vocals are just too forehead-weaver for a 13-year-old girl like Rebecca who sings in an anti-charismatic way.

All together, the lyrics, the vocals and the music video, I wouldn't bother to disagree or debate with Yahoo! Music if it could be the "worst song ever".

Despite all that, Rebecca Black's a good girl and a philantrophist. Even if she's not an artist, she still got good comments from Chris Brown, Miley Cyrus and Simon Cowell (try reading the Wikipedia entry for the song).

When I heard Glee's version with all male vocals, I felt like the song is finally given justice. I refer to the song's beat. It's the only thing that I think is okay with the song. And Glee guys won on that. Any honest opinion?#
