So I think it's unfair that people are attacking Black herself. She's not a great singer ("Fry-Eee-Day" is her largest offense,) but most thirteen year olds don't sing nearly as well. And that's all she did. She did not write this song. Fake Usher and another guy wrote the song and produced it. It's their fucking fault. Let's take on Ark Music Company or whatever they call themselves.
Though laughing at the video, her voice, etc.? Completely acceptable, as it's funny as hell.
What kind of message is this sending kids? That its ok to get krunk on a Friday night and be driven around in the back seat of a convertible with no seatbelts by a distracted, inexperienced vehicle operator?
He certainly looks ready to have some paedophilia fun fun fun fun. "
When I saw this video I got the impression that this guy was on his way to the 13 year olds party to sell them weed or deliver the booze that he just bought for them...
" I think her voice sucks, even with the autotune. The video reeks of amateur production and the rapper in it just came off as creepy, not to mention the fact that his lyrics were terrible. If she plans on competing with the likes of Ke$ha and Lady Gaga, she's fucked. "
I think the worst part of that random rapper at the end there was the fact that he was rapping about school buses... I mean really?!?
" "yesterday was Thursday, today is Friday, tomorrow is Saturday, the day after is Sunday!" i feel bad for the girl though. Hypothetically, she probably has some level of talent to make it to the point were a studio invested enough money to make a video with her. I mean, you can easily find a 13 year old to put in front of a camera. Instead of the girl nurturing her talent she may or may not have, someone showed her autotune and now her name is trashed. She should have just learned to sing better for a couple of years. "
Actually she had to pay Ark Music to record the song

we're no longer in the age of 'sending messages to children' children are hybrid fucking beasts nowadays.. they dont get any messages from anything, they just roll like they do
This is what happends when bratt kids get there own way. Its obviously the parents having to much money and a stupid kid saying how she wants a music video to be popular.
Did anyone see her on Good Morning America? On one hand, I feel bad for her. She's a 13 year old girl being ridiculed by our entire society. On the other hand she is trying to prove to us that she can sing by singing a bit of the national anthem which just seems desperate and the way she asks Justin Beiber to do a duet with her makes me cringe. I bet she will come out with one more stupid music video and is forgotten forever.
Yeah, I'm part of the other 20%...actually the 2.3% to 3.4% according to some polls around here. And, the people of my generation don't approve of "fun". We like "toil" and "misery". When I was her age I was hauling coal in a burlap sack up a steep hill for Union Carbide. I was whipped three times a day by the foreman and he called me "Nancy". For supper I ate warm gruel and for breakfast I had leftover cold gruel. That is, if there were leftovers. We didn't get lunch but we were allowed to watch the owner eat a stewed chicken if we met our morning quota. John D. Rockafeller once kicked me in the shins because the odor of mediocrity offended him and that was on my birthday. It was a monotonous hardship that would shred a man's soul and that's the way we liked it. When I was her age, we didn't have the option of backseats or front seats. Our only choice was sleep on a pile of jagged rocks or sleep with the flea infested rats. And, we were thankful for that. You kids and your "fun". Bah, you've all been spoiled by your "happiness" and "regular meals" and "sunshine". No wonder this country's going down the drain. That's right, I blame all of you for everything that makes me uncomfortable. Now, I'm going to lie down because my kidney stone is acting up. I'm certain Rebecca Black probably has something to do with that, too.
Is that the gross amount of money coming into iTunes? Because of the 99 cents you pay for a song, the artist only gets one or two cents, and the record company splits the rest with Apple. So she's probably making way less than that.
So now that this thing has been going strong for about a week now, I've come to the conclusion that the internet has gone too far with this Rebecca Black thing.
@wrathofconn: Not true. The company that made her the video and the song probably gets a lot of it, but I read they used Tunecore, like every other independent musician and label does, and they don't take royalties off the top, so it's like $.70 or something from Apple. Coldplay probably gets a penny. That Ark company and her are making far more.
