Rebecca Black It's Friday

[princessamy]

I know this girl has blown up the internet in the past week and I want to know what do you guys think about her song/video?
For those who don't know what I'm talking about here is the link to her video

GAH

I JUST got this goddamn song out of my head. Damn you!! Lol

[Kappamd]

I think it may be the worst song ever written.

[agzg]

Sounds fine for tweens but she's no Willow.

Wait. "We so excited?"

IS PROPER GRAMMAR NOT ENOUGH FOR KIDS THESE DAYS?!?!

Also, you can tell she sings while smiling to record, as well as to lip sync in videos. "FrIIIIIIIday" "lookin' foARWAARD to the weekend." Those are very unattractive sounds in the English language.

Interesting.

She's still no Willow. k_s, can you whip your scalp back and forth again?

[cheerfulgreek]

I don't know why, but when I first saw this thread, I read it as "it's black friday". I was like "huh?"

[knight_shadow]

I got too analytical with this song when I heard it last week.

- If there is one seat available in the car, why are you trying to decide which seat to choose?
- I don't think I ever went to house parties during the "bus riding" years.
- Who is that random ass rapper, and why is he at a HS party?
- Ditto on the "We so excited"

GAAAAAAH

@ agzg -- I'm whipping my scalp back and forth right now, mostly because I hopped up outta bed and turned my swag on.

[KSig RC]

Pretty sure the random "Fun/ fun/ fun" breakdown in the chorus is way worse than the grammar 'mistake'.

It's weird - the diction/syntax both sound like somebody's mom wrote it trying to sound like a 'hip kid', but the actual subject material is so retarded that the 13yo could have easily written it herself. The mind boggles.

Also the level of autotune used is mind-blowing - the kid doesn't even really have a singing voice. Was this a My Super Sweet 16 present or something? How did this get made?

[PiKA2001]

That was awkwardly funny. She looks like she's fighting constipation throughout the entire video.

[BluPhire]

Too much autotune.

Saw it on the news this morning.

[ASTalumna06]

Seriously, who thought this was a good idea?!

Words can't describe how incredibly horrible this is.


Yesterday was Thursday
Today it is Friday
We so excited
We gonna have a ball today
Tomorrow is Saturday
And Sunday comes afterwards


This reads like a children's book about the days of the week.

If I had enough upper body strength, I would stab myself in the ear with a fork. It would be nice, because I couldn't hear this song over the blood pouring into my ears.

Sidenote: If this actually passes in the real world, maybe I should reconsider that whole poet career.

Bahahaha, I thought the same thing!

The lyrics reminded me of the randomness of LFO's Summer Girls, which I would rather listen to any day.

[XAntoftheSkyX]

Meanwhile, dozens of legitimate musicians and artists are being passed over because they use proper grammar and do not auto-tune their voices.



yeah, I mad.

ETA: The famous one-two GC Delta Chi punch!

[Lady Pi]

I feel so bad for this girl!! I would be embarrassed.

This video was made by a big company (Ark Music Factory) that makes music videos for kids and teenagers. Kind of like those booths in the mall way back when where you could tape yourself singing in front of a screen and then you would get a "music video" or cassette of yourself just for fun. She's not trying to be famous, her parents probably got her this as a birthday present.

What's scary is how much they probably spent on this!

HEY, you leave LFO out of this. New Kids on the Block DID have a bunch of hits.
