Part of being in the public eye is attracting criticism and it is how you deal with it. I think you are overreacting with the death threats and everyone hating her. Life ruined? Jeez. She is young and has the rest of her life ahead of her. Most of that post is bull ****!

I like how you continually put her in comparison with people who have been on tv talent shows, people who know the popularity these shows have and the attention they will recieve afterwards. You are comparing her continually to fame whores and saying she should deal with it like they have, when they
want the attention, they
crave the attention, its nothing like the same thing!!
Do you know how the ARK Music Factory works? They advertise specifically for talented girls aged 13-17 who have no material of their own. For a high price to the parents they will write a song, record (and autotune) your daughter singing it, and produce a video for it. It will then be put on Youtube for you and your daughter to show off to friends and family. They dont actually care about the singers, they are a business and looking to take advantage of parents with a love of seeing their child happy and a fat chequebook.
As much as she may have wanted to be a pop star, she would never have known that the amount of attention she has recieved would be like it has been. But people are past the point of commenting on how bad the song is, they are commenting on her as a person. People like me who defend Rebecca Black, would never sit here and tell you that she has made a perfect pop song. But I will sure as hell defend her as a person, because as bad as the song is she is just a 13 year old girl.
If you want to compare her to anyone, you should compare her to someone who has a similar story to their fame like the Star Wars Kid. He also had a video put on youtube, that became an internet meme with millions of people worldwide mocking him. He has had years of psychiactric help for the trauma the experience of being the butt of everyone's jokes has caused him. There's no such thing as bad publicity though, isnt that right?
I'm not saying the exact same will happen to Rebecca Black, but it is clearly a possibility that you should not dismiss so easily.
As for me overreacting to the death threats, how am I supposed to react? Are you seriously condoning the actions of anonymous people sending death threats to a 13 year old girl? Seriously?
