I mean, really, as terrible as she is, I respect her a million times more than the people inevitably making YTMND pages about it on the Internet to feign superiority. She took a risk, **** it.
With that said now, I only hope she fades into obscurity. I think if anything is a joke it's the fact that as a culture we're hyping this "har... It's so baddd it's funneeyyy" **** rather than promoting good music that goes unheard of(99% of all decent new music). I don't think this is a commentary about her, but as ludicrously stupid the Internet generation can be at times, as well as mentioned, the hypocrisy of pop elitists.
I don't think Rebecca Black is a loser at all, I think the world that tears into her are failures. She did something for the **** of it not expecting to become this phenomenon. Unlike popular pop stars she's not a seedy deluded wannabe diva with too much money, hyping, and backing. Just some dumb girl who made something fun to feel good. I respect that, it should have stayed that, and she should have done it without ridicule.
So many contradictions and hypocrisy in this post right here.

Clarify, I must have missed a few. All I was saying was that she's just a kid. The only real hypocrisy I could see is my extensive criticism of Justin Bieber. However, Bieber at least has some measure of loyal fanbase, and protection. He's not carted out as a joke. It's the fault of those who make a big deal of her, in the end, not her in particular.
I did retract a portion of it being misinformed. I can't give her that much credit for sticking her neck out. Mostly on the Ark situation, since for some reason I thought this was self recorded. I don't retract, however, blaming the Internet for this.

I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grave
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords.
I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
but I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on
Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in second splat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
and Somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
I'd love to turn you on

I know you are making jokes and stuff but technically her mother paid :P
Also she can sort of sing. She's not as horrible as the autotune made her sound

she doesn't care that people think it's hilarious, where it steps over the line is when they start threatening her life.

While I do not approve of the threats on her life, I still think that she is a retard for even accepting to sing a song like Friday.

The problem with this statement is that it's not that funny.
A) It is a child.
B) As mentioned before it glorifies the justification of equally terrible music somehow being superior if it's created by adults, and mass marketed with random sexual imagery on random radio stations.
C) I used to grow up with tons of dumbass girls in high school who paid these ripoff studios to do the exact same thing. Doesn't justify it being such a ridiculous Internet trend.
D) She not only is getting death threats, but being ridiculously pranked, and hazed. Of course, she's going to find the same escape in that as she's pretty much locked as the next Justin Biebar.
E) How is this protesting vapid shallow music if millions laugh at it 'cause it's so bad it's funny' but do jack **** to support the artistic alternative.
F) ****ing Hell... Do we need another Rick Roll?

How so? Her point was to simulate a pop star, and make lots of money. That's what she did. I'm not complimenting her for it, I'm just saying how it's pathetic that the Internet community who are solely responsible for elevating her really have the right to play superior.
It's like a stripper. Sure, she's demeaning herself when you throw your dollars out there, but she walks home with your money. Who is the idiot?

Humour is subjective, what gives you the right to tell us what is or is not funny?

Is it really that funny? To me, it just sounds like anything I'd hear in a hair salon, or mall elevator. No better, no worse, no different.

Well, all the girls from Ark sing dumb pop songs, but none of them is as nearly as popular as Rebecca Black. Why? They all want to be pop stars; they all want the same thing Rebecca Black wants. Why is she more popular than them? She isn't even prettier. The answer is - her song is ultra retarded and people laugh at things like that. Things like that amuse them. She is a retard for not foreseeing this kind of negative publicity after just a glimpse at the lyrics

Exactly my point. She's getting massive amounts of fame for simply being "retarded" in a sea of other "retarded" girls doing the exact same thing.
You ever been in the presence of a teenage girl? A lot of them are like that. A lot of them want to be that. They don't know what it is, but they want to be it. It's sad enough when her parents have enough money to buy her into it. It's worse that these studio sleazes are making money off it. However, worst of all, that the sarcastic Internet community somehow turns this into a massive phenomenon over the fact she's basically acting exactly the large common populous of airheads.
After all, she's only in it for validation. The attention alone is validating her. Doesn't make her a retard, makes the community that makes a big deal out of her ridiculous.
If somebody walked up to you as a teenage girl and said. "Hey, sing this moronic song, and you'll be big, and famous. You'll hit the billboard charts, and the world will talk about you"... and then you do it, then you actual acquire that attention for any reason, does it make you retarded?

It's funny because of the lyrics and the awkwardness of the video. Who cares whether she's popular or not? There's always bad stuff in the charts and i'd rather see Rebecca Black in there than some other stuff. N Dubz anyone?

As much as I hate this song, I can't stop watching the video on youtube.. and I actually find her kind of likeable, much more so than Ke$ha or Lady Gaga or whoever else she's been compared to in this thread.
Serious artist? not by a long shot. Something to keep the internet occupied for awhile and finally steer attention away from Charlie Sheen? Huge success.

it's such a snobbish elitist thing to do.

He came oh so close with "scream" and "me" though. Gotta give him that.

It's a music forum, there are elitists. I think you have awful taste, it's not only one band but also Linkin Park, Black Eyed Peas and a lot more crap. If you don't care then fine, I was just pointing out my opinion that you listen to horse****.

better that you don't listen to it, she's basically singing one note that is auto-tuned
and towards the end, out pops the pedo rapper who produced the song, who raps in rhymes that don't rhyme
