I don't want this weekend to end.

I'm sure everybody's hear of Rebecca Black by now. When I first saw her trending on Twitter, I thought that she was some up and coming indie artist. Someone similar to Adele, or Sarah Bareilles. But she isn't. She's just some kid with dreams of making it big.

Kinda like Justin Bieber. But bad. She only has one song out right now, as far as I know. It's called Friday. It's a good idea, executed in the worst way possible. If she had pulled it off, we could have another anthem in our hands. She epic failed. The lyrics are off, and the video makes it worse.


"Kickin' in the back seat. Chillin' in the front seat. Gotta make up my mind. Which seat can I take?"

"Yesterday was Thursday. Today i-is Friday."

"Tomorrow is Saturday. And Sunday comes after...wards!"

And that video! Holy shit. Teenagers are...driving cars and partying? Is that what's really going on? What a scary thought. In the video, when they show Rebecca Black dancing at the back of the car, I always watch the girl to her right, because she's damn awkward, it's hilarious.

But you have to give her props. What's she's done is something most people won't dare to do. I'm sure she's not a horrible person. What I criticize is the song and the video. From the bottom of my heart, I truly wish her success in her future endeavors. She's still young, who knows how things will unfold?

This video was produced by this company called ARK Music Factory. Basically, what they do is they help people produce their songs and music videos. You pay them, and they'll help you develop whatever song/music video idea you have. It's quite cool, actually. And I visited their channel on YouTube, and found that they actually have videos which are far better than Black's Friday.

Like this little gem by Alane Lee, called Butterflies! It's autotuned to hell, but it's catchy and the girl's quite pretty and the lyrics are touching. Check her out! Wait, not in the perverted way.
