Alright. Time for my "review" for this "song". Personally, I find this to be worse than Friday. I get that this is stupid generic pop shit, but couldn't she at least generate a new idea other than "Haha, Friday was bad so here's a parody of it! Woo hoo more monies 2 me." Like, holy crap. What's wrong with actually making something deep and meaningful? How can people say this is creative? When did shit like this become acceptable in our culture? How the actual flying monkey fuck does this have 8 million views? Who are these people who like this? Why do we still care about something so tasteless and dumb?!

It bothers me how much of a shit-storm is conjured everytime Rebecca makes a song, especially for her last few songs before this one, which were amazing.

 

I like this song, more out of pity for her having to deal with all the condescending hate because of Friday (which, btw, was all ARK Music Factory's doing, not her's.) She has an amazing voice, and she's as innocent as a home-trained lab.

[/quote] Pardon? Rebecca Black is just another insipid pop diva, there's nothing amazing about her music. Whether it not she deserves to be denigrated as a person for her songs' shortcomings is a different argument altogether.

Well, what do you like about it?

 

I'm not gonna attack you for your opinion, I'm just curious about what you think.

 

It's catchy. That pretty much sums up my taste in music: If it's catchy, I like it. In most cases, if I listen to a song and hate it, I eventually start wanting to listen to it again just to get it out of my head, then the more I listen to it, the more it warms up to me.

 

In this case, however, Rebecca Black just became a guilty pleasure of mine (along with a handful of other "sh*tty" artists). While everyone hated Friday because it was just all-around BAD, I ended up going back to it occasionally and liking it. It just became my fix, and when ARK Music Factory started releasing more music videos, it became much less and less terrible and I ended up hating ARK and loving Rebecca out of pity. Everything she released afterwards just sounded amazing to me as a result.

 

Also, I'm a heavy metal addict (death, black, and doom metal), which can get very deep and make me emotional. Music like Rebecca Black and others are very good refreshers.

I've never viewed her as a musician. She's a YouTuber vlogger, part of that large vaguely LA-based YouTube community. If you do see it like that (which, to be honest, you should; her full-time job is general content creating, not music), then I'd say it's a success overall.

It's certainly a better song than Friday either way (although there's no reason to take this from a 100% serious musical perspective). Better production, better vocals. Besides, it's hard to resist a bit of shameless self-parody.

If she had released this as a parody comedy sketch of Friday, I'm sure no-one would have any issues.

I personally don't really like this song, BUT I have a lot of respect for it.

One of my close friends said something really good so I'll just quote him on this "This video says a lot; yea, generic pop song about a party, but you know what's not in this song? Any kind of "Get our drank on", "shake that thang", or straight up dumb slut/douchebag lyrics on the radio. Radio pop music has been totally porn-ified and this is just a video with kids having a party, not even getting that ridiculous. Rebecca's not even dressed like a whore, who'd'a thought a female pop singer could do that in 2013? The only girl dancing provocatively is a girl parodying Miley Cyrus, and there's even a scantily dressed dude somewhere in there afterwards." 

 

Honestly I could not agree with him more, especially in the type of culture we live in today. It's really hard to see any music videos without drugs and sex in them. 

You go Rebecca Black! Keep making those sarcastic references to "Friday" while being a queen.

This song wasn't that bad to me. I actually liked how it was self-aware and considering her positive attitude in the face of the vast amounts of hatred she had to face from Friday, I gotta respect her comeback.

 

All that said, it's not music I'd care for, but I dig the spirit behind it and also for the reasons Rapid's friend noticed that alluded me until now.
