Question, if I may. I know very little of this girl other than the rampant criticism (which is most certainly deserved, by the way). The first song was disposable Auto Tune pop, and I'm assuming by the comments that this second one is as well (I have no intention of listening to it).
Something that came to mind as I was reading this thread was the thought that maybe it isn't just another teen girl attempting to gain her 15 minutes of attention. Is it possible the whole thing is just a goof? A sort of Performance Art in the vein of Andy Kaufman or Joaquin Phoenix?
It's not that big of a stretch to ponder it. She comes up with lyrics that are so moronic that they almost beg people to call her on the gag, then it very quickly goes viral because it's so bad, she then feigns outrage over her mistreatment (more attention) - and then immediately releases a second disposable tune. The lyrics and stupidity of that first song border on SNL skit. It can't be real.
I'm calling Performance Art on the whole act.
Everyone could be a Troll, too, but I don't think she has to be.

In Germany, we've got a RIDICULOUSLY bad wannabe rapper named "Money Boy", he's got a cult following by now for being so bad he's good, and now gigs around Germany, thanks to the success on the internet (I think).
He's 100 times more ridiculous than Rebecca Black could ever aspire to be, in music, videos AND interviews. It's hard to describe... it's as if a 10 year old had watched one too many commercial gangsta rap videos and tried to imitate them.
And from the looks of it, he seems to be completely serious / unaware.
If you think that's impossible, look up Florence Foster Jenkins.
