What do you mean? She's waited 2 months for this!

Fixed.

I refuse to listen to anything by Rebecca Black. I'm sick and tired of shitty Generation Stupid "musicians" becoming famous for fucking nothing. If I listen to any of her songs even once, it would be like shooting a malignant tumour full of steroids.

I refuse to do anything that will allow this talentless brat to "grow".

^ Really tempted to put in sig.

Small point of order, but certain steroids, notably Prednisone, are useful in cancer treatment for their ability to shrink tumors.

I don't get the hate.

Sure it 'sucks' on the level that it's an uninspired pop ditty sung by someone with no great talent. What I don't get is how it's somehow worse than the 10,000 other songs over the years that fit that description?

Is the hate somehow that this girl dares to break away from the system of how pop musicians are supposed to make it to the limelight? Because Ms. Black's rise to pseudo-popularity doesn't involve nepotism, extreme luck, corporate backing, and age-inappropriate sex-appeal, is she really worthy of all this hate. Why are people mad that her path to success isn't based on talent, when most pop-musicians's aren't.

And how many pop songs are based on the someone cloying wish-fulfilment premise "I'm not gonna give up, I'm special!" At least 80%. The fact that this girl actually isn't that talented and now has this celebrity is exactly the appeal.

This is why I love TheBoost.

The hate has nothing to do with this song and everything to do with Friday.

 

Fair enough, but even "Friday" isn't that much more banal and/or uninspired than this tune.

I waited two months for this... and it is amazing. I can't wait until her album comes out!

Actually, I haven't listened to this song, nor do I care to.

If even one of these "memes" makes it out of this community, I'll consider myself happy soul.

Anyway...

"Friday" has the advantage of being EXTREMELY banal to the point of parody, and also has Ms. Black singing with a fake, cheesy grin at the camera.
It's annoying to a ridiculous degree.

Also, I don't think that any of the commercial pop stars actally became famous... by people who didn't like their work. People weren't paying money to buy their CDs and tickets so they could bash them, they were fans.
The vast majority of the people who made the video(s) popular... didn't like it. It's received negatively by the vast majority, except for Simon Cowell, who's just lots all respect I might've had for him.

Also she evidently can't sing well (as seen from her live performance in some room), and I think most of the famous pop sing...resses, can at least give off a clean performance while doing some challenging choreography etc. (not sure, though).
It's the same as with Justin Bieber who just SUCKS live (listen to "eneh-meneh-my-lova" or whatever that crap is called... certainly not playback!).

extreme luck, corporate backing, and age-inappropriate sex-appeal

Well, extreme luck she had, as lots of better amateur singers on youtube go unnoticed. She does have some "sex-appeal" in the video, although I don't think it's age-inappropriate.


But hey, you know... instead of contemplating why all the other horrendous pop artists don't get 100 parodies, let's rejoice that at least this one gets its share :D

They won't. They're only funny in their given context. They wouldn't make sense to anyone else.

Sex appeal is in the eye of the beholder... I am curious as to what you mean by "sex appeal".

I'd say she attempts that, but her obnoxious fake grin and the make-up overdose kinda nullify it.
But yea, she's all "party party" there, especially in the second half, so there's a bit of that. Nothing outrageous even by moral guardians' standards.


(Yea, I was kinda kidding with the catchphrases; I've seen better things - from Chimaera and all - never catch on :( )

Not to mention that we are laughing at Tommy, not with him, so I have no idea why it would make him happy.  Except that he's Tommy, so it makes perfect sense.

TOMMAH!!!
