Lightbulb Rebecca Black's Friday Available For Rent. Anyone interested?!


Teenage pop sensation Rebecca Black has reached new levels for popularity with her song Friday, when it was made available for rent on YouTube for a mere $2.99. With 165 million views (and counting) on YouTube the fame she has brought upon herself is undeniable. [Source]

If you are curious about the video, here it is.

Haha.

Jokes apart, I see a disturbing trend in musical sensibilities in today's youth. What happened to all the music? When you could feel the melody, and appreciate the talent behind the music. Nowadays, all you need is a good soundkit, and successful branding to get recognized.

The lyrics made me puke
I was forced to hit dislike. I felt the pain that 300000+ others did. Damn! TGIF should sue her for making fridays so unpopular

The modern trend:
1. Pick out worst singers from youtube.
2. Make them famous with thousand of views.
3. When they get to a peak point of being famous, start trolling.
4. Which then turns into a meme.
5. 2++
6. 4++

Examples? They're right in front of you.

However, sometimes these performers are so bad that they actually turn out to be funny!! The first time my friend showed me Friday, I actually thought it was a parody of something better. Only after a couple of Google searches did I realize that this was in fact the original song!

I don't think any other over-rated video can beat 165million+ views!!

I read somewhere that many of those comments had people saying things like,"I hope you slit your wrist and die" and "I hope you kill yourself" and stuff like that.
.
I wonder if she's still alive. Oh well.
Besides, you cant ask more than that when your idol and inspiration is none other than teen pop sensation... Justin Beiber.

Don't know if I liked that song from the beginning, and that's why watched it many times, OR if I watched it so many times, that I started liking it!

She's alive and kicking! Reportedly, she isn't affected with the dis-likeness of the song. Real mature of her!

The video is available at the YouTube Rental service, which has been launched sometime ago. Through this service, you will have to pay a certain amount prescribed by the owner of the video, and only then can you watch the video.

Note: In a new development, YouTube is not actually putting Friday on rent, because apparently, they finally realized that no one is willing to pay to watch that video!! :-P
