She found her way into the ears and hearts of millions around the world with her surprise viral hit ‘Friday,’ and now Rebecca Black is mingling with music’s best at the Grammy Awards. She was spotted on the red carpet in a black dress and sporting red shoes, but the question on most of our minds is, “Why is she there?”
February 10, 2012 It's been a year today since Rebecca Black's “Friday” first hit the internet. Even a year later, it's still one of the worse songs you'll ever hear. It's the kind of song if you hear it once, it'll be stuck in your head for days.
As 2011 comes to a close, Google Zeitgeist presents a video retrospective of the most-searched topics that made the year memorable.
Rebecca Black‘s ‘Friday’ was one of the biggest viral videos of 2011, and just when you though the song was dead, buried and gone from our collective consciousness, it’s getting a shot in the arm and dragged back to the forefront of pop culture in time for the holidays.
As reported by The FW, the song has been reworked for a Kohl’s Black Friday ad, with a zealous shopper (who has a little crazy in her eyes) singing about having to get to Kohl’s on Black Friday, Black Friday, Black Friday.
Benni Cinkle didn’t want to go through life just being known as the pink-shirted girl dancing awkwardly in Rebecca Black‘s viral music video ‘Friday.’ So Cinkle has made her own video, and one with a socially conscious message: It addresses teen issues like eating disorders and cutting.
While Cinkle’s single ‘Can You See Me Now’ won’t be tearing up the charts anytime soon, it’s not nearly as bad as ‘Friday.’ Check it out below.
Pop diva Katy Perry had a surprise for those attending her Nokia Theater concert in LA last week: a duet with special guest Rebecca Black. It was a Friday night, of course.
July 18, 2011 Oh help us all, Rebecca Black has released her second single and video, ‘My Moment,’ and while we doubt it’ll be as horrible as her debut single ‘Friday’ was earlier this year, the song and accompanying clip should get the kids and online hawks chattering.
March 24, 2011 Rebecca Black is apparently turning what some are calling the "worst song ever" into huge profits.
Forbes writer Chris Barth recently took a look at the digital sales and video streams for her now infamous (but admittedly catchy) song 'Friday.' Thus far, the video has over 30 million streams on YouTube, which has apparently translated into an estimated $20,000 -- a big profit, considering Black's mother paid Ark Music Factory a little over $2,000 for two songs and the 'Friday' video.
March 14, 2011 Everyone is saying that this video & song is so bad, but, I think it's good (in a teen pop way). I want to play it during the Friday morning fun hour this week, pending management approval.
The web is obsessed with Rebecca Black, an unknown pop star who shot to fame with "Friday".
In the song, Rebecca is somewhat poetic about anticipation for the weekend and driving around with her girlfriends, singing,
Kickin’ in the front seat/Sittin’ in the backseat/Gotta make my mind up/Which seat can I take?
Is Black just a sweet girl trying to make it in pop music or a clever kid trolling the music industry? Says PopCrush:
According to…Bohemian.com, the Los Angeles-based Ark Music Factory was hired to write ‘Friday’ and produce a paired video starring Black. No word on how much it cost, or what the therapy bills are going to be if the kid gets wind of what’s being said about her online.
Nevertheless I think she has potential. check out the video
