Best review I read about this song: "I would rather listen to gunshots coming from my childerens bedroom than hear another Rebecca Black song".

Late edit: Apparently the majority of views are people like us making fun of it :P Not because people dig it.. though Simon Cowell does and she's killing it on iTunes with this song too.

this is like the perfect impulse buy. the combo that is a crap song like this and itunes allows people to watch the video, laugh and make fun of it, and for a mere $0.99, buy the song instantly to keep the joke going a little longer.

'why not, it's only 99 cents' x however many hundreds of thousands = more cash any of us will ever see.

up to 21.7M views.
that's 5.9M views in 23 hours.

that was an excruciating 10 seconds as well...I kinda wanna punch myself for even playing that

Six66Mike - 3-19-2011 at 09:22 PM

I wanna find out how YouTube calculates a view. Is it when the page is loaded, when the video reaches that little yellow line, when the video is fully buffered?

BDx13 - 3-19-2011 at 09:37 PM

they're quite crafty about it.

just read that this girl is only 13 and that her parents paid some kind of video-making factory of a company to put the vid together. hope she's dealing with the negative reaction ok. i mean, yeah, it's bad, but this isn't some spoiled, thick-skinned, child starlet - she's just some kid.

That's pretty much what the Daily Mail link I posted above said :P She has been getting threats and all sorts of shit.

BDx13 - 3-20-2011 at 09:09 AM

you know, i read that article, but somehow only picked up the simon cowell bit.

wesxedge - 3-20-2011 at 07:04 PM

Yeah, it's sorta unfortunate that she is being singled out, while other artists produce horrible music on a norm. She is 13, what sorta music was the public expecting? I wonder if she even wrote the lyrics for this song to begin with.

Six66Mike - 3-21-2011 at 08:15 AM

Much like I'm On A Boat, this song has fallen victim to a death metal cover.

Six66Mike - 3-22-2011 at 03:52 AM

Heavy metal cover version - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUMRa5vWIAk

If you want to prolongue your misery, here's a 15 minute version slowed down 5x - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1M5Q3onsX4

Death metal version still clearly leading the pack.

Six66Mike - 3-25-2011 at 08:17 AM

Sorry I have to bump again because

1) it's Friday
2) the death metal one has 1.7 million views now

teh death metal version fucking rules

ShawnRefuse - 3-25-2011 at 10:48 AM

thank fucking god it really is Friday. this week has been nothing but shit.

clevohardcore - 3-25-2011 at 02:53 PM

I saw her on LENO the other night and she seems like a airhead. It was almost painful to watch because she really is a inncent 13 year old. Not a thing mean or sneaky about her. She even said she cried a bit because of the negative reviews, but that her song is a positive message and that makes her happy. I immdeiately regretted posting a few negative posts abou tit on youtube, but the thread was moving so damn quickly I had to get in on it. As soon as you posted it was already off the page.

This is a hugely awesome bump, Stephen Colbert doing it on Fallon. Drummer with a fucking awesome afro too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU1v_XKgEPc

And this version is kinda shit but it's funny what a lip reader would think of the lyrics.

BDx13 - 4-2-2011 at 10:34 AM

ok, that video was actually pretty funny. except at the end, when they went snl with all those wacky characters on stage.


best thing to come of this song is the $70k raised by colbert and fallon for donorschoose. check out the 180 projects that have been funded so far, benefitting over 16,000 students: http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/viewChallenge.html?id=170...

Fallons house band is The Roots I believe. They are one of the only slim few hip hop groups worth listening to. That drummer is awesome too!
