Rebecca Black is gone.

[intheweeds]

Good riddance.

Funny how she got the rights to it. She didn't even write the song.

Same way you get the rights to a logo or any other art you commission. She paid them to write it for her. She owns it. In this situation, she has lead vocal credit so even if Ark did still own it, they can't cut her out unless they commissioned her voice.

Thankfully now we can all listen to the "real" version of the song. Epic.

Are we really celebrating? It was a pretty hilarious meme. In their poorly aimed goal for stardom, they managed to fail as horribly as you possibly could, and still got famous for it. I thought we respected such terrible things in this day and age.

Do we celebrate George W. Bush and congratulate him for what he's done? Or any politician for that matter >.>

Oh look a guy got suspended on the first page for speaking sense.

GG Escapist mods.

OT: In the end the 13 year old girl put an end to the endless abuse she never deserved in the first place. How dare she have dreams and aspirations.

DO NOT question the higher authority. And also OT: that's the price of putting music or yourself out on a national stage in public eye. If your music is shit, you shouldn't be embarrassed when people call it shit. Ya some people will dislike it and you learn to ignore it, but when you bastardize an industry like she has then yes, all people have the right to ridicule that work of art. I know this all too well from personal experience playing college basketball.

You think that she's bastardised the music industry because her parents PAID MONEY to have a small production company record a music video then put it on youtube?

How does that have anything to do with the music industry? If a record company had released that song it would be at least part justified to be up-in-arms about it, but it's a 13 year old putting a song she wrote on youtube. A CHILD. The fact that the song is bad is irrelevant.

Now forgive me if I'm wrong for I'm not omnipotent as I like to think I am. I'm rather sure that the girl has little to no direction of the song and music video. If this was some homemade video then by all means I wouldn't mind it. But this just goes to show how our culture is bastardizing the music industry and young girls as well. The Olsen twins? Brittney Spears? Kei$ha? Lady GaGa?

 

[Gomi500]

Excellent! But I'm afraid it's not over my fellow escapists, another great evil (dare I say GREATER evil) still resides on youtube. The song I am talking about? My jeans...Which in my opinion is even worse and even more stupid.

Click if you dare...and judge for yourself which is worse.

Oh my God! Why!

 

[Gamer_152]

Well, there will be other sections of the internet which will make sure the video is preserved for prosperity, she never deserved any of the hate she got though. I fail to see why another human being producing a creative work you don't like is grounds for hating them and/or insulting them.

 

[HooterNanny]

It didn't really matter by this point anymore anyway. I mean, it's the cycle of the internet. Things get really popular, negatively or positively (although more of then than not negatively), then they fade away, and people make occassional jokes about it, and then everyone forgets, and another thing comes along, gets popular, etc.

George Bush was a public servant who was meant to govern. That's quite a bit different than a harmless web sensation who became popular because she was terrible. This is the same deal as Best Worst Movie. Nobody without a strong sense of irony would make a film titled Best Worst President.

 

[DeathChairOfHell]

Well, not surprising. It was the most disliked video on Youtube, even beating "Baby" by Justin Bieber. And commenting had been disabled because so many people wrote threats and insults. Good Riddance!

 

[HereForFreeFood]

She will be missed.

 

[omega 616]

This seems to be the perfect thread for it, who the hell is this woman?

Seriously, I have read that name in loads of places but I always forget to search her and my net is being insanely slow today, it's like a stampede of turtles charging up a hill, which is covered in peanut butter with a bag of sugar on it's back.

(btw, loving the new captchas, I can actually read them!)

 

[CarlMin]

What? Why? =/

Well, good thing I downloaded her song on iTunes!

 

[Baradiel]

Well, good thing I downloaded her song on iTunes!

You realise you are now going to hell, right?

Terrifying video. The eyes keep me awake at night...

 

[Ashcrexl]

shit, what will i listen to every friday now? so sad

nah, but really, it was a fun kind of terrible, not the type of terrible you hate, but the type of terrible you laugh at when you're in a bad mood and need cheering up and the world is considerably dimmer in its absence.

 

[likalaruku]

Who's Rebecca Black?

That is all I have to say on this matter.
(P.S. she'd better fucking not release another single)

Too late jefe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz8EVnOxOyM

 

[Bryan Jue]

She's in that new Katy Perry video, so, she won't be forgotten.

This. I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned it. Though, I guess that just goes to show that they either didn't see the Katy Perry vid, or didn't know she was in it, or just don't care... which is definitely possible.

 

[Vault101]

I feel sorry for her

she will forever go down in history and the woman who made the worst song....EVER

 

[C.Flat]

I feel bad for Black, a teenager whose only bit of fame will be that she created what many call the worst song. At least she could acknowledge the fact, until she finally removed it.

She didn't write the song

 

[Orange643]

This is such old news, it was removed like yesterday. Get with the program maaannnn

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

Too little too late. She'll always be the chick that did Friday.

Pretty much. The damage is done already. *grumble*
