I feel sorry for this girl. She just wants to be a star and is black listed before her first album hits. It's kinda her fault though for throwing out a song with the most ridiculas lyrics ever made.


Don't.  She's literally making millions off of this video.  I feel jealous, since my singing is just as bad and I'm getting nothing out of it. :-/


How's she doin that?

Theoretically she should recieve some money from the song's sales.

BUT...

Commercial performance

By March 21, 2011, the "Friday" music video had been viewed more than 30 million times on YouTube.[52] ForbesiTunes Store sales, and $20,000 more from YouTube's revenue-sharing program.[53] However, the iTunes Store sales estimate was shown to be incorrect, with originally estimated that as of that date, Black and Ark Music had received "easily" more than $1 million from Billboard estimating sales of approximately 43,000 copies, roughly equivalent to $26,700 in royalties.[54] "Friday" debuted on the New Zealand Singles Chart at number 33 on March 21, 2011.[55] The song entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 72 and rose to 58 the next week.[56] It has sold 87,000 copies over the two weeks.[56]

"Friday" received its first UK radio airplay on March 15 on Nerve Radio.[57] The song has also received airplay in Sweden.[58] In the United States, it was played 12 times from March 16 to March 22, considered low for a Hot 100[59] song.

Despite the song's strong performance, Georgina Kelly has claimed that her daughter has not received any money from the song's sales, saying "We haven't received a dime from anywhere."

Yeah, i was going to say... considering real artists get screwed on song sales, i'd think people who have to pay to get "deals" weren't likely to see much if any money.'

Those Ark Music factory guys must be laughing themselves to the bank after there genius plan to bilk the parents of rich white girl struck it way bigger then they likely ever thought possible.

Since it's highly unlikely I'll succeed in the field of PR (which I'm currently majoring in), unless I luck out like you and become a househusband, I could try to start my own music studio, making stupid tallentless rich girls' dreams come true.

It's a disgrace that this little girl put to shame one of the best classics in history. Bob Dylan is surely dissapointed.

O_o

Justin Bieber???!!!


Rebecca Black.

Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black are some of the best classics in history???

I don't know if you are aware that Friday was a hit song by Bob Dylan back then in the 60's...

I hope it's a different song though. I expect better lyrics fom him.

Listen before you judge. Never judge the quality of an original based on an auto-tuned pop cover.

Same crappy lyrics? I'm the whole rattle down the days of the week is really what kills this song.

Err, that was a fake Bob Dylan song someone recorded after hers appeared. Don't know if Bob Dylan really has a song called Friday or not, but that wasn't it.

"Fake Bob Dylan song", indeed.

Go to YouTube and tell all of those commenters that the brilliant song that changed their lives several decades ago is fake and that the "genuine" version is some creepy auto-tuned garbage with rap thrown in.

I remember that day clearly. It was 1974, and I was suicidal, standing on top of a building. Then Bob Dylan appeared behind me, and told me to decide whether I wanted to kick in the front seat (i.e. jump), or sit in the back seat until things improved. He reminded me that we would all be partying partying and having fun fun fun fun on Friday, which was the day after Thursday, and before Saturday and Sunday, and that if I didn't want the weekend to end, it never would. That song saved my life.

This version is depressing. At least Rebecca Balc's version is funny (unintentionally, but still).
