So certain it was a (solid) parody that I was ready to mock people who fell for it, but after reading about the guys behind it I'm stunned. Still, I'm sure someone is taking the piss at some level, even if they do it in a cynical money-grabbing way.

19. The rapper's smugface at 3:25
I'm surprised it took so long for a business like this to spring up. When people are dropping $300k on a party or $150k on a car for their little cherubs, getting them to fork out a few grand for a music video seems like a potentially profitable venture. Ultimately, it's just an updated, super-rich, version of the customised books you got when you were ten that had your name / photo in the story.
Of course, you could argue that a few of the legit pop stars around at the moment didn't have a particularly different route to fame.

Yeah, kinda struggling to find a meaningful, useful difference between these and, e.g., Ke$ha, who is equally as retarded and equally manufactured but doesn't have the excuse of age or ambitious stage parents. It's razor-thin line between "Wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy" and "Hannah Montana is wearing my jeans."

24. the first few comments (pre-"fame") on the video from users that COINCIDENTALLY joined youtube the same day this video was posted, including:
"Song is fun, very upbeat and age appropriate. Catchy tune. Singer has a powerful voice with great range. Harmonies show off her ability. She demonstrates great confidence."
"I like this video and this song! Hey, who doesn't look forward to Friday and the weekend? These kids have it right. And she can hit some diva notes!"

Maybe this is a stretch, but this whole idea seems like an outgrowth of the fact that the rich in the U.S. have gotten so much richer. The top 1% has more money than they know what to do with so they pay $50k or whatever something like this costs to have their kids be pop stars. Within a day or two this will have a million views. Crazy times.

I just can’t tell if this is serious or not. If you look at all the other videos uploaded by www.youtube.com/trizzy66, they are all music videos for serious songs that are trying to promote young artists who are supposedly part of “Ark Music Group.” They even have an official website, www.arkmusicgroup.com
I am just really confused. If it supposed to be funny and a parody video of a Top 40 songs, it is funny. If it is supposed to be a real song and a video working to promote a young artist as the website claims to do, it is terrible. Either way, Rebecca Black is blowin’ up the internet. However, how will this effect the legitimacy of the other “artists” Ark Music Group supposedly represents? What happens to those people now? Are they part of a comedy website, or a musical promotions site? Or…can it be both?
