Untalented white girls need an untalented role model they can identify with. Because some white girls are too scared to dress like Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.

"And unbeknownst to parents, in the the underground L.A. dupstep party circuit, anytime you repeat the word "fun" more than twice, the third "fun" refers to a line of coke and the fourth requests an eight ball."

Puts "Gang Fight" in a new light.

"it's actually less ottertune that we use"

did "Friday" break youtube? it's definitely the most viewed video of the week and month, and right now it's the 119th most viewed video (& 75th most viewed music video) of all time. yet it doesn't appear on any of youtube's charts. suspicious?

i've noticed this as well. fuckin youtube conspiracies

nah. more like a shameless ripoff of the Waitresses' "I know what boys like."

youtube hides a lot of highly viewed videos from the most viewed lists, especially ones that are semi-porny.

a few months ago Billboard started a 'Social 50' chart in an attempt to measure which artists are generating the most activity on YouTube, social networking sites, etc (like, Gaga and Bieber typically top the chart). Rebecca Black just crashed the chart at #9: http://www.billboard.com/#/charts/social-50

everyone wants to know, who are you?

that's a very good question.

"And unbeknownst to parents, in the the underground L.A. dupstep party circuit, anytime you repeat the word "fun" more than twice, the third "fun" refers to a line of coke and the fourth requests an eight ball."

"And she'll have Fun fun fun till her daddy takes the 8-ball away..."

so he's eastern european? i knew the lyrics sounded like ESL.

He's South African.

we're both right. he was born in south africa and moved to eastern europe at age 17.

As the Lone Groover used to say, "ah, but who wrote the Cliches?"

Bad idea, Ark.

They just removed the original video from youtube and closed that account.

I assume they're upgrading or something, but that was a piece of internet history!

I mean, unless they worked out a deal with youtube to transfer viewership stats over to the video whenever it gets reposted, I feel like one of Ark's greatest achievements has just been vaporized. We'll never know how many views the original video would've gotten.

Plus, thousands of youtube links/embeds just went dead and useless.

Fuck you, Ark.

Won't someone please think of the embeds?!

is this over yet

haha shakey

best part is 0:45-0:50. love the awkwardness

removed what video? I don't get it.

Well it's back now. hm

An hour ago, it said the video had been deleted by the user (trizzy66) and the user's account was inactive.

shady dealings, it sounds like.

did anyone mention that "Friday" debuted at #72 on the real Billboard Hot 100 this week? last week it placed on Billboard's digital chart, but it didn't seem real back then, it seemed like a dream.

also sometime tonight it beat "Chocolate Rain"s view count. a part of me wants to cheer her on, but another part of me feels so bad for Tay Zonday. in the modern era, I bet he would've ripped that shit up on the pop charts.

I think youtube is just having issues atm. My subscriptions page is down, most videos say that "safety mode" is hiding the comments etc.

Meantime:

Raised in Africa by a minister mother and a chemical engineer father, Wilson sang in his mother's church as a child and helped out with youth programs at the local Christian school. Later, he says, he attended medical school in Europe and trained in track and field events for the 2000 Olympics. But he dropped it all in pursuit of his music, an endeavor that would lead him to tour as a backup singer with Eastern European pop star Ibrahim Maiga, to study the business side of entertainment at Whitman College in Walla Walla, and, finally, to come to Hollywood.

“If you're going to try to make a dream in music happen, Los Angeles is where you need to be,” he says. “If your music is heard in America, it will be heard everywhere.”

yup. i thought it would be a one-week wonder chart-wise, but actually the song is likely to go even higher on the hot 100 this week. the song made another rapid ascent up the itunes sales charts this past friday and actually peaked higher than it had the previous week. i'm not sure whether the surge in sales had more to do with the recent tv promotion (jay leno and such) or simply the fact that it was friday, lol

It's at #62 on the UK chart at the moment.

Wake me when Gang Fight cracks the charts

Only played it twice so far, but I'm finding "Friday" pretty catchy in an annoying sort of way. I'll definitely give it a third listen, at least, and maybe more depending how my opinion evolves.

(And yeah, I like "Gang Fight" better too.)

Forward into the future!
