Top 100 moments in Rebecca Black's "Friday" music video

guys i still have this stuck in my head

worse than even that, i think i'm beginning to like it.

i like how the lyrics expose the inherent mundanity of stream-of-consciousness, it's like...the brain in repose

Interview them all for a Guardian piece, Lex.

i am pretty sure i like it

fun

I'm pretty impressed that she craves a "bowl" before even having breakfast, that is hardcore

Wait why's she still asking which seat to take once she's already in the damn back seat cruisin down the green-screen way?

You'll all be surprised when this places #1 on the 2011 EOY poll.

xpost

well she got stuck with back middle which sucks, shoulda called shotgun

46. how her singing is so monotonous and staccato that it sounds like someone typing morse code with a telegraph machine

47. the fucking seizure-inducing mirror image of herself during WE SO SO SO EXCITED. it's like her molecules are reaching escape velocity and peeling off into a mirror version of herself which will go on to star in "Saturday"

do you think she eats cereal on Saturday, too?

in the entire breakfast section she doesn't blink once, just the fixed stare and a monotone about cereal. capturing the true essence of all our mornings.

tbh - i drink coffee in the morning and blink a lot.

cant wait for her ep of super sweet sixteen

the girl in the jeans video is better, i think.

48. How her smile gets even smilier when she sings "I see my friends!"

THERE IS ONLY ONE FREE SEAT

GOD

yeah the jeans video one is so hamming it up and like into it, this girl just seems like she was going w/ it. idk arent spoiled rich thirteen yr olds all supposed to be doing coke and having sex parties in their parents summer house or something? when i was that age nobody would have been lame enough to think this fake hanna montana shit was a vaguely acceptable thing to do but maybe thats just bc my friends were all awesome and cool

she just reminds me of the kind of girl that would audition for a community theater play and sing "A Little Fall of Rain" from Les Miz, but would get confused and kinda break down when the accompanist plays the song in a different key from the one she practiced in.

^

the jeans video girl would totally get a part in any community theater production of Annie.

there was an mtv show that basically did exactly this btw

omg the jeans video

HA HA HA JACK MY SWAG

okay wait no it didnt but it had a similar element of vanity and pointlessness

p impressed at this girls mastering of the dance move that me and my sister once spent like an hour trying to figure out and couldnt

lol "enhanced cd"

unless these guys aren't just rich-parent-hustlers but creepy pedos (that one "5 days with CJ Fam" video has the camera following CJ and her little friend into an abandoned shed in the woods for some reason), they should totally exploit this net buzz for their own MTV series.

also holy shit no one's posted the CJ Fam video yet

It's about a small child who could maybe get a callback for Annie on Broadway wrestling with the price of fame

"I'm not a diva, I'm sooo real and sooo down to earth."

crepeing all the way to the bank

Its like a professional version of those insta-studios you can go to, karaoke it up in front of a greenscreen and then burn it to CD.

I was at a recording studio that gets a lot of big-paycheck clients, big place with multiple studios, and while we were there in like the C studio over in D was the daughter of a guy who owns this massive company whose products I have enjoyed since I was a child. They had 1) hired some of the people who write hits for Britney etc and 2) hired a vocal coach and 3) hired musicians to a) write a record for their daughter b) teach her to sing it and c) track it, at full studio rates. they were there for a week working all day on something that will never see the light of day, just indulging their idea that enough money & successful people could make their daughter a pop diva.

I'm pretty impressed that she craves a "bowl" before even having breakfast, that is hardcore

this made me lol really hard

lmao otm

lol cj fams producers flamboyant displays of weve got a hit on our hands

hey were there for a week working all day on something that will never see the light of day, just indulging their idea that enough money & successful people could make their daughter a pop diva.

Have you heard the tapes?!

Let me explain to him in simple arithmetic. One, two three! Because you don't fuckin' get it, Burt! You give us the tapes. We get the record contract. We come back and give you your fuckin' money. Have you heard the tapes? Have you even heard them? We're guaranteed a record deal. Our stuff is that good!

For serious it is interesting how the Ark model is different from the old vanity stuff. You have autotune, which makes it really easy to make a talentless singer sound catchy and tuneful, and you have youtube, which makes the distribution costs nothing. So you can record high production value vanity shit for people, charge them a lot of money, and then put it out there easily, and if it takes off, more money for you, if not, no big deal.

also holy shit no one's posted the CJ Fam video yet

this is fucking bonechilling

Holy shit that CJ Fam one is creepy as fuck! Whats with the two producer dudes and their leery smiles and nods? *&^^$

Also she totally looks like the kind of indulged fat brat who does precisely this kind of thing (or beauty contests) at the behest of pushy parents. UGH.

cj fam is deeply pomo

oh man, the CJ Fame "behind the scenes with ark entertainment" vid I referred to has been made private.

Fam, I mean. I guess only exclusive members of the Ark Ent family get to know about the shed, now.

CJ's comments are still loaded with obvious plants going "fantastic voice!".

The faux-naivety ITT is like you guys have never seen "Tardy For The Party" or anything.

i have never seen 'tardy for the party' or anything

i saw something

but i couldnt make out what it was

some people here have probably not even heard Alana Lee's "Butterflies", and that makes me sad b/c it is a much better song than "Friday":
