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

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

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

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.

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":

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xHfRUW99aI

That video has been posted 3 or 4 times already.

tru, but some people here have probably not even heard it.

Or anything.

Fried egg, fried egg

Ive been going around singing "fried egg" since last night much to N's bemusement.

recently i have started interpreting the "which seat can i take?" as a direct question to the audience, asked the same way dora the explorer and the guy from blues clues ask their viewers where the tree/clue/whatever is

this entire thing is super creepy to me

did lol @ those lex posts ice craem reposted tho

"Fried egg, fried egg" reminds me of this:

Lex's analysis has made me realise that this song corresponds exactly to the picture of Kafka Judith Butler put forward the other week:

precisely because of this apparently objective and rigorous mode of writing, a certain horror opens up in the midst of the quotidian, perhaps also an unspeakable grief

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":

no it's also terrible just less memorably so

In 15 minutes, everyone will be famous.

no it's also terrible just less memorably so

says the man who provided the terribly memorable soundtrack to the terribly memorable moment in Armageddon where Ben Affleck makes animal crackers stampede across Liv Tyler's half-naked body.

(/cheap shot)

In 15 minutes, everyone will be famous.
