this is like a megaexpensive version of that scam where people come up to you on the street and are like "you should be a model! heres my business card!" and then if you call back they try to charge you $50 for a photoshoot and pretend to be your agent― max, Thursday, March 17, 2011 12:47 PM (1 minute ago)
I knew this obnoxious guy who not only went for this but then started telling all his friends that he was a model.

For now, at least, she is scheduled to do only limited media—granting interviews soon to both Good Morning America and On-Air With Ryan Seacrest. And Black’s plan going forward is to record an acoustic version of “Friday” to showcase her vocal range in a non-Auto-Tune environment.“I want to show people there’s more to me than they think,” said Black.
“I want to show people there’s more to me than they think,” said Black.
you know, an acoustic version of a monotone trainwreck usually results in an acoustic monotone trainwreck
although I get dibs on calling her "her generation's Sade" when this comes out

i think you're confusing the casting fee with the production costs.

it's solely because of the haircut and the fact that he's smirking
for most white ppl, "smirking black man with short fade" = "THAT MUST BE USHER"
also with the whole Bieber thing ppl are predisposed to make "Usher likes to hang around young kids" jokes, it's like dude saw a particular spin on the MJ void and decided to strike while the iron was hitting puberty

I'm actually rooting for her success now.
For me, it's always been both fun and ridiculous. I was never on-board with all the "worst song/video ever" talk, because if I find it amusing enough, then it's not exactly bad. But I do think that once the song was officially released as a single, then it became something worth rooting for, rather than just an Internet curio.

he also made a private video that was put online without his permission, not a flashy music video that was made public with his total consent ... not really a great comparison overall

That's my place on it too. I've seen/heard plenty worse than this, but where I first got a kick out of making fun of it, I eventually began to appreciate its unifying silliness. xp to jaymc
I still think ARK are some creepers, though.

Is Rebecca Black? I'm guessing that when you sign up to something like this the paperwork signs most of the profits to ARK, but...
Anyway I guess I'm rooting for her because my name is Rebecca, I found being 13 pretty traumatic, and she looks as blankly nervous and confused by the concept of "partying" as I was back then. (Ah, projection.)

I just came to the harrowing realization that Rebecca Black, at age 13, has not ever known a world where Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake aren't famous. Not that it means much, but "Oops! I Did it Again" to her is like "More Than a Feeling" to me. :/
