Rebecca Black otm! Her sentence construction leads me to believe that she could do a much better job writing her own lyrics than the Ark hacks.
also, she should cover Big Fun (Big Fun Fun Fun Fun?)

Why would someone set up a fake Rebecca Black Twitter a year before she became famous?
i don't know much about how twitter works since i do not have one but i read somewhere that whoever owns it changed the account name once rb got big
in any case, the ark page said at one point that she did not have any official facebook/twitter/etc, until they put up her (sadly quite boring) @REBECCAFANCLUB twitter page

Let it be noted that the actual lyric is "my friend is by my right", which isn't even "here's my friend!" but is more "i have a friend in the general vicinity of this side of me"

but the lyrics are:
kickin' in the front seatsittin' in the back seatcan't make my mind upwhich seat should I take?
... so she's already seated in the back, kicking the front seat, and she still isn't sure where to sit...?
Naw, it's enjambed:
"I see my friends kickin' in the front seat, si'in' in the back seat"
The whole damn thing is just so harebrained that it's hard to let yourself register that the writers had a thought that sustained itself over a whole line break.

I don't buy the bus thing - if it were truly a bus, "front seat" and "back seat" would be plural, since there are multiple front seats and multiple back seats in a bus
― dayo, Saturday, 19 March 2011 02:22 (thirteen years ago) link
plus cool kids would never sit in the front seat on a school bus.

The wife and I, listening to interviews with Rebecca, were surprised at how crass the interviewers were in making her respond to the criticisms. I mean, if I were to interview Metallica and say they haven't made a good album since Cliff died, I probably get thrown out of the room and never interview them or any bands handled by their handlers again. Here, radio guys and TV hosts have no problem quoting some very horrible things directly to her asking for comment.
I think she handled it well in the interview with the Canadian morning guy whose audio interview is on the main page of the Ark Music site now:
http://arkmusicfactory.com
But still, it's a bit of a surprise. When the Good Morning America interviewer was quoting stuff to her, I was upset. She's a 13 year old kid, do you really need to quote people saying "I hate her voice," "Even deaf people are complaining" and then following up to get her to reveal that someone told her to cut herself and get an eating disorder and how she cried?
So mean and unnecessary. Even Howard Stern wouldn't have been such a jerk with her, I'll bet.
Anyway, she comes off as a typical 13-year odl with Bieber Fever who is dealing with 15 minutes of fame. She's cute and seems to have a keen grasp on not only her talent but her place in the world, no mean feat for a young teenager stuck in an exploding internet meme.

i might be totally wrong here, but i've been kind of assuming that the reason RB has been doing interviews about feeling 'cyberbullied' is that she saw the comments and wants to talk about it publicly, not that the interviewers are ambushing her on-camera with nasty comments she hadn't already read?
― some dude, Saturday, 19 March 2011 13:40 (thirteen years ago) link
xp OTM abt how gross that GMA interviewer was being. "What's the worst thing you read? Did you cry? Do you think you have any talent?"
Like, seriously? Are you completely unaware of the fact this girl is 13? But yeah she comes off as surprisingly mature/capable and seems to be handling this p much the best way possible.

America consistently produces shite, mass produced music. always in the English's shadow. For every Rolling Stones, Beatles, Zepplin & Oasis we produce America comes up with Miley Cirus, this slag and Justin Bieber.
America's best band right now is the Kings of Leon and they're only famous in England anyway.
Come on America, sort it out. Where's your Nirvana's gone?

I love that the English think enough of Oasis to put them in the company of the Stones and Beatles
