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

Those comments on that story.

I'm more surprised people still care that much.

Chord Overstreet

He's an actor on the show, yes.

Chord Overstreet sounds like a nefarious yuppie property developer trying to get the school bus taken away in the 80s movie 'Rebecca's Crazy Friday' co starring John Cusack

^^^

Exactly. I was just c&ping it because I honestly couldn't tell if that was his real name or his character's name. For his sake, I hoped the latter, but I looked it up and saw the truth. Poor kid.

10 gives you 1 he changed it to that to be more 'noticeable'

According to my very brief research this morning, his dad is the country singer Paul Overstreet and Chord and Nash are his two sons' real names.

okay that was great

"I couldn't really tell. It was autotuned" Landon wins.

Ha, I love all those kids.

Otm, hope for the future! Wonderful video.

MWAH - MWAH - MWAH - MWAAAAAAAAAH!

I'm sure this has already been posted and that somehow I managed to miss it, but oh my heck, I am loving this girl.

hahaha

Wow, that's...that's kind of brilliant.

The person who showed it to us at the bar was saying it gave her something close to "street cred"

That's pretty great.

Tori Amos, Leonard Cohen and lots of Beat poets.

somehow i came upon this and i just had to, like, post it here.

some video about crackheads lead me to that.

Not sure the ultimate meaning of it all, but has there ever been a song more than this one that everybody knows despite almost no radio airplay?

Did that Bed Intruder thing get much airplay?

don't think so, pretty sure it never showed up on any airplay charts anyhow

it charted on billboard. And they played it at the BET Music Awards and everybody in the crowd sang along!
but no, not as big as friday.

Certainly a precursor.

that was the "elliott smith at the oscars" moment for autotune the news stans, wasn't it (xpost)

i never would have imagined that the world's worst song would also be the most popular.
she's becoming a real media pro, trial by fire

"Friday" is in NO WAY the world's worst song.

that Leno interview is from about a month ago, a week or two after the youtube blew up fyi

ah, i was half-asleep when I flipped by and kinda wondered what took them so long, but it's Leno so y'know

Just noticed it crossed 100m views (probably a while ago). Current total: 114,837,942

100 million views in 2 months, 99% of them coming in the last 31 days.

pretty amazing that this meme is over and it's still getting 1.5M hits/day.

"My Jeans" is even worse than "Friday".... I mean, despite the "duh" factor in most of its lyrics, "Friday" at least is about something most of us can relate to and understand- how great the end of the work/school week feels. But "My Jeans" acts as if wearing jeans was a unique fashion statement and not the generic piece of clothing it is. Or like there's something special about the way she wears them and that everyone else had copied her. Or like she was the first to ever wear jeans. (yeah I know, not just any jeans but her kind, as if jeans don't all look pretty much alike).

I wish I was there to witness Jenna's horror upon discovering others watch her YouTube video on the same brand of laptop computer she has!

My Jeans is so good

Except it is not.

HA.HA.HA.HA.CAN'T JACK MY SWAG.

But "My Jeans" acts as if wearing jeans was a unique fashion statement and not the generic piece of clothing it is.

(yeah I know, not just any jeans but her kind, as if jeans don't all look pretty much alike).

but her cluelessness is pretty much the point, isn't it? because 99% of "My Jeans"s humor is unintentional, it's easy to forget that it's a goofy and satirical song by design. Jenna herself isn't the butt of the joke, of course, but she's playing the part of a vain girl who's blissfully unaware of her own pettiness (cf. Ashley Tisdale's character in High School Musical) and having fun with the role.

by comparison, nothing about "Friday" (the song, not the video) is intentionally funny except for the part where the dude gets stuck behind a school bus and wants to scream.

neither of these are bad songs and diafiud.

gotta say, the "Ashley Tisdale’s wearing my jeans/ Keke Palmer’s wearing my jeans" bit confused me at first. I thought she was excited and flattered that all those fake celebrities were dressing like her, but nope, even Disney princesses are filthy swag-jackers in her eyes.

damn unregistered is bringing it itt

I usually catch pop-culture references, but am either too old or too young (parents) to catch "High School Musical".

That's what I found so hilarious/sad/pathetic/bizarre about "Jeans" - that anyone would get uptight because she saw someone wearing the same jeans she is wearing. Like the factory custom-designed one pair just for her or something.

I don't think I've ever given a shred of thought to whether anyone else was wearing the same kind of jeans as me. Not that i'd notice if they did... the fashion-obsessed live in their own little world.

It's not the world's worst song, and it's not even the world's worst singer, but it is sincere enough for some people, which makes it a grotesque waste of everyone else's time. She's like that girl from church who probably has sometalent and everyone has to pretend to like her. And who needs that.

I like that the last sentence of the last post here is not a question. Like, the girl needs that.

Fame continues.

According to the story, Rebecca will appear live from Las Vegas along with Matt & Kim, Chiddy Bang. Mumford & Sons, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes and Foster the People. Presenters will include Ke$ha, Cee Lo Green, Wiz Khalifa and Robyn.

pomplamoose gotta be so jealous
