The song stinks. Rebecca herself has a nice voice (nicer than mine, for sure), but not so much better than glee club/church choir, IMO.
But she can do what she wants. Her parents paid to do the song, and people look at it voluntarily. To excoriate her, to the point that she’s getting FOAD emails and comments, is way over the top. I’d say to her detractors, “Grow up,” but this is of course the Internet.
Have fun with it, but this is a thirteen-year-old. Sheesh.
^I don’t think she is going away.
She is on TV, on Conan and more.
Several other people have done covers.
Her next song is going to be “LOL” I read today.
And she is going to be a millionaire at 13.
No thanks- can’t stand the screetching that passes for singing now-a-days. I skip all the so called talent shows (glee and idol and whatever) because there is plenty else with all the channels.

Sorry, never heard of Rebecca Black. And if she’s that bad, I think I’ll keep it that way.

I think it’s cute. But I would only listen once if I was you.

That looks like an old TRS-80 from Radio Shack

Do it Vicky. Then get a iPad2.
Rockngolfer: Unfortunately, well OK fortunately, this is some poor dude imitating Bob’s 1964 voice, not his current one.

junco, you are right! I got my info from TheDailyWhat. Others agree it is an imitation.

If the song is terrible, but people listen to it, what does that say about musical taste?
JP Steve Premium Member over 13 years ago
If she’s really thirteen, that’s scary! Otherwise the song is neither good nor bad, just ho-hum.

Somebody alert Dr. Demento, he’s got a challenger to Felix Figueroa’s “Pico & Sepulveda.”

The video is excruciating. I could only take about 5 seconds.
