Rebecca Black's "Friday" - It's so Bad, it's Good!

So, if you haven't heard the latest viral video, then I MUST show it to you right now:






Yes, it's a disaster on ALL levels. First off, the lyrics are horrible! I mean, which person does NOT know the days of the week? I thought Monday came after Friday. And, what's with the indecision of where to sit in the car?



Secondly, terrible, and I mean terrible autotuning on all counts. A girl her age (must be in middle school) should not have to autotune her voice. Only Katy Perry and Lady Gaga are allowed to do that, since it makes their songs sound decently good.







This is what I thought of doing when I heard the song yesterday
 

Now, for the positives... the only two possible pluses is that now she is a celebrity a la Antonie Dodson and Justin Bieber, and that she'll be a pun in late night talk shows today and for the rest of the week (Tosh.0 has already covered it).

Btw, as of 4 PM yesterday, she had 2 million views on Youtube. I checked again at 8 PM (3.7 million) and again now (6.5 million).

--- Sidenote: I did reference this video in my exam today, since the question was on how social media has had a positive and negative result in today's society ---

That's today's news in a nutshell. Too bad Rebecca did not post the video on a Friday!

Bieber Fever!




Justin Bieber has been everywhere this month, that February has turned into Bieber Madness! For example, on Super Bowl Sunday, Ozzy Osbourne and himself were involved in a Best Buy commercial that was one of the best this year.

The day after (Monday), he 'replaced' Jon Stewart on Stewart's "The Daily Show". Then, a week later (2/10), Bieber went to the Late Night Show with Jimmy Kimmel and had his head shaved off! (Ok, not really...)

The following Sunday (two days ago) Justin Bieber sang his two most popular songs - an acoustic version of "Baby, Baby", and "OMG" with mentor Usher.

And, just recently, I find out on Sports Illustrated's Hot Clicks that Bieber's ringtone is set to Oklahoma State football head coach Mike Gundy's rant:










And, in response, the head coach himself put his ringtone to Bieber's "Baby, Baby":






To top off his celebrity status, the FOX hit television show Glee is set to have a theme in Bieber's honor in today's brand-new episode:





At the end of this week, after a whirlwind month, Justin Bieber is going to participate in the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game with Magic Johnson, Jalen Rose, Rob Kardashian (brother of the Kardashian sisters), Jason Alexander and Common, among other celebrities on Friday at 7 PM EST.

I am not a big fan of Justin Bieber (I am one of those Bieber-haters), but he is having one hell of a month!
