Sooner or later this will be used in advertisments

Just recently Rebecca Black, whom we all know from that song Friday, released a new song called My Moment.

Months ago I did a commentary on Friday and expressed my dislike at the song but not much at the artist because at the time it was her only song. Still I'm not a fan of her mostly because I'm not a fan of teen pop music of today, but I could say there is some improvement with Rebecca Black with this new song. Her voice is not all nasally and computerized so it sounds a bit more natural, human sounding.

As for the song itself I'd put it to a separate category from Friday. My Moment is a positive uplifting song while Friday is more of kick of your shoes and have fun (while at the same time having annoying lyrics). Also for this reason I'd think this would appear in advertisement for either travel or some educational institute. Picture scenery from some sort of cruise or university with the song sans lyrics playing in the background and then some shots of people having fun and doing various activities. Then the chorus come up and you have shots of people smiling. The commercial ends with a logo and the slogan "This Is Your Moment". Make sense no?

I'm not bothering to comment on the video for the song but compared to the zaniness of Friday it's toned down. Overall I think Rebecca Black has redeemed herself a bit, but remember, her claim to fame was infamy with Friday and I don't think this new song will totally get rid of that.

It's not Friday today, but wtf is up with the song?

This may be old news but I'm deciding to write about it anyways, even though mentioning "Rebecca Black" and "Friday" might bring up her fame/infamy that has come upon her.

So anyways for those out of the loop a 13-year-old girl from the United States has this song/video on youtube called "Friday" and as I'm typing this the view count is over 77.5 million with over 1.5 million in dislikes. Just how bad is it?

First of all I do believe it's her only song that's out there so as for the singer's voice it stands at robotic and autotuned. If she can actually sing what's the point of autotuning her voice.

The song, whoever it's written by (obviously not her), from my perspective sounds like it's for someone who is pretty much legal to have a driver's licence (15? 16?) unless Black comes from a place where 14 is the legal age to have a licence. Or can it be applied to 13 year old as well? Without watching the video and just reading through the lyrics the first two verses and the chorus seem normal (assuming that she's on a school bus and not in the back seat of a convertible). Where it becomes unbearable lyrically is at the bridge before the rap part where it goes:

Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday
Today i-is Friday, Friday (Partyin’)
We-we-we so excited
We so excited
We gonna have a ball today

Tomorrow is Saturday
And Sunday comes after...wards
I don’t want this weekend to end

Maybe it has to do with the pointing out the obvious (Thursday is before Friday followed Saturday and Sunday, what else is new), or it could be the "we so excited" part. "I don't want this weekend to end"? Sure you can have a neverending weekend. Just don't show up to school  or work (kinda doesn't work out if you're still living with your parents and you being tracked by your employer if you show up to work).

>After that comes the rap part which kinda draws attention to Justin Bieber's (I can't believe I said he who must not be named) "Baby". I've heard that RB is kinda like the female JB and in ways such as:

• both videos have an insane number of views on youtube (JB having the most of the share since he's been around longer) as well as more dislikes than likes
• annoying voices: JB's questions whether he's gone through puberty or not (to the point where his gender is questioned) while RB's is somewhat nasally.
• song structure: the choruses sound similar (<title>,<title>, something (something) <title>) and have a rap part

Yet the two songs and artists have some differences such as:

• "Baby" is about someones first love/first crush while "Friday" is about . . . well . . . song is pretty much self explanatory.
• JB is older than RB (though you can find people out there in cyberspace saying that he's not even a teenager)

but I don't think it really matters.

Now as for the video I like how each day of the week (except for Saturday) is connected to a song that features said day of the week ("Manic Monday" by The Bangles for example) but after that things just don't make sense, especially the friends driving the car taking her to school/party central (besides the under-aged driver the front seat is already taken so asking yourself "which seat can I take?" is somewhat redundant unless you're forcing your friend out of the front seat). Okay maybe the driver could be someone's older brother but another thing wrong with the video is RB and her friends on the "highway" sitting on the car. Unless there's some sort of traffic jam that doesn't look safe (probably hella fun though). The final thing I'd like to mention is the rap part doesn't match lyrically with the video. The time frame of what's said in the rap part seems to take place in the daytime while it's night time in the video.

Overall not a fan of the song itself but the parodies seem to be a lot better than the original
