Growing up many of us have the dream to one day be famous. There are countless ways to go about doing so. Recentally a young girl has become super famous for a very odd reason. Rebecca Black is currently experiencing her 15 minutes of fame. Her song Friday has been called “The worst song ever” yet she has still made over a million dollars on the single. Just one month ago no one knew who this young girl was but today she is an internet sensation, but all for the wrong reasons. I agree, the song is horrible, but some how she has made a pretty penny off it. I recentally saw an interview with Rebecca where she stated that she doesn’t think shes the best singer, but also isnt the worst. I think the real issue is her lyrics. They are overly simple and she has been ridiculed for that. Rebeccas Black’s non-fans have been quoted saying “We don’t hate you because your famous, You’re famous because we hate you.” I feel this is a little harsh.
Famous because we “Hate her” or because she has created a really catchy song, Either way, at the end of the day Rebecca has a lot more fame and money than most teenagers. She has taken her bad reputation and brushed it off and is now a huge internet sensation.
