The worst pop song of all time (apparently)

RJS (undefined) posted this on Friday, 18th March 2011, 13:52

Friday by Rebecca Black. 15 million hits on youtube and rising.

Awful video, charismatic free singer, excessive auto-tuning, lyrics so inane a europop dance track artist would be embarrassed to sing...



From wikipedia:

Quote:
In an interview with
The Daily BeastQuote:
, Black`s mother, Georgina Kelly, recalls how a classmate of Black informed her of Ark Music Factory, an LA record label that allowed young singers to gain experience in the industry by recording a track for a small fee. Kelly paid Ark Music $2,000 for a package that included a choice of two pre-written songs.

Didn`t get 30 seconds in. Awful!

But hey, she paid them $2000 to let her record it. I`m in the wrong business! lol

When it got to the rap bit I thought, hey this has to be better lyrically, it was, but only just. :/

I think the worst lyrics in the entire song (below) are so bad, it made me think the writers were really taking this poor girl for a ride.

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

I have a few problems with this whole thing namely (in no particular order) - 

  • the girl looks so uncomfortable and so un-natural
  • the extras look so uncomfortable and so un-natural
  • the lyrics are truly horrific
  • the rapping is better but still horrific
  • the video is entirely unoriginal
  • the video starts with her having breakfast, she gets in a mates car (presumably to go to school) and then they go to a party. What happened to school?
  • The whole video looks like it was filmed as a project by a few 12 year olds
 
I think that about covers things.

I`ve heard a lot worse by Glee and Britney Spears.

Wow, I`m not sure I prefer the metal version either heh. If I do it`s only because you can`t hear the awful lyrics. ;)

Depends on what you term "good" :-/
To me, that was just the vocal of Paparrazzi with some other instrumental track played behind it.
Didn`t seem to match up or anything else, just one instrumental, one vocal.

Unless it changed nearer the end cos it was hurting my ears and I cancelled it after about a minute n a half.

Oh, and the other one is crap too LOL
