Apparently someone else thought so, too....

That was great! I guess you've seen a lot of the spoofs on her song?

I wonder how much ribbing she's getting at school?

I heard that it's estimated that she'll make a few hundred thousand off that song, from ads on YouTube or some YouTube agreement or something. All these viral videos are money makers. I'm not into YouTube, but that aspect of it really ruins it for me.

It's awful.
Nothing else to say.

Her voice stays at the same tone pretty much the whole thing. I'm not surprised I don't like it but I bet it catches on. Lovely how they're talking about going to a "party" on Friday.

Well, it is a bad song, but I've heard much worse.

It's bad, but I think I've heard worse, and by people who've gotten actual contracts. As it is, she will probably become a millionaire from it regardless unless her parents had a really bad contract with the producers of this vanity project. Plenty of people are downloading it-- even if it is because it is so bad. Such is the USA.

I don't know, it's catchy. She's happy and having fun with it. Kinda cute. Wouldn't want to listen to it over and over though.

Speaking of worst songs, this one sticks out in my mind. Every time I've heard it I've thought it was just the worst song but it was a hit.

What are you saying?!?!?

That was one of my FAVES in HS!!! Freshman yr. for me I believe? One of the reasons I liked it...most of the Girls in my grade loved it!!!!

;-)

Faron

I knew that'd get a rise out of someone, lol. Sorry Faron!

Yeah, some people do love that song. Always amazes me. Makes me cringe, lol.

Oh, I HATE SITS!!!!! And when one of my kids and his class sang it at their high school graduation I about died. laughing. lol

Another song I can't tolerate is "Afternoon Delight."

This is turning into a fun topic!

Good one. Rocketed to #1 and two grammies, lol. Best new band.

"Muskrat Love" comes to mind......yuck

My daughter and her friends are all singing "Friday" because it's soooo bad.

lol, Faron. You're so funny. So fess up, Afternoon Delight too? The song that is ; )

Okay, here I am again to rant against yet another push for little girls to grow up too fast. First I see the padded bikini tops for 8 year olds at Abercrombie, and here we have a 12 or 13 year old middle school 6th grader being portrayed in this video as a 16-18 year old: partying at night, out in cars, etc. Really? Most 6th graders I know are still being chauffeured by parents, and even then not out partying.
Otherwise, I find it a slightly catchy, innocuous tune sung by a child with the barest of vocal skills.

First I see the padded bikini tops for 8 year olds at Abercrombie,

Really? That's ridiculous! I am so glad that I am past all that with my kids.

That's sick!

I couldn't even watch the entire video. I made it to the point where they were standing up in the back of a moving vehicle shimmying, and two words came to mind: Dumbed down. I see my young niece becoming more and more interested in tween/teen pop culture, and I fear for her. What's the message she's receiving? Is it really innocuous, Mickey Mouse Club type "fun" - or is there something more sinister below the surface that's causing her childhood to ebb away faster than it should?

Not to veer wildly off topic, but there is a cadre of suburban moms who take their prepubescent daughters for full-on spa $000 days, including elaborate hair treatments, french pedicures --and waxes. According to the spa tech who, according to the article, was balking at doing bikini waxes on ten year olds they were told it was "so they would get used to it" and for "a bonding experience" with their mom. So much for baking brownies.

My son's middle school had to send out a mass email advising parents that stretch limosines are against the rules for *the 8th grade dance*!

Where's the judgement?

Personally I think "Friday" is unintentially a perfect, spot-on parody of modern pop music....

Friday...

(this guy' voice isn't too bad, it's a fun video, little pop up comments and all)

I'll look at the video in a second. But I have a question.

Did anyone catch Taylor Swift on The Ellen Show this morning? Cute as a button. And I've always been a big fan of hers, although I don't own any of her CD's.

But I noticed something today. All her songs sound the same. lol And is she really singing or is that more of a laid back rap she does because instead of singing, it's like she's mostly talking in her songs.

So that's what we're exporting to China now! gag

The worst of it all is the auto tune that they are using everywhere. Horrible, fake sounding, and a sign of how little talent some of these people have.

My younger son (20) knew how much I would hate the "Friday" song, so he played it for me. I couldn't even make it past the first 30 seconds. We all got a good laugh out of it, but I am so grateful my sons have more discriminating tastes in music!

Guess she's getting the last laugh.

Natal, she's getting fame for all the wrong reasons. I feel bad people have harassed her, especially those at school & now she's being home schooled because of it.

Katy Perry may have used her, but her lyrics and voice aren't that great.
