HOT TOPICS: Rebecca Black

This post is for those of you who might not be familiar with the most recent youtube sensation: Rebecca Black.  You're probably wondering: Where did she come from? Who is she? What makes Friday so important to her?  Our expert writer on all things R.B. comes from the one and only, Tess Bates.

WHAT: HOT TOPICS     By: TESS

"Rebecca Black is a thirteen year old, "born and raised in Cali." Her hit single, "Friday" has sky rocketed her to the top of the imaginary teenie bopper musical charts. She wakes up at 7am daily, and goes downstairs to get her bowl and cereal. Then she waits at the bus stop for her friends. The biggest decision of her life as of late has been which seat to take? Hopping in the front seat? Or kicking it in the backseat? She doesn't wear her seatbelt in the car, which makes her a terrible role model for children everywhere. She likes to party, party, party a lot. Her parties consist of people driving to the same location and parking in close proximity to one another and standing around. She is always very excited. And Rebecca uses the third person pronoun "we" to talk about herself. She knows the days of the calendar very well. She is quoted to say that Friday is after Thursday. Also, Friday is before Saturday, and Sunday comes afterwards. Apparently, she likes to get down on Friday. A lot. Rebecca Black shows the angst of a generation, having to decide which seats they should take, which implies a power and popularity struggle. One of her newer and lesser known hits, "Prom Night" is not up to par with her first single, but with some work and publicity, she may be the next Britney Spears wannabee of our generation."

So now that you know everything about Becca, how do you feel?  Is she your next best friend?  Are you going to ask her to prom?  Maybe someday you can help her decide which seat she should take.


Is it for realzies...
Hugs and more hugs
