Rebecca Black knows it's almost FRIDAY!
This Orange County, CA teenager's YouTube music video went viral last week, with over 38 million views on the video sharing site.
Like any smart Breaker, Black is milking her 15 minutes. She has been the talk of every morning show, a trending topic on Twitter, and even made an appearance on Leno earlier this week. And like any good public figure, she is building a celebrity army to have on her side. Ryan Seacrest is a supporter. Simon Cowell wants to meet her. Lady Gaga is calling her a genius. Nick Jonas is singing HER song on tour. This is quite possibly the coolest 13-year-old on the planet earth (for the week at least.) Friday has reached #31 on the itunes Top 100 downloads too!
Early in the week everyone was hating on her song, but then people found themselves singing the catchy lyrics. News flash: It has been stuck in our heads ever since.
Do I think Rebecca Black is the next Whitney Houston? No, but she is capturing the tween audience and giving great material for comedians to work with. Did I mention she is taking this all the way to the bank?
