Once you go black, you never go back.


It's not true in this case.

51,506 views, but 45k likes and 75k dislikes, lol.

That said, it's just another sh*tty pop song. Friday at least clawed into your brain and never released it's grip, and after repeating itself enough, was so bad it was good.

Thanks to VANFLAMESFAN for bumping the original 'Friday' thread, it let me catch up on my count without going through the effort myself.

The nicest thing I can say is the audio engineering team did one hell of a job.

In the professional music industry, it's almost always the audio engineers and studio/session musicians who have all the real talent sadly.

15 minutes of fame per song. Two songs = 30 minutes of fame each.

Funny how people thought the original attention would be bad for her & she would get depressed and go on "death watch".
Seems like she's ready to milk as much attention as she can.

Trust me, I'm very disappointed in the internet. Game needs to be stepped up.

Yeah, this is bad, but I still think it's better than half of the autotuned crap on 90.3 or 98.5.

What terrible radio stations.

Maybe not better, but certainly not worse.

This is a step up from "Friday", but I'd also assume there were actual professionals involved in this one rather than a fly by night operation that will take your $2000 and crank out some horrible piece of crap you can show your friends and family.

I'm actually pretty impressed with how she's handled being mocked by 100s of millions of people on the internet. Very mature for a girl her age. She seems to not take herself to seriously. If she can milk a few hundred grand out of this, good for her.

Exactly. Considering how much money she made off that awful Friday video, I would say she has over a million reasons to live.

Ya, she seems to be playing this fairly smart and making use of "Her Moment" as much as she can. Just shows how sad the state of mainstream music (and it's audience) is.

I don't think she's actually made much money from the "Friday" sales. There was a story a couple of months ago that her parents are suing the Ark Music Factory people because they've been profiting from the song that her parents bought and paid for because Ark holds the copyright.

That's one way to make money. Song rights.

These lyrics are actually just as bad as Friday, they're just not as grammatically awkward.

Wait, wait...you think this masterfully composed lyric from Friday is worse?

Tomorrow is Saturday / And Sunday comes afterwards / I don't want this weekend to end


Doesn't that speak to your soul?
