US teen’s debut single ‘Friday’ goes viral for being worst pop song ever
March 18th, 2011 - 3:32 pm ICT by ANIMelbourne, Mar 18 (ANI): A debut single from a teenager in America has gone viral after it was revealed to be the worst pop song ever.
Rebecca Black, 13, was pushed into the limelight after Comedy Central’s website posted a link to her song ‘Friday’ under the headline Songwriting Isn’t For Everyone, News.com.au reported.
The heavily auto-tuned track has already had more than 10 million views and while her age-appropriate fans may consider her the next Justin Bieber, other music fans have protested loudly about the banality of the track.
The ratings button on the YouTube clip has been disabled and Black has out-trended the Japanese earthquake tragedy for the past few days.
Reviewers have said that “it’s so bad, it’s good” for its lyrical content.
The amateur musician seems to have been launched to online infamy by a Los Angeles company called Ark Music Factory, which operates casting calls for teen singers to record their tunes. (ANI)
