Rebecca Black: Driven to Tears Over Cyberbullying

Rebecca Black: Driven to Tears Over Cyberbullying

 

Granted, we dubbed "Friday," the single released by Rebecca Black last week that garnered millions of YouTube hits in mere days as the worst song in recorded history.

But this aspiring artist says that's nothing compared to the personal attacks she's received since the video made her into a celebrity.


"At times, it feels like I'm being cyberbullied," Black tells The Daily Beast, saying she was sent messages that read: "'I hope you cut yourself, and I hope you'll get an eating disorder so you'll look pretty.'"

The 13-year old adds "I don't think I'm the worst singer, but I don't think I'm the best" and then explains the origin of the track:

It was part a $2,000 package her mother paid to Ark Music Factory, a Los Angeles-based production company for teen hopefuls. She chose to release "Friday" because she could relate to its simple themes. 

Hoping to one day truly make it big, Rebecca has one dream in mind:

"I am in love with Justin Bieber. [A duet] would make my life!"

Rebecca Black's "Friday" Eclipses Charlie Sheen

While Charlie Sheen has been the predominant topic of conversation on the internet as of late, Rebecca Black is looking to change all of that.

The 13-year-old rising pop star recently scored 12 million views for her YouTube video of her single “Friday.”

Miss Black’s attention hasn’t all been positive, though- the Gawker website dubbed “Friday” the “worst music video ever,” and Daniel Tosh declared “songwriting isn’t for everyone” on his hit Comedy Central gig “Tosh.0.”

Nevertheless, Rebecca’s song has spawned multiple cover versions and garnered more interest than the former “Two and a Half Men” stars’ video series “Sheen’s Korner.”
