Rebecca Black strikes back!


Rebecca's video "Friday" wasn't getting the acceptance she wanted; on the contrary, a huge viral scorn-a-thon movement mocking her first effort was getting traction. She told then that she would not let several million hecklers break her. Then she became Dr. sipmac's heroine of the year. I'm no Richie Unterberger, but it did not take great pains to write a review of her debut song, pointing out:
Rebecca might not become the next Madonna or Britney Spears (both of them aren't gifted with great voices, either - and they have both sold a gazillion records already), but it seems her mean gratuitous detractors want to avoid at all costs that she turns into the female Justin Bibier success story. And that reeks of plain old jealousy to me. The video shows real teenagers, with pimples and not-so-cute faces. But it shows a very cute girl following her dreams and aiming big. She is trying, and with the right advisory, she can become an accomplished pop singer.

Or as Ed Wood's son said, George Lucas couldn't stand a chance with Creepy Ed's movie budgets. Well, now Rebecca presents her new video "My moment", with better production values (and less autotune, I concede) and a very straightforward message. She's following her dreams, she's still aiming big and she won't let be threatened by philistines.


Any parent wishes to raise a daughter like her.

Up to this moment Rebecca has only 323 visitors for her new video, but she deserves more than the 100 + million she got with "Friday".


I'm still wishing her moment is not over yet. Go get'em Rebecca!

I hate these days. People are telling you to STFU. Just say it, no matter how stupid or offensive it is.
