kalstark, March 15, 2011 at 4:40:03 AM CET

uhm... new artist on The Lonely Island's new label??

Kozoru, March 15, 2011 at 5:51:11 PM CET

This video is pretty horrible. I mean, the song's lyrics and arrangement are really simple and dull, just like the 90 per cent of the modern pop music--Britney Spears, etc. The picture itself is boring and generic--but also very badly shot and lip-synced. Also I don't get all this "rap/hip-hop" trend--why do they need to put a black guy into every single video? Sounds racist to me.

fun fun fun fun

captainhairy, March 19, 2011 at 8:35:03 PM CET

wtf? 21M hits?

MosesV, March 19, 2011 at 9:22:57 PM CET

This needs to be spoofed.

captainhairy, March 20, 2011 at 7:52:49 AM CET

i don't get it. is it popular b/c its so crap & funny... chocolate rain style? or are kids genuinely digging it??

robodrug, March 20, 2011 at 5:39:03 PM CET

The girl has apparently been dubbed the worst singer ever! Stories featuring her lack of talent, hate comments or how many u2b hits the video has had, started appearing like a plague in every arse wipe tabloid here in the UK (presumably the same is true in the USA)

When they first ran the story it was a low 2.5 million So its no real mystery really Capt', how its now mushroomed to 21 million, everyone who sees the story just has to watch the clip at the very least!

And no doubt its given added impetus when nob'eads like the Daily Mail headline "Simon Cowell reveals he 'loves' America's most reviled teenager"

Slick bit of promo if u ask me, despite any questions regarding its relevance or quality

MosesV, March 21, 2011 at 9:53:42 PM CET

Good job, now it's trending on twitter.

progosk, March 21, 2011 at 10:16:13 PM CET

been trending for days, Moses; meantime the mainstream media also licked her wounds, and she took it all in pretty savvy stride. (currently 30M YT, but down to #45 on iTunes singles chart; peaked on friday, much?)

cms13ca, March 22, 2011 at 2:34:42 PM CET

Not a good singer. Her voice is monotone, sounds like a rap song.

captainhairy, March 22, 2011 at 2:58:35 PM CET

@ cms13ca - is that you Randy J ?

macguffin, March 22, 2011 at 4:00:22 PM CET

Well she's about to be a millionaire so who's getting the last laugh

@ captainhairy No. Are You Jimmy Ray? :}

pancho, March 23, 2011 at 3:45:33 AM CET

Fuck that shit.

Kozoru, March 24, 2011 at 7:32:26 PM CET

At first I thought they were going for some sort of tim-and-eric-styled obvious spoof on MTV Dance music/music videos but failed because it was too obvious and not smart. The next day I thought they were going for some sort of spoof on tim-and-eric-styled spoofs by exaggerating their methods of reductio ad absurdum to the extent it becomes unfunny. Now I feel like a lol-it's-irony-you-don't-get-the-post-modrenism teen hipster prick.

still where it's at: Stephen Colbert Sings "Friday" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots - www.youtube.com

76M YouTube, #25 on iTunes singles chart.

progosk, April 2, 2011 at 9:55:08 AM CEST

got to hand it to her: her Greatest Hits is full of win. (Whereas MTV's attempt to nudge their way in with a feeble artist's commentary is quite teh fail.)

ckyrico, April 2, 2011 at 5:22:38 PM CEST

God I love the Internet.

progosk, June 14, 2011 at 1:19:28 AM CEST
