It is not only a 13 year old we are making fun of. It is a worldview where money buys you everything and where music isn't about expressing yourself but puting a couple of stereotypical elements in some random order in a three minute long song. So in a way she is not getting famous for what SHE is or what SHE has done, she is just giving up her voice to the degraded music industry. How could we attack HER? She doesn't exist.
Yeah, if anyone's looking for me, I'll be simultaneously poisoining, drowning and hanging myself.
regardless that has got to be the most annoying intrusive add ive ever seen. fucking chainsaw comes and rips off the screen lmao. she deserves the money imo brilliant voice.

Doesn't mean shit. Having a million dollars today doesn't mean nearly as much as it did a decade ago. People who win the lotto, and suddenly get millions of dollars, squander it all the time and are left with less then what they started with. If she still has all of this years from now i'll be astonished (even if she has 1 or 2 more songs which make her money).
Having said that, who is actually "buying" this shit? Isn't it enough to watch the youtube video and laugh at it? Who in gods name actually wants this on their ipod...

while you play down 1,000,000$ that is obv still growing tremendously i'll be thinking about how I probably won't make that much in the next 15 years

I can't help but wonder if this whole thing is some sick, twisted, Zimbardo-esque case study by the record labels to see just how bad music can be and still sell/profit.
Playing back the video [click here for the video], and putting the lyrics of the whole song aside, an interesting sequence that have put everyone off of Black’s first video is that footage of Rebecca standing by the bus stop while her lyrics goes as ‘her friends coming over to pick her up for school’. This sequence alone has raised questions like why would the writer come up with a sequence with Rebecca standing and waiting for her friends at the bus stop if her lyrics were saying her friends were coming to pick her up for school.
