Is this video real, or a troll?
03/11/11 at 22:27:52
 



Backstory: It appeared tonight, Friday, March 11 on one of 4chan's fora (won't specify) and the page was hacked so that anytime one would toggle or refresh pages, it would load and start.  It had 14k views when I first saw it around 9pm, but has already skyrocketed to 90k views in the 4.5 hours since.

Trolling is my area of expertise.  I can't discern whether this is a rich, spoiled girl, who just happened to make a song and a music video and uploaded it for her 1000s of friends because she is super popular and wants to become a pop star, or whether it is simply a production of great trolls and the whole thing was staged by professionals as a joke.

When I search Rebecca Black, I can't find any artist page that suggests she is a real, signed performer to a label with any sort of credibility.  However, the channel has several other music videos from comparable "artists" and the website arkmusicfactory.com has comparable information.  Again, these could all be staged as some form of elaborate troll.

Thoughts?

She isnt hot enough to be considered as a pop star. She looks like a young Linda Hamilton smashed in the face by a carton of Ribena. This is obvious troll.

Ok Goose I know I trashed Taylor Swift in your other topic. I take that back. She is talented, this video might have the worst lyrics of all time. Not only that but the chorus is really obnoxious.

This has to be real, and it really sucks.

and that rapper in the video is a pedo, he's hanging with high school kids.

I'm glad you acknowledge that.  This video is a perfect example of an average person putting a lot of effort into making a song & video.  By comparison, Taylor Swift is extremely talented and probably in the top 0.01% of music makers in the world (1 in every 10 000 might better.)  You may not like it, but there are very few people who could do better.  People are just so quick to say something sucks and they hate it when it's popular, so that they feel their opinion can have value.

Her voice the whole time sounds like she's talking and autotune is trying its best to make it sound like music. If it's real, I've lost all faith in the music industry Tongue.

Tosh is a show on comedy central that revolves around funny, ridiculous, or weird videos found online.  So that doesn't prove anything.

The only kind of video worse than Rebecca Black - Friday, is a video of some random person with 0 value in society ranting about how bad Rebecca Black - Friday is.  There are so many fucking "VLOGS" and "VRANTS" about how bad it is.  I'd rather watch Friday for the rest of my fucking life than watch even 1 of those VRANTS fully.  Oh yeah, "reaction" videos are a fucking disaster too.

The only thing worse than a random person with 0 value in society ranting about how bad Rebecca Black - Friday is is a random poster ranting about the rant about the bad music. There are so many fucking "POSTS" and "TROLLS" about how bad these rants about how bad Rebecca Black - Friday are. I'd rather watch a random person with 0 value in society ranting about how bad Rebecca Black - Friday is for the rest of my fucking life than read even 1 TROLL fully. Oh yeah, "copying" post formats are fucking disasters too.
