Rebecca Black back again - My Moment

Post by RogueIce »



Posted July 18th. I would've said, "Three days and over 9.7 million views" but then I went to do something else for about 20 minutes and now it's over 10 million views. A bunch of dislikes again, but...fuck it man, three days and over 10 million views. And the comments keep on shooting up. Over 90 comments since I just started typing this...

Of course the haters gonna hate, but for the record: I actually think it's a pretty decent song. Girl's got a pretty good voice.

Well, they seem to have done a better job on the autotune this time, anyway.

Still think I'd rather listen to Adele blathering on about combustive rain showers, though.

Did she dump Ark Music Factory? I think they're the ones who deserve everyone's wrath.

Apparently yes:
Perez Hilton, as quoted on Rebecca Black's website wrote:Sounds great, we can't wait! Though, we're going to miss the power behind Ark Music's production — what "will you do without their lyrics?? Here's to hoping you'll blow us away regardless!"
IIRC that dude doing a rap interlude is apparently standard for AMF, and it's not in this video, which I suppose is also a sign.

10 million youtube videos is worth how much again?

Although, is it possible the ads to her videos generate more money for whomever gets those rights than actually selling said garbage? Is this the future of exploitable shit music?

I wonder... Why is there so much hate against a 13 year old girl?

This music video by a 12 year old boy has more than twice as many views, but only about 1/40th of the negative ratings...

Is there something I'm missing?

Zero dollars and zero cents if your not a Youtube partner, if you are it's a one tenth of one cent per view all the way to half a cent or so for the add traffic so ten million views could be anywhere from 10k and up.
