...or an elaborate prank?

This song/video is so terrible you might actually feel physical pain.

Yeah. It's the worst. Annoying, nasal, auto-tuned, mega stupid "singing" with the most moronic lyrics ever. Perfect for the modern, shallow music consumer.

I'm predicting it will be a huge hit!

I truly feel sorry for the majority of young people today. The exceptions are very bright, but most American teenagers are even stupider than the idiot parents that spawned them.

Now it's "cool" to be a an untalented loser (like Snooki, Kardashian, Kanye, etc.). The main objective is to become famous.

This is so very awful, it makes Justin Bieber seem like John Lennon in comparison!

Hell, it makes Debbie Gibson (who actually could play instruments, sing and write music) seem like Zappa.

Mainstream popular art and culture in the 21st century sucks Bieber balls.

As a t-shirt I saw the other day read, "I'm not old, your music just sucks!"

I'd buy that shirt.

I'll second that.

Three thoughts:

1- God-awful singing, lyrics, production, dance moves....everything.

2- They really need to color-match their cameras on the "moonlight drive" scene

3- Why does every female singer (sic) song have a portion of rap within it?

I want that t-shirt!!! I can't believe how awful that was! And how about Willow Smith?! I just heard her the other day and I can't believe she's becoming a huge pop sensation. But, of course...she's Will Smith's daughter!

You probably shouldn't lump Kanye West in there. I'm not a fan of his at all, and as an MC he's okay, but as a producer he borders on genius. The stuff he's been doing with his arrangements and music production from 10 years ago was miles beyond what anyone else was doing, and pretty much changed the sound of hip-hop.

I am in no way sticking up for his personality, the guy is clearly a douche, but you can't question his music chops.

My ears are bleeding.

I think Pat Benatar should head a bunch of mercenaries comprised of the Wilson sisters, Stevie Nicks, Debbie Harry and Justin Timberlake and kick some auto-tuned butt!!

I saw a parody of this song which is just brilliant. I laughed so hard, it brought tears to my eyes! HAHA! It sounds like the ramblings of a mad man, and the lighting and bad audio quality adds to the effect.

Lmfao!

Now that one, I enjoyed!

GMA was going to have Rebbecca Black on this morning to discuss this viral video... and "is it the worst pop song ever" or "should everybody stop picking on a 13-year-old"?

I didn't TiVo it, though!

Here's a link to a quick blurb on Salon (and dig at ABC's anchor) with the interview.

story at Salon

I like this song better than The Cure's "Friday I'm In Love".

You have got to be kidding me.

I am serious. I think The Cure lost all of their credibility with that song.

Why, because it wasn't insanely depressing and the lead singer didn't sound quite so suicidal?

Yeah. I was always a Smiths fan.

And Echo and the Bunnymen to a lesser degree. ooh, and Stand and Deliver from the Prince Charming Album from Adam and the Ants.

I was mostly just saying you have got to be kidding me to the video I just watched...

Everything sucks that I don't like.

How about that?
