Brian Boyd said:The song’s tune and lyrics are not Rebecca Black’s. The US has a well-known vanity record label called Ark Music Factory; for an average of $2,000 (€1,400) its songwriting and production team will write a customer a song and record it professionally. Black pleaded with her parents to pay the fee so she could have something to show her friends on the internet.
The melody line sold to Black is catchy enough in a mindless sort of way. The lyrics may not be Leonard Cohen-esque, but they were written for a 13-year-old: “Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday / Today is Friday, Friday (partyin’) / Tomorrow is Saturday / And Sunday comes afterwards.”
To give the song a contemporary sheen the producers used the studio device Auto-Tune, which gives the vocal a slightly robotic feel.
The song was never intended to be released commercially, and it’s clear from the way Black performs it on the video that it’s only meant as a bit of fun for friends and family.

Yip!
An entire article bitching about the tweets of idiots, fish in a barrel Charlie.If you are complaining about a banal pop song but can't muster a more inventive way to express yourself than typing "OMFG BITCH YOU SUCK", then you really ought to consider folding your laptop shut and sitting quietly in the corner until that fallow lifespan of yours eventually reaches its conclusion.
ah I dunno, most of the people he's complaining about are 13 year olds\Perez Hilton anyway.
I don't see the problem.
It goes back to aesthetics, I for one aint fond of the 2k10 teenpop sound . Maybe in 20years time that sound will resonate more and her lyrics about the joys of the banal, small things in life and the tough choices a teenager in American has to face like which car seat to sit in with be a clever reflection of that culture.Why is This;
Cool
And a document of a lost time, and catalogue of outsider art and whatever the fuck else you want to say about it.
But she and Ark Music Factory isn't
And is somehow an indication of the death of the world.
...............when they are exactly the same thing

could make any sense to me. How is her songMormons point
anda document of a (lost) time, and catalogue of outsider art
as other song poems. Again its back to aesthetics. The mircokorg sound doesnt have the same affect on me as the warm and unnervingly weird mellotron thats in lots of rodd rogers poem songs.exactly the same
