It's got 6 million more views since yesterday.

Over a million "dislikes" today.

I opened that in the background and then, when I got to that tab maybe 10 minutes later, there were over 100 new comments.

My favorite comment was something like "the best part of the video is when fat Usher shows up."

I had managed to avoid that until last night.  Man, that's lousy.  But I also feel sort of bad for her.  This was pretty much a vanity song/video, I don't think anyone was saying she was a professional, but thanks to the interwebs it's all over the place now.  But, she got to go on Leno, so there's that.

Really?  So what's the story there?  Is she rich and can afford to hire a professional videographer to shoot a video of her super terrible song?  I guess that's what's throwing me off.  Most "vanity" videos on you tube have a sheen of amateurishness about them.

Edit:  I must be obsessed with this song because I've watched it 3 times now.    I wanted to watch it again to confirm to myself if it is as professionally shot as I remember.  That's when I stumbled upon this which brings me back to my original thought that this is some kind of spoof.  If it is, whoever did this is a genius.  They've fooled millions.

Wikipedia sez her parents paid $2K to a vanity studio for the song and the video.  The studio people wrote the song, not Ms. Black.

I initially saw it on another messageboard. There were several videos from the same "studio" posted there - all roughly the same deal.

My ladyfriend linked me to an article that put it plainly to me in a way I enjoyed.  It also keyed into why all of the parodies have fallen flat for me (except the bad lip reader, which is earwormy in it's own right.)

It's a song about a 13 year old living a 13 year old's fantasy.  That makes me like it quite a bit.

"I've got a hectic morning, but my friends make it ok.  Also it is the weekend, and there is a party.  Awesome!"

I'm not proud - I will point out that for me at thirteen the weekend meant Dungeons & Dragons or the arcade. (Actually, I guess that would have been roughly when I was transitioning into the weekend meaning bong hits.)

Seems like something to be proud of to me!

Also:

I just discovered and started listening to the Beatles week before last.

That's worth a can.

It's still a terrible song, but she's not a terrible person.

So I guess I'm the last to discover this. Yeah, maybe it's a bit creepy, but it's also awesome. So awesome.
