Here's the place for discussing music, plays, YouTube videos, and any other media that doesn't quite fit in the other sections of Harlequin Theatre.

Well I'm sorry if I said anything really mean about her. I don't think I did though.... :-k

I'm really sick of the 'we as Christians shouldn't critique anything'. :roll: There's a difference between critiquing something and simply hating on something with no given reason. So far, everyone on here has at least stated WHY they dislike her video, and I doubt anyone on here at all dislikes Rebecca Black herself.

You summed up my feelings perfectly. And I just hate the song, not the singer. :)

Was this part referencing to me? Because the part where I said "I personally believe people are going way to critical on a 13 year old girl" was only talking about those who "simply hating on something with no given reason".

Well no one can do the last part unless you actually get to know the person in real life.

Exactly. Even hating on her singing isn’t hating on her as a person.

\:D/ There's a reason why they did this... it was for a charity. I don't exactly know what, though. =P

It was for donorschoose.org, and I think about $86,000 was raised to go towards art education in schools. I don't know more specific details than that. Charity is a good reason to sing that song!

I really agree with this. So many people assume that stating our true opinion is unchristian. There is nothing wrong with stating our opinions as long as it is does respectfully. I personally do not in any way like this song, and personally find it humorous the way it is spreading so quickly. This does not mean I hate Rebecca Black. This does not mean she should never sing again. But saying the song is not good is simply stating fair opinion. As others have said, if we want true examples of harsh, cruel comments, we only have to go as far as reading the comments on her Youtube video. There are many there that need some censoring to make them safe to even try reading.

Edit: Just read some comments on the youtube video. Wow. I quit reading on page two. They were too crude to continue reading. I'd quote some, but uh, not only would the admins remove them, but it would be far more than just unchristian to repeat them. Wow. I feel bad for her now. Our comments here about the song look as nice as fresh baked cookies now compared to what has been said on Youtube. Those people have no right to say the stuff they're saying to a young 13 year old girl. She is only 13 right?

Yep. Using my signature for a shameless plug. But trust me. If I can be so arrogant, I think it'll be worth your time.

Yeah, I've heard about some of it, even though I never actually saw the comments (having not actually seen the official music video; I only heard the song). I think that these are probably some of the same people who did things like voting for Justin Bieber to go to North Korea for his world tour or started screaming at the movie screen at Miley Cyrus during the Bieber movie (yes, the latter I do take from personal experience).

Of course, her reaction is sort of wonky as well. After reading the comments on YouTube, she apparently said something along the lines of "Well, at first I was sad but then I realized that I got a reaction, which is what I wanted." Yeah, when people are telling you things like "Get anorexia and maybe you'll look prettier," I would probably not view that as something I wanted. :roll:

Sorry, I finally got around to listening to the song.

This song is great for learning your days of the week and which side of the road to drive on. (Referring to the bridge and rap section)

i merely saw a head line but didnt the song writer come out and apologize for the song..

im just saying.. she wanted to be a singer if i think she music is poop fine.

unless she startes doing likes of coke off a midget.. attacking her is pretty stupid.

and if i could i would hurt you in the worst ways i know possible. shes a teen shes got enough going on and now thrust in the spot light.. look at all the child actors and their lives.

my opinion im sorry if i got too crude rude and testy. but. yeah....
