Rebecca Black

It will not disappear. In fact, Rebecca Black has a new single. And it is falling the next Monday. Monday. Monday.

Believe it or not, has been only four months because Rebecca Black, the worst song and most outrageous music videonot Limp Bizkit Division, in the earworm that haunted his nightmares of spring. It seems that just yesterday luxurious black was saying that his dream with Justin Bieber Duet. Today, Bieber - and a lot of piano playing cats - their dust can almost eat you. "Friday" just happened "The Bieber Baby" by the honour of being the most watched of all time video.

It's been a roller-coaster few months to 14 years - has been intimidated by the inferior-alimentadores Web part and is tussled with his vanity label, music of Ark. Also came to appear on a list of dream of the talk shows, they have their song in "glee" and did not play Friday godmother to Katy Perry. And now, might be thinking, does is not time for her to Trololo Man and dramatic Hamster in the field of classical although cooled memes? Well, not so fast, crazy dreamers.

For "my time", the black parts of the company of his family of addicts Ark autotune and teams up with a new team of composers - Quinton Tolbert and wait, collaborator of Justin Bieber Brandon "azul" Hamilton. The video will be released on the official YouTube channel of the black and promises to show real footage of the young singer receives an award in his high school and strutting the red carpet. It is, as its website explains, "the story of his sudden rise to fame... a fairy tale story, but happened in real life". The single will be available the next day after its debut, and a full EP followed in August.

To project a sense of humor about his sudden fame - and create the image of a sweet boy under his own joke - black has been able to parlay attention fluke fame legitimate. But its appeal has been so far, in the absence of a better word, the unpolished quality to your music. Production values without soul of the Ark music may have been a large part of the terrible charm of "Friday", but there is also the voice of the negro question Yes. Submitted for your consideration: that note that goes from 1: 47 to 1: 57 version unplugged "good morning America" for its success.

If a stellar set of pipes were really the only criteria for stardom, Madonna herself would have never had a career. But lacking a true $ Ke has or extravagance as Britney, young black Miss has financed so far in the pure unlikeliness of his fame as its main selling point. And unlike the Mileys and Selenas who has spent years of training in the machine of Disney, you busting his boots and his vocal cords in the service of achieving stardom, black had just stardom thrust on it by a fascinated audience. Susan Boyle did too, but Susan Boyle could hit the notes.

For black now seek new underdog transition something even remotely approaching the orbit of Taylor Swift - a young man who can write and play, and belt ' em to back - row is not unfathomable, but insurance is going to be difficult. If she can cling to their healthy seriousness and not go all diva or maybe even learn to sing, everything is possible. But Rebecca Black can find out the next week a real music career takes much more work of random fun fun fun.
