* A Little Summary about Rebecca Black*
Just in case for you all who don't know who Rebecca Black is... Rebecca Black gained fame from the media at age thirteen in early 2011 with her music hit single "Friday" which went, viral on YouTube a little over more than a year ago. She received within 3 months, more than 160,000,000 views which got her fame and attention from the media, as well as her peeps,and her millions of haters worldwide. People than gave her death threats, because according to the media, the video was rated the worst/annoying/most hated video ever created. Rebecca Black, then began to receive bullying constantly from people, that she had to, be home schooled because she could no longer handle people thoughts/opinions about her music video. Now she has moved on from this situation,and has continued to try to impress the world with her latest songs/music videos on YouTube.Another interesting is that REBECCA IS THE 1# MOST SEARCHED PERSON ON GOOGLE.
*Why does this example go with this weeks essential question?*
The question for this week was "What is the role of music/radio in American society?". I think that the role of music/radio in media is people who come up with new genres of music to entertain the people around the world (diversity) and then the music gains popularity then is heard and published worldwide. which then for this reason, the media gets involved.
*Why did I decide to blog about Rebecca Black?*
Rebecca became famous with one single music video because,a lot of people hated it. People would say that her genre was/is just auto tune because she can not sing, what so ever. so music could have a postive affect on singers, or a negative one. In this case Rebecca Black, has a negative effect in music/radio in American society. however, the only thing Rebecca Black is trying to do is pursue her dream, of becoming a singer. She does not give up this dream, and continues to create new music videos by using auto tune.

At first, when i heard her song, i simply thought that she just wanted a song that expresses her teenage days. Then she started popping up everywhere and i started learning more about her, so now she just wants the fame.
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to lie, at first when I heard this song I thought it was cheesy but then when I heard what people were saying to her online, I could empathize with her. I can't say that I was the one who posted these videos on youtube or facebook. But what had happened was my freshman year, I was dragged into dancing for my spirit team, I didn't want to do it because 1. i can't dance and 2 i don't like being put on the spot like that. Long story short, i did the dance got my team 100 points but then found out that someone had taped it then it ended up on facebook and they were making fun of me behind my back. The second time that same year, i had to sing for the talent show. And about a year later i found out that someone had also taped that one and they put it on youtube and said it was one of the worst performances ever. so i don't think its all about fame but more that she just wants to express herself somehow.
