Do you like Rebecca Black? I've been a big fan ever since the release of her 2011 single Friday. Before that, I really didn't understand any of her work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Friday where Rebecca's presence became more apparent. I think Friday was her undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three songs. Listen to the brilliant phrasing of every note. You can practically hear every nuance of her voice. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this song hits a new peak of professionalism. In this song, Rebecca Black rebels against the problems of abusive parental authority. It's the most moving pop song if the decade. Her lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Rebecca Black's solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. But I also think Rebecca works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist.
