Struggling real musicians, you might as well give up now: Rebecca Black Scores Record Contract

Rebecca Black Scores Record Contract

Sure, she’s become notorious for her YouTube hit “Friday,” but that’s not where Rebecca Black plans to leave her career.

According to TMZ, Ms. Black recently scored a 5-song album deal and she can’t wait to show the world that she’s more than just a one-hit wonder.

Rebecca told press, “I don’t wanna be known as the ‘Friday’ girl. Hopefully I can be known as Rebecca Black and not the ‘Friday’ girl.”

She added, “I want to be a performing artist. That’s what I’ve always wanted to do.” And it sounds like she’ll get her chance.

I think I'm going to be sick.

2. throughout the universe and in perpetuity...
She sold her soul... That's what the entertainment companies do. They find talent and they find talented chumps. Then everyone gets to fawn after the chumps.




Ok, that's weird, spell checking fawn brought up Faust.

14. Real musicians are doing okay, thank you
Real musicians are doing fine playing live - there's more demand than ever in some places. A lot of them aren't even bothering to look for a "record contract". Stars aren't doing so hot, but then, not every plumber gets to work in the White House.

BTW whoever this is, she looks great miming to the Kropotkin's "Truck Stop Girls"

12. Let's see how long her career will last
Edited on Thu Apr-28-11 05:21 PM by The Northerner
I personally think she'll be dropped after maybe 2 or 3 albums are released.

Record companies will hire anyone to make a profit regardless of a person's talent.

13. Look on youtube, EVERYONE hates her and her stupid song.
They hired her for the jailbait aspect, just watch what they do with her.

18. So she got a shot so what?
Is she harming you? Friday's a stupid song but if they want to pay her to sing it more power to her
