TetRefine Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I thought we had hit a low point with Bieber, GaGa, and trashy Kesha...but apparently not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2LRROpph0&feature=channel_video_title Heres what the critics had to say according to Wikipedia: The song has received almost entirely negative reviews. Observers have called it "bizarre", "inept" and "hilariously dreadful". The song and singer were "savaged" on social networks across the internet, while being seen as a "YouTube laughing stock". Kevin Rutherford, a columnist for Billboard magazine, wrote, "Black's video for 'Friday' is one of those rare occurrences where even the most seasoned critics of Internet culture don't know where to begin. From the singing straight out of Auto-Tuned hell to lyrics such as 'Tomorrow is Saturday / And Sunday comes afterwards / I don't want this weekend to end' and a hilariously bad rap about passing school buses, 'Friday' is something that simply must be seen and heard to be fully appreciated." Many other reviewers also singled out the lyrics in particular for criticism, which were described as "overly simple and repetitive" by TNT Magazine. Jim Edwards of BNET and Doug Gross of CNN both noted that the rap break from the considerably older rapper was "creepy". One reviewer went so far as to state the song was possibly "The Worst Song Ever" and compared it to "The long look an addict takes in the mirror on the day they hit bottom, the day they tell themselves, I need to make some changes." This video was made three days ago and my roommate just showed it to me. We almost wet ourselves laughing while watching it at how horrible it was. 1
Jack Frost Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Exactly. Three days ago I had to deal with about 50-75 posts about her on my Tumblr dashboard. Memes over memes. I can't get her out of my sodding mind since then... Edited March 17, 2011 by Jack Frost
thatboyChase Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 to be honest, in highschool, i thought ever friday was like this i like how she says she wants a bowl - she is also ugggllly
Y_B Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 The thing with Bieber, Kesha and Gaga is that they are pop music, and just like how pop music intends, they're simple and pretty catchy under the right circumstances. I don't much enjoy any of the 3 artists you listed in general but "Baby" is probably one of the catchiest songs I've heard and I do like it a lot. Same with Tik Tok, Telephone and what not and for the purpose they serve, I say they're pretty darn good. Personal taste doesn't serve as good objective judgement on what's good and bad, right or wrong, blah blah blah, not to mention the experience of listening to music is very subjective, so......don be hatinnnnnnn (Friday is definitely trash though)
Cyhort Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 I hate it, but honestly it doesn't sound much worse than most of the crap you hear on Top 40 stations these days.
Fishwings Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Today is Thursday. Tomorrow is Friday. And Saturday comes afterward. And then Sunday comes after that. Gotta get down.
Sara Alva Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Today is Thursday. Tomorrow is Friday. And Saturday comes afterward. And then Sunday comes after that. Gotta get down. Only after you make up your mind about what seat to take in your friend's car. That's a very important step, you know.
Fishwings Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 Only after you make up your mind about what seat to take in your friend's car. That's a very important step, you know. You're right. What should I do? It's such a dilemma. Maybe I should just jump in the trunk
JamesSavik Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 That's dreadful. I'm going to have to listen to Metallica all night just to get the crud out my ears. 2
rustle Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I try hard to keep an open mind with music, but I think I'll make an exception this time. 1
Skyline Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) All you need in life right hurr Edited March 18, 2011 by Skyline
PlugInMatty Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 I particularly enjoy the soulful wailing over the top of the final chorus, and the fact that she doesn't appear to know what to do with her arms for the entire video. 3
J.T. Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 This video is precisely why parents don't let their teenage kids to go out or drive cars... ever. If I had kids and this type of crap was going on I'd probably send them all to military school - including the women. I'm never getting that 3:47 back from my life.
Hamen Cheese Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Oh... my... god... haha... I must say I agree. This song is horrible. On a side note, Lady Gaga's song aren't bad! Well, at least the earlier ones. I don't like the recent ones. But don't give up hope! There are actually good pop songs out there. Just take this song by Pink. I think it's actually pretty good and I'll share it with you to take away the sting of what you just heard. 1
Cjay Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 "we..we so excited. we gonna have a ball today." the lyrics is epic i almost shit my pants laughing LOL. 1
TetRefine Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 Did anybody else notice how the kid driving was like 12? This song is something above god awful.
Rizan Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Oh... my... god... haha... I must say I agree. This song is horrible. On a side note, Lady Gaga's song aren't bad! Well, at least the earlier ones.

I think it's actually pretty good and I'll share it with you to take away the sting of what you just heard. The unedited version is even better, adds a bit of power to the song. On topic, just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's terrible. A true music lover should be capable of admitting, while not particularly liking the music of say, Lady Gaga, her voice was created for the purpose of music and her lyrics are catchy. Plus, She was born this way, baby!
Skyline Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 There are actually good pop songs out there. Good Songs. Pop Songs. Choose One. 1
Tenebrae Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 That's dreadful. I'm going to have to listen to Metallica all night just to get the crud out my ears. Iron Maiden, dude. Even "Master of Puppets" wouldn't be enough brain bleach to get that out of my head. Got to have "Can I Play With Madness" for sure.
Hamen Cheese Posted March 18, 2011 Posted March 18, 2011 Wow. You people can really be cruel. Well, on the plus side, she will probably be more known worldwide than some of us ever will in our lifetimes. And one song might not define her forever.

Bumblebee Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 OK soooo the song is a complete crap....BUT She is borderline kinda hot
Sara Alva Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 OK soooo the song is a complete crap....BUT She is borderline kinda hot Really?? Oh wait, you're 15
J.T. Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Iron Maiden, dude. Even "Master of Puppets" wouldn't be enough brain bleach to get that out of my head. Got to have "Can I Play With Madness" for sure. Last night when I selected Slayer to blast that filth out of my brain. It wasn't enough... some douche was playing it on the train to show her friends at how corny it was. Thank goodness I have Iron Maiden and Metallica to flush the rest of it out during the train ride, otherwise I would have been pissed off even before I had my morning coffee before my work shift started. On my break, I moved on to Disturbed, 5FDP, and BFMV... I think I feel a little bit better now.
