What has this industry come to? Recently my friend showed me this Youtube video of a thirteen-year-old girl, Rebecca Black, and her music video of her first single “Friday.” (Below is the link to her new song) I realize that the music industry is not just about good artists playing good music; many shows and individuals make a lot of money off of being horrible. America loves to hear these people and just laugh at them. A few years ago there was a contestant on American Idol that made millions of his awful and horrible singing. He even made a CD and had a record deal. In fact, American Idol specifically looks for awful singers to get their ratings up. With this being said, does Rebecca Black take it too far?
Rebecca Black is a young thirteen-year-old girl who gained widespread attention after her single “Friday” was released on you tube. I can not help but mention this similar scenario to teen pop sensation Justin Bieber who was discovered through you tube videos. Rebecca Black has said that she wanted to be the next Justin Beiber and with this single she is far away from that goal. It boggles my mind that a record company actually produced this song. Is the industry trying to push our limits to see how far we can take something like this and make it popular? Where will we come to a point where we realize that this girl is making millions at our expense and that this awful music should not be tolerated? Is the music industry really trying to say that they control us, and what we listen to. Do they determine what we believe is good music, worthy of hearing. That we Americans stupefy ourselves to follow the trend. Is the joke on us? I bring these questions to our attention because it is up for you to decide..,

Is she to blame? Or the Entertainment Industry?
