The singer talks about the vicious online bullying she endured after becoming a viral sensation at just 13 years old. “I became unbelievably depressed,” Black said.

I hope she sells 100 million CDs/Vinyl Records.
Let's be honest. We all took part in hating on that song and Rebecca Black. Granted, lots of us did it without death threats, but it's not like we did any better by drowning the YouTube comments and social media with our, quite frankly, hurtful words.
The backlash of Friday would be a non-story if you news broadcast types listened to good music…duh
Her mom is pretty hawt!
Rebecca, easy for me to write not living through your hell but please do your best to put the bad in a box, bury it and send it out to the universe to get lost..
She shouldn't take the crap seriously. People have a short memory and they just get excited over bullshit, it's human nature. Bullying is part of human nature. For lovely Rebecca living a happy life is the best revenge.
I remember back in high school I was eating lunch. Then I heard a girl say Friday Friday they're singing that part. When they were talking about that someone said they just literally heard that song. Not a bad song I heard about it back in 2011 which was the best year of my life. The first version I ever heard of Friday was the one more in The Annoying Orange singing parody of it called Fryday. To be honest no one deserves to go through what she went through. I deal with constant anxiety so I know what she's going through I got death threats I went through what she went through. I used to be depressed a lot back in like high school I'm not depressed anymore. I just think anxiety is worse but I feel bad for Rebecca. I have tried committing suicide before back in 2014 cuz I was unhappy and back in the middle school cuz I got bullied all the time. I guess I was due to my disability of having autism. Rebecca does not deserve all that crap I thought that song was kind of catchy. I think maybe people were jealous of her because that sound became a hit and then they probably got pissed off maybe. I think the reason I let the boy and get to me is because I'm autistic and I was an easy target back in school. I know what Rebecca is going to have gotten death threats. Like I said before an sutism one person said you need to die cuz I think I'll retards needs to die in that's really hurt phone people don't understand sometimes. I just wanted to say Rebecca does not deserve this no one does you know people matter in this life.
I feel so bad for her really. She was a very cute girl, but her childhood was destroyed. I believe she will be great in the futures.
her music now actually slaps
imagine hating on a kid

BEST SINGER IN THE WORLD !!!
The song was AWFUL it took me 10 years to prepare my ears for the assault, but DEATH THREATS???? WTF??? That's what's truly awful! Good for her that she's ok!
love the way Internet dwellers are always warning anyone about rampant pedophilia that they're sure is ongoing, but the same people will verbally abuse, ridicule, shame or even toss out death threats to children without a second thought
This song is bad, but you don't have to criticize her.
She got to star in Katy Perry’s Last Friday Night video…that’s awesome in itself. No need to feel depressed.
Man, she is gorgeous.
So was that guy in all these vids a predator or something? He skeevs me out.
It's funny that the likelihood is that all these people who are saying that she didn't deserve the slack, the incessant insults and death threats are probably the same people who did exactly that back in 2013 when her song, Friday, came out. I remember when people hated on Justin Bieber in the infancy of his career for no apparent reason as well. The internet troll is a cancer and a vermin of the highest order.
They could neva😎
Glad to see she came out of it a better/stronger person. Kudos.
Greetings from Israel 🇮🇱🇺🇸
it wasnt even that awful of a song, people are fucking horrible
Fucking glow up wtf ðŸ˜ÂÂ
She should have given up her music career…it would have been the best for her psychologically and emotionally. Anything less than real authentic success at this point is going to continue feeding the negativity that has Surrounded her. She needs redeeming success. Otherwise this will hunt her for a very long time and she’s never going to feel successful.
