After receiving a barrage of unmerciful and even hostile comments for what many are basically calling a "so bad it's good" music video, most 13-year-olds would crawl under a rock and hope to die.
But not Rebecca Black who is fighting back with true grit in a positive, humorous and inspirational way. Hopefully, other teenagers will benefit in their own personal lives through her example.
Instead of withering up in a corner, the teenager from California whose parents paid for her video music production of a song called "Friday" via Ark Music Factory, is producing another song called "LOL".Black even teamed up with the website Funny Or Die to poke fun (click here) at her music video and the lyrics which she jokingly states have much deeper meaning and symbolism than initially understood.
The teenager has the support of people like Lady Gaga who called her a "genius" and even Justin Bieber who sang snippets from "Friday" for his fans.
Also proving both maturity and class in something that might otherwise destroy sensitive teens, Black is donating the proceeds from her "Friday" song to help victims in Japan, and to her school.
Said Black, "My school, El Rancho Charter is really where I started focusing on singing. I feel bad. Japan happened so close to mine, and I feel like I'm taking away attention from it. I really just want to give back."
Thus even if you've found the whole Rebecca Black incident (or debacle, depending on your view) amusing, then you've got to at least give it to her for showing true audacity and mettle for getting right back out there when most would not.
