Rebecca Black proves she has a great sense of humor with a couple of her latest YouTube videos.
In February of 2011, ARK Music Factory released the music video for Rebecca Black’s single “Friday.” At first, it received about 3,000 views on YouTube, but the numbers skyrocketed after it appeared on the Tosh.0 blog and elsewhere on the internet. It now sits with over 61 million views.
On Black Friday, Rebecca released a video titled “Rebecca Black Reacts to ‘Friday’,” which is pretty self-explanatory. She says in her video that she wanted to do something special for Black Friday – for obvious reasons – so she decided to film her reaction to the music video for her song, “Friday.” Overall, she seemed a bit embarrassed – but not ashamed – of her 14-year-old self. The video has gotten over 2 million views within the past week.
On the Dec. 7, Rebecca Black – with Dave Days, a fellow YouTube star and musician – released a music video for their single, “Saturday.” Rebecca continues her Friday shenanigans by waking up at 2p.m., grabbing a bowl of cereal (again), and hitting the road in the backseat of a car with a bunch of friends (again).
The video and lyrics are quite clearly of better quality than Rebecca’s first hit – but the best part is that she’s able to poke fun at herself. The lyrics and a number of props for the video allude to her last single and its accompanying video. The video also includes a few nods to bigger pop stars like Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez.
The “Saturday” video is already viral, with more than 10 million views in two days.
