Songwriter/producer Patrice Wilson has really outdone himself this time. ‘Skip Rope’ by Tweenchronic is maybe not as annoying as last year’s ‘It’s Thanksgiving,’Â but it’s definitely crazier. (Also, Patrice Wilson put on a giant chicken costume for that one.) This time around a little boy stands on a corner and acts like a drug dealer, only [...]

Nicole Westbrook is poised to corner the Thanksgiving music market. Her song ‘It’s Thanksgiving’ is here just in time to ruin the holiday.

She found her way into the ears and hearts of millions around the world with her surprise viral hit ‘Friday,’ and now Rebecca Black is mingling with music’s best at the Grammy Awards.

A new Rick Perry ad in which the Texas governor and presidential hopeful laments that gays can serve openly in the military but kids can’t pray in school hasn’t recieved the YouTube reception his campaing was hoping for.

Benni Cinkle didn’t want to go through life just being known as the pink-shirted girl dancing awkwardly in Rebecca Black‘s viral music video ‘Friday.’ So Cinkle has made her own video, and one with a socially conscious message: It addresses teen issues like eating disorders and cutting.

Pop diva Katy Perry had a surprise for those attending her Nokia Theater concert in LA last week: a duet with special guest Rebecca Black. It was a Friday night, of course.

Shauna Wright — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 21:38:28 +0000

Rebecca Black, as you’ll recall, is the auto-tuned teenager who endured months of criticism and parody when her amateur pop single ‘Friday‘ and its accompanying video went viral, racking up 167 million views on YouTube and countless parodies.

To make sure she strikes while the fleeting iron of fame is hot, the beleaguered 14-year-old is back with a much-anticipated follow-up. It’s called ‘My Moment’ and the music video is semi-autobiographical, showing clips of her life since ‘Friday’ took off earlier this year. The single will drop on iTunes tomorrow and Black will release a 5-track EP next month.
