It’s not as if Rebecca Black set out to create comedy genius with the video for “Friday”, but we were expecting something a bit more winky-winky and entertaining and than what we get in the video for her humorless follow-up single “My Moment.” Sadly, Rebecca sings about her “moment” (aka her extended 15 minutes of fame), and not the order of the months of the year. Video below.
Though the conundrum of which seat to take boggled her mind in “Friday”, here Rebecca doesn’t think twice about choosing to sit in the back seat of a stretch limo.
Rebecca is a cute girl, has loads of personality, and as evidenced by her Katy Perry video cameo, at least some comedic timing. Why doesn’t she use her Internet fame to launch a comedy acting career instead of desperately attempting to become a genuine pop star? (Surely there’s an upcoming Lea Michele movie that requires her to have a little sister or a 13-year-old version of herself during a flashback?) Her transition from punchline to genuine recording artist needs at least a few more steps before we take Rebecca’s moment seriously.
