If This Doesn't Make You Sad...

Hey! I found this video on YouTube, and I can honestly say it almost made me cry. This video is all about Demi Lovato's struggle with bullying. I had no idea how much she had been through! WATCH THIS VIDEO! <3

Why Rebecca Black Doesn't Deserve the Hate

I don't blame you if you think I'm weird for saying this. But after seeing Rebecca Black's "My Moment", I honestly don't think that Rebecca Black is worthy of the hate she's been getting. True, I did write a post before this about why Rebecca Black should be hated. True, in Top Ten Week, we did a Top 10 Reasons to Hate Rebecca Black. I can see how I might look like one of the haters. For a while I was. But after seeing "My Moment", and some of her interviews on YouTube, I came to the realization that Rebecca Black is just an ordinary thirteen year old girl.

After "Friday" debuted, people dubbed Rebecca as "The Worst Singer in the World". Okay, seriously? The "Worst Singer in the World"? Um, I watch American Idol, and trust me. Some of the singers you hear on that show are way, way, WAY worse than Rebecca Black. And honestly, Rebecca Black isn't too bad. I mean, sure, I've heard better singers, but she's not absolutely horrible.

Also, Rebecca Black was just a girl with a dream. (Sorry for sounding cliche.) Some people say that the only reason she got onto YouTube was because she's a spoiled brat, but that's not true. In her interview on the Jay Leno show, she says the reason she even made a music video was because she's really into music, so her friend recommended her to Ark Music, a record label geared towards teens. She never said that she begged her parents to let her make a music video so she could become a superstar, which is what some people think.

And another thing, the song "Friday" wasn't even Rebecca's idea. She didn't come up with the lyrics. Ark Music sent them to her. Originally, Ark Music had sent her a song about being a guy's superhero, but Rebecca didn't really want to do that song since she's only thirteen and felt too young to be singing about a topic like that. So then, Ark Music sent her "Friday", and Rebecca felt a lot more comfortable with those lyrics. People are criticizing Rebecca Black and sending her hate messages because they think   "Friday" is stupid. But--news flash people!--you can't say that because Rebecca Black didn't even write the song.

And another thing, Rebecca Black is just a normal teenager. Imagine being a thirteen year old receiving hate messages like the ones she's been receiving. Rebecca's actually had to remove "Friday" from the internet because of all the horrible comments she's gotten. I would too, if I were in her shoes.

I actually kind of respect Rebecca Black for how she's dealt with all the hate. I mean, if I was in her shoes and I was the one receiving all those horrible messages, and hearing all those awful things said about me, I'd be pretty depressed. But Rebecca Black actually seems to be dealing with all the hate pretty well.

I honestly don't think Rebecca Black should be treated the way she has been. The things people have said about her have been pretty cruel. Haven't you ever heard the saying: "If you can't say anything nice, don't say it at all"? (Excuse me for sounding like a goody-goody.) I think this saying goes for Rebecca Black's situation. Come on people. Is Rebecca Black really worthy of all the hate?

My Moment!

Rebecca Black has released her new single! It's called "My Moment". I really like it! This may sound a little strange coming from me, but in reality I think this song is built on something. All good songs are built around emotions! Her first song, "Friday" wasn't built on emotions, but it was built on what she did on a Friday morning! I think this song was built on how she felt after being pushed to the limits after "Friday". It talks about how people told her she couldn't do the things she wants to but how she pushed through all that to become one of the top rated people on YouTube.

[Rebecca Black]
Were you the one who said that I would be nothing
Well, I'm about to prove you wrong
I'm not the only one who believes in something
My one wish is about to come true

I'm not stopping for you
No matter what you do
I'll just keep on dreaming
My head up in the clouds when nobody is around to see...

[Chorus]
This is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment

It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment

[Rebecca Black]
You knew it all along, I was afraid of you
I thought I couldn't be myself
You tried to be my friend
But I wouldn't let you
Remember what you said
Don't miss out on your chance
Your life is in your hands
So take it just as far as you can
But trusting in youself, forget everyone else


Believe...

[Chorus]
This is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment

It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows

[Bridge]
Haters, said I'll see you later
Can't talk to you right now
I'm getting my paper
Said I'm doing big things
Things you never dreamed of
I hope you are happy cause I'm 'bout to blow up

[Chorus]
This is my moment, my moment
It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment

It's my time, flying high, lime, mine
Feels like my moment, my moment
I've waited for so long
But now everybody knows this is my moment, my moment

Ke$ha Can Sing!

This just in! Ke$ha can sing! I was surfing the internet and came across a song of hers called Goodbye. This is what her un-autotuned voice sounds like. I have to admit, her "real" voice is actually kinda pretty. If only she sang like that more often, rather than her usual robotic, autotuned, so-called "singing".

If you want to hear the "real" Ke$ha, YouTube: Ke$ha Goodbye Lyrics, and click on either the first or second video that comes up. You will be amazed at the talent that this artist has!

Justin Bieber Perfume

Mr. Justin Drew Bieber has come out with a perfume. It's called "Someday By Justin Bieber". A million jokes just popped into my head, but I'm going to hold back and continue. The slogan for said perfume is, "Never let go with the new fragrance for her that gives back." Well that's just great. The Biebs is telling twelve year old girls to wear a perfume that will make seventeen year olds, "never let go". of them. That my friend is pedophilia and is frowned upon in EVERY society.

I have smelt the perfume, and it does have a nice floral and fruity scent. I do like the scent of it, but it smells I little to old for me. The majority of Justin Bieber fans are from the ages 5 - 14 years of age. I have actually talked to six year olds who are "in love" with him, but they don't wear perfume. I'm fourteen and I don't like perfume, but it's 68$CA and that is expensive even for a fourteen year old that wears perfume.

It's very summery, and it seems to be a hit. I want you to leave a comment saying your thoughts about the Justin Bieber perfume line.

London Tipton vs Paris Hilton

It's a well-known fact that Disney's London Tipton from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, and The Suite Life on Deck is a spoof of Paris Hilton. For those of you who don't believe me, let me give you a list of reasons:

1. They both own hotels
2. They both have little doggies
3. They're both stupid
4. They're fathers both married multiple times
5. They're both rich
6. Their first names are also names of European cities

But there are quite a few differences:
1. London is slightly more educated than Paris
2. Because London is a Disney character, she is "cleaner" than Paris
3. London has smart friends (Maddie)


Do you need any more proof than that?

The Future is Now!

The future is now! Well, the future of our blogging, anyways. Emma and I have decided to begin Phase 2 of our co-blogging adventure. We've started another shared blog called "Parodie'd". We're basically parodying popular songs and posting them on the internet. We've already made parodies for "California Gurls" by Katy Perry, "Friday" by Rebecca Black, and I'm currently working on a new parody for "Telephone" by Lady Gaga. You can check them out by going to: www.ehparodied.blogspot.com  
If you like that blog (I don't know why you wouldn't), then click the follow button. You don't need to have your own blog to be able to follow. You don't even need to give us your real identity if you don't want to. Just click the button if you like the blog. It's simple.

Since we have started a new shared blog, we will probably be devoting a lot more time to it. It's likely that we won't be posting here at the Wall as consistently as we usually do, but don't worry. We'll still try to give you the lowdown here once or twice a week.

Welcome to the future of our blogging. We hope that this is going to be fun for both us--the writers--and for you, the readers.
