Rebecca Black Could Be the New Ke$ha

Rebecca Black rode a firework to fame with the horrible Youtube song sensation "Friday." However, just because this teenager is accused by many of making one of the worst songs ever, don't stop the clock at the fifteen minute mark just yet. There is hope for this young songbird wannabe, one just has to look at current pop star Ke$ha to see where Rebecca Black could go if she wants.

The song "Friday" is awful. It was funny when Jimmy Fallon and Stephen Colbert covered it on Fallon's show, along with American Idol alumni Taylor Hicks, but other than that the song is as bad as everyone says it is. So, why the heck did everyone keep paying to download the dang thing? Lyrics and generic pop arrangement aside, Rebecca Black's singing voice is very nasally; not pretty by any means. But I can't just sit her and make fun of her and say she is irrelevant to the music scene because there are older successful artist making moolah left and right at the same game.

The Conan O'Brien show had the singer Ke$ha performing at an outdoor concert stage. I was aware of who Ke$ha was and had seen her music videos prior to this. She's the drunken less lady and less Ga version of Lady Gaga, right? Before Conan, however, I had never actually heard Ke$ha singing without the in studio production values in place. Her voice was extremely nasally and reminded me of someone else who I could not think of right away, but then it dawned on me: Ke$ha sounds just like Rebecca Black.

A duet between Ke$ha and Rebecca Black would probably have the same effect on a person as a hungry mutant mosquito would, that is to say deafening via high whiny drone and then blood draining death.

If Ke$ha is going to get away with nasally, half-talk not really singing as a style then Rebecca Black doesn't have to aim too much higher than she has already gone to make a real career out of her singing. Slap on some bird feathers, forty layers of blue eyeshadow, plug in the microphone, and you've got a hit pop single! I'm just saying, if you're going to hate on one, hate them all, because the vocal world of pop music is not as ear friendly as the dance beats anymore.
