Winning Losers Phenomenon

FRIDAY - REBECCA BLACK

I just recently found out about this song, which came out not too long ago. it has spread far and wide and sure made her famous, and its not hard to understand why.

The thing about this song is that it is so exceedingly bad that it actually becomes amusing... and to some extent even entertaining.

The video is lame and low quality. Her singing is atrocious, sounding like a duck being strangled. And the worst of all is the lyrics; which either:

doesnt make sense

I got this, you got this

My friend is by my right

I got this, you got this

Now you know it

has no link

Gotta make my mind up

Which seat can I take?

It’s Friday, Friday.....

is totally unnecessary

Yesterday was Thursday

Today it-is Friday

Tomorrow is Saturday

And Sunday comes after...wards

or is just plain dumb!

Gotta have my bowl, gotta have cereal (lol)

We-we-we so excited

We so excited

We gonna have a ball today

Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)

Partyin’, partyin’ (Yeah)

Fun, fun, fun, fun

Lookin’ forward to the weekend

So after watching the video just once for the first time and listening to the lyrics, i felt half my brain cells were wanting to die right there. The only thing i could say was, "oh my gosh... this is just sooo bad!..."

As one comment on the video goes, "no words are enough to describe how bad this song is..." But the next thing i did was - watch it again! as if it didnt kill enough brain cells...

Sure, she has a like:dislike ratio of 1:9 and has endless hate comments spammed on her video, but in the end she has the last laugh earning big bucks because people all over the world are flocking in to get a taste of the dumbest song ever.

Looks like we are entering a new generation for the music and videos industry. Young wannabes making it big by being so bad at it that they become famous. There was Justin Bieber, and now heres Rebecca Black, perhaps following his footsteps, and surpassing him many times over. And i shouldnt be hating them at all - these people actually make the world a better place! they provide much entertainment value, and great inspiration for parodies on their songs. Just like how Bieber's Baby inspired Banelings...

Unfortunately we wont expect much covers to be made on this song. It is too horrible to be saved. Never mind if the singing is bad, someone else with better singing could do a cover. But now the lyrics are bad, so even the best singer singing it would sound like an idiot. The only way to make a better version is to do a parody.... and im sure there will be many more to come!

One Six Three

Its time i updated. i would not say i never have the time - i have 2 days every week out of camp and it has been that way without fail ~ no confinements, that is. i could easily spare the time if i wanted to. But the fact that i have not been updating despite having some time just shows that life has been pretty monotonous.

its been 6 weeks into my ADWO course in 163 squadron, estimated graduation in 21st april. this date is already been pushed back from the initial early april, and would push later even more if there continues to be the shortage of instructors and/or equipment - something that has been causing lots of disruptions in my training these few weeks, wasting lots of time, during which i can only sit in the hangar and stare into space. No books allowed. no entertainment. no sleeping either. In these kind of scenarios do i wish the training was more on the ball!

Following the principle of progressive training, physical training has been climbing in intensity each day, and has of now reached 12 sets of 3 chin ups every time before meals + lots of static exercises. our muscles season only to get strained to a higher level. we are plagued by permanent aches. All these physical training, accompanied with a generous/slack medical office leads to a phenomenon of the growing 'status party', which lately has been even bigger than the participating party - i.e. more than half of the course reports sick or is excused from physical activity!

Though the course of the days has been monotonous, the social factors surely isnt. cliques have formed and are hardening up, but interactions still very much occur with fellows outside the comfortable circle. Attitudes also have changed, and some shifting takes place. We continue to learn more about each other every day, and even more about those we interact with often. Unfortunately for me it has not been so good to be well known - for my towel, shirt, and underwear episodes!

Still, no malice i see among this 'family' of 30, unlike how it was in BMT. i know it can never be as bad.
