For those of you unfamiliar with the name Rebecca Black, she is a grade 8 student and the latest overnight teen music sensation. Her current song and video "Friday" is among iTunes top 40 and her video has been viewed close to 40 million times on YouTube. The controversy surrounding her fame, is the negative comments and criticism she has endured. While she has conceded that she has "some talent" and uses voice enhancing technology, is her harsh treatment by some justified? Her music style is not on my playlist, but it is hard to believe that anyone could comment "You should cut yourself". I wonder what negative feedback like this does to a developing teen. This negative press will certainly translate into greater fame and monetary compensation, but at what price. Do you see her a victim of cyberbully or her and her parents as business savvy salesmen? Should there be limits on what people can post on the YouTube?
