Opening with the line, "I'm about to prove you wrong," Rebecca Black's latest single does its best to carve a permanent place in the industry for the young talent. Ultimately, the question remains whether Black will be remembered as a one-hit wonder or whether she'll continue to build a following.
For the uninitiated, Rebecca Black is the 14-year-old pop sensation whose music video, bankrolled by her doting father, enjoyed the limelight of the Internet. For a cool $4,000, Rebecca had a market-ready song written, a video produced and the attention of the world directed at her. What started off as YouTubers ridiculing the content of her music soon developed into press circus. Soon enough, no one knew whether Rebecca Black was famous because her music was great or because it was a tad too original.
Lest confusion persist, 'My Moment' has dropped and intends to put doubts to rest with Rebecca's touching singing and powerful presence -- or so audiences are told. Take a look and judge for yourselves!
