She's never heard of Rebecca Black but respects her for what she's doing.

YASSS I knew it Queens stan for Queens

-_- she doesnt even know her !

oh now that u changed the tittle, it makes sense

OMFG
She loves my queen

Please GaGa. You know she is not a genius.

Oh please, im sure she checks twitter everyday, she must know who Rebecca Black is.

Well I would say the same if this girl would told me the same story. But GaGa was misinformed.
She thought Rebecca wrote it by herself, made the video by herself, uploaded It and then It became this viral hit.

THAT would be genius.

GaGa didn't know that theres a label behind this.

Yeah I changed it. Defend is better word to describe the video.

My god people... sit the hell down... GaGa respects anyone who is brave enough to do what they love and who stands up for what they believe in, regardless of the criticism they face. If you don't understand that about GaGa, you don't have any place criticizing her statement. There is ALWAYS a contextual explanation behind every statement, yet so often people here just assume each statement is an individual and non-connected bit that should only be critiqued as is... Wrong... You have to understand the place GaGa's message was coming from. Then, and only then, you'd realize what GaGa was saying. But no... too many people with plugs in their ears and blindfolds over their eyes. Wake up... Start taking the time to see the world for what it really is, and stop living in a world of ignorant fantasy.

Despite the world being obsessed with her, Rebecca took a second to respond

Did you hear what Lady Gaga said about you?

I haven’t.

When your video was explained to her along with all the Internet fame and occasional haters, she said, ““I say Rebecca Black is a genius and anyone telling her she’s cheesy is full of it.”

That’s so cool! I feel so star-struck, even though I haven’t met her. It’s so surreal, it’s so crazy. I was just listening to “Born this Way.” I really love all of her songs, I have almost every song of hers on my iPod and I think she’s really a lyrical genius. Her songs are just so upbeat and fun and catchy.

It's not that damn serious bro.

What exactly is Rebecca Black standing up for? God-awful music?

Thanks for the advice. I'll live my life my way though, thanks. As a GaGa stan that should be something you respect and appreciate. After all, it is GaGa's own message to the world.

Edit: I'm not here to take things too seriously. However, everyone else is giving their two sense as well. Can't knock me for being a little more passionate about where I'm coming from or for putting a little more though into what I'm saying than some others have.

She's standing up against ignorance. Her song isn't the primary subject of scrutiny, it's Rebecca herself. How she behaves while so many people are attacking her, sending insensitive messages, and being just plain evil, is what is defining her, and that is what makes her brave. Just because you're not the one under attack by the public eye doesn't mean you shouldn't take the time to imagine how Rebecca must feel. Is she a musical genius? Probably not. But is she brave? You bet your ass she is.

She's a 13 year old girl, who got a recording contract and did a song. There is NOTHING brave about that. And she is not standing up for ignorance at all. She's an untalented, extremely lucky girl who got a recording contract and released a video with a label behind it all.

You can tell that she dont know rebecca!

You're shifting the focus in the wrong direction. You're right, there's nothing brave about a 13 year old girl getting a recording contract and doing a song, but that's not what I said made her brave... Fallacious reasoning isn't cute. I'm all for a good debate, and I see where you're coming from, but your argument is founded in 100% resentment.

You say she's untalented, you say she's extremely lucky, you say she's not brave, but you haven't backed any of those up. You have one song to go by, and you neglect to take note of her responses to the comments she's received telling her to kill herself, and the decision to donate the proceeds of the song to the Japanese relief effort... or did you even know about that? Come on PopBoi... You're taking too much liberty in simplifying the matter at hand.

"Friday" has become about so much more than a "cheesy" song. It's a story about that "unlucky, untalented, 13 year old girl" you're mentioning. Who's to say Rebecca is deserving or not? Certainly not you, and certainly not me. Rebecca shot into the public eye, and regardless of the reasoning behind it, or how people feel about it, that doesn't change the truth.
