In an interview with Australian newspaper, Daily Telegraph, Hanna Montana star Miley Cyrus has criticized the overnight success of Rebecca Black.
Miley Cyrus on Rebecca Black
Miley told the newspaper in an interview that just putting a video on YouTube should not make one go on tour. Rebecca Black‘s video for her song, Friday (watch it above), has now been viewed more than 69 million times on YouTube as of writing today. This is mostly due to the buzz the 13-year-old Black has received from media coverage.
The video for Friday has been mentioned in almost every major news network and that is sure to get everyone’s attention. Everyone is writing about her and suddenly everyone wants to see this video that is making so much noise. As of today the video has received over 1,240,000 comments, however most of the comments are in the negative with many people calling the video and song the worst they have ever seen. Also the video has been liked 164,981 times and disliked 1,351,479 times. It appears many people just don’t like the video and song.
And Miley Cyrus seems to agree with the majority of people watching the video. According Cyrus, it should be harder for one to become an artist and posting a video on YouTube should not be the way to become one.
Justin Bieber also rose to fame by posting a video on YouTube and Miley seems disgusted by much of what the internet has to offer. In the interview, Miley Cyrus said she does not Tweet or social network at all. She said she tries to stay away from it all. She said she already complained about not having enough privacy so putting herself out there on the internet will seem silly and hypocritical.
Despite not mentioning Justin Bieber in her interview, many people view her remark about internet sensations as also an attack on him.
A read around the celebrity blogs reveal opinions about Cyrus’ comments are split. Some people seem to think Miley also never took the hard way to becoming a sensation. Those against her comments say she became famous just because of her dad and should therefore not talk about taking the hard way to stardom.
Miley also dropped a hint in her interview with the Australian newspaper that she might not be single any longer. In the interview, Miley said she will not be touring Australia as a single woman. Rumors are that she is dating an unnamed British Actor. Tell us what you think of the Rebecca Black’s singing and her video.
