Demi's 'Skyscraper' Rises, Black's 'Moment' Falls


How could this piece of info. slip my mind? Attention everyone! Remember waaay back when a young 14-year old Rebecca Black hit YouTube with her critically slammed song 'Friday'? Looks like that, despite the hate, she's back with an all-new song. Her new song's entitled 'My Moment' and, based on the title of the article posted in the link, it's great. Do you think so?

Summary of the Song from Link: “My Moment” is a song about Rebecca’s rocky road to stardom. Not everyone was instantly sold on the teenager’s vocals, and the lyrics of “Friday” were certainly also to target, forcing Rebecca to face seriously cruel criticism in the form of YouTube comments."

Mini-Review: The song sounds like it's on repeat a few times such as the repetitiveness of 'my moment' as if audiences couldn't tell the name of the song by the article and by hearing it once/twice. Also, does anyone think about this video when listening to the music? It sounds very familiar. (see below) The music could also be a remixed version of the background music from Black's first song. Either way, looks like Ark Factory learned a lot from Linkin Park and Nickelback when creating these tunes.

 
For a girl Rebecca's age, the lyrics are also a bit juvenile. "Haters said 'I'll see you later'" is one example of a lyric that was quickly written in a quick hurry. It was made to attract her age demographic due to how the kids talk these days , however, the song should have needed lyrics that are a bit stronger and expressed more of Black's growth and determination to make it in the music industry. Demi Lovato, on the other hand, has already taken the world by storm with her new single 'Skyscraper' which is at number nine on the Top Singles chart on iTunes but describes her life post her treatment of bipolar disorder. Perhaps Black can take pointers from Ms. Lovato and not just to have a life-changing struggle to inspire her. Maybe it's not a bad idea.

Here's Lovato's 'Skyscraper'!
