How do you ignore all the negative jokes directed at you and your video? Has it changed how you view people in general? Did it ever really hurt or are you able to push it to the side?

honesty i don't get offended by the jokes but they do get old because i've heard them all like it's been 3 and a half years, and not really but i did realize how creatively mean some people can be lol

I just used my Nazi alt account to talk to her about the protection of white culture.

You also asked her if she wants to do porn. I think that's a little creepier.

What's the best and worst thing that's happened because of your fame? Would you do the video again if you had the chance?
itsrebeccablack31 karma
the worst thing would have to be the death threats and harassment but the best thing is that i've met soooo many cool people and made a lot more friends because of it and i have so many advantages and i'm so thankful for all of it and that outshines all the hate

after i'm done with school i plan on making more (better) music but also college

Do you legitimately feel any different on any specific day of the week? Personally I know mondays make me feel just great.

At what point did you figure out it was best just to roll with the attention the video was getting?

Hmm I have one and only one question...
Do you feel differently towards Friday than any other day, being the fact that you received much hate about the song etc, or does it not really matter?

When you made the song did you have any idea how much of an impact it would make on our culture at that time?

How do you deal with the negativity of your song? Have you thought about making another one to "make up" for Friday? No offense, I'm just curious!
itsrebeccablack8 karma
the negativity doesn't bother me anymore and i do have a couple of other songs, and when i finish school i plan on making more. anD THEY'LL BE GOOD THIS TIME I PROMISE
itsrebeccablack11 karma
At first i got bullied a lot tbh but now everything's cool and i get along with a lot more people than before the video and no one ever says anything mean but on fridays i always get asked what day it is

Do you think making that video helped or hindered your attempt at making yourself a respectable career as a musician/youtuber? Has it provided opportunities that you think might not have otherwise happened?
itsrebeccablack5 karma
some things people were saying were RUTHLESS no lie but i had fun making it and didn't let it effect me to much and of course i love fries

If you were to go to the mall every day for a week, would you be recognized as Rebecca Black more often than not?
Also do you plan on continuing your education after HS or continuing your music?

Hi, Rebecca! I've greatly enjoyed seeing your journey to becoming a successful YouTuber! I was hoping to be able to come to your panel at VidCon about suddenly being a star, but the line cutoff didn't allow me to get in. I recently had one of my own videos go viral, so I've been wanting to ask...
What advice you would give to someone on how to handle their social life after suddenly having a lot of exposure? I know when you suddenly became famous overnight, you got teased a lot at school, but I'm sure you were treated differently by many your friends as well. Looking back, was there anything in particular that you felt you handled well or feel like you could have done better?
Thanks for being an inspiration that people can make lemonade from lemons on the biggest of scales!
itsrebeccablack5 karma
First off, thank you so much! and my advice for someone who suddenly got a lot of exposure is- brace yourself. It's going to be WEIRD. you're going to be stopped by random people for a picture or even walking down the hall at school and don't listen to any negative comments because i promise you that it really does not matter what they have to say and they're just wasting they're time to try to get on your nerves so keep that beautiful chin up! but honestly my friends were pretty chill about it, no different treatment. and i wouldn't change a thing.
