I found this one under the carpet. Someone had swept it under. Possibly she herself. If you don’t know this face, you’re in luck. You’ll get to experience it all anew. Click here.

E: Also, this exists.

    I actually feel really bad for her. She was a child. She didn’t know what she was doing. And sure, it’s a bad song, but is it bad enough for her to deserve PTSD? For her to deserve being hounded and haunted her whole life? She’s a human being, after all.

      Have you checked out her recent music? She even “remastered” Friday. It’s fantastic, she is the truest embodiment of the word girlboss

      Like, the music video was a birthday present to her, and was published by the producer. Iirc she didn’t even make any money from it

    Recently I listened to it after a decade of hiatus. It actually aged well and cemented my thought that “old songs are better” are part nostalgia, part changing tastes.

      Her career has turned truly interesting. She gained unintentional fame for doing a music video as a birthday present from her parents that was produced by a production company that boardered on exploitative. She for bullied online somewhat constantly from then on for something she really hadn’t asked for everyone to see, and has since reclaimed her image and that song and is now comfortably paying the bills making pop songs

      To me it’s no better or worse than anything on radio. At least this song is memorable and fun. Which is already better than half the shite out there. Glad she was able to own it and triumph over the bullying. (From the looks of it)

      Yeah it’s not the best song in the world but it’s catchy and kinda fun. I can definitely see why some people would say it’s annoying but there’s a reason it went viral.
