In just one week, Rebecca Black has gone from a virtually unknown aspiring pop star to a household name — she’s even managed to replace Charlie Sheen as a Twitter trending topic. While her low budget tween fest music video “Friday” has over 16 million views (and counting) on YouTube, the response hasn’t all been positive. How has the 13-year-old singer been handling the instafame and backlash? Below Ark Music Factory’s brightest star opens up to the Orange County Register and Good Morning America, and let’s just say she won’t be “gettin’ down” because of the haters out there.

We’re impressed by Rebecca’s grounded approach to dealing with online bullying. Let’s face it, if she can brush off harsh criticism while just starting out, she might have a long career ahead of her.

We only wish the Register had asked the songstress’ to settle her song’s philosophical question once and for all: which seat will she take? Front seat or back seat?

Here’s the musical calendar on Good Morning America as well this Friieeee-daaaay, Friiiieee-daaaay morning, where she asks Justin Bieber to do a duet with her. (Keep dreaming, honey. Chris Brown might be down, though!)
“‘This song is the worst song I ever heard, even deaf people are complaining,’” the GMA reporter says right to Rebecca’s face, reading some Internet complaints of her song. “‘I will never get this song out of my head, OMG.’”

“I consider that an accomplishment,” says the infinitely sunny Rebecca. This girl is maybe the most optimistic person we’ve ever seen.
