The 13-year-old was heavily criticised for her Auto-Tuned vocals on Friday and performed a special unplugged version on Good Morning America in a bid to show music fans that she could sing without the help of technology.

She also confessed to being a huge Justin Bieber fan and begged the Canadian star for a duet.

He replied by tweeting: 'Sunday comes after Saturday? Weird.'

But X Factor star Simon Cowell has confessed that he's a big fan of Black's song Friday.

He told Entertainment Weekly: 'I think it’s genius. The fact that everyone’s getting upset about it is hysterical.'
