Rebecca Black to Justin Bieber: ‘Would you do a duet with me?’

Rebecca Black to Justin Bieber: ‘Would you do a duet with me?’



We can only imagine having the jet-set lifestyle of Justin Bieber can lead to some confusion. “What city am I playing in tonight,” he must ask himself. Or, “What day of the week is it?”

Well, Biebz, there’s a girl who can help you out with that: Rebecca Black. Perhaps you’ve heard of her, or at least her song Friday, the viral video sensation that Time magazine called “a whole new level of bad” — and which is at the No. 31 spot on iTunes (as of writing).

Black, 13, recently granted her first interviews since going from obscurity to Charlie Sheen-ousting Twitter trending topic. And in a sit-down with Good Morning America, the eighth grader said she wants at least one good thing to come out of her rash of exposure. Apparently Black is hoping and wishing to duet with Justin Bieber.

Black made the following comments to GMA on Friday (the day after Thursday):

“I have Bieber fever — I am in love with Justin Bieber,” Black confessed on the show, before being asked if she had a message for her idol. “Justin, if you’re watching this right now, would you do a duet with me? That would be unreal, that would just make my life!”

Black’s full interview with GMA might prove a little more palatable. The segment, much like her initial interview with The Daily Beast, features Black explaining how she’s coping with being Internet infamous. In the Daily Beast article, Black likened the snark generated by Friday to “being cyberbullied” — and she opened up further to GMA.

“I did cry,” Black admitted on GMA, explaining how she initially reacted to the backlash against her song, particularly the vicious YouTube comments. “I felt like this was my fault, and I shouldn’t have done this, and this is all because of me.” That said, Black says she’s stayed more-or-less positive about the reaction to Friday, and is still a confident kid. “I don’t think I’m the worst singer, but I don’t think I’m the best singer,” Black said in the GMA interview.
