"It's Thanksgiving"

Remember that song "Friday" that had everyone ready to slit their wrists last year? Here's the next big thing - "It's Thanksgiving," by Nicole Westbrook. Clearly, the music industry took a good look at itself and decided that there just aren't enough preteens making records.

My favorite moment is at 1:45.

What a stupid song..Sorry lol

Everyone is looking to become the next Justin Bieber. I can't believe they actually stretched that out to over 3 minutes.

Yeah,everyone wants to be rich and famous....Tho its not has annoying has friday song

Oh MY. This is just awful.

My favorite moment is 3:39. When she started using the drumstick for a microphone was a close second.

*Walks out slowly away from the forum, before Rob makes watch the horror of Thanksgiving song. I never heard of.*

A) Why is this in the music section??

Sorry, had to leave before she could finish....

For real!


You realize this poor girl is going to grow up one day and say, "What was I thinking???" and "WHY did my parents let me do this?!"

lets hope now it's easter or christmas song comes next lol

Her parents didn't let her do it, they paid for it. This is the same guy who did Friday & it's just some studio where these spoiled girls parents pay a couple thousand dollars & they get a video.

I did have a really good laugh about this, it's just so ludicrous. What group of 12 year old girls celebrate every holiday like adults, without any adult supervision. Well unless you count the middle aged man dressed like a turkey...also who eats Macaroni & Cheese and ribs on Thanksgiving?

wow!!! That's a lot of money to spend.I dislike spolt brats

Well, Nicole was on a talk show today singing her song....needless to say, this girl CANNOT sing.....she couldn't even sing in unison along with herself. I guess it is true about music studios, they can mix everything and anything and make you sound good.....

She sounds a lot like the disney singers.No voice.

This is about Rebecca Black but Thanksgiving was made at the same place.

Ark Music Factory, a Los Angeles-based company operating as an industry hybrid of Maurice Starr and John Bennett Ramsey. Their casting calls are perfect bait for starry-eyed parents: “If you are a great singer without any material and you want to get discovered,” one reads, “then Ark Music Factory is looking for you.” The formula is simple: They’ll fly your child between the specified ages of 13-17 to Los Angeles, write her a “hit,” record it in super-compressed Autotuned production, shoot an edge detection-overlay video and BAM! Maybe your kid can notch up a couple thousand YouTube views while you watch your dreams of being a pop-star parent percolate.
- Who is Rebecca Black and How Did Her Video Get Made?
Basically, you’ve heard of vanity publishers? The people you pay to publish your book when no publisher will sink their own money into it? Well meet vanity music producers. Black’s parents paid, according to reports, $2000 to these guys to produce the song and video.

It's totally something I could see Harriett and Nellie doing!

yeah.

I was going to say that people like Rebecca and this Nicole girl certainly got their (parents') money's worth, but it's probably not a good thing in the long run. People know who they are, but they're basically objects of ridicule, and I'm sure that's not the kind of fame they had in mind.

She will hate this one day. She needed to at least come up with a second verse!

Their parents probably take a Harriet Oleson approach to that as well, "Those people are just jealous of how beautiful, talented, and wealthy you are." *Nicole and Rebecca nod vigorously*

I'm not so sure. When kids are brought up with the mindset that brings about this kind of pampering, they don't tend to see beyond themselves, and they tend to view everything that they've done as "accomplishments". They'll probably be pulling these out to show to their grandkids, saying, "Oh, wasn't I adorable!!" ....Now, the grandkids might hate it....But Nicole will probably still be pulling out a drumstick and singing along.

That's what the internets told me



Here is an ABC News interview months later with Rebecca Black & her Mother who says it was the best FOUR thousand dollars she ever spent.
