What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Black's first single "Friday" was a YouTube sensation, a cringe-worthy song that catapulted the unknown singer into stardom and public ridicule. Her second single, however, responds to those critics with improved vocals and a positive message about living in the moment and being resilient. The song is free of any iffy content.
What's the story?
Back to defy her many critics, Rebecca Black responds to the backlash surrounding her hit "Friday" with a more polished single, "MY MOMENT," with a clear message: This is my moment, and like it or not, I'm gonna enjoy it. The video shows Black livin' the dream, equipped with her own background dancers, a model makeover, and a limo ride with Mom.
Is it any good?
Black's "Friday" was an accidental success -- it was so bad that people couldn't stop watching. That said, the 14-year-old deserves major kudos for keeping her smile and standing up in the face of so much criticism. "My Moment" shows Black isn't finished with her fifteen minutes of fame, touting, "Your life is in your hands, so take it as far as you can." The vocals are a modest improvement, thanks to the wizardry of a music studio, while the video reveals that there is some personality and spunk behind those thick bangs.

Unbelievable it's by the same artist as "Friday"
This song is 110% appropriate, and personally, I don't find it as a song about you being the center of attention, I just find the song saying that this is her 5 minutes of fame, and her minute for her to shine. It's a million times better than "Friday," and it actually has a good beat!

Haters gotta hate
Rebecca basically made this song to tell her haters to stop hating. but then they hate on her again. Poor Rebecca.
Anyway, this song sounds much better than Friday, sounds pretty good actually, but she needs some better lyrics.

Comes Back Cleaner
The song doesn't have a good role model, but Rebecca Black is a good role model. She's been called horrible names, so to come back with a better song that's awesome! But parents, be aware the song is all about YOU being the center of attention. Its a bad message to send kids, but kids 9 and under might not even get the message to the song. They'll just like the beat.

Better than Friday
It's better than Friday, but it's not great. But I'm glad Rebecca Black didn't let all those bad (and mean) reviews get to her. Although her voice isn't the strongest, but it's nice. And I'm glad they didn't use autotune. I agree with Musicgirl209; haters are just going to hate.

Good for you, Rebecca
It's nice to see that she's ignoring whta those haters say about her. And, I think that this song is more better than Friday.
