I mean, that's why the video got to 50 million views.
And Lady Gaga's right: she's a genius (although not in the traditional sense, and even though she may not realize it) -- there is a pop quality to this song, tell me you didn't listen through the whole thing.
The girl has a future ...
Update: People/critics have said she has a whiny voice. See, the thing is, she sounds like everygirl. Regular girls sound like this to each other.
Rebecca represents everyday, regular girls. This is why the video has reached 50 million views. Not because 50 million people all have some kind of morbid curiosity. These are kids and young people clicking on and checking out this video, downloading the song.
Simple beat, pop sensibility, an x factor to the lead singer ... this last one is the key right here. That x factor. That defines fame. You can't (or very rarely can) concoct it. Maybe with the exception of the Spice Girls. But this girl just "has it". it works, it's stumbled upon.
Again, out of context, people think it's a nasally voice ... but if you go to any California school, girls sound like this to each other.
Most of all, she's real. So basically, critics are lambasting her for being herself.
Weird.
