'World's worst singer' Rebecca Black to release a second single
It was a bit of a joke that got out of hand but Rebecca Black hopes she'll be more than just a fluke viral phenomenon when she releases her second music video next Monday.
Her publicist has confirmed that the follow-up to the hugely maligned but relentlessly popular It's Friday, will be aptly entitled My Moment.
Lady Gaga labelled 14-year-old Black a genius for her original song, despite the fact that the banal ditty earned her death threats for it's cringeworthy lyrics and adolescent video.

The self-penned ditty and video became a viral internet sensation, getting more than 167 million viewings since it was posted on YouTube just a few months ago.

The press release describes the genesis from debut track to follow up single.
The statement insists that the first single: 'celebrated the coming of the weekend and good times,' but that the new track is 'a fairytale story, but it happened in real life.'
Unlike It's Friday's sugary set-up, the autobiographical video will be compiled from real-life footage, including highlights of Black's life before fame was thrust upon her, the press release continues.
Director Morgan Lawley, whose resume includes Barbie commercials, also used Black's post-Friday highlights, including her appearances on red carpets and at award shows.
The new video and single will be available for download next Monday night through Black's website, www.RebeccaBlackOnline.com, and on Tuesday at iTunes and other online retailers.
It will also be posted on Black's YouTube channel.
While the first release was an independent vanity project that her mother paid $4,000 to a Southern California music studio to produce, her follow up is very much a professional affair.
The music was produced by Charlton Pettus, who's worked with Hilary Duff and Tears for Fears.
His biggest success, though, might be the theme song for "The Sims 3" computer game.
It was written by Brandon 'Blue' Hamilton, who authored a Justin Bieber tune.
Black will follow it up next month with the release of a five-song EP.
