Rebecca Black on Justin Bieber and Why She Might Be the Next Taylor Swift

Two weeks ago Rebecca Black was your average thirteen-year-old. Today her insanely addictive tune “Friday” has surpassed 43 million views on YouTube and has sold more than 37,000 copies on iTunes. Her first dose of life in the spotlight hasn’t been easy for the aspiring singer: She has faced some harsh remarks in response to the cookie-cutter nature of her viral hit. On the plus side, she's appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, climbed her way onto the Billboard Top 100 Chart, and garnered the support of music moguls like Simon Cowell and Lady Gaga. The pop-star-in-training took a break from recording in the studio to chat with Teen Vogue about Justin Bieber, her typical Friday night, and why she just might be the next Taylor Swift. 

What have the last two weeks been like for you? 
It's been an emotional roller coaster. I’ve had my ups and downs, but this experience is unreal—I mean, Nick Jonas sang my song! 

Why do you think so many people have connected with “Friday”? 
I honestly couldn't tell you. I think it's a typical pop song that a bunch of people could sing. I don't know what was so special about it that made it go viral. 

What did you first think of the lyrics for the song? 
They were simple, but catchy and clean. I thought it could really go big. 

OK, let's get down to business—we need some answers to the questions you posed in “Friday”:

Favorite cereal? 
I'm not a breakfast person, but I like Cocoa Pebbles. 

Favorite seat in the car: front or back? 
I like the backseat so you can talk to all your friends without having to turn around. 

Favorite day of the week? 
Friday, just like I say in the song! 
What's your ideal Friday night? 
Right now it would be to get some sleep, but typically I just want to hang out with my best friend, watch movies, and be a dork. 

And who's your Friday-night dream date?
Justin Bieber. 

Did you watch him on YouTube before he went mainstream? 
I had seen some of his videos before he was “The King.” I wasn't a huge Belieber, but I thought he was talented. 

What are some of your favorite viral videos? 
I’m a big fan of Greyson Chance. I watched his first video like 20 times. He's adorable! It’s so cool that he was at a school talent show, and it just went viral like that. 

What artists inspire you? 
I mean there some people who have had a little jump start in the business, like Miley Cyrus, but watching Justin Bieber become big when he was so young was insane. I never thought I could be anything like him, and now people are comparing me to him! 

Would you say you’re more like Selena, Miley, or Taylor Swift? 
People tell me I sound like Taylor Swift. Once you hear my sound without any adjustments—just my raw voice—it’s unique. 

Do you watch American Idol
I watch every episode. I’ve always considered auditioning when I turn fifteen. 

How have your friends reacted to your success? 
They are so happy for me, but school has been really different. I get a lot more attention, random people are coming up and saying, “hi,” like they've known me for years. It’s weird. 

It was pretty brave of you to join Twitter after some of the harsh comments you talked about getting on YouTube, what made you decide to do it? 
I was really pissed off that there were all these impersonators. They were making me look bad, so I wanted to show everyone that those people weren't me. At first I had to quit my social networking sites because of what was happening. Now Twitter is my little place. 

I know you’re donating some of your earnings to charity, but what's the first thing you are going to buy for yourself? 
I'll probably buy a bunch of stuff from Forever 21. I really don't have a lot of clothes. 

Describe your personal style. 
I change my style a lot. Sometimes I feel like going totally boho, but other times, like now, I’m wearing heels and a trench coat, with a chic dress. I love Betsey Johnson. 

Did you want to be famous? 
I thought it must have its perks and cons. But I'm only thirteen, and I think every young girl wants to be famous at some point. 

If you could do it all over again, would you? 
Definitely. 

Rapid Fire: Rebecca Takes on Teen Vogue's Quintessential 5 Questions 

Pop-culture guilty pleasure? 
America's Next Top Model. 

Most played song on your iPod? 
Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars.

Favorite sweet? 
I'm a chocoholic, so M&Ms or even a Hershey's bar. 

If you could have any superpower, what would it be? 
To be invisible. I would mess with some people. 

What are you reading right now? 
I just finished The Hunger Games. I loved it. It’s my favorite series of all time—above Twilight and L.A. Candy, by Lauren Conrad.

Sebelumnya, fashion label asal Brooklyn ini sempet berkolaborasi dengan Alt Disney Signature. Nah, kali ini kolaborasi keduanya akan membawa seri keempat “Pirates of the Carribean in to high fashion”. Terinspirasi oleh On Stranger Tides, Toni Hacker dan Ben Harnett, membuat koleksi Disney pertama yang nggak menargetkan anak-anak ini sebagai pangsa pasarnya. Yang Gogirl! suka yaitu koleksi handbags berdetail leather cuff dan scarves dari bahan silk dan chiffon, dengan motif print pedang dan jangkar. Cantik kan? Nah, semua koleksi ini rencananya akan tersedia pada bulan Mei 2011. Don’t miss it!

Wah, ini baru kreatif! Walaupun sering kepikiran, untuk membuat something kreatif dengan daun yang sudah tak terpakai, akhirnya sebuah graphic design studio bernama Eding: Post sudah mengumumkan kalo mereka mengeluarkan “Leaf Letter” yang unik banget. Di project ini Eding: Post juga berkolaborasi dengan penerbit buku, Neo Green. Selain mengeluarkan kertas surat daun, ternyata banyak juga stationary dengan bentuk daun. Ah, rasanya pengen dibeli semua deh! Hebatnya, setelah debut perdananya di DESIGNTIDE TOKYO 2010, sekarang produk ini akan dilempar ke seluruh dunia. Wah.. semoga aja cepat masuk di Indonesia ya.

Attitude Jay Manuel

Penonton America Next Top Model pasti nggak asing lagi dengan Jay Manuel. Style guru and occasional life-coach acara reality show ini akhirnya memulai fashion collection-nya sendiri. Jay saat ini dikontrak sebagai Creative Director untuk line ATTITUDE Jay Manuel yang akan dirilis di toko-toko Sears. Secara keseluruhan, desain Jay menampilkan siluet awal 60an dengan kemewahan dan tekstur tahun 70an. Koleksi pertama Jay ini meliputi legged trousers, sleek pencil skirts dan suit yang dapat bertransformasi menjadi gaun malam. Itu belum semua, masih ada sepatu, tas dan aksesories dalam kolesinya ini. Don't even think about stepping out the door in a Jay Manuel outfit without having the complete look. Sayangnya, untuk semenatra koleksi Jay hanya tersedia di Kanada.


Unique Women Hat Collection Spring 2011

Koleksi unik dan terbaik untuk musim semi 2011 adalah topi yang dipamerkan dalam eksibisi Van Ness Bijou di Los Angeles. The exhibition is organized by Geragos and Geragos & CBC. Kalo buat Gogirl! ini bukan koleksi topi biasa, tapi juga bisa jadi aksesoris untuk kepala yang cantik, unik, dan menarik. Tertarik?

Re-Paper Chopsticks



Tau dong kalau sumpit sekali pakai sering diprotes aktivis lingkungan, karena menghabiskan banyak pohon dalam pembuatannya. Makanya nih Chung Ran Hee, seorang desainer industri, membuat alternatif untuk menggantikan disposable chopstick ini. Re-Paper Chopstick buatan Chung Ran Hee, bisa jadi merupakan peralatan makan yang paling eco-friendly yang pernah ada. Meskipun hanya terbuat dari kertas daur ulang dan lem ramah lingkungan, sumpit ini sama baiknya dengan yang terbuat dari kayu. Untuk menggunakan Re-Paper Chopsticks, emang sedikit ribet karena kita harus melipat dan mengelemnya sendiri. Tapi percaya deh, they’re 10 times more eco-friendly than wooden ones.

The Waste-Folder


Untuk menjaga lingkungan agar bersih dan nyaman, masa sih hari gini masih aja buang sampah sembarangan?! Apalagi sekarang kan udah ada penemuan tempat sampah super fun, kayaknya nggak ada alesan lagi deh untuk buang sampah nggak pada tempatnya.

'The waste-folder' adalah salah satu cara agar dunia kita tetap ‘hijau’. Apalagi 'the waste-folder' ini enak banget loh kalo dibawa kemana-mana. Tinggal masukin di dalam tas, voila! Di segala suasana apapun tinggal keluarin 'the waste-folder', buka lipatannya, lalu kembangkan tempat sampah super cute ini.

Ada 6 sisi map yang begitu dikembangkan, udah ada masing-masing gambar untuk memasukan sampah di dalamnya. Ada tempat untuk sampah botol, kardus susu hingga kaleng minuman. Kalo udah penuh, tinggal sobek kertas tempat sampahnya, lalu buang deh ke tempat sampah yang lebih besar. Akarchitectes adalah yang menciptakan tempat sampah, yang bisa dibawa untuk piknik, bbq-an atau acara lainnya. Hebatnya lagi, 'the waste-folder' yang terbuat dari kertas dan kardus ini tetap bisa di recycled loh, setelah nggak digunakan lagi. Wow, two thumbs up!


Eco Bus Stops


Wow... very happy to see technological developments, that the day is always vying to create something environmentally friendly. Examples of things that are most commonly found in our daily life, namely the bus stop. Well, in San Francisco reportedly being built 1100 new solar powered bus stop, which is going to function in 2013. Transit stations that make this super cool and very green, red-colored solar panels installed as the roof that generate energy which can connect the intercoms (intercom), LED lighting and wireless, which will make the city a "WiFi friendly". Wah... this brilliant really and I can not wait waiting for the bus stop is a quick function. Besides going to make the city of San Francisco a city that is "WiFi friendly, Eco Bus Stops roof also has the function of providing information, if we pressed the button yes. And another great, all the material stops making these, 75% made from recycled materials.
