Katy Perry and Rebecca Black Sing 'Friday' Together Onstage (VIDEO)

If you're a teenage girl with one viral musical hit under your belt and you're dreaming of hitting it big (for real) -- befriending a pop star is probably a good idea.

Lucky for Rebecca Black, a pop star friendship seems to be blossoming. The "Friday" singer who released her second single, "My Moment," last month, joined Katy Perry on stage in Los Angeles on Friday night to sing Black's famous ode to our favorite day of the week.

Perry gave Black a hug and told the crowd, "Thank you so much Rebecca. That was our moment. We love you Rebecca, give it up." As the 14-year-old walked off stage, Perry shouted, "Damn it, I love the Internet!"

Black's appearance prompts the question if perhaps Perry is taking her under her wing, or if this is just some good publicity. Black made a cameo along with handful of other celebrities including Darren Criss, Kevin McHale, Kenny G, Hanson, and 80s legends Debbie Gibson and Corey Feldman in Perry's video for "Last Friday Night."

Perry made history last week when she scored her fifth No.1 single off her platinum-selling album, "Teenage Dream" -- making her the only artist to do so since Michael Jackson released five No. 1 singles off his album "Bad."

And Black who is soaking up every minute of her new fame appeared at the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday night and took home the surfboard for Choice Web Star.

Just more proof that money not talent can create a pop singer.

Well shes not a singer - shes just the current Paris Hilton of the music world - I doubt shes going to be able to play 13 year old Mary Beth at 30 - or when Disney releases a new pop princess - heck Rebecca Black could even be the new Katy Perry - she actually is a teenager - not a 27 year old woman pretending to be 12.

You're right, a computer can create a pop singer, see the Japanese band AKB48. What makes pop singers popular is the fact that teens relate to them, because they're average/mediocre singers. In their mind they think if Katy can succeed not being the greatest singer in the world I can make it happen too!

And now with the big deal thats been made of oversexualizing tweens - with the Vogue debacle - wonder how long Katy Perry is going to be able to gyrate at them and appear at the kiddie shows nearly popping out of her dress.
08:43 AM on 08/09/2011
Do you know the difference between tweens and teens? Vogue was oversualizing a 10 year old girl, that's a teen. Tweens are people in their 20's. And entertainment industry was built on sex. Movies, music, painting...

And to the KP fans/apologists for her lack of talent. I've got you on ignore/yowl - there really needs to be a yowl badge that plays 2:20 of this clip as one clicks on it.

And calling MJ and Perry artists is like calling Kim K and Ellen Pompeo both actresses. MJ was a singer and a dancer and a good, creative one - Katy Perry is a reality tv star dating Brand - that has a few more months left until Disney releases a new actual teenager that can sing soda pop - in fact it might even be Rebecca Black
08:37 AM on 08/09/2011
Really? If you had a good grasp of the facts you should know 2 things: she is not related to Disney neither a tv reality star. Take your vitriol somewhere else darling!

She is not a singer as any live clip will prove - and her showmance with Brand is a big part of her fame as well as the jigglers - which does put her in the reality tv domain.

My point is once Disney releases an actual teenager who can sing soda pop - Katy loses 90 % of her base. Heck even Rebecca Black could be the new Katy Perry - maybe thats why Katy is trying to sing with a teenager - soda pop.

Well poor Rebecca she certainly won't learn to sing - only b00b jiggling and the fine art of dating Russell Brand - her mother should really rethink letting her hang out with Kiddie porn lite Barbie

The same rant again! Seriously, you need some help! Seek a good theraphist. The yellow pages might help you on that.

Ha. That washed up, dried out old has-been, Katey What-did-her-name-use-to-be? Trying to pump some oxygen into her comatose "career" before the truck from the Old Folks Home comes to pick her up

Nice of BeccaB to show a bit of respect to the smelly old dowager before blowing her right out of the Pop universe with her next web release.

Pop music should be uncomplicated, like this. Keep it simple and fun!
