- Several commenters pointed out Rebecca Black’s recent shift toward electronic/hyperpop sounds and cited an EP and a recent record as reasons she’d draw a crowd beyond the joke.
- Others argued the money would be better spent giving exposure to 3–4 young punk/alt acts instead of a novelty booking.
- Practical notes: some users mentioned she’s played Lollapalooza and that scheduling/contract conflicts (Beyond Wonderland was named) might make a Friday noon slot unlikely.
- The idea split the room — some said they’d show up for the novelty or genuine new material, while others preferred different throwbacks (one comment suggested Whigfield instead).
