It’s been a while since we’ve seen a preteen music video as awful as Rebecca Black’s notorious single “Friday.” For those who miss the head-shaking, giggles and bewilderment that you probably experienced when first watching Black’s video, we have an even worse one to make your day. Check out “Hot Problems” after the cut!
Yes, this was awful. My friend was in the room while I watched it, and she left just to avoid hearing the grating vocals. And no one likes to hear pretty girls complain about how hard life is being pretty. (As a big-chested lady, I learned to shut up about the problems that come along with my bra size a long time ago.) But…dare I say that they bring up some half-baked, almost-decent points? If this were a well-written essay about how being pretty doesn’t make you a party girl or an idiot, few would bat an eyelash, and some would probably applaud it. Now, these gals aren’t getting the message across with the right humility or in the right medium, and there’s probably no need to compose a thesis on the content of “Hot Problems.” But perhaps we could learn a lesson or two from it…or just weep for the state of humanity instead. Either option is valid. [via Huffington Post]

i thought it was a parody at first because it was hosted on collegehumor, but i came to realize they were serious…

@eatdrinkandbemaryy@xanga - haha same! but unfortunately it’s real =S
guest
Wow, they really can’t sing. If they can afford to make a video, maybe they could afford some software with autotune.
guest
What the hell is this, haha.
guest
oh dear lord, what have i done to hear such terrible music, has anyone told them….
guest
wow… They need more autotune.

Groan.
guest
No… Just no..
guest
i don’t know…maybe this is wishful thinking but i feel like they might be kidding.
guest
Auto tune can make a weird voice sound better it can not fix tone def! lol
This was pretty funny.
guest
@corporatecrow@xanga - Yeah me too. I hope… If not I feel bad for em. They are going to get laughed at so much…

They have no business making a music video at all….they can’t even sing. I think my ears are bleeding.
guest
we’re just like you…except we’re hot
guest
Just when you think the music industry is void of talent, BOOM, some gem like this comes along. The breakdown brought me to tears. Goose bumps from beginning to end! Does anyone know when these saviors of pop music are going on tour?

The way they sing remind me of Mary-kate and Ashley in their straight-to-video days.
guest
Well, sometimes these things happen. If it wasn’t for this educational video, I would’ve never known that hot girls have problems too.
guest
This is the hardest I’ve laughed in a LONG time!!!

Watching this video is like watching the Ring. I have to share it for me to not die…of laughter…
guest
I’m sorry, but there is absolutely no way that this is real. No way.
guest
They’re not even hot, so IDGAF.

What a mother f*&%ing trainwreck….
guest
Show this to ALL the people!
guest
They just REALLY cannot sing. Like…I feel like the fact that their singing is blatantly terrible makes me unable to find it “this is so bad its funny” based on the actual song which is pretty eye rolling.
On the upside, at least they are more or less legitimately “hot” or attractive. I’m sure some would disagree because everyone has their opinions, but most teenage boys would probably love dating one them based on looks alone.
guest
ok, they are just having fun. as a composer, i can tell you that the people in the studio would have INSISTED on autotune or at least a vocal session or two. this is simply a couple girls having a good time. i would bet THEY are laughing at the people who took them seriously.

guest
At least we can say Rebecca Black’s “Friday” was better than this. O_o

It’s so hard being 12 these days. hahaha this is disgusting. It’s not even singing.
guest
is this for real? *smashes head on desk*
guest
I think I can train a dog to sing better than they did.
guest
Miley Cyrus cloning gone bad.
guest
No. No. No. Just No.
guest
ugly girls have problems too. they should know….
guest
that can’t be real
guest
Oh. My. Gosh. I cringed at the first word. Seriously, auto tune. At least Rebecca Black was autotuned & she can somewhat sing.
guest
hahahaha i saw this on the soup last night, so funny
guest
i just don’t understand why someone would tell these girls they can sing.
guest
Why…
guest
@corporatecrow@xanga - Be honest. Deep down inside, you hope they’re serious. =P
guest
The fuck?

Hot problem #575678673: When a few years from now, boyfriends find this video.

I think I’ve found my new ringtone.
I’ll be sure to leave the volume up on my phone during exam week.

@destinationmoderation@xanga - Oooh, I had their album on tape cassette back in the day haha
