The vocals were the only thing in the video.

The wardrobe? Trailer court chic with a bold C- student accent. And the delivery—the eye contact—the way she OWNED it, man...
C'mon... Watch it again with bigger eyes (and closed ears).

She's clearly a bit deluded and probably blissfully unaware of the number of us laughing at her (148 and counting when I looked...).
However, I do wonder whether this is exactly what she needs. If she's prepared to ride on the dubious maxim that "any publicity is good publicity," how long will it be before that video has 1,000 hits? Then 10,000? Purely from people tuning in for a good giggle, or just to stare in disbelief at how bad it is, but giving her the attention she wants nevertheless.
Lest we forget, in this topsy-turvy interweb territory, it was exactly this approach that only recently bought fame and success to one Rebecca Black. Sure, this girl doesn't have rich and indulgent parents to fund an embarrassing music video for her, but you can bet your bottom dollar a good number of Ms Black's youtube views were just from people forwarding it to their friends, saying "OMG YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW CRAP THIS IS!!!!111!!" Seems there's a lot of money to made out of mockery these days.

Now she's a world-wide cult figure, probably raking in the money. She still cant sing, but hey, she's famous and I'm still an unknown bass player. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9ZdTnJ9X9Y |

The hilarious part you're missing is that same hilarious part that the producers of "American Idol" understand so well... the part that tells them to include so many vocal train wrecks and pitiably talentless hopefuls in the early shows of the season (the only episodes I ever watch, personally). They know it's funny, and they know why: In short, it's NOT funny just to watch someone fail miserably at something (usually): It IS funny to watch someone fail miserably at something that they're so stupefyingly confident in their ability to do. We laugh because we're incredulous at the inexplicable self-confidence and unbelievable personal conviction that would not only make a person do something that they clearly cannot do, but do it for as great an audience as they can amass.
Phew. I was worried that all that psycho babble would dehumorize the clip for me. But I just watched it again, and nope: It's still funny. To me and all the people who like the "Worst of American Idol" more than the "Best of...", at least.

Don't think it's particularly funny and think ridiculing this kid is a bit douchey.
My two cents.

I watched one episode of Idol and that was all I needed to realize it was not for me.
Idol and it's endless string of so called "reality TV competition" imitators exist solely to provide an ego boost to those who cannot get said boost from their own life. That boost can come from wishing to be a contestant, or making mock of those contestants.
Either way, it helps people forget their own boring lives. If only for a little while.
Think of all those hours spent watching canned fantasy foisted off as real, and what those hours would mean if they had been applied to bass practice instead.
Just sayin...
