Lara plays 'Friday' on piano (cover), Rebecca Black

[N3N000]

How old is she? 17-18?

[OstbyMedia]

if this version came out first, i would be exited to hear lyrics. but instead, the other came out first and i wasn't going to listen to this. Happy i did. as it turns out, if you ignore the lyrics you know from the original. this actually sounds very good!

[TheCracktastic]

I read the title and though "What? No! I thought so much better of you! You're too good for this!"

Then I listened to it. They should have released this instead of the original.

[justin26UK]

Friday is actually musically a really good song. No serious, hear me out. The lyrics are shocking, and the original release by that girl was awful with the autotune. But watch some talented people take it and play with it, and it's usually good because a) has nice harmony/chord structure, b) catchy melody and c) big hook with the chorus. It's actually a good tune, if you composed this your music teacher would give you an A, no question.

[Uselessdudeful]

brock baker should sing this....just saying.....

[Alexdemundo]

You made me like this song!

[Dragonrider123]

how can the worst song in the world sound so nice on a piano? :D good job haha

[sandxluv]

I cant believe you did this by ear!!!!!!!!!

[wonderworm0607]

[InvadingStrand]

Epic

[LegendaryLunchbox]

"I think because people like to feel a sense of united smugness about the perceived lack of artistic merits of certain songs/artists." Well said, I agree. I'm not a fan of Friday, but the immense amount of hate is just unreasonable - most people probably don't "hate" the song, but say they do to gain everyone's approval. Rebecca seems like a nice enough girl; I'm not sure I could handle that much criticism levied against me, and I'm an adult. Anyways, nice cover. :]

[Wat3rDragon]

@LegendaryLunchbox Wow well said, I completely agree. And the same goes for Justin Bieber. Anyway great cover Lara :) I love the music for the song and it sounds even better on the piano. :) Keep playing!

[musicmode13100]

@LegendaryLunchbox i actually do hate r.b and j.b

[LegendaryLunchbox]

@musicmode13100 I know some people genuinely do, but I don't understand it. Unless those two have personally slighted you in some fashion, I see no reason to let somebody you've never interacted with get under your skin no matter how awful their music is. It's irrational.

[musicmode13100]

@LegendaryLunchbox i meant to type their music, not them personally, i am apathetic about them as individuals.

[musicmode13100]

@LegendaryLunchbox well, them by extension, for making such trash

[LegendaryLunchbox]

@musicmode13100 It's pretty easy to not listen to music you dislike.

[musicmode13100]

@LegendaryLunchbox u do have to listen at least once to make the decision of if u like it or not though, and in her case, that is more than enough

[shoomkin17]

Epic job ms. lara

[IImagiination]

LOL I started singing along.

[toontowngirls]

SUBSCRIBED!! :D

[violagirl333]

Now I really want to learn this. Great job!!! :D

[mentos546]

the 14 dislikes were the people who can't see true magic

[KOCPY]

:O a version of Friday with 443 likes and 14 dislikes! A world phenomenon!!

[TheRorocks]

That was really good girl well done!! :-P

[UltimatelordArki]

I want this to be played at rebecca blacks funeral...tomorrow.

[UnBesoEnLaLluvia]

Fourteen people don't realize how talented she has to be to not only listen and play by ear, but make it amazing to hear.

[rachelcool95]

You are so amazing ! :D Do you learn all these by ear? :D

[theamazingkeep]

Lara turns crud into magic gold.

[littlespade]

lol its not the song people usually have a problem with, its just the lack of musical talent that Rebecca Black actually has, in my personal opinion her singing is like nails on a chalk board, but the song isnt bad...especially when you play it Lara :)

[thedragoonknight]

"Haters, back off ;)" I just realized you were quoting Miranda.

[tomkcheng]

So you removed Rebecca AND the lyrics? ME GUSTA.

[DigitalNinja117]

:O I'm fucking befuddled... you just turned a heaping pile of shit into diamond encrusted gold...this video made happy XD keep up the good work.

[AwieArmin]

Rebecca blacks Version : *puke*

Your Version : *happyness*

[ClockworkPrince93]

I really thought that 'Friday' had no possible help. I apologize to Rebecca Black here and now, as, quite clearly, I was wrong. They just handled it poorly. This, however, sounds great.

[WalysonBorges]

See? There are nothing that talent cannot fix.

[fhuria666]

i HATE this song, but when you play it i like it, and spam that replay button! Awesome!

[hahellow]

you make Friday sound good!

[TheLoadedBrush]

Great to see you in profile, and to see your elegant hands dance across the keys. tres belle

[HelpPlox727]

This is one of few songs that I actually like performed by you and I think you are doing a great job with your music. Keep up the good work!

[Swe3tJe3bus]

@HelpPlox727 Are you dumb?

[barbiegirl799]

Rebecca Black made 14 acconts and disliked this

[TheMeanSgtPlaysPiano]

Lolz the whole melody is like one note.

[RiksK15]

After seeing the video and reading the description, I seriously wonder... Where can you find girls like you? That are not only attractive, but also talented and intelligent?

[Zopium88]

ITS FUNDAY MONDAY!!!

[CrazyColliesTM]

(adds to favorites and likes. writes epic comment about how amazing you are) You're talented! You actually made me love this song! YOU MADE MY DAY!!!!!! :D

[graphx311]

14 people were out of cereal

14 people couldn't decide which seat to take

14 people work weekends

14 people ?????

[harro123]

Nice cover. For me, Rebecca's voice isn't bad and the music it self is typical catchy pop. It's the lyrics that are rough to listen to. Your cover here takes care of that issue though ;)

[WOOT9thPlaceVGRT2010]

helen keller would get new ears for this

6 stars <3

[TheBigbadugly1]

i thank God i have ears at this moment just to hear you play

[ExpIicitx]

you actually make it sound good! :O

[Cattsith]

@jsalomongeo: No, It's because the lyrics are terribly, terribly bad. This, however, is awesomeness.

[jsalomongeo]

The internet trolls hate it when independent women artists make it big without sexing it up. Probably because they are alone and dateless in their mother's basements.

Then they turn around and white about the RIAA and totalitarian record labels. Hypocrites.

[WOOT9thPlaceVGRT2010]

@MrStealthNacho obviously shes a humanoid Sorcerer's Stone! hope she makes this cover live forever..

[GrumpyOldAssFart]

seriously...who the hell would hate this? who would your haters be?

this is awesome!!

[rachelcool95]

UR AMAZING :D<3

[PatrickSmithPhD]

"It's Funday Monday..." =)

[Saibanchou]

It's sad to see a large group of people uniting just to destroy a musician's life... And all that for the lack of something better.

[Saibanchou]

Gosh, that sounds really great... Never imagined it that way to be honest.

[lilkc14]

can I like have your numher…

[compendiumgravemind]

anyone else like the censored version of this song?

[sirmel11]

@compendiumgravemind Friday has no bad words in therefore it can't be censored.

[compendiumgravemind]

@sirmel11 you should look it up then lol

[andrexw13]

crap song turned into awesomeness

*alarm clock rings* WHAT THE FUAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[tarmogoyf09]

Fun fun fun fun

[boredgamer107]

when you take away the vocals like this. the song sounds really good. I mean REALLY good.

[assassin23413]

I actually reckon her playing it on piano without talking is better than Rebecca black's Fruday...

[MrStealthNacho]

I'm sorry, but are you a wizard? Because I am quite sure that you just turned crap into gold.

[xXSparky117Xx]

@MrStealthNacho Some unicorns happen to be very good at alchemy.

[faranior]

@MrStealthNacho wouldn't that be an alchemist? :P

[wowitshardtogetaname]

@MrStealthNacho i think alchemist is more correct :P

[xSobhan]

um.. where are the related videos ?

[Babofan001]

@km13lda totally agree! ;)

[SuneGem]

Somehow, you managed to make the most hated song on YouTube sound amazing...

Good work!

[ThirdDimensia]

Clare is stoned. lol

[SuperLm07]

this was posted on my birthday :D

[Omnomnom1111]

That gliss at 2:18 @_@. Oh mah gawddd

[FreeMe2008]

I'm not familiar with this song, but regardless, awesome performance ! I like the way you end it near 2:18. I'm a fan now. ;)

[DesignKiller76]

does it sound a little bit as nyan cat? :) just a few notes

[iMackid97]

You should Give tutorials :)

just saying because I'm jealous, and You make any song angelic ever by rebecca black

[rabidmailman]

WHICH SEAT CAN I TAKE?

[FreddieTheYeti]

Wow, this is actually a really good song. When it's on piano. And isn't autotuned.

[FantasyCosplay]

I like it better on piano:DD *thumbs up!*

[yur1fan]

only you can make this a good song :D

[MaggiePie1010]

Lara, I LOVE it. (And I love your comment, too.)

[LordvorEdocsil]

The original is absolutely NOTHING against this! Wonderful!

[MrJmfitch]

epic!

[Downzy2019]

If the lyrics where different then this would probs be a nice song!

[DIXIECONFEDERATEDAWG]

I LOVE BOTH SONGS!

[madmaddi264]

I hate the song but you made it beautiful and epic! Amazing!

[MadDuckInc151]

I'm afraid I ignored your wishes, Lara. I don't care much for the original, but you made it sound so beautiful!

[arnaudnilwik]

Lara, I have to admit .... your so gifted. Great.

[cet0708]

I don't much care for the song .... but I love this version for some reason. I wonder why?

[Nichordnaruto]

man, this is so autotuned

[PhoebeDaJellyMonster]

I don't mind the backing music for Friday, and you make it sound lovely. For me it's the mediocre lyrics that ruin the song.

[elicik1]

First and foremost, I hate "Friday" by Rebecca Black. Second, it actually sounds alright when someone good like you plays it. Keep up the good work

[ladymess1]

Your amazing it actually sounds good when you play it!

[BeatlesChick123]

Will you play Turning Tables by Adele?

[BeatlesChick123]

You make Friday sound good!

[km13lda]

well, i don't mind the melody, what i hate about "Friday" are the lyrics

[SenorBougliani]

@km13lda that.

[suikahakurei]

Lara made Friday by Rebecca Black sound good ... now that's awesome!

[NaruBlue123456]

Frideh frideh gotta get down on frideh, lol nice :D

[eatcarpet]

It shows that this song is actually a masterpiece in disguise.

[TheRecyclops]

I wish I could play this and just kind of troll my family whenever I want lol

[combatarmsguy10]

i normally would hate this song but now...

i cant stop singing this and i downloaded this vid onto my ITouch and used a youtube converter to get this as a song...

you are beautiful and talented and i hope you dont stop this

btw i think a heater would help

[riqqirocks]

this is amazing how did you make the most annoying song ever sound awesome

[smahhah]

@riqqirocks You clearly haven't seen Stephen Colbert do this song, just as amazing ^^

[riqqirocks]

@smahhah nope i haven't

[wickedrecords666]

@lara6683

I love you!! xD You're an amazing player, I have a band here in Brazil, we play Rock and one day I hope to play piano like you do!!

I'm a drummer and a singer ;DD

Hope you answer back!!

[DGneoseeker1]

This is a lot better than the actual song ¬¬

[Tarotiste]

This is very good. I also really admire the comment you included. That is essentially my feeling about the song. I don't understand how people could hate it THAT much. She's no Barbra Streisand but she isn't awful either, and the song is quite catchy and sunny. Thanks for the lovely music as well as the chance to see someone stand up for another person intelligently and with integrity.

Clare

[lara6683]

@Tarotiste Thankyou! I am glad you like my comment :)

[Aspectt1991]

I LOVE YOU LARA'S PIANO

MARRY ME

[SergeantAmazing]

I can't hear this song without thinking of brock's dub :)

[roaringrockets]

While the lyrics to this song are notoriously inane, the actual music is quite good, and you bring it out well here.

[RebelGamingxxVlog]

Is there anything a Pianist can't make sound good?

[lawrencewong100]

You know what guys, one of the 8 dislikes could be Rebecca Black! xD

[redvsblueviewer]

@lawrencewong100 Why would Rebecca Black dislike a piano cover of the song that made her popular?...

[rockincellist101]

@redvsblueviewer Because the Piano cover is better than the actual song.

[redvsblueviewer]

@rockincellist101 Riiiighht....you're really something special.

[Kurukfaa]

wow...very talented, very respectful, and very intellectual....you are one awesome individual...(not trying to be creepy lol) but seriously, you seem like a great person :)

[guitarlovershannon]

Very nice!

i don't like the original bu that's because i think that rebecca can't sing at all... and maybe.. i'll do it eve better than rebecca...

[Babofan001]

whoa... better than the orig.

[ShurkaOwo]

@Babofan001 xD its incomparable!

[MrJackiewilliams]

Me: "Mom, I wanna learn piano"

Mom: "You'll just let it go to waste."

Me: "Nuh uh."

Mom: "I said no."

Me: :(

[kresimircindric]

@MrJackiewilliams :(

good luck!

[chingomil]

*comes here to troll and gives dislikes*... wait WTF, this actually sounds great?

[Tokimeki]

You are a goddess, lol

[SpartanUnDead]

It's just imposible. You make a horrible song turn out into a beatiful piece of art. It's sounds... so relaxing.

[HOWLRMONK3Y]

this is the best example you can give to someone when they want to know how to turn something really bad into something really really amazing

[PlayThatDvD]

Even here people are mean to Rebecca, leave Rebecca alone internet!

But a great cover though :)

[nadaoqfazervlog]

You can make the music seem to be good

[aridliscot]

Oh come on... that song does not deserve you XD

[jkshrout131]

When I think about how many times you had to listen to the song to figure out how to play it on piano, I get shivers.

[RTM666]

This isn't so bad when there isn't an annoying teenage retard strangling a cat to it.

[HeavensRockAngel]

I don't really like the original version by Rebecca Black, but you made me like it :D

[tallbikerider]

I have heard two good versions of this song the Stephen Colbert version and now this one. Thank you for turning something that made my ears bleed in to something I want to listen to.

[FuIIOfFaiI]

"which seat can I take"

"Hi. I'm Chris Hanson, why don't you take a seat right over there.."

[HumDog]

amazing! you made this song sound so respectable <3

[frostyman116]

I can't agree with you more, this song really isn't that bad. I admit that the lyrics are stupid, but that doesn't make it a bad song; it just makes it a stupid song. Do lyrics really even matter? Can't people just base their opinions on the song for the way it sounds and makes you feel?

[MunkyDrag0n]

Congratulations, you've turned a crude, nonsensical, auto-tuned piece of garbage into a classical masterpiece! Now we just need someone who can make better lyrics...

[TheReveiw12]

much better than Rebbeca Black nice work!

[lilkoopa23]

fixed

[Cuddlebunzzzz]

i don't feel cool anymore now that i know someone else likes the original version of this song.

[LaxBboys]

Very awesome. You did a terrific job.

[lisergi]

100000000000000000000000000000 times better than the original

[holyknight234]

Rebecca Black made 4 accounts to dislike this video out of jealousy

[TigerTaint]

this has got to be one of the most overused chord progressions in the history of music. she makes it sound good, though.

[signingin12345]

yeh i agree scrapping the lyrics was a great idea :) your such a talent

[daigoro789]

YES!!!

[KazuxVincent]

four people can't play the piano to save there

[athropos]

You're so amazing Lara...

[bobblewobblesqueeg]

haha - not hating on the song, but I think this is better than the original, Lara. Pretty sweet performance. =P

[Coyote2k5]

you need your own record deal, not her. incredible talent.

youre even prettier :/ such is life in the zone.

[kaputasri]

Wow you turned a lump of shit into a gold nugget. Are you king Midas daughter. Lol.

[TheCharlieFromMN]

4 people actually think FRIDAY is the shit while this sucks -.-' IDIOTS love ya girl ;) you real pretty too :)

[RKinger12]

its clearly OK to hate the song, but enjoy your rendition. so put me on that list :)

[PhilCollins4eva]

YOU'RE ON A ROLE! First my favourite childhood song, and now a song despised by all...yet you turned it into something AMAZING! How are you so talented? This version is just so much better that the original. I don't know how you do it, but I'm sure anything you ever play is going to sound amazing. no matter how pathtic the original version of the piece may be. Well done again ^^

[xmusicraverx]

wow, i hate the original but this is amazing. thank you for actually giving this song some musicianship :D

[Tygore]

Sorry, I'm pretty sure that wasn't Friday. I could tell because I listened to the whole thing and enjoyed myself.

[NeoTrovador]

this is like taking a raw stone and turn it into a diamond

[jam2995]

She sings one note in a row for so long. Thanks for making this terrible song bearable.

*clap clap clap*
