  • I love this message so much. I feel the exact same way. x

  • Dear Meghan Tonjes,

    It's Monday.

    This video gave me hope in myself again. I'm an aspiring singer/songwriter and I had writers block, I was afraid maybe I was losing it, but the way you explained how you write and it reminded me that there doesn't need to be pressure behind what I do. It's music and it's what I was born to do. and all this noise about who's good and who's bad in music and I second guessed myself if I was really good, but your video made me realize. I am me and I do anything else.

  • These are just MY opinions...can't I have them...can't I comment in an honest manner without a evil intent...I've always just been a straight up shooter...if all you fellow over weight girls don't like my opinion...let it go...I have a right to give my opinion...just by posting a video you are ASKING for that opinion...can you imagine in our daily lives if what we did had an anonymous comment button?? We'd all get hurt..but we don't you have basically ask me for my opinion...so you all grow up

  • Damn...you've got even fatter! If you love what you're doing...and you know it's your dream to "make it" ....and you can lie to yourself all you want..you know it and I know...as long as you're morbidly obese you have ZERO chance of that (are you sure aint no Adele) One can see you would be beautiful if you lost those 400lbs. If you want to succeed (and that's not going on Ellen as some sort of pity party) take those 1,000 of dollars you spend on food a month and get a lap band!!!

  • I Hope Rebecca Sees This :)

  • This is amazing video!!! I could not agree more! I don't see why people have so much hates these days... Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black they are the same people as we are, who happened to become famous for diff reasons and know people just can get over it.. Be nice to each other people!

  • Grumly100-YOUR FAT!

  • You are the first reasonable person that I find that understands how It's absurd insult people.

  • Randomly stumbled upon this video again.....good lord woman, your passion is contagious and inspirational. Thanks for being freaking amazing.

  • @keeporjot thanks for liking this video and putting it on my radar. I am a singer songwriter and haven't written something in a while. This has inspired me to pick up my guitar again. Thanks for passing it along.

  • You go girl! Woo!

  • @Grumly100 shut the hell up shes amazing

  • @Grumly100 You're pathetic ;)

  • he can do what he wants with his life. And I don't know about anyone else, but I don't think knowing what day of the week comes next is going to save my life. I believe in the beauty of music, and in my opinion, Mayday Parade has given their heart and soul into what they do. Everyone has their right to their own opinion. But to me you're just doing exactly what he did. Picking someone out and making them look bad. Yeah maybe he was wrong for doing, but what you're doing is just as bad.

  • I have nothing against that song, but if you are saying this isn't an attack at just one person, then maybe block the name out, or don't show it at all. It's a catchy song, I'm not against it. But Mayday Parade has saved my life, literally, through their lyrics. Just think if he posted a video about you or something you tweeted that he didn't agree with. That's how the world works, people don't agree. We don't need to pick people out because they don't believe what you do. Just like you said,

  • ilu

    

  • I love what u stand for, really. I just love it

  • You're truly inspiring!

  • oh come on she posted the dumb song up and she knows there will be haters!! this is a crappy video.

  • Oh, we need more people like YOUUUUUUU!!! Wish you all the best!

  • You touched my heart.... i think i´m in love now

  • Wow your really good at speeches. You could convince probably anyone since you talk with total honesty and truth,.. you should become the next president or just rule the world. I don't mind. :) then people can be HAPPPEEE :D right? :)

  • Very well said.

  • I agree with everything you just said. You are COMPLETELY RIGHT! :)

  • i just wanted to say, that mayday parade is terrible mainstream music. it has no heart, they don't write it and if anything, bands like them are the downfall of music. they have no heart, they want fame, they want fans, and they want attention. youre an amazing person Megan :)

  • Omg this is brilliant. Thank you! -3

  • F to the U-C-K yeah.

  • Awesome.

  • I JUST WANT TO WATCH MEGHAN TONJES. I DON'T CARE ABOUT DOWNY FABRIC SOFTENER BEADS. LEAVE ME ALONE, ADS.

  • You are gorgeous. Don't ever change.

  • you are so fucking incredible <33333

  • You have an incredibly amazing talent... and apparently you are also an incredibly amazing soul!!! Bravo!!!!

  • I'm 12 an 5 foot 9 and I have had someone say that they won't be my friend or even talk to me because I'm "Too Tall".

  • Comment removed

  • You are so beautiful. You make me realise not everyone is like "JakeMaydayP". Those who don't see real people behind what they see and think bullying is okay because everyone else is doing it.

  • @kin111111

    You know

    I'm not gonna waste my time on white trailer trash like you

    You probably don't even know what a cunt is

    So say what you want you won't move me

  • Comment removed

  • You are my hero!

  • Thank you so much for not being mean to Rebecca Black! I'm not a big fan of hers (I've only heard one of her songs - friday- and it's ok I guess) At first I was like not another hate video! But now all I can say is Thank you!! It's nice to be nice, right?

  • @Cynenoir

    Fuck you fucking cunt

    You can go screw yourself to hell for all I care you fucking cock sucking bitch

  • yeah whats really funny is, there is a difference to writing real music, and just spouting off some shit and then autotune the fuck out of it.

    sure you can call yourself an artist all you want, but doesnt mean you have talent. i mean, can i go throw some dog shit at a canvass and then call myself an artist? sure i can. does that mean i have talent? fuck no.

  • "love what you love, and love what you do, and stop crying about it like a little bitch"

    best. quote. ever.

  • thanks, for this.

  • You know.... the people who are calling her fat.... and a bitch.... Shes making this video for the people like you. Grow up.

  • @lcameeno1 LMFAO! Your brother wanted to kill himself over some thirteen year old screwing around on YouTube?

    I say good fucking riddance. The world wouldn't miss idiots like that anyway.

  • @lcameeno1 Damn you A stupid cunt You Dumb ass bitch! cant wait till you get your ass beat! 13 and ur probably just some 9 year old Fuckin around on utube trying to find something to fap it to cuz you cant handle porn GTFO youtube and ur brother can go die Goodbye :)

  • Wow this girl is an inspiration why isn't she more famous than Justin Bieber??

  • Go fuck yourself you fat fuck obese bitch

    This just shows you've never had dick before

    Just go back to using your fingers you fat fuck!

  • @lcameeno1 hey, have you heard her sing? she can sing and you don't need to use that language to or about a person! she doesn't deserve that if you haven't heard her sing, LISTEN TO HER SING! SHE'S AN AMAZING SINGER!

  • @lcameeno1

    How does this prove she has never had dick before?

    That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

  • You have no idea how much I want to meet you.

  • Leave rebcca black alone

  • You are so amazing and inspiring. And I hate when people make fun of other people, even singers, even if they have a good voice. For example Justin Beiber, everyone is hatin on him, when he is just a teen, and he has a good voice. I am glad you brought attention to this and changed people's feelings about Rebecca Black. Just because she didn't make a perfect song doesn't mean she's a terrible person and should die. Wake up people!

  • I watched this video and subscribed you are amazing and I respect you

  • "i don't know where you've been if you think myspace is still a 'THING' but okay..." HAHA, OWNED!!!

  • I want to try and turn into the person you already are.

  • (I LOVE THE FACT THIS WAS ON MY BIRTHDAY XD)

    Dear M.T., Only though I saw a few of your videos tonight, and none before now. In my eyes you are such an amazing person :) to me your a hero. Before I saw one of your videos I was kinda down, but after my confidence blew through the roof. I looked for more, I haven't felt this great in so long. I love how you say you love the way you are and you mean it. I wish I can do that, and.. And speak my mind as powerful as you do. I wish I can 'sta

  • This is one of the most well thought-out and beautiful statements regarding the music industry, and how people are moved by music, that I have ever come across. Aside from being a very talented woman, you speak a lot of sense too!

  • thank you for this video I love you so much more now I agree with you 100% and also you have the sofest most hypnotizing voice I have ever heard I could listen to you all day about anything

  • I think I love you.

  • I have so much respect for you, the way you see things is similar to how I do and to put that out there for everyone takes some serious balls xD

    Oh, and that song in the background is beautiful, what is it?

  • Your amazing! I think I'm inlove with you haha want to come to Australia and go on a date? ;) haha x

  • You are my role model XxX

  • You are my role model for sure XxX

  • you are an amazing person and you will go far in life. you are truly blessed my dear. (:

  • You are such an amazing person! This video really made me like you even more as a muscian

  • Ahh! You are such a beautiful human being inside and out.

    All the people who bash on others because they simply aren't good enough for them, they aren't good enough themselves.

  • I fell in love with you, once again, when i saw this video. I couldn't agree more with everything you say Meghan. The world would be so much better if people were just ... more like you.

  • FAT now wait for the bad comments to roll in :0

  • I love you more than i did when i heard you sing.

    You speak the truth!

  • i love what you said. people should respect others. you do music because you enjoy it.

  • Rebeca black wouldnt have gotten as much hate as she did if every single person at school/workplace wouldnt sing the song constanly making it annoying as fuck. Remeber this is why im hot? Yeah same shit, not the end of the music industry.

  • Thank you for this video.

    You just reminded me why I feel in love with music in the first place. Sometimes I get so caught up on what others think and how perfect the song has to be that i forget that music isn't about gimmicks but about individuality and staying true to the music.

    You are amazing, I love your videos. Keep it up.

  • God I love you

  • You are suuuuuch a sweetheart.

    You sing beautifully.

    Your eyes are amazing in color.

    Eeep, Mayday Parade is lovely, but that's a bit sad what he said.

    Thanks for changing others' perspectives about music.

  • I Totally Fell In Love With You! :D!

    You Rock!

  • I strongly agree with you girl! People doesn't know that no matter how much hatred they put on Rebecca Black or other musicians, it won't stop her from moving forward. She sings or everybody sings for passion and not for gaining people's opinion. :)♫

  • You're such an inspiration; not only in your music but also in your views on life. So many people are giving away themselves - forgetting to be who they are. Peoples minds are being infected by other people telling them who they should be.

    Thank you for standing up for all of us who are not as courageous as you. You are truly amazing.

  • well the one who comments liike that.....he/she may be has some issues...

  • Genious, about time someone said something. I think it's ridiculous to tell someone to kill themselves just because they don't like the song. Respect.

  • Wow! I already said before you touch people's hearts with ur music, I guess not only with that! :) You touch their hearts with who you are! Thank you! Thank you for being there!

  • Awesome... you are great! Even the way you deliver your thoughts! The only thing (and I'm not a prude) that could have made this video better, would have been no bad words, but cause your argument is SO strong... sometimes I feel like bad words weaken an argument. They detract from it per se. But you did a great video and I really wish more people had the same opinion as you! Good job!

  • what is mayday parade

  • I agree with u! music is my everything!!!!

  • I LOVE YOU. although i'm not in the music industry it is my FAVORITE thing in the whole world!! I completely agree with you.

  • there were times in youtube, facebook or twitter where i wanted to comment on hate comments. But i thought 'oh well they're kids, once the grow older they will know better'. but after watching this i realized two things; 1. adults like the may day parade dude exists. 2. if we don't start telling children or teenagers off that its wrong to hate, there is a chance they will not get the message. imagine the future full of haters. id rather die then

  • The video won't play for me. D:

  • Rebecca Black is gay.

  • @Reidarization Really? So rebecca black came out as a full on lesbian? And if she was, whats wrong with that? are you implying that being gay is bad thing? I think you need to get a life and stop hating on a 13 year old.

  • This still doesn't change how I feel about Rebecca Black. In honest I could careless for any teen trying to make it big...your points are...great but really, if Rebecca Black was serious about singing she would of came out with a better song then Friday. In fact, I know most singers don't all have amazing songs but at least when they came out they had great songs that caught people's attention. Rebecca Black is just...bleh...and that's all I have to say on the matter.

  • <3

  • d'awwwwh ur soooo beautiful. i love u:) ur gonna change the world some day.!!!

  • you're just great

  • You are an exceptional person Meghan. Thank you for giving us the gift of yourself and your music. We need more people like you in our lives.

  • oh my god, I really really REALLY hope that stupid little idiot Jake from Mayday Parade sees this video!! you OWNED him girl!! and this honestly goes out to all the haters! you my dear, have got a new subscriber :D Bless youuuu! xx

    i just wanna say this again, I HOPE JAKE FROM MAYDAYPARADE SEES THISSSS!!

  • Also just wanted to say your videos are wonderful. You are truly a beautiful person inside and out and the world needs more people like you in it.

  • People are starting to step way over the line with their hate. It's getting truly disgusting at to the point they need to look in the mirror and ask who the hell they are to judge the way they do. You know what color I bleed? Red. Guess what, so do you. We're all one in the same no matter how you want to look at it. So if you wish so much harm on someone just because they're trying to pursue their dreams, maybe you should do something with your own life since you have nothing better to do.

  • Now that....is the most inspirational thing i've seen on here for a while. Wow. Changed my life.

  • Get the fuck out.

    Love it. :)

    Love you! x

  • you inspire me Meg :) don't ever change, cuz you're beautiful inside and out!! i wish i was more like you, kind hearted and thoughtful. you're one awesome lady.

  • You ma'am, just got another subscriber! :D

  • AMEN to that! :D i absolutely agree!

  • Maybe you should write a song about this. A song about a song. A song about cattle reactions. When I first came across "Friday, Friday," it was being called "the worst song ever." Does that mean I no longer have to judge it for myself?

  • You are pretty much the best!

  • "I dunno where you've been if you still think Myspace is still a thing."

    This made me laugh xDD

  • Good pep talk

  • preach it girl

  • you are so right!:)

    Cuz is just like people in my school/class hates justin bieber and keep saying he sings bad and stuff and i am sitting there thinking "He is doing what he loves to do.. liveing his dream and haveing a fantastisk life.." and you are sitting here bitching about him? ha i just want to say to the guy this:" HEY! you are sitting here bitching about justin? he don't even know you excist?? and he don't fucking care about you??? !" IF YOU DONT LIKE HIS MUSIC DON'T LISTEN TO IT!

  • ok its official- i love you

  • 76 people have no heart

  • I adore you. simply put, you are an inspiration.

  • Holy crap. Thank god for people like you. Thank god! I may only be like *age blocked* but Oh. My. Dear. God. That was just amazing. I LOVE you. :) Thank you <3

  • I love you and how you totally bashed that guy with just myspace.

    You're amazing, you changed my point of view, and I seriously thank you for that because you are an inspiration.

    Please, NEVER, NEVER, give up your singing! You're one of the most beautiful singer-songwriters I've ever seen on youtube, let alone the entire world.

  • wow, who are you! you are so inspirational, and funny all at the same time! Love you girl!

  • ur awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :)

  • i actually find that song catchy......

  • i love this i dont like rebecca black but i atleast respect her she has an amazing voice but the people changed her voice im still making music and writing songs with my band hopefully one day we will be big :DD that would be amazing 

  • ppl r so fuckin sad :/ she is actually not a bad singer they jus fucked it up by changin it :| gd on ya btw x

  • You are beautiful, inside and out. I have such great respect for you.

    

  • Wow... I'm bookmarking this vid

  • this video makes me want to hug you :o :)

  • You need get famous so I can go see you in concert.

    It's wonderful to hear someone take a stand for decency and joy.

  • I'm sure You're a very nice person.On her behalf,Thank You.

    Her song is horrible,but she's just a teen girl,she doesn't deserve those mean comments.Her voice is good though and she's talented!!!! She's only a 13 year old girl singing her first song,she can't be compared to a super star who has a whole industry behind them.She's good and I hope she gets over this traumatic experience,she doesn't deserve that.People are so mean,How can they hate a person based on a song???

  • thank you! someone who is trying to defend her!

  • This is amazing!

    Your words are truly inspiring,

    I don't like Rebecca Black.., I adore her! She has a very good voice and is talented...

    You are very pretty inside and out!

    Subscribing... ;)

  • this video saved my life it was so right music isn't a choice it is an infection that you either have or you dont......thank you for speaking up

  • You're beautiful.. inside and out!

  • @hanbone05

    I don't think anyone could be beautiful inside-out, you're disgusting.

    *Just joking*

  • Wow, so touching! You just made me think completely in a new way. It's not that I've ever said any of that to anyone. I would NEVER do that! But you just really touched me. Thanks for standing up for any musicians that have been told that. I very much respect you.

  • You are one of the most amazing people I've ever seen on YouTube. You made me completely rethink music and how it should be listened to.

  • May I just say you have made me think completely different about music, and me admitting I used to be one of those people who attacked Bieber, Cyrus and many other (though I've never told them to kill themselves, that's just wrong).

    Thank you for helping me understand :)

    Subscribing.

  • Wow just... Just wow. Why would you say that to someone or about someone I may not like her music(I couldn't get past 30 seconds) but I don't hate her why are people saying that(ok I'm going to stop right now because I don't want to turn this into a "leave brittny alone" type thing)

  • I don't like her music. But having someone tell someone else to go kill/ cut themselves is about one of the worst things that someone could say. YOU GO TONJES! :D

  • You go girl! Subscribing.

  • I feel the same way. You are right. And if people don't like her, or don't like her music, then leave her alone.  It's not cool. I agree with you, tonjesml. And those haters are just too damn stupid to realize everything I typed and everything you just said. You are completely right.

  • I dislike =Rebecca Black and her music intensely. However to even try to blame a 13 year old who probably only made the video because of her parents is unfair. I've seen the video of her trying to explain Friday as a deep and meaningful song and it just seems like a desperate attempt to get people from saying it's shit. Music is music and if people don't like your music then that's up to them but to hate someone because of their music is pathetic.

  • You are so right! Music is so important! It's too important to let someone else tell you what to love and what not to love. If you love the Friday song, then don't let anyone take it away from you. Music is just too amazing to be controlled by anyone else. I feel sorry for anyone who let themselves be kept away from their favorite music. I have, and it's not worth it.

  • i added this to my favorites, because you inspire me! :]

  • You have a very eloquent way with words. Listening to you rant (for lack of a better word) is quite enjoyable, because I always appreciate someone who is able to speak up against the hatred in this world.

  • Wow. I don't know what to say. You ranting/speaking is as beautiful as your music. You are truly an amazing person and I have so much respect for you. This video made my day.

  • You are such a wonderful person and I wish people where more like you.

  • I LOVE YOU YOU ARE MY HERO AND I JUST STARTED WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS TODAY!!! i watch the friday song and it was pretty freaking horrible but i listen to a differnt one and it wasent that bad it was pretty good!!!! :) but i love you BTW!! :) <3

  • i agree with everything your saying, but maybe he wanted to give up because he thinks that maybe the industry will become just some joke of somebody who has no talent at all and the number of hours, money spent on lessons and instruments go to waste, i agree music is life changing, but why work so hard when people who do nothing make it big, that's just my pow.

  • 2:37-2:55 made me think of this great post on austin kleon's blog called "how to steal like an artist (and 9 other things nobody told me)". check it out, i wish i'd been told these things before!

  • "i don't know where you've been that you think myspace is still a thing" :)

  • I'm sorry I love you Meghan, but I think Rebecca Black is in fact the worst thing in the music industry.

  • dear god, you're such a good person. thank you. thanks for the wise words.

  • Comment removed

  • You r 100% right

  • OMG why arent their more level headed ppl like you in the world????

  • Exactly people make too big of a deal over a song. She's still a person.

  • I hate Rebecca Blacks song Friday, it's got stupid lyrics, but she has potential to do other things I feel. Because the music is catchy.

  • I hate Rebecca's song. Not because she stinks, because she doesn't, but because the song wasn't written by her. I bet she could write better lyrics than that fat Usher, who's been ruining a lot of teenage girls' lives by making them sing the crappy music that he makes to get a quick buck. If that's what music has been made to be, nothing but Autotune where it's not needed and an easy way of getting money, I'm not gonna listen to that kind of music. It's sickening.

  • You were really right, nobody should be a fucker just cause their not famous.

  • I have never heard someone describe their passion as eloquently as this. You are a truly beautiful person inside and out.

  • YOU are awesome!

  • Kudos Meghan! It's about time someone take a stand for that poor girl, and for singers in general! I agree, people on youtube are freakin stupid sometimes in the things that they say to bring others down! It's horrible and wrong, but it's become reality! It's good to know that there are people like you who won't simply put up with it though!!!!

  • Okay...1st of all...Thank you. c: You. Are. Amazing. You sing brilliantly and you are protecting this song. I like this song a lot...And I think you are an amazing singer...So...Thank. You. C:

  • lol

    "cuz we we we.. we so excited... we so excited" you almost made that sound poetic

  • I just found you on youtube, I watched this video. AND NOW I FREAKING LOVE YOU. All I can say is thank you :)

  • I was struck by the "Friday Plague" and was disgusted by the song and the voice at first. But when I saw her sing the Anthem I saw that she was actually pretty frikin good, just the song didn't fit her well so it ruined her voice a bit.

    The thing that gets me though is that these young child stars just seemingly pop up out of nowhere and instantly get fame (Not everyone of course) but then there's people who try so hard with all their heart and get denied. It doesn't make sense to me :/

  • Meghan, you are a wise woman. You truly are a role model for people everywhere. Its nice to have a positive role model for kids in a world full of evil, prejudice, and hate.

  • I love what you have said and it's sooo true !!!!!!!

    X

  • <33

    

  • So if you check your facebook fan page... The kid who said he was going to marry you. It's because of this video. ILOVEYEW! <3 :3 *Is now your like number one stalker*
