I read it somewhere on the internet, so it must be true.
I can assure you Ms. Black did not write that biographical account of wonderful she is and how she should be admired. A paid publicist wrote it. It doesn't have to be true, it just has to sound good to win the support of haters and dissenters. So what if she has been studying how to be a singer/songwriter since age 3? She is still awful and judging by the current status of western musical culture, isn't going to be proving her worth anytime soon.
Rebecca Black isn't largely hated because of her first song/video (although it WAS terrible). She is hated because she represents everything wrong with the modern music industry and its pandering to talentless, auto-tuned and over-hyped "artists." The assumption that producers can focus a camera on a somewhat attractive tween, use digital technology to improve the quality of her lackluster singing, and then publicize the hell out of her when she receives less than favorable praise is just arrogant and played out. There is no skill or talent involved in what she does. Anyone can talk in cadence with rhythm and call it a song. It takes a special type of performer to go beyond that. Some producer somewhere saw an opportunity to make some easy money and took it. That's it.
Seriously Oleg, it sounds like you're showing your support for Ms. Black just so in the event that she does become more successful you can save face and say "Ha ha! Told you so!"
