Rebecca Black has been receiving some major love from the Hollywood community. While many have been busy making parodies of her much-talked-about new single "Friday", the 13-year-old is keeping her head high and making TV interview rounds. And it really helps that she has music industry heavy-hitter Simon Cowell in her corner.
“Love it!” Simon Cowell told Entertainment Weekly of Rebecca's "Friday."
Simon may be known for his harsh-tongued critiques of musicians from his American Idol days, but the mogul certainly has respect for Rebecca.

"It reminds me of ‘Saturday Night,’ do you remember that 1994 song by Whigfield? It’s what we call a ‘hair-dryer song,’ a song girls sing into their hair dryers as they’re getting ready to go out. But the fact that it’s making people so angry is brilliant.”
