​There may or may not be a Rebecca Black concert at Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall in June.

Some outlets, such as our sister paper in Orange County, have reported the fliers for Black's mall tour are not a joke. The New York Times had reported the same thing but is now backpedaling.

Masley wrote a piece defending the girl and is presumably hanging a poster of Black in his cubicle as we speak. In his piece, Masley recounts Black's activities on the Friday in question with almost in much detail as Black herself, then concludes it's all a joke but still calls it "great":

"The chorus sounds like Ke$ha writing singles for the Disney Channel -- in a good way -- effectively paving the way for a truly ridiculous call and response between Black and a wall of vocalists shouting back "Yeah" to her nasal delivery of "Partyin', partyin'."

I'm not sure how anything could sound like Ke-dollar-sign-h-a "in a good way" but I salute Masley's efforts to make the counterintuitive argument.

At this point there is no performance nor officially scheduled date for Rebecca Black to host a concert at Scottsdale Fashion Square. For additional information, visit www.rebeccablackonline.com.
