After reading the harsh reviews of " Friday " , Black said that " those hurtful comments really shocked me " . ARK Music offered to take the video down from YouTube , but Black refused the offer , saying that she did not wish " to give the haters the satisfaction that they got me so bad I gave up " . Black 's father has accompanied her in public to guard against potential accosters . In response to criticism over the song 's significant use of Auto-Tune , Black performed an acoustic version during an interview with ABC News , which earned over 180,000 dislikes on YouTube ( 84 % of total ratings ) by November 2011 . Later in the interview Black 's mother , Kelly , stated that she was " angry and upset " after Black was brought to tears by comments , such as " I hope you go cut yourself and die " and " I hope you cut yourself and get an eating disorder so you 'll look pretty . " Black said , however , that soon she was able to ignore such comments , and asked Justin Bieber , her idol , to perform a duet with her . Although Bieber has not released an official announcement regarding the offer , he posted on Twitter " sunday comes after saturday ? weird . " Bieber later sang part of the chorus at one of his concerts . '' Rolling Stone '' s Perpetua again praised Black after the interview and said , " She is actually a pretty decent singer . ... She is a total sweetheart . ... Black comes off as a well-adjusted , happy and grateful kid . " He also pointed out Black 's intention to donate part of the profits from the song to school arts programs and relief efforts in Japan following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami . Benni Cinkle , who became known as " that girl in pink " and appears during the second verse of the video , released her own song entitled " Can You See Me Now " and created an anti-bullying organization ( That Girl In Pink Foundation ) due to the negative response she got from " Friday "
