In retrospect, the song isn't THAT horrible. It's bad, yeah, but not bad enough to deserve as much hate as it got.
But the lyrics should seriously have gotten a second draft. If only she could just pick any damn seat, sit down, and write it.
The lyrics are horrible and the autotune is on par with "Alvin and the chipmunks". It's shite through and through.
However, she was 13 at the time and doing as she was told and having fun doing that.
She made a good choice at 16 though. She literally fired everyone involved it it.
Her story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiWXeWQAsUE
More importantly, she actually put out better songs on her own later on with much less manipulation. Its not at all my taste of music, but I acknowledge her actual talent for singing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxZ_fIAJZpw
