You may not recognize the song "My Moment," but the singer, Rebecca Black, has generated more buzz online this year than any pop star in the world.

"My Moment," which premiered last night on the Internet, is the 14-year-old Black's second video, a song anticipated by legions of fans - and curious critics.

Tye Comer, editor of Billboard.com, said the teen's first single, "Friday," makes her "arguably the biggest pop culture sensation of the year.

"I mean, Justin Bieber a run for his money with this. There's no way that you're going to be able to review pop music of the past year and not spend a great deal of time thinking about Rebecca Black's 'Friday.'"

"Friday" was released online in February, and instantly went viral.

So far, "My Moment" has gotten more than 600,000 hits on YouTube.

In an "Early Show" interview Tuesday, Black admitted the pressure to produce another hit to rival "Friday" was "hard."

"'Friday' was such a hit. And so, to get something, you have to find the perfect song that kind of tells off the haters a little bit, but still shows that you're a serious artist," she said.

Nguyen reported, love it or hate it, there's no denying the success of "Friday." With a whopping 167 million hits on YouTube, the song and those simple, stuik-in-your-head lyrics brought Black instant fame. The video generates 100 comments every single minute on YouTube, and is the hottest trending topic on Twitter.

Black's "Friday" fame includes a firestorm of criticism. Negative comments faulted the teen's voice and inexperience, and even included death threats. Hollywood rallied with praise and parody. Even amateurs got in on the act with send-ups of her work.

"Early Show" co-anchor Rebecca Jarvis remarked, "You talk about telling off the haters. How do you deal with some of that negativity? I mean, obviously, you can put your music out there. But in those private moments, what do you turn to?"

Black said her mom has been her best supporter.

"She's always supported me, ever since I was a little 2-year-old in dance recitals. So, I mean, it's hard, because you have to deal with bullying, being a teenager, anyways. And now, to have the whole world -- I mean, that's not normal. So, I mean, luckily, the haters don't have to watch 'Friday' or 'My Moment.' So they can turn it off if they want. They don't have to hate. But it doesn't bother me anymore."

But Black was also game in spoofing herself, even joining Katy Perry's spoof, "Last Friday Night."

Billboard's Comer said making a satire herself gave her a "little cool factor that she didn't have and really made people look at her in a different way."

Black said reaching that "cool factor" comes from working with big stars like Perry and having confidence in yourself.

Black advised her fans, speaking from her experience, to never let the bullying get to you, saying, "It's OK to be sad about (bullying) for a little bit, but don't let it change you permanently."

When asked about what has amazed her most about the fame, she said, "Oh, gosh, that's a hard question. All of it has been so amazing. I mean, from working with Katy Perry to doing 'Funny or Die' to hosting a party for MTV, it's all just insane."

Speaking of Black's fame and new more serious song, Comer, of Billboard.com, said, "The only risk would be if Rebecca Black takes herself too seriously as long as she continues to have fun, people will want to have fun with her."
