" Rebecca Black has revealed that she is working on a debut album, which she hopes will silence her &amp;quot;upsetting&amp;quot; critics.  The 13-year-old, who became a global phenomenon after posting her single &amp;#039;Friday&amp;#039; on YouTube, confirmed plans to release a follow-up track entitled &amp;#039;LOL&amp;#039;, taken from an LP that she is working on with Flying Pig Productions.  The Sun quotes Black as warning her detractors: &amp;quot;You think you are bringing me down and making me not want to do this any more. But you&amp;#039;re making me stronger and want to do it even more.  &amp;quot;Here I am in a studio working on my debut album. I&amp;#039;m going to prove you wrong. Just like &amp;#039;Friday&amp;#039;, the new songs are pretty catchy.&amp;quot; Despite pressing ahead with her unlikely rise to stardom, Black confessed to struggling with &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;negative Nancies&amp;quot; when the song first started racking up hits. She added: &amp;quot;It was really upsetting. These people don&amp;#039;t know me and it really hurt at first. I cried a little bit, I&amp;#039;m only 13.  &amp;quot;I thought, &amp;#039;Should I not have done this? What have I done wrong?&amp;#039; People were saying, &amp;#039;You&amp;#039;re the worst singer, this is the worst song&amp;#039;. They criticised my voice and the lyrics.  &amp;quot;But I call them negative Nancies. They can try to rain on my parade, but as far as I&amp;#039;m concerned they are raining on their own parade. Just face it - it is a catchy song. It gets stuck in my head.&amp;quot; Black has already garnered a number of celebrity fans, including Simon Cowell and Lady GaGa. &amp;amp;gt; Rebecca Black: &amp;#039;Friday success indescribable&amp;#039;  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
