Rebecca Black got caught lip syncing on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" Tuesday. The backing track on "Friday" began before Black even had the microphone in her hands. She continued to mouth the words along with the song.

 

 

Black has said she wants to release an acoustic version of her song to prove that she can sing without AutoTune. "Friday" has been streamed more than 35 million times on YouTube.

Despite a lot of Internet mocking, she's received messages of support from Lady Gaga, Simon Cowell, Ryan Seacrest and Nicole Richie. After appearing on Leno, Black Tweeted that she met "Limitless" star Bradley Cooper at the show: "ASDFGHJKLKIOP I JUST MET BRADLEY COOPER. OMG. I almost fainted."
