Rebecca Black continued her TV blitz with an appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.”

The poised 13-year-old YouTube sensation told Leno that being an overnight sensation is “so weird.”

Black then discussed how she recorded “Friday,” and that she was “omigosh yeah” surprised how quickly it took off.

She admitted that cruel comments about her and the song initially hurt. “I cried, you know, but I’m 13… Being a teenager you know, you care about what other people think about you, so I was like all of the world hates me I’m gonna die.” But she says she now doesn’t pay attention to the negativity.

Despite the backlash, Black said she has a fan in Ryan Seacrest, and noted Simon Cowell “wants to meet me.” Other stars who have reached out to her include Nicole Richie, Joel Madden, and Will Smith.

The teen also told Leno she’s giving the big bucks she’s made from the song to those suffering in Japan, as well as to her school.

Check out Black’s chat with Leno – and a performance of “Friday” – below!

    Why are they playing the original while she’s singing live?

    that’s cool she’s going to use the money for Japan and her school, but i still think she’s a lousy song writer

    She didn’t write the song! her parents paid someone to write it for her and to produce the video.All her supposed good intentions aside, she is nothing but a spoiled little rich kid. The fact that people are being so taken by her shows the real state of our civilization. Sad!

    The auto-tune is SOOOOOO obvious. It’s really stupid if they expect us to believe that she’s actually singing live.

    There is not a singer in this generation that doesn’t use autotune….
