Black was rubbished for her Auto-Tuned vocals and repetitive lyrics in Friday but has since become a huge star. 
She even performed an acoustic version of Friday for ABC but fans were still unconvinced. 
Black insisted: 'I think I have talent on some level, I don't think I'm the worst singer, but I don't think I'm the best singer.'
