There are probably a lot of teenage girls who would be thrilled to bits if Katy Perry decided to sing one of their songs during her concert.<\/p>\n

But not Rebecca Black, who will no doubt be feeling a little disappointed with the Firework star’s ‘tribute’ to her.<\/p>\n

Perry poked fun at the teenager when she performed her song ‘Friday’ at her gig in Melbourne yesterday.<\/p>\n

Scroll down for the videos…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Mocking:<\/p>\n

Mocking: Katy Perry sang an acoustic and tuneless version of Rebecca Black’s Friday on stage in Melbourne last night<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And Katy decided the only way to sing it was out of tune, mocking the fact that the 13-year-old used auto-tuning on her vocals.<\/p>\n

As she started an acoustic set during the gig, Katy, 25, with a mocking wide-eyed look on her face, declared to the crowd: ‘So I can’t play the flute. But that’s ok. Because everything magical happens on a Friday.’<\/p>\n

She received loud cheers from the audience inside the Rod Laver Arena, with one, who was recording the performance, declaring: ‘No way’.<\/p>\n

\"You<\/p>\n

You know the words: With a sarcastic look on her face, Katy led the audience into a rendition of the chorus<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Katy kept the mocking look on her face throughout the ‘tribute’, waving her arms in the air as the audience laughed and sang along with her.<\/p>\n

And she sang the last line of the chorus\u00a0 – ‘Everybody’s lookin’ forward to the weekend’ – purposely out of tune.<\/p>\n

She then clutched her chest and sarcastically told her fans: ‘I’m so glad that someone wrote a song about Friday.<\/p>\n

‘Finally. Who was that?’<\/p>\n

\"Big<\/p>\n

Big Down Under: Rebecca Black, seen here arriving at LAX airport yesterday, had 15,000 Melbourne fans singing her song<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Rebecca Black, who comes from California, shot to fame earlier this year after heavily auto-tuned video of Friday went viral.<\/p>\n

But unfortunately for the teen, it attracted a barrage of criticism and even death threats after her video was viewed by more than 110 million times on YouTube.<\/p>\n

And Black admitted she was shaken by the vicious comments she received online.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Good Morning America last month, she said: ‘When I first saw all these nasty comments I did cry. I felt like this was my fault and I shouldn’t have done this and this is all because of me. Now I don’t feel that way.’<\/p>\n
