Could you guys just remind me again for a second?
Who has a deal with Island Records?
Who has an EP which is platinum in the US, Canada and Great Britain as well as a studio album which is platinum in both the US and Canada?
Who had a top 3 American single (1st in some countries)?
Who is doing a North American tour which sold out in a matter of minutes?
Who has a net worth of over $5 million?
Who is only 16 years old?

Because I'm pretty sure it isn't you.

How come I have no idea who that guy is other than "some dude with something to do with music, that someone on here apparently found dodgy images of".

Seriously.

I'm not interested enough to actually search Google or Youtube. I'm much more fascinated by all this "amazing" fame and how I manage to remain fairly clueless.... Then again, Danish radio and occasional Danish TV, so maybe not the best chances of finding out, but still...

I agree with it being a cycle, though. Cyrus and them brothers were also hated popularity fads I never really knew by more than name and others hating them...

He got lucky. It happens all the time. people hate him because it didn't happen to them. personally, I find everything he does hilarious.

I do not hate him.

I find his lack of musical talent disturbing though. Everything that is shoved in to the media is a piece of crap, real talent is not heard of anymore, certainly not with Auto-Tuning.

Real artists such as Alicia Keys in this modern day world are the ones that should be taking the limelight more then they are getting, artists who sings from the soul and inspires a nation, not singing for the next paycheck to cause chaos between the people.

Not some scrawny 16 year old whos ball bag will drop in the next year and no one will even want to know of him.

In 10 years time it will be 'Justin Who?'

Oh please just shut the #F up. There's no need to get all pissy because people keep bashing your hero, grow the #F up. And the reason people "hate" him is because he has no musical talent at all, i don't care how much money he's got or how many cds he sells, he will always lack talent.

-Whose voice is so high that (without auto-tuning) it is only audible to dogs and fangirls?
-Who has absolutely no discernible talent for music?
-Whose lyrics are dull and unoriginal?
-Who looks so Bishonen he should sparkle like Edward Cullen?

Ignored much? Lawl
They are talking about Justin Bieber.

Theres lots of things wrong with him, but hey theres lots of things wrong with everybody that's famous. So yeah, I don't like him, but I don't hate him, I just change the radio station, and guess what happens when you do that!!! Life goes on!!
OMGSH!!

Quite true, but sometimes they share positive correlations.

I guess I just become tired of &quotopular" peoples faces pasted everywhere and blame them for their success. Because when I think about it I would not want to be doing what the are involved in. Therefore there is no jealously attributed to their success which should lead me to passive neutrality on the subject even if I dislike the music they produce. Can you actually dislike someone you don't know?

I think that these words are more magical than &quotlease" and "thank you".
