Hey everyone, I wanted to post this thread because out of all of my friends I'm really the only one that likes Justin Bieber. They find this odd since I'm a 24 year old male I guess, but I do like him and have him on my iPod and listen to him often. I think he is very talented. I'm not like a teen girl (OMG JUSTIN BIEBER *cries*) but I do like his music. I think it's cool that he's only 17, can' dance, play drums, guitar, trumpet, piano, and sing (all of the arguably I guess) and that he writes or co-writes most of his stuff. I really don't think his voice is half bad either. I also love that he's just like a normal kid and likes doing normal kid stuff.

What are your thoughts on him? Like him? Can't stand him? Please share. Thanks!

The stuff is like fire to my ears, but I love how when you slow him down 800 times it sounds like Sigur Ros.

I never think of Justin Bieber. I refuse to think of Justin Bieber in any way, shape or form. Thanks a lot, DM, for forcing me to see his name every time I click on New Posts.

It's not my kind of music. It's not my scene. I don't hate it or like it. I'm utterly indifferent to him and most of the other artists from his genre and background. The only thing that ever makes me think of him is when someone else brings him up.

On a personal level, he did say some deeply ignorant things about rape victims a while back. Probably due to a mixture of his conservative religious upbringing and the overall naivety of youth. I'd give him a year or two to grow up and expand his brain a little before judging that too harshly. If he still believes women are "raped for a reason" when he's 25, we'll have serious beef on that level. Until then he's just some kid.

This is so amazing.

He's a demon from some level of Hell.

I am a teenage girl and I can't stand him.

Im concerned that he might be the Antichrist.

I really don't like this music style

 

[saxyphonist]

He's about as talented as Rebecca Black.

I recognised him when he was on CSI but I don't think I have ever heard his music.... and I have no plans to listen to it in the future.

No, the Antichrist has already issued forth from Lady Gaga's loins, on June 6, 2006. He is rumored to be sequestered somewhere in Pripyat, and his devoted mommy visits him four times a year, which explains the horns, amongst other things.

Its possible I guess, seeing as the last photo I saw of her, spiky things seemed to be trying to claw their way out of her face... anyway I dont mind her apart from that strange under skin spike situation.

I think he is no worse than many other successful artists in the charts.

 

[Kjesta]

I've never heard a single one of his songs, only snippets, and I wasn't impressed.

What did make me laugh at him, though, was the Grammy Awards - I was only watching for Florence and The Machine, who was nominated in the same category as Justin Bieber. Neither got the award, but as soon as the winner was announced, Flo was cheering and clapping for the winner. Justin? Looking sooo pissed-off he didn't get the award. Teehee.

That's what he wants you to think.
