I like him. He's a decent kid. Maybe he can be a good role model for teens.
My Justin Bieber Rant

I suspect that there is no actual such human being as Justin Bieber, he is in fact a synthetic personality which sprang to life on YouTube and has managed to infect the real world, kind of like Russell Crowe's serial killer Sid 6.7 in Virtuosity.
Would explain a lot, wouldn't it?

I heard so much about him that I thought well he must have some talent. But then I heard him sing - he really isn't much of a singer, I mean not much voice at all. Then I saw him dance - he really isn't much of a dancer either. For right now, this seems to all be about looks and hype and not much else.
But in all fairness, saw him on Letterman last week and the kid can play drums.

Wait a minute. Justin Bieber is male? All this time I thought he was a young lesbian.

Yep. He's an average singer, average dancer. Good kid, though. Hopefully when the hype machine drops him (and they will, like they do most people), he'll tuck and roll into something fulfilling.
Call me odd, but I always felt Bieber sounded better with other people singing on top of him (not literally, that would be hideous). 
Zero interesting to his music, but he ain't as bad as Nickelback or Celine Dion. Other famous Canadian music exports.
How long will he last? Don't know, as he never gets played on the radio station I listen.

Yeah, everything about this kid is objectively horrible, but if it wasn't him all over the media it would be someone equally objectionable. It's not like he's muscling out something I actually would enjoy. He's occupying the spot in the zeitgeist that's always occupied by something terrible.

Eh, Justin Bieber totally fits into my world view. The fact that he is successful explains why horrible crap like for instance Transformers and other stuff makes shitloads of money. It's the same target audience.
*ding, ding*
And we have a winner!
I cannot remember the last time I more fully agreed with a post.
Truly, I cannot believe the amount of time spent on this kid by people who should not care. You cannot go to ANY video on YouTube without reading a 'discussion' (if you could call some of the comments made on YouTube 'discussion') of this kid - usually in the form of semi-lunatic, marginally literate, ranting. And I'm not just talking about pop videos, either. I'm talking about the heavier side of rock (the niche I typically frequent).
Seriously - go to YouTube and pick pretty much any video - however far removed from this kid's kind of music. And I'll promise you that there will be some sort of comment - usually on the first page of comments, about this child.
But why? Because you are absolutely right - if it wasn't this kid, it would be someone else, manufactured by the music industry to lure in the teeny-bops. There is absolutely nothing 'new' about this - different face...but same phenomenon that has been going on since *I* was 10 years old and could not get enough Shaun Cassidy, just because 16 Magazine threw him at me on the cover of every issue (no internet then - we teeny-bops of the 70's had to rely on fan magazines with names we could only aspire to, like '16'
). Actually, it is great that the following video is so old, because it's just blurry enough to prove my point: the 1970's Shaun Cassidy who I was all crazy in love with as a teeny bop is completely interchangeable with Justin Bieber of 2011. Seriously - watch the thing and tell me I'm wrong

The good news, however, is that little girls grow up, and pretty much all of us leave that nonsense behind once we begin, as Trekker brought up, to discover the difference between little boys and men.
But it will never go away - not as long as there are a) little girls; and b) a music industry interested in selling shit to said little girls.
Why care at all? People claim to hate Bieber. I don't hate him. I don't like his music either. I just choose not to bother paying attention to the hype. I respect the fact that he's come along way in a very short time. He's just like any other teen pop star who eventually fades away. He's hot for two or three years then we don't hear anything from him ever again. He kind of reminds me of Aaron Carter. Who knows how long he'll last though.
Well, I'd take Bieber over Arcade Fire
Hey, I just found my first reason to ever use the block feature...
Really, though, Bieber doesn't bother me. He's terrible, but as others said, if he wasn't around, there'd be someone else equally bad to take his place.
This is the type of fan this brat has.....
