Who The Hell Is This Justin Beiver?!?

[payndz201]

I'd never heard of this kid until about a week ago (I make no active attempt whatsoever to keep up with pop culture; I tend to pick stuff up via osmosis through other sources), and then suddenly he was inescapable. TV, radio, internet... it seemed as though it was the media that had Bieber Fever, not the screaming teenage girls.

 

[RoJoHen]

This generation's version of Backstreet Boys or N'Sync.

You shut your dirty mouth.

 

[TheBrew]

The music is the usual sort of tween pop crap, but he's a great source of humor on Twitter*. I think it's the name. BEEBER.


Edit: *And Tumblr.

Am I the only one a bit disturbed that Spiff is following him on Twitter?

 

[species5618]

On behalf of Canada, I'd like to apologize for his creation.

I would as well...along with Celine Dion and Bryan Adams and of course, Nickelback.

*shudders*

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

It's Justin Bieber... and yes, I'm embrassed to know that.

"Justin Beaver" is better.

So true. I kinder first heard of him from a facebook page. And then I saw what happened when he visited Australia. Thankfully my radio station won't play his music.

 

[Yoda]

Every once in a while a young dude or two with that kind of haircut who answers to the Queen makes the girls shriek by writing catchy tunes about how much they like girls. Who cares?

That's right, Bieber = The Beatles.

I scold my 14 year old brother when he bitches about Bieber because if his music doesn't appeal to you the normal thing to do would be to not care about the kid instead of spending time and effort and going out of your way to criticize and/or insult the guy.

Seriously, if I complained about every musical artist I didn't like I wouldn't have time to do anything else.

The general consensus is that people here are fed up with being fed the pop-tart-of-the-week every time they flip a channel or visit a website.

 

[Nowhere Man]

I just caught something on the news about some jerk kid called Justin Beiver(apparently all the girls have Beiver Feaver now! )and how he is the new big thing.

Ironic since he looks about twelve and would be lucky to crack four foot!

Apparently some Kiwi girls stole his hat upon arrival at Auckland airport and would only give it back with the promise of physical intimacy from said Beiver person.

Apparently Beiver Fever turns you into a thief and a child molester AND makes you lose your taste in music and male aesthetics.

Another story had Sydney girls as young as thirteen camping out alone in the middle of the city, sans parents, in a concert area and found by police at 3am!!!

Where the FUCK are there parents?

Oh I know where they are, one has the police waiting on speed dial so they can blame them when their idiotic brood goes missing, abducted by kiddie snatchers. The other clueless dolt of a "parent" has either "A Current Affair" or "Today Tonight"(choose your poison when it comes to ridiculous early evening tabloid news shows)hanging, ready to blame the police, concert organizers and the Sydney City Council because there was not enough adequate supervision to look after their little bitch when they left them there at 1am, in the middle of the city, surrounded by drunks and child molesters.


God.

All I can hope is that Beiver Fever is fatal and they ALL bloody die of it.

Trust me, you don't wanna know. Just another bullshit Disney creation.

Justin Bieber is a no talented joke.
If you listen to his songs he hardly sings in them. Most of his music fet. big hitting R&B singers like Ludicrous.
The main reason he is so big is because Justin Timberlake backed him for a year before he hit the top of the charts most likely do to Timberlake's connections.
Bieber will be old news before the world ends in 2012.

Are these the same people who post how Hollywood is out of ideas?

I'm referring to Twitter's ubiquitous Bieber-mocking, of course.

Although, if his tweets were as unintentionally hilarious as Scott Baio's, I'd be tempted.

Because each generation has less and less to look up to as good role models...

Is it any wonder why our entertainment industry is so much in trouble? One Generation has Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson, etc. And another has people like Justin Bieber. If you look at any other generation, be it the 80's or the 70's or the 60's, you had more to look up to, and they were larger than life. Now you have reality shows churning out instant stars; just add water, give them a microphone and ta-da, instantly famous!

Nearly every network or channel now has a reality show. I can't channel surf without seeing more than a dozen airing at any given time. Sometimes, like at 1pm, I can't find anything worthwhile to watch because the airwaves are all taken over by reality shows. It's cheap to make, and it's fluff. So much so that not only do we get American versions, but Canada has its own versions as well, which doubles things. And I hear we're supposed to be getting a reality show network in Canada, the irony being that Fox in the US apparently is pulling its own reality show network. These things are good in moderation, like a donut, but to be shoved at us constantly.... well, it's pretty shallow entertainment.

And then CNN is more interested in tweets than news... I hope that in the future we can look back and laugh and wonder what the world was thinking, unless things get worse.

Look out for Drake. Another Canadian joke. Saw his performance at the Junos and this guy made Bieber sound good. I liked him when he was in Degrassi, but that's when he was acting, not singing. You know someone's in trouble when they auto-tune a live performance.

 

[Too Much Fun]

I love the misspelling of the kid's last name in this thread title. I had the same reaction when I first found out about him. I only heard of him when I temporarily taught a grade 7 class and the girls in it were all talking about him.

I was like, "Justin Beaver? What is that? A cartoon character?" I only realized the proper spelling of his name when some girl put his last name beside hers on an assignment she handed in, meaning they're married.

Why is he a jerk?

No, he isn't.

Really, I don't get all the hate. I don't care for his music at all myself, but then I'm not the target audience. Neither are any of you. Why does anyone care enough to hate him?

 

[Brent]

he'll be a drug addict before you know it, his late teen years he'll be in the news for overdosing or something

Ask this girl she seems to know.

No need to run away, because I thought the very same thing. The Beatles were originally dismissed as being another "teen" sensation at first by their critics, known more for causing legions of girls to scream than for their music.

It wasn't until after that initial teenage insanity died down a bit that people really started looking at their songs, IMO.

Very few acts can go from being the "teeny-bopper" sensation of the moment to one of the greatest recording artists of all time...

 

[Lookingglassman]

I want to know also. It is like this moron just magically appeared out of thin air.
