Why does no one like Justin Bieber

Michael Jackson is actually a fascinating comparison to Justin Bieber.

Michael Jackson made excellent music (early on anyway), and had real talent. He has been hyped beyond belief since becoming famous. He turned out to be an awful, crazy person. There are fewer things more universally despised in humanity than a child predator, and everyone suspects Michael was guilty of this. Yet, somehow, despite all of that, he is unbelievably loved.

Bieber makes crap music and has no real talent. He has also been hyped beyond belief since becoming famous. But he's not an insane person (yet) who has done awful things that people despise. Yet his is mostly hated.

People love talent, and will forgive all sorts of awful behavior if you're talented.

Well said. Also I agree with your earlier point that there is good pop music out now. Foster the People and Grouplove come to mind. Also, the fangirls that love Beiber can't admit that they love him because they like his music, because they don't. They love him because it's the cool thing (among girls) to do.
 
Look the usual homers giving likes Taylor Swift sheesh , not even in Biebers league. -- BIEBERNINJA

Wasted the time to reply back must be a closet Beliber. -- BIEBERNINJA

I jest

Ray Lewis, all American hero and widely loved. Implicated in a double murder that never gets talked about. Contrasted with Michael Vick. His career's just gone to the dogs.

I do find that really interesting. With Lewis the murder stuff is well known but mostly just gets glossed over. With Vick the dogfighting ring is permanently tied to his name.

Bieber is a legend. The haters just don't want to admit they're jealous of his lifestyle.

Why would I be jealous of someone who is one of the most hated public figures in Western society? (Even when you take into account his legion of minions). He's a spoiled brat who acts like a child and has no measurable musical skills (which is why all his songs are written for him), he once said that rape "Happens for a reason", he was rightfully arrested for street racing, he turns up late and someones not at all for concerts swathes of horny teenage girls have paid to see (God knows why), and he had the audacity to suggest that Anne Frank would have appreciated what can only be described as auto-tuned noise on his part if she was alive today.

The sister of a girl I know actually started crying when she heard Bieber got arrested. Proof that humanity is regressing.
 
Because he's a very talented jackass who has everything we want and takes it for granted whilst consistently getting away with things that get regular guys years in the can. It's that simple.
 
From what I can find... two octaves. Not bad, but not outstanding. He's got a nice, mellow voice, but that's about it. There are a lot of young boys with voices just as good or better.

It's all about the hair. :lol:


Justin Bieber is nowhere near as talented as Vanilla Ice.

Nobody is as talented as Vanilla Ice.
 
Go to any Wikipedia article about his songs (or any song by a mainstream American artist) and you will find that 90% of them are not written by the artists themselves.
 
He can sing better (range-wise) than most people can dream of doing, unfortunately. His only redeeming quality.

Two octave is a pretty unremarkable range. I have a bigger range than that and I don't claim to be a singer by any means. Freddie Mercury had something like 4, Mariah Carey has 6!
