While typing this I am listen to a Justin Bieber tune called 'Mistletoe' on YouTube, after it finishes I will load up another one, possibly a third. Forgive me, its for science.
I am reading so much on YouTube about how much he sucks, and how those who 'dislike' good music tracks must be Bieber fans.
... So 'Pray' has just started. Ok, this is not my kind of music, but the boy can sing, even if it is rumoured he cannot sing live. I so often find far far worse.
Why the hate? His videos are syrupy, that much is true, but allowing for what else is out there at the moment surely people are barking at the wrong tree.
... 'Pray' just finished. I am not up for track number 3, I will go back to other things. My little dip into the world of Justin Bieber has refirmed the belief that you shouldnt beleive the hype though.
Could it be this kid is unpopular because of what he does offstage? I would'nt know I dont follow celeb gossip. But if it is true why are others still popular who have transparently so much less to offer. Bieber appears to be 'boy next door' and marketing spin aside he must be a better role model for youth than a plastic doll like Katy Perry or Lady Gaga and far more accessible. A kid with a guitar can be the next Bieber if he works on it, while it would take a whales worth of lipstick to make a new Gaga. Could it be his very mundanity that works against him?
Someone tell me, I would like to know.

His interviews are solid and often hilarious. Kid has a really good head on his shoulders. Honestly it's because he does pop. Pop =/= metal, therefore it sucks apparently
I hold no particular dislike for him, I just don't like that style of music.
If he turns into a massive, inflated ego asshat, then yes, I will hate him.
Spoiler:
Hmm, it's starting already.

There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.
I don't like his music, but I can respect him. At the ripe old age of 17, he's a millionaire, a massive pop star, and can date anyone he wants. Dude's a fething boss.

Honestly, I joke about hatin' on the Beebster, but i've heard bits of a few tracks, and he appears to be able to sing. To be fair, i've no real beef with him at all, but a significant amount of people seem to despise him, as if they caught him having sex with their dog, and it's that kind of hate for someone you've never even met that causes you to spread malicious lies and start insulting groups, that I cannot fathom.
The same goes for that other one, that 'Friday' girl, albeit minus the 'appears to be able to sing' part.

He's the latest young boy lite pop rock Sean Cassidy singer. They come and go. teenage and older boys typically don't like them because of that. Hidden underneath the plastic marketing et al you'll often find a really good singer though. As noted Bieber seems in that realm, just not my cup of tea.
Plus the Wife likes to listen to him on her soccer mom station as she dittybops down the road hitting curbs and pedestrians. Fortunately they occasionally slip through a pumped up kicks type song or we crash or something else intervenes to end the suffering. God is merciful.

Not surprised he crashed a Ferrari he's only 12 yo!
It used to be Donny Osmond or David Cassidy or whoever else since the dawn of the charts. Some with some or more talent than others.
It is hilarious to read some of the gubbins posted on You Tube along with the thumbsdown votes.
Not sure why but even Buddy Holly gets thumbsdown. Not a fan but why except for a slip of the mouse would anyone bother?
Justin Beiber will be gone and forgotten in a year or two anyway to be replaced by the next pretty thing

I doubt you would ber allowed to drive a Ferrari at 12, even if you earned enough to afford it.

Kid is living the dream.
Though I know some like radical girls that love him and listen to his music all the time.
Which has gotten alot of guys to hate him.
I hate Gaga, and alot of pop music. I will only listen to beiber if I have to, to prove to girls i can sit through it without pulling my hair out.
Thats all I can really say, he just needs to avoid becoming a donkey cave.

People hate on him because he's insanely rich and younger than they are.
He's dating a reasonably attractive young lady (watching my words since I'm not sure how old she is) and it has recently come to my attention that he has spent over 1,000,000 bucks on her as of this point. He's a playa, as it were, and the bigger a playa one is the more Haters they will accrue.

I dont get all the hate either...
Sure im not a fan of his music but that doesnt mean i go ranting and raving on about it like some of those blowhards you see on youtube. I find the metal videos are the worst for this sort of behaviour though because as OP mentioned, anyone who dislikes a particular song for whatever reason must be a Bieber fan and gets classed as such. What most of them don't realise though is that by talking about the beast you only make it stronger. So if they would just stop talking about him altogether then that would more then likely help him fade into the obscurity that so many wish upon him. Sure it would be nice if he got trampled by a herd of his own screaming fans (that would bring me much amusment, squished Beebs + Hordes of crying tweens = lol) but im not gonna be dissapointed if he doesnt. Rich little bastard...
On a side note, I did catch part of an interview with him where he said his mum grounded him for not washing some dishes or some such... Nice to see his mum hasnt let his fame corrupt her.

I think you are allowed to saw shes hot and you'd bang her once she was of age. Least that's what I said about the olsen twins. Who are also filthy rich and probably more talented (business women) than the mop.

Meh, the Olsen Twins are so rakishly thin that they have a serious lack of curves. There bodies have more in common with a prepubescent boy than an actual girl's imo.

The only thing I have against Justin Bieber is his comment that women who were raped shouldn't be allowed to have abortions. That is fething messed up.
But I have nothing against his music or personal life.
LoneLictor wrote:The only thing I have against Justin Bieber is his comment that women who were raped shouldn't be allowed to have abortions. That is fething messed up.
That is horribly disgusting view to have even if the women wasn't raped, she should still be allowed to have an abortion if that's what she wants.
He is an over-packaged, entitled, obnoxious twerp.
Marg Helgenberger said he was rude on the set of CSI and wasn't well liked.
He has a half dozen people paid to be around him telling him how great he is.
His look, sound, and style are all decided for him by committee.
In short, Bieber is nothing more than a 'product'. And once he becomes outdated, another 'product' will be manufactured by the same (or similar) people.

Ah yes, Shakur's Theorem. I remember it well - the direct proportionality of playa-haters to cash money.
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.
