We're supposed to get one of those arguments where we keep adding one more thing to the list going, but now you went and ruined it.

I'm not sure how noting that other people have hair excuses bad hair. I still think Justin Bieber and Ellen Page are the same person.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

Not really, not liking a thing is essentially indifference to that thing. For example, I don't like Mongolia as I've never experienced it such that I can like it. But I also do not dislike Mongolia, as I've never experienced it such that I can dislike it.
The (Americanized) barbecue that country produces, on the other hand...

Well, obviously, if its simply a matter of not liking something then you have no recourse to comment. That only follows from hatred, or an active dislike.
Apparently you actively dislike nerd-rage on the internet, which is itself nerd-rage in a way; though perhaps one that is less "rage" and more "disdain".
Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

I've not been sufficiently exposed to his autotuned crap to feel a blindless rage when hearing his name, but from what I've seen about him, I feel quite sad for this kid.
He doesn't understand that he is only a fashion (like so many others before him). He doesn't understand that within 1 or perhaps 2 years the success will vanish and that another idol will be made. When a journalist asked him what he would do if
success faded, he was just unable to understand the question and his agents had to explain him.
No doubt this will not end well for him.
The reason I feel sad is his lack of understanding of the business he's in. Somehow, spoiling someone's life for profit seems wrong to me (unless this person knows what he's doing which is clearly not the case here).
Now, after feeling sad for the others, let's get a little cynical:
Spoiler:
There's no need to call for murder on him, alcohol and drugs will make their job whithin...let's say 5 years. And in 2020 a TV show will depict how he drifted after his carreer collapsed, and how was finally found dead of an overdose in California.

Does no one else remember New Kids on the Block, or NKOTB as all the jr.high girls scrawled all over their notebooks 20 plus years ago? How about the Bay City Rollers? Man, my sisters were in love with those guys. Now they're a bunch of fat bald Scotsman who work at Argos.
Yes, I am that old. My age is my armour protecting me from pop culture manufactured schisse like Justin Beaver, Miley cyrus, Lady What's her name and anyone with the moniker "MC" attached to their name. Plus everyone knows music got super lame after 1978.

Heyena Joe, I think he's too naive/good to do that. I'd predict that he either successfully reinvents himself post puberty (or there is a slight chance that he is just a natural soprano) and launches a more mature not-based-on-six-month-tween-crushes career (I'll admit, it is a slim chance), or he becomes a b to d list celebrity, good for being random hosts and mystery guests of T.V. shows. Heck, maybe he'd be like Eminem (I only know about the fellow from a classmate's presentation, this might be false), who basically faded from the public eye, responsibly handled his money, and is now a happy father with a regular job. Once again, that might be some guy's b.s. spin, heck, it might even be my memory playing tricks on us all. But hey, it's possible. He seems like a smart enough, if somewhat shallow, of a kid. Probably could do okay in college, career, ect. as long as the fame doesn't go to his head.

Quite slim indeed, it could work for an actor, but I'm not sure it would work for a "singer".

More likely something like that...until the overdose.

I think it's too late, he has reached the point where he simply can't imagine his life without this fame, and that's precisely why I think it won't end well for him (perhaps if he'd been older when it all started...)

WELP that shows how much I know. But it's possible. I think Beiber is taking it relatively well, despite how much he is schlubbed from one location to the next for whatever event he has to be at.

Darn now I'm tempted to look some of them up. Must..resist..the urge.
Btw those videos are a new guilty pleasure for me. Mostly pleasure, but still.

1. Justin Bieber should do a cover of ‘If I were a boy’ by Beyoncé (2,309 fans). 2. If Puberty Doesn’t Kill Justin Bieber, I Will (387 members). 3. Nice Voice Justin Bieber, Does It Come In Mens?

Conceded. Music started getting lamer around 1974.
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
