Knowing the caring ingenuity of our Justin ♥, his visit there will probably lead to korean unity and world peace for eons, with kim jong il blubbering on Justin's shoulder, holding him in a tight and loving embrace.

In all likeliness, Kim Jong Il will likely hold him prisoner in his palace and force him to make songs that Kim Jong Il writes. You know, like he did with that South Korean movie director.

:lol: I love it when people try and say "So you're just angry because this person is successful?! Lay off him!" There's a difference between making money, and being a tool that makes money. I have no objection to people being famous, but when it comes to people like Justin Bieber, they have no place in the music industry. Or, really, anywhere that's on a massive scale. This kid is the epitome of idiot.

Right and that makes people attacking him for no appearent reason all good. I don't see the problem here his music is intended for the tween girl scene of course it is not going to appeal to the male gender or older crowd. He is a success because he knows his target audience well and they love him. Im no Bieber fan but I really don't understand the hate for him. Haters talk more about him than his fans do.

[size=11]I found this excerpt on an entertainment website on the subject of the voting:[/size]

[quote="Zap2It"]Please think carefully before you partake in any vote pertaining to his My World Tour. And we strongly suggest you consider a country without massive earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, political unrest, terrorists, civil wars, etc, etc. Listen, we realize that this criterion also leaves out most countries. And we apologize in advance to those places. But the safety of Bieber is at stake.

If he makes money-he ,really, isn't that much of a tool. Justin bieber has a place in the music industry-because he has an audience and fans,if you're not one of them-no one is forcing you to listen.

I'll add a little disclaimer-I have never listened to a justin bieber song so I can't say how horrible (or not they)really are, but a hate campaign online against a 16 year old kid who hasn't done anything wrong can't be justified,Seeing that you can just tune him out-I don't see what your problem is with him...

He's like a con artist that makes money off of people who don't know any better. He probably knows that he can't sing. He's soaking up the attention that should be given to people who actually have talent. He's taking up time on the radio when good music could be playing.

He is obviously blaming him for the crappy music of today...well artists like him. In frustation he must torment this feminine 16 year old white rapper (really? lol back in the day it was all about Dre...) to feel better? Or did I miss something obvious?

Because damn good artists have had tween girls fawning over them way before this Bieber craze. The Beatles had ten times the popularity of Bieber, ranging through every age group, and they were actually good. There's no reason a person should write so horribly, make such horrible music, and still be famous. I just hate how excuses are that "he knows his audience", which is stupid. Pixar knows their audience is predominantly children, and yet all their movies have such depth and greatness to them that it's insane. I don't think having a bunch of teenagers loving you excuses *****y songwriting.

Opinions, opinions what you consider bad others consider good. And his fanbase obviously think he is good. Its not like the kid has done anything bad I don't see him on Yahoo news or in front of the gossip newspaper doing anything wrong like alot of celebs are. Yet he gets all this uncalled for hate. He is not forcing anyone who does not like his music listen to it. If you don't like him ignore him.

What advantage does bieber have over the makers of "good music"? what makes him more capable of putting his material out? he has every right to distribute any form of crappy substance out-Just like in every other format,It's up to the public to accept or reject it.
Seeing that taste in music is subjective- It's not up to you,or anyone else, to decide they are the culture police and actively act out against artists for their work.

taste in art is subjective I agree, but I think the aspects that make quality art are pretty objective. I may not like Pink Floyd, but I can appreciate the talent and work put into some of their albums. They are artists. Bieber's music isn't so much art as it is a product to be consumed by the masses of tween girls.

They could be playing, but people do not buy their music.

It's all about money, and the "talented" people no longer make money. They haven't since the mid-90's.

Art doesn't have to be good or the creation of someone talented.If you don't consider bad or untalented work as art-that's okay too,since art is a fuzzy concept and can be defined in different ways. But if you group musicians as artists-Bieber is one too. And then the only difference between him and Pink floyd is the quality of the 'art'. And like i said before-I haven't heard Bieber ,so I can't comment on how good/bad he is.but obviously there are a lot of people who like him better than pink floyd...
