Stop Picking on Justin Bieber

[x-machina]

I hate him (and all boy bands) for the same reason I hate terrible cash in movies (like Terminator 3)They take a respectable art form, and milk it for a quick buck. While many real struggling artists and are never heard.

It has nothing to do with jealously or feeling threatened.

 

[BoredDragon]

The main reason why I think I don't like him that much is because I don't like his music and its fucking EVERYHWERE (or at least it was). I have actually started to ease down the hate on him because of his fans. Bieber fans are like Fox News to me in that every time I hear something about them it always makes me laugh.

I honestly think he needs to watch out because of his crazy, obsessive fan-base. I think, that if he's not careful, he might go the same way John Lennon did.

This is why i dislike him:

But this is why I tolerate him:

Captcha: Voltaire, cidenty. Huh?

 

[Denizen]

I hate all pop stars by default. I can't stand the music and I can't stand the soulless marketing machine that parades them around.

Exactly how I feel. He seems to represent all of that.

Leave Brittney Bieber alone! *sobs*

*sigh* Lonan isn't making that kind of statement here.

2) I think the only reason he's as successful as he is, is because of little school girls thinking he's soo handsome. I know that some like his music, but I also know a few who have 2 or 3 versions of the same album. When I asked "Why?" they respond by looking at me like I'm an idiot and saying: "Cause Heee's sooo dreamy". Looks shouldn't contribute to music sales only talent.

Harrison Ford was in the same situation as Beiber in his early acting days, and his rise to fame was chance, just like Bieber's was.

Ford left acting, became a carpenter, worked on the house of George Lucas, became friends with him, and eventually he landed a role in Star Wars.

Beiber's rise to fame was due to a record executive seeing a video on YouTube. Not as lengthy as Ford's rise, but in a similar vein. They both started their rise to fame through chance.

I hate what he represents. And his music. And him as a person. And anyone that likes him.

WOO! My 69th post! Alrighty, time for a new account.

 

[Ghengis John]

Not only that, despite everything people throw at him, he's still standing.

Yeah, even after all these year's he's sti-- what?

 

[Dr. Pepper Unlimited]

I'm sure he is a decent person to talk to, so I don't have anything against him personally. I'm just tired of hearing about him every five minutes, whether it is to praise him or to hate him. It's annoying, please stop it...

 

[Manicotti]

No. He's a douchebag on par with any other celebrity. Possibly more so, BECAUSE he tries to cultivate an image as a nice guy at the same time.

The only difference is that his army of fans is more militant than John Mayer's. Same filth, though.

 

[mynameisreza]

I dont hate justin.
I think he has a lot of talent, but he's using his talent for evil.

As I said I'm not denying his rise to fame, just that his popularity right now seems to be more about his looks and not his singing. His music doesn't explain why just about every little girl flocks to see his concerts in a goddamn movie theater (that sold out more than Avatar 3d almost, you should have seen the line ups!!!), you don't need a movie theater to listen to music. I don't care how good any artist looks I will not buy multiple albums and hair clipping for $40K over it, just posters

 

[drwow]

He doesn't what Germany is.
He called himself the Kurt Cobain of his generation.
He's a self entitled little asshole in real life.
And he fucking covered a queen song, fuck him.

there are more reasons to hate him, these just top it for me.

 

[jawakiller]

I hate pop-culture in general (pop music too). Any icon of the pop scene is automatically put on my hit-list (worry not, this list is, well... uh, not. never mind). The little squirt is right up there with Spears, Gaga and Michael Jackson. Pop, to me, sucks. Nothing against him personally.

 

[mjc0961]

Whey even bring it up? Telling people not to pick on him is putting the topic of discussion on him, and that is going to cause people to come in and pick on him. Why is he even worth talking about in the first place?

 

[Kortney]

I don't like him because he's very conformist... though that's my only problem with HIM. I'm sure he's a nice kid, I just don't like his conformist bullshit. I have a much bigger problem with the boardroom executives who continuously try to shove him down our throats... or, if you want a better metaphor, in our ears.

Isn't subscribing to the counter-culture idea of not conforming actually conforming? "Not conforming" on the internet is pretty popular. It's quite conformist of you.

 

[Smooth Operator]

See the hilarity of this thread alone makes it worth bashing the Beaver.

 

[Nouw]

Snip

2 is actually more because of Youtube. In every comment section of a song there will be something Bieber related;

We're practically doing a favour for him by spreading his name. Including now.

 

[blank0000]

He does deal with a lot. I tire of him being the go to joke for people who cant come up with something witty. He's doing what he loves and making money doing it. Good for him, as he matures i'm sure his music will become more diverse.

 

[Chewster]

This happens with all pop musicians, as people lament the "good ol' days" without realizing that every generation had garbage, but we've long forgotten it now since it didn't stand the test of time. Pop music may indeed suck, but it is also manufactured for teenagers who sometimes haven't developed sophisticated tastes in art yet. No big deal.

His music is annoying but just like Twilight, if you don't like it, stop talking about it and giving him more attention.

 

[The Rockerfly]

Creating a thread for some attention I see...

Shut up, delete your account, never come here again.

You can't change peoples minds, they can do as they legally wish, this thread is pointless and will not change anything. Think before you post next time and make sure it is something worth discussing.

It's a response to the "Bieber's $40,000 Hair" thread, which was much more hostile and worthless then this thread. Don't be so aggressive.

Wait, what? They spent $40,000 on his new haircut? That is the biggest waste of money I have ever heard. No seriously, you must be fucking with me, $40,000?
