Justin Bieber

[GirlNextDoor15]

The problem with Bieber is he got lucky. There's millions of YouTube singers out there and I bet I could find loads better than Bieber. He was just lucky the right person saw him.

Some people get annoyed by this as there are amazing artists who work hard and never get there. Take a little known UK Artist, David Ford. I was lucky to work with him a few years back, he's really great with a looping pedal which allows him to play an instrument record it and play it back then he can add other layers on top - in other words he can play loads of instruments live, a modern day one man band. He is amazing with words, he writes all his own lyrics and they are very poetic, sings them beautifully to, but hardly anyone knows about him.

And this is just one of many artists out there working hard and hardly getting anything in return. So for someone who's just posted a YouTube video and been spotted and stormed the world, well it can really annoy those trying so hard to get there.

I don't like his music as it's too pop for me. I'm a rock guy, although I do like a good mix, but he just really annoys me.

I kinda agree with that. But, even if you are talented, you have to have the looks. Justin Bieber is famous cuz girls admire his look. He has the boy next door look. So, whatever talent you have is useless when it comes to this type of industry. They judge on the looks more than the talent. Katy Perry is famous cuz she has the looks and the body. So, that's why men love her. They say she's sexy. I mean Katy Perry isn't any good. When we have other good inspirational songs out there, why do we even need Firework? They love Firework cuz it's catchy. So, that's why. They're selling brands apparently.

Susan boyle? Not a good looking woman really, but she's selling songs, making millions?
Justin bieber has fans because they adore his looks? Yes, but they also adore his music.
Just because Justin got lucky and other people didn't, doesn't mean he should be hated for it? Not his fault he was discovered, and someone who could be better didn't.

Boyle is on the other extreme of the scale. She is not the greatest singer ever, yeah she is good, but she isn't THAT good. She was so unexpected it emphasised her original performance on Britains Got Talent(it was BGT, wasn't it?

Bieber is an image, as much as he is an artist. Attempting to deny this would make you a complete fool.

This is the problem with the industry. When you listen to an album, if your listening to the radio and an amazing song came on would you then hate it if you discovered the singer was ugly?

I like music that sounds good regardless of looks, image etc. I'm not a fan of Bieber cos I'm not really a pop person but I admit his songs can be a bit catchy at times and if he did have a song I liked, I'd like it for the way it was even if I did hate him.

[GirlNextDoor15]

Yeah. That's the problem with the industry. He has some songs that I like. However good modern songs are, I still like oldies better even though I don't know how they look like lol cuz it's just tooooo old.

He's okay, don't like his songs but he's got talent. He needs media training though as I rarely see him come across well in interviews and he's quite obnoxious.

Susan Boyle is incredibly overrated and incredibly mediocre though. Bieber is a lot more talented than she is as well as being "cute".

I agree with this I say something on channel 5 yesterday forgot what it's called and the look on Simon's face when she first came on stage is the look we all had and some people may feel bad for assuming she was bad and some may just like her music.

[beth]

but i don't understand why you'd like her music, she does a **** load of covers and they ain't good at that.

I don't buy her music I've never thought she was good and then she thought she became good when they gave her the nickname of "SuBo" since people started to recognizable her. I have never bought her music and never will as I think she is not good and is overrated and I also don't like her style of music and I don't understand how albunm went first in both sides of the world I think because hey pitied her.
