He's like a white, Canadian version of Sammie


Ah Justin Bieber, his name is almost too easy to make fun of but at the same time you don't want to because hes just so darn tween dreamy *eyes twinkle* (i think his fans should be called Bieber Babies or something like that, i just think it fits too well not to be used) But this Bieber kid, I decided to give my take on arguably the biggest thing to hit pop/R&B music in recent memory excluding people that rhyme with shmady caca (its lady gaga, did you get it? i knew you would). The hoopla about this guy is crazy, though it has died down a little recently because "Baby" has been out for a while, hes supposedly on tour or something, and his next single "Eenie Meanie" ft Sean Kingston is just starting to pick up more steam. Before i get into the bulk of it, i would like to add that the Eenie meanie track is FIYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAA, i'll be honest and say it has an incredibly stupid chorus and its pretty generic, but its catchy as all hell and its one of those songs that blends both artists styles well, you'll probably have to listen to it a couple times before you get to that point but i'm calling it now that it has a good shot at going #1. BUT BACK TO BIEBER MANIA!!! After a ton of research and studying, i believe the hype about this 16 year old kid is.......drum roll please............DESERVED. Yep, I said it, I think its deserved. This kid is actually talented, I mean he can actually sing, not sure about the dancing thing, but he can work on that, just look at Justin Timberlake, he went from boy band dancing to almost Usher in like a year. And another thing to note about his last CD, he actually had writing credits on every song, including one song where he wrote the entire thing (wikipedia it) At first i was like pretty much everybody that wasn't a 13 year old girl, and was skeptic and didn't take the time to listen to his music or study up on him, I mean i heard "One time" and got a glimpse of "baby" but i never really thought much of him, that was until i saw THIS on funny or die, he said BITCH, LMAO, this kid is 16 and is a tween sensation and said bitch in a video that would be seen by millions, how can you not give him some love for that?? To be honest though, I really look at Bieber to be somebody to bring back R&B because it has definitely been falling, props to Trey Songz for keeping it alive these past couple months, but Ushers new stuff hasn't blown me away despite little freak being a solid collabo. The kid has chops and its undeniable once you listen to more of his stuff, i don't even have his cd but i can see it. Aside from that though, I mean if you didn't know there was a bidding war to get him between Usher and Justin Timberlake that Usher won, and DRAKE!!!!! actually showed up to his Baby video shoot to show love when i'm sure he had a bazillion things he could have done instead and only got like 5 secs of camera time. Bieber also got to open the new "We are the World" 25 song, which is major shine considering others on the song. I really hope he doesn't fade away like a lot of these young R&B stars though, him being white (no racist) will definitely help a little but isn't full proof, and he has to really grow with his music as he gets older and has a new voice for him to be successful. All in all though, what can you say, in the words of a good friend of mine, "Haters gonna hate" so when it comes to this kid, people are going to hate, but I won't be one of them. And no I'm not gay for listening to R&B/Pop, I'm gay for Justin Bieber *gay sigh*
NO HOMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
