I have no favorite genre: I like a mishmash of Classical, Baroque, Rock (classic and progressive), Jazz, Reggae, Punk, and Metal. I prefer instrumental pieces over songs. Might as well add gaming OSTs to that list now too.
IMO, Bieber is a bland performer whose entire musical career hinges on other people doing all the composition and stage work prep-work for him. He sings badly-written and poorly composed generic Pop-shit, relies on autotune (like everyone on else on the fucking pop-stations, natch), and remains inexplicably popular because the tween masses love him.
Whatever. Good for him. I don't listen to him if I can possibly avoid it (autotune introduces this obnoxious buzzing twinge that I cannot stand), and I don't really give a toss about him otherwise.
Besides, I've met and heard far more talented musicians than him in real life; people who are far better musicians than he is likely to ever be. I'll stick with listening to them if I can help it.
