Why do we hate Justin Beiber?

[Leemaster777]

I don't hate Justin Bieber.

Then again, I don't KNOW Justin Bieber. I've never listened to any of his songs, so I honestly can't comment on them.

However, from what I do know, I have to give him two gold stars:

1. If I understand correctly, he worked his ASS off to get where he is today, which is commendable.

2. He's not afraid to make fun of himself (like during that hilarious Superbowl ad with Ozzy).

So, I can't really fault the guy.

He randomly got lucky making half-baked songs where he doesn't even have to sing in tune and has fans roaring after him. I'm a musician, and to see that kind of fame go to something like that makes you just a tad annoyed.

Imagine this: Suppose you're a painter, and you look in an art museum and see all of the great masters of art and all of their wonderful paintings, and along comes a boy still in school who draws stick figures. All of a sudden, everybody loves him and his stick figure pictures and nobody cares about the Mona Lisa.

That's why we hate Justin Bieber.

What's that? Is that the sound of a hipster indie rocker? The tortured artist whose great genius goes unrewarded? Only, of course, because mainstream audiences are unable to recognize real talent.
Comparing yourself to Leonardo Da Vinci is only fair.

I suppose I'm not in anyway comparable to Leonardo Da Vinci, but I know some who are, and they're barely getting any recognition at all from the music industry, and instead this kid is.

The thing I find ridiculous is that all the people who get really stuck into hating him are actually essentially the same as his most rabid fans. Their take on the situation is just negative instead of positive. Seriously, who cares? Just let the guy sing, people who like him will like him, people who don't should have other things that they prefer, which I believe they should spend their time liking, as opposed to wasting energy hating a teen pop star...

EDIT: To clarify my personal opinion...I don't have one. I've hardly heard anything this guy has done, and although I think his stylist should be taken aside for a quick word about that godawful hairstyle they've saddled the poor boy with, other than that I have no opinion of him. Why should I? He's not even designed to appeal to my age group.

 

[CardinalPiggles]

i dont hate him, im jealous, and so is every one else, whether they admit it or not...

 

[2012 Wont Happen]

Every youtube vid I go to theres at least one witty comment about Justin [Bieber]

You and I have very different definitions of "witty". When I see comment after stupid comment about the guy, I tend to just be put off of watching the video.

More on topic, I hate his music because it doesn't appeal to any of my tastes. That's about it.

 

[Ham_authority95]

Of course we love making fun of celebrities for no other reason other than the fact that they are celebrities, but this guy gets more hate than the Fuhrer. Every youtube vid I go to theres at least one witty comment about Justin, whether he sounds like a girl or just needs to be vigorously punched in his nonexistent balls people hate on this guy constantly. Why exactly is that?


No offense to Justin Beiber and all of his (probably) wonderful and in good taste fans.

Mostly because they're jealous that a small 16 year-old feminine singer can make more money in a year than many of us will make in our lives along with having all the girls he wants.

Also because they don't like his music, but it wouldn't be as much if it wasn't for the above.

 

[minimacker]

He's a mediocre singer who gets far too much recognition and fame. That's what annoys me. I'm sure there's hundreds of other artists who are far more talented than Bieber.
Yet his music is the only thing that plays on the radio, always has his own page in the news and a quadrillion fans. (Including forty year old moms, for some reason. *HES SO FLUFFEH*)

 

[Ace of Spades]

I ask myself that every day. I don't enjoy hating celebrities because they never done anything to me. If I hated every person who made music I don't like or looks effeminate, I'd hate half of the world.

 

[whtkid6969]

His hair, his face, his grily girl voice, and that he wayyy overplay having to have been "one of you" poor, unfan-mobbed, people.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

People are jealous that he's more popular with females than they are.

That's because it doesn't add up! He's a stupid kid who happened to get lucky because some guy who owns a company accidentally watched his videos, so he gets rich and famous while the rest of us have to bust our asses barely making a living! How come he gets girls as well!?!

 

[ZeAwesomeOne]

He is younger than me and yet makes more money?

I don't really hate the kid, just the hype about him annoys me....

 

[ninja555]

He's a talentless hack who somehow made a record deal. His songs are like broken records and his voice is really annoying. He also looks like a girl but not in a cute way.

 

[eelel]

Because he's pathetic, he sounds like a six year old on helium, the lyrics are pathetic, he's got a stick shoved so far up his arse it's touching his nostrils, he's stupid and completely fails at geography, he talentless but people still give him money, he acts like he knows everything about love, he's a tosser, he isn't freaking dead all ready, he has a waaay to rabid fan base, he's tacky, he's guady, HE SINGS LIKE A GIRL AND HE'S STILL NOT ANY GOOD!!!, he's hasn't got a fucking clue what love or German is, he is failure on two legs, his best use in society is a freaking organ doner!

You summed up much of what I do not like about pop music in general especialy American Idol.

The reason I do not like him is he has no talent. As some one who is taking voice lessons his fame is an insult to every one who has ever trained to be a singer.

 

[Treeinthewoods]

People try to claim he has no talent and doesn't deserve success as an entertainer, I wonder how many of them could do this when they were this age...




Clearly he's an untalented hack right, I bet he never even practiced from a young age or anything like that.

Also, I have an issue with anybody claiming that being a very skilled dancer is somehow less valid then being an opera singer or a metal band. Dance is a physical art but it's still an art and his excellence in that area alone is enough for me to believe he deserves success as an entertainer.

I'm just gonna say my piece and be done with it. I don't really care for Justin Bieber. I don't care for his music, I don't care for his girlfriend, his fans and all that bullshit. Personally I made a choice long ago to pretty much ignore this kid as raging over him really isn't work the effort.

Everyone says his music sucks, he's annoying, he's part of what's wrong with today's music, he's only popular because of the scores of prepubescent girls that wank off to him at night. But then again we said the same thing about the Jonas Brothers and Justin Timberlake and Backstreet Boys and N'sync and the like.

People, this kid ain't nothin' new-he's a hack like all of his predecesors, so please, let's stop wasting our energy raging against this kid and rage over more important issues, like Libya, Japan or the Teacher Strikes here in the US.
