I saw Bieber on t.v a few years ago performing Let it Be on piano, (New years eve gig)
-was actually pretty damn good.
-But other than that I haven't listened to his music. Pretty hard to get away from the press that he receives though, both good and bad.
What I don't understand is the outright hatred people have for this young guy.
Is it justified? Is it a "fad" to hate him? Is it jealousy?
If I don't hate the Biebs, does that make me somehow inferior to cool folks?
It's not as though people just disapprove of him,
People Hate him.
Do people have justification for this behavior?
Go!

Nobody has ever given a justifiable reason as to why Bieber "sucks" or why they "hate him".
He does not "act ghetto" either.

Oh please. 'justifiable' ??? People can dislike Bieber for whatever reason they want. His girly clothes or his fascination with his own hair or not liking his 'singing' or because he hangs out with 'tough black guys' trying to get some street cred (ridiculous) .. or because he does drugs A LOT ... or because he arrogantly drives reckless through neighborhoods ... or because he pisses in mop buckets ... or because he spits on people ... whatever the reason. No one has to find things that fit your 'justifiable' level. Everyones 'justifiable' level is different.
He does not "act ghetto" either.
OH YES HE DOES. Don't even try to spin that here. I've seen the TMZ videos and photos. He is trying to gain 'street cred'. It's absurd.

He's talented,
He's got good looks,
He's more accomplished than us
He's Canadian
He gives more money to charities than either you or I
He's respected in the music world
He has never done wrong to me or anyone I know
He doesn't do hard drugs
I could go on

Go here - TMZ
Do a search for Beiber.
You'll see footage of him pee'n in a mop bucket; being carried on the shoulders of his man-groupies up the Great Wall of China; visiting a whore house in South America; spitting on people; his drug use; his obsession with taking off his shirt and trying to look 'street' with a bunch of huge black guys; him and his hair and his pouty girl lips; his visit to the Anne Frank house and his comments; etc etc.
You wanna' know about Justine and her exploits? TMZ has it.

Purple Drank is NOT "Oxycodone" buddy. Purple Drank is a combination of Promethazine w/ Codeine.

It's considered "cool" to hate Justin Bieber unless you are a female..
Most are just sheep following popular opinion to fit in.
Then some like him to be rebellious (against others).

I guess that's my category. I don't care either way for his music.

He is enormously talented. That's the truth. And he was discovered as a complete nobody.
The kid deserves his good fortune but along with it came a lot of abuse and jealousy.
I'm not into his music but it's at least as good as any other pop artist the past 10 years.
Good on him.
As for his craziness. Well go back to the 70s and check out Elton Jon's antics. Or nearly any celebrity for that matter.
Extreme right-braininess (like most talented artsy people) will allow for less rational decision making.
So he's an enormously talented savant. An idiot, of sorts, with extreme talent and associated fame.
Would the world be a better or worse place to lay eggs because of him existing? I don't know.edit on 8-11-2013 by Atlantican because: (no reason given)

Good question. I like to think it is a subconscious rejection of the mass marketed, corporate, autotuned claptrap some people mistakenly call "music", but his behaviour has much to do with it.
