Justin Bieber, a fool or cool?

I made up my mind and I know that this guy is 1,000,000% the worst 14, or 15, year old, that looks like he is eleven, that I have EVER seen! So please I want to hear a good long dedate on this. :confused:

This 3-year-old seems to disagree. (video)

I have no idea why you should care, much less why you think this is an issue to “debate,” but commentaries on pop stars are more appropriate to Cafe Society–where you will next find this thread.

Fool, clearly.

He will not be famous in…well, wait a few months. :slight_smile:

I am speechless.

I thought his April Fools’ Day bit for funnyordie.com was funny.

He’s the first teen idol I can think of who is younger than me, so it makes me feel old. It’s all downhill after the quarter century mark :frowning:

I can take him or leave him. My 8-year-old is convinced that at some point she will be Mrs. Justin Bieber. I haven’t got the heart to disabuse her of this notion.

ok that is funny!

I never heard of this kid until his appearance on Letterman a couple weeks ago. It was awful. Overproduced performance with backup singers and dancers which completely overshadowed the kid. And the singing was subpar and then some. There are kids at the local middle school who can sing better than that. Sheesh.

Jabroni.

Man, that kid is a tool.

I guess we’ll see once his voice changes. That did wonders for Billy Gilman.

This only served to enforce to me just why I do not have children…

I’ve never seen him perform before, but he’s going to be the musical guest on SNL tonight, with Tina Fey as host: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPyRSCXRbCg

I think you hit on why I find this kid so creepy. He is a 16 year old who is creating a “look” that appeals to 8 year olds. It is not just being wholesome, it is his clothes, his hair, his manners. It seems like he should be playing on a jungle gym. What teenager deliberately skews his age down?

He is like a cross between Donnie Osmond and Mickey Mouse. Donnie was merely saccharine, Justin is Splenda!

We’d better keep our daughters apart then, because, judging from the posters on her wall, MY 8-year-old is convinced of the same thing! :slight_smile:

I am glad I do not have kids yet.

He’s a horrible singer, a twerp - but has made far too many piles of money to be considered a fool.

Saw him perform for the first time on SNL last night. Good God… that passes for talent these days? Does ANYONE over the age of 12 think he has talent? And what the hell was up with those back-up dancers? They looked as if they were having spasms!

And his hair… WTF?

I HATE HIS HAIR.
I yell at the tv whenever I see him on it. Considering I have a three and a half year old and two Disney Channels, this is often.
If I hear he is coming to my town, I am going after him with a pair of hedge clippers.
