As long as he's spitting out platinum albums he'll be around MUCH longer than Kelly Clarkson, Ciara, Chris Brown, and Trey Songz who NONE can't even sell 1,000,000 copies The only reason Kelly Clarkson won't be 'around' anymore would be because she decides to stop making Pop music. In general, radio has been great to her and her albums have sold very well. Not all albums from an artist HAVE to go platinum for them to be successful

Bieber isn't the new Taylor Swift - Taylor does extremely well on the radio. Bieber had one modest hit.
Once upon a time there was a tween/teen band called Jonas who also did only mediocre on the radio, yet sold lots and lots and lots of albums... until they started selling less... and then one of them went solo and flopped... now all they have is their crappy TV show and a Disney Channel movie sequel.

At least the JoBros had Burnin' Up which was actually a legitimately good pop song. Nothing Bieber's done is.

The only things Bieber has in common with Taylor are that both sound like girls and most of the time off-key when live.
(Yeah, already said he sounds like a girl).

Has he had singles since Baby or have they all been announced and scrapped? I feel like there's been 5 singles since Baby!!

I just see through everyone's jealousy. Everyone's mad that this lil kid from Canada with no legitimate hit yet is outselling grown folk with #1 Pop hits. I think its funny.
Seeing how Usher gave him "Somebody To Love" as it leaked last year, the guy is NOT singing lil kids music. It's grown folk music. His CD is my jam. Everyone go download his song "Kiss and Tell". It's amazing!

Since the only song of his I've heard on the radio is One Time, I'm not that ~jealous~ of him outselling the 'grown folk'. I'm just sick to death of seeing his name as five TT's on Twitter.

this kid is getting worse and worse. his voice is absolutely tone-less live and has no power. i'm telling you all right now...aaron carter. jesse mccartney was even much better than this kid. he's already too caught up in the celebrity of hollywood and his attitude is absolutely out of line.

Please explain Britney and Akon's one-note mega success. Justin will be FINE! People talked about how Britney would be gone in 2 years. We just came off a #2 Pop hit after 10 years in the game. FAIL!

lol. Just because you can name other artists that can't sing who did well doesn't mean every kid off the street that can't sing that great is going to smash it up for a long, long time.
Britney appealed to a far larger audience than 8-14 year olds. She didn't have the same demo as Bieber, so you really can't compare them.
Akon... I don't recall anybody ever saying Akon was going to be some legend. lol. He's doing well now, but I don't get the comparison...
Bieber has a lot going against him: He can't sing well; his swagger coach should be fired because his stage presence isn't that great; he tries too hard to sound like some sort of little pimp; and his hair is dumb
Bieber has some things going for him, though: The massive team that has been assembled to trick the nation's little girls into beliebering he's some swoon-worthy idol.
He's a corporate product. Maybe in 5 years he'll be grown up enough to have some musical integrity. Right now he's just releasing throw-away pop music that is designed to make his label & team a quick buck.

i have already begun hearing this on the radio, which is surprising as it is barely even top 60.
it's surprisingly good.

You're just mad Justin has outsold Davey without a hitch. He's way more revlevant and successful than David ever was, and will only get bigger from here. Shit, he's even bigger than the Jbs were (they were mostly hype). His EPs were also much better recieved critically. He may sing like a 5 year old, but he certainly doesn't behave like on (unlike a certain someone). He's got Usher (someone hip and cool) on his corner rather than an overbearing stage daddy who deosn't know a damn thing about whats hip and cool right now. U mad?

What the frack does anything I said have to do with David A.? Just because I'm a David fan doesn't mean my criticisms of Bieber are invalid. If I never heard of David I would still think Bieber was disposable pop designed to make a quick buck and nothing more. The story of Bieber has been told over and over through the course of many tween/teen Idols. I'm not sure why some people believe Bieber is gonna be different. And Bieber behaves EXACTLY like an immature 16 year old. Have you heard some of the dumb things that have come out of his mouth? Just today he dissed all Disney acts, saying he's less cheesy. I laughed. Yes, kid, diss one of the largest entertainment enterprises in the country. That'll go over well. BTW, nothing to do with this thread but in response to the above, David's Dad isn't his manager anymore. Der..... so I guess you can't use that slight anymore.

Let's at least pick someone worthy of having an argument over.

My favorite Bieber single so far. I am rooting for this kid, I have no idea why. Him >>>>>>>>>> Aaron Carter. Although I wish IDJ would decide to get him at least one radio smash. Just so the teenyboppers have a statistic to throw around, you know? He could do it, if they cared to give him one.
♥ to him. My favorite lesbian.

The only reason i even bothered to reply was because it seems like everywhere i go, you're ranting about this kid some way or some how. You've probably made more posts about Justina than anyone else on this board. What's the deal? Let the little girls have their idol. The music is catchy and innocent, his voice matches his music and he is a good performer. So he said something about Disney? You care why? I never even said he was mature, I said he is very good with interviews. So WHAT excatly is your problem with him? Because his voice has yet to crack? His hair? What's the deal? You say this has nothing to do with David, but I cant think of any other reason why you'd be so pressed about some teen idol who's probably gonna be nobody 2 years from now. ... oh, and i knew about the management change. But David's mistake was letting him anywhere near his career in the 1st place, so i'm still gonna call him out. ;)

No... actually I don't write more posts about Justin than anybody else. But since when are my posting habits a topic of this thread?
Justin is in my face everywhere, on my coveted Billboard magazine and on People's cover as well. So I get to discuss the dude that's in my face all the time who I think isn't that talented, especially since this song, which is the topic of this thread, is one of his least catchy songs yet and his gigabillionth single.
This isn't gonna go anywhere good, so I'm just not gonna respond after this.

I think it's unfair to say he's not talented. Yeah, he sings like a girl. That's hardly out of his control. And yeah, his songs might not be up your alley but he's 16. What do you really expect? I think he's an okay singer. Actually, I was impressed with his SNL performance. He's not that bad!
