    Holy crap, that would be hilarious.

    Also, I think it's just one of the many countries he might end up in anyway.

    Well, there's only 45 minutes of voting left, and North Korea is #1 and is 30,000 votes ahead of #2 which is Israel. North Korea looks pretty certain.

    Actually I really just have no idea who Justin Bieber is.

    I just looked up a video of his on Youtube, and I find myself incredulous that record companies are able to convince people that tripe should actually be called music.

    It's ridiculous, isn't it? Talent and songwriting ability are no longer needed in order to succeed in the music industry; it's just all about having a marketable image and million dollar promotion. Justin Beiber (the person) is just the figurehead of a giant scam which Island Records are cashing in on big.

    Don't get too annoyed about manufactured pop music. Just because it exists doesn't mean good music can't also exist.

    And it's not like record companies have only just started signing people up based on looks alone and then getting other people to write songs for them. Remember the Monkees? To a lesser extent, even the Beatles were signed based on their image.

    Elvis, anyone?

    Well, one big difference is that we didn't have internet and 4chan back then. So people could only parody Elvis, with a toned-down manner, in movies, television, video games, artworks, radio shows...


    Er... You know what? You're right. There is no difference.

    Hey, guess what? Annoying songs and bad music aren't permanent. No one talks about Jonas Brothers that much anymore, Owl City has come and gone, and Ke$ha only has one "popular and good" song, so she can't really have another blockbuster.

    I'll admit that I haven't listened to any of Justin Bieber, but I just want to say: don't get too snobby about music.

    The quality of a piece of art is not necessarily related to the effort or the "honesty" that went into producing it, and it is in NO WAY related to how it's subsequently viewed.

    What a lot of people don't realise is that by CHOOSING not to conform, they're making a conscious decision about conformity (thereby committing the same "crime" they accuse others of). People who conform aren't making any conscious decision, they're just doing what comes naturally. There's nothing wrong with that. By moaning about people who base their opinions on a piece of music (or whatever) on how popular it is, you're being hypocritical because YOU'RE the one who is worrying about how popular it is.

    What I'm saying is, avoiding music because it's popular is just as bad, if not worse than, listening to it because it's popular. It's at least in the same ballpark.

    For example, that owl city song? That was a fucking good song. And from what I've heard of Ke$ha, that's some pretty catchy shit too. Dawg.

    I do know Elvis. So I guess I was wrong. I don't know any of the presumably alive people mentioned in this thread.

    It's OK, they probably don't know you either.

    I will be a snob about music if I want to thank you very much. Just because something has happened before doesn't mean I should automatically accept and like it happening again.

    It is not that weird to not have heard of the people mentioned in this thread. It seems to mostly be stuff aimed at 12-14 year olds anyway.

    The only reason I don't have a particular liking to Justin Bieber is because he's a "child gangsta pretty fly for a white guy", or at least he would have been if he wasn't 16. Now he's just a "wannabe gangsta pretty fly for a white guy".

    Also, I don't like his music.

    Also, Fireflies IS a good song, however, the way it is sung by Owl City isn't particularly exciting.

    And finally, it's not only the music people sing that can repulse people, it's also the behavior of certain people and the fact that some people just can't sing live.

    Yeah, I just watched Ke$ha live. While she doesn't sound "horrible", it isn't good either. It's probably at the same level as Madonna's live performances. She also ain't Lady Gaga. And as much as I don't really like Lady Gaga, she at least can sing live. And that's an understatement. You can say all you want, but Lady Gaga actually sounds better live. Unlike Ke$ha.

    Also, I'd have to admit: with Justin Bieber being a singer and (as far as I can tell) very focused on music and his fans.. how the hell did he break his leg? That's got to be a first for singers of this decade. I haven't seen any other singers get a noticable injury (during their career).

    First off, things happen. Second off: "During the tour for Painkiller in August 1991 at a show in Toronto, Halford rode onstage on a large Harley-Davidson motorcycle, dressed in motorcycle leathers, as part of the show. He collided with a half-raised drum riser and fell off the motorcycle, breaking his nose. After regaining consciousness, Halford returned and performed the whole concert."

    I'm not sure if this counts, but it's still a great story.

    I think that's because Stefani Germanotta actually has talent, which she has to keep in check in order to be Lady Gaga. It wouldn't surprise me if she actually had to make an effort to dumb down her talents.

    Does self-infliction count? If so, G.G. Allin and Marilyn Manson both win that prize. Especially G.G Allin, who basically owed his whole career to hurting himself. (it certainly wasn't due to musical talent)

    You're sort of right. Annoying and bad songs aren't permanent, but annoying and bad music is. See, the particular songs and artists fade away and are forgotten about, but they're just replaced with new ones. Crappy music is ever present and it will never die, it will just reappear in different forms and it will be produced by different 'artists'.

    But, on what you are saying, it does show that there is little depth and lasting appeal to these songs, that's because they're not true musicians (as we are all aware of here), whereas bands and artists such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen etc. have songs that have can and have stood the test of time and are still revered today. They have fanbases that are genuine and loyal and will follow the band/artist for their entire life.

    Compare that to Justin Beiber, Jonas Brothers, etc.

    Michael Jackson got his hair lit on fire during the shooting of something. I forgot if it was a commercial, a video clip or a concert.

    By the way, that was all in his younger days. But not too younger days.
