i originally read 'famous' as 'fabulous'.so did the wiki/allmusic thing, a few exclamation marks appeared over my head, after which i re-read the post and realised my mistake.think i will wait for my kids to tell me what his records are like.

He's really famous/popular? I saw him in guest spots on two Nickelodeon shows -- iCarly and True Jackson VP (my 8-year old daughter watches both shows) -- and figured he was just an actor playing a country singer.
He was terrible, BTW. His voice seemed auto-tuned, and his songs seemed flat and hackneyed.

I assume that sometimes labels just keep pressing until a act is popular. I'm open to be convinced otherwise with respect to this kid's talent, but wow, those few Justin Bieber songs I heard were, at best . . . servicable? Adequate? Unmemorable? Nondescript? Maybe worse.

“I have a swagger coach that helps me and teaches me different swaggerific things to do,” Bieber told the Toronto Star last month. “He has helped me with my style and just putting different pieces together and being able to layer and stuff like that.”
Or, as swagger coach Ryan Good, 24, told the Toronto paper: “Usher called me and said he thought Justin would benefit from being around a cool white boy.”

Death and Legacy
Bieber died following a gunshot wound sustained during a late night altercation in west Manhattan. According to local detectives, Bieber and his alleged girlfriend Selena Gomez attempted to enter a New York City nightclub with fake IDs but were recognized by several patrons. Witnesses claim Bieber was belligerent and threatened to shoot one of the bouncers. Justin subsequently reached into his coat pocket and withdrew what the NYPD has claimed to be a small .25 caliber pistol. James Rodriguez, an on duty police officer at the scene, responded by shooting Bieber once in the head. It was later determined that Beiber's handgun was errantly loaded with .22 caliber ammunition.
Paramedics arrived on scene shortly after the shooting but were unable to resuscitate Bieber, who was pronounced dead shortly before 11pm EST. The area surrounding Larry Flynt's Hustler Club on Manhattan's West 51st street has been closed off and witnesses are being questioned as the investigation into this tragic event continues. No statement has been released by Bieber's family or publicist, and no one else was injured during the altercation. Although toxicology reports have not yet been issued, several tablets of the prescription drug Dilauded were found on Gomez' person and it is speculated that both her and Bieber were intoxicated.

Internet Pranksters Attempt to Send Justin Bieber Tour to North KoreaPosted Tue Jul 6, 2010 11:25am PDT by Joseph Brannigan Lynch in Stop The Presses!If Internet pranksters have their way, Justin Bieber will be performing in one of the world's most oppressive regimes. Communist North Korea is currently leading an online poll on Bieber's My World Tour website, where the 16-year-old singer asked his fans to choose which country he should tour in next. Bieber didn't put any place off limits and, of course, Web-based troublemakers took full advantage of the trusting Canadian heartthrob.Users of the website 4chan-an influential Internet subculture that introduced the world to lolcats -- made sure North Korea received over a half million votes, catapulting it from 24th place to 1st place. That puts the despotic communist country ahead of Israel by about 5,000 thousand votes -- and if nothing changes before the contest wraps on July 7, it will make North Korea the winner.Considering almost no one in North Korea is allowed on the Internet and the country's restrictive media probably doesn't give the mop-haired Bieber much coverage, it's fairly unlikely that any of those half million votes came from actual North Korean citizens.Regardless of the online poll's outcome, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il and Bieber's tour manager can probably agree on one thing: the adorable, elf-like singer almost certainly won't be adding the harsh regime to his world tour.This isn't the only thing the Internet has done to punk Bieber lately, though. Over the holiday weekend, hackers broke into Bieber's YouTube videos and redirected preteen fans to false articles about their idol dying in a car crash. And those were actually some of the more kid-friendly websites to which fans of the 16-year-old singer were redirected.The rumors were so prevalent that the boy himself made a point of tweeting about it."Let's take some time to answer some crazy rumors...I'm not dead," Bieber posted on his Twitter account. "I had to check on this one...but it turns out I'm alive."Furthermore, he also assured fans that he's "not Peter Pan," demonstrating that the music sensation has a sense of humor about himself. Being a wildly popular teenage superstar probably takes the sting out of being the butt of Internet jokes like these.

Has anyone since Timberlake been in a position to utilize "the Justified move"? As if this is something that's happened more than once?
― billstevejim, Wednesday, 28 March 2012 18:32 (twelve years ago) link
it kinda depends on whether you think the key context of that album is the move from pop to R&B, from group member to solo star, from teenpop star to universal/'adult' pop icon, or whether it applies equally to female acts etc. lots of artists before or since have had rough parallels in some of those categories, Bieber's just probably the most at once (although he was never in a group).

Na na na, that's what I THOUGHT, I was super cynical about the whole thing. "Usher reboots his career", Scooter makes some cheddar, a billion teenagers get obsessive. There's more to it than that, maybe? At least, there was for me. It's like seeing a highlight reel of one's own adolescence. All the good bits but with better hair and clothes.
I read something C Wilson just wrote with regards to Hirsch's "Bully":
Sitting through the vérité evidence, moment by moment, did provide a sort of therapy – not so much in the sympathy I felt for what the characters were enduring as in the way it had me constantly anticipating how the moments we were seeing would affect the lives ahead of them. Of course the lens through which I was doing that forecasting was my own experience, and so the lens became a mirror, in which I could see the threads tracing back from today to those moments of my own, way back.
And he hit the nail on the head, with regards to "why do I care about Tyler Clementi". The same observation rang true when I was watching Beibs at the bowling alley.

We head into his studio, where Aldred greets Bieber and pumps him up for the evening by ripping the sleeves off of his T-shirt while he's still wearing it. OUTTA MY WAY, SLEEVES. This is clearly not the first time they've performed this ritual. It's Bieber's patented entrance move, his talcum powder tossed in the air. Being Justin Bieber means having an endless number of T-shirts to destroy.

i could totally see him going off the rails a la britney if his management wasn't so tight -- still may happen cuz he seems to have a small rebellious streak
― fapper don (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 31 May 2012 02:27 (eleven years ago) link
timberlake is a high bar tho -- there's nothing really to suggest that bieber has that kind of songwriting talent, for instance -- he's supposedly some writing on this album and the songs are definitely impressive but if he ever puts out an album 75% as good as 'futuresex/lovesounds' i'd be floored
― fapper don (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 31 May 2012 02:28 (eleven years ago) link
i think he could have a pretty rewarding career as a singles artist whose albums are half pretty good, half total nonsense -- but he's still far, far away from his mid-20s
― fapper don (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 31 May 2012 02:30 (eleven years ago) link
I know nothing about the dude, but does he work with any auteur producers, or just hitmaker hacks? JT's smart move was hooking up with Neptunes and Timba at the peak of their powers (more or less). He had an ambitious eye for quality. The Bieb seems to be all about product right now, which is the safe move. But he's also really stupid young.

i don't exactly think hit-boy and bei major are geniuses or something, but they're more auteur than stargate and dr. luke

idk, the album doesn't often rise above this minimal "just ok" level for me. it just kinda plods along with its competent-but-sorta-limp hooks, edm-y beats and diaphanous lyrics and doesn't hit much of a stride for the most part. and the title track is just embarrassing, i can't even put myself through it again.
(i love how mere seconds after i thought, "wow, his voice sounds unusually annoying here" during "right here" drake entered the track and instantly one-upped him in that regard.)
that said, i do like a number of the songs on this album -- "boyfriend", "thought of you" (which i would say does actually 'hit a stride'), "catching feelings" (which appropriately enough is one of the only tracks that actually captures a ~feeling~ for me, however uncomplicated), "as long as you love me"
i'm sure many people will like it (including people who never liked anything he did before) but i'm not even sure this is even negligibly better than his previous material
― teledyldonix, Friday, 22 June 2012 18:21 (eleven years ago) link
nicki minaj's verse is oddly beautiful to me despite the lol-worthy wiener/selena rhyme. love love love her delivery. JUSTIN - BIEBER!

but yeah, i agree with you his statement about anne frank was pretty weird/borderline offensive
However, there is a simple explanation for the comment, a source tells PEOPLE.
"Justin took the time to visit the museum after reading Anne Frank's diaries – he wanted to follow-up by visiting her house. Someone told Justin during the tour that Anne was very into pop culture and probably would've been a fan of Justin," the source says.
"It's sad that people are so quick to criticize without understanding the context with which he made those comments."

I don't normally open up this thread, so I didn't hear on the radio until this morning what this is all about. I'm completely fine with what he said. Above and beyond the fact that he was, in his own clumsy and egocentric way, trying to say something nice, I sometimes think kids forget that Anne Frank--or MLK, or, in my own country, Terry Fox--were actually real people. They're presented with this deified, remote textbook figure from the time they enter school, and after a while, I get the feeling--as a teacher, from first-hand observation--they just tune out anything further you have to say. Suggesting that Anne Frank, in another context, might have had feelings similar to other teenage girls does not seem like the worst thing in the world to me. (I'll cut him some slack and assume he meant in another context--not that in the middle of her actual horrors she would have found time for Justin Bieber.)
― clemenza, Monday, 15 April 2013 11:32 (eleven years ago) link
A friend of Ann Powers noted this more specifically in re: Frank, pop culture and being a 'real' person:
I am sure that this is not what Beiber had in mind, but it is true that Anne Frank did keep up with Hollywood fan and gossip magazines and particularly liked Deanna Durbin, who was, arguably, even more manufactured than Justin Beiber (whatever you think of either of them). Both Durbin and Beiber were/are heavily promoted teen "singers"; both were popular among younger kids because of their anodyne, nonthreatening good looks (Durbin was engineered by the studio as the "wholesome, attractive" opposition to Judy Garland's actual talent but somewhat swarthy appearance). It's not flattering for Beiber, but it also means that he might not be totally wrong.

I wouldn't worry about Bieber yet - he's not some strung-out drug addict, just a typical dumbass teen (with too much money) who likes to party. I remember another rich dumbass from Ontario who once got arrested in Florida for driving drunk and in possession of weed while still a young man, but that little setback didn't prevent him from turning his life around and growing up to become MAYOR OF TORONTO!

not really. it's kind of his legacy song because it broke YouTube records and YouTube has been the catalyst and primary metric for most of his success, but it's not remotely his biggest radio hit, and critics never really cared about it. they did briefly care about "Boyfriend" because it/the video were transparent Timberlake career narrative cosplay, but that didn't last long.

him not being a presence the last 3 years was at least semi-deliberate -- "What Do You Mean" is the first real full scale solo radio single he's released since "Beauty And A Beat" in late 2012. his team kind of bent over backwards to engineer that break, though, releasing Journals songs once a week so it'd be a 'compilation' and not an 'album' and the label asking Billboard not to report sales so that people couldn't analyze how well or poorly it was charting, which is kind of unprecedented and crazy to me. it seems like they saw the tabloid meltdown narrative building steam and decided to wait it out so that the next album would be The Comeback without ever really suffering The Flop first.

Re: the Slate article, it seems clear already that the song is reaching a wider audience than just his fanbase. His fanbase almost certainly turned out in huge numbers in the first week, but the song was still #1 in sales in its second week despite the typical decline, and though it fell in the second week on the Hot 100, it only fell to #3. For comparison, any given One Direction lead single debuts high in the top 3 in the first week due to their fans and then almost completely vacates the top 10 by the second week due to a huge sales decline and no radio support. On that note, "What Do You Mean" is currently top 15 on radio overall less than a month after it's release to any major radio format. So I think it's safe to say "What Do You Mean?" is appealing to more than just his fanbase.

I'm just speaking to a general trend in career arcs of teen pop stars that's pretty consistent and fairly obvious imo. if they're interested in any kind of career longevity in the industry they make the leap to "respectable" hitmakers (usually via some bids for being controversial or otherwise adult; "I'm all grown up now!") and attempt to age with their generation

i am familiar with the "all grown up" now arc of a teenpop star's career thankyou, i am just wondering why this seems so divorced from his music for so many people. his music was getting interesting & good three years ago!
don't really hear anything more interesting or less pandering in the new songs' production than say "as long as you love me" which is a pretty high peak in his discography, or several other tracks on believe
i never did check out journals, weirdly when i interviewed k michelle she went on about how great it was for AGES

unlike lex i do think "where are u now", "what do you mean" and "sorry" are some of his best work so i can see why people are really into them
but i do think this is a case where a pop star being more consciously grown up in sound (i.e. the verses on "where are u now") makes it ok for some people to approach his music, where there was still something goofy and immature about "boyfriend" or "beauty and a beat"
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 3 November 2015 17:30 (eight years ago) link
also i wouldn't discount the fact that he became a tabloid fixture in between the two records. more interest in his celebrity is going to generate interest in his music even amongst ostensible critics (this same principle applies to rihanna becoming a huge concern among tastemakers on the internet despite releasing like 3 songs in the last two years)
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 3 November 2015 17:34 (eight years ago) link
iirc people were hyped abt boyfriend at the time but believe was kind of a disappointment and
i don't think it has anything to do with his age. teen pop stars who successfully become adult pop stars are outliers we just all collectively forget about the ones who don't, like it's not a general trend for people to positively critically reevaluate like willa ford or whoever when they reach 21

most teen pop stars look at the odds and cash out without even bothering trying to become an adult pop star - cuz the road is brutal and the rewards are not clear. If you've already made millions by the time yr 21, why not take yr ball and go home and do something else (as most do?) The outliers are either those who really deeply crave artistic credibility or are psychotically narcissistic enough that they crave pop-star levels of fame/attention and can't envision existing without it.

but seriously... Bieber's obviously committed to trying to make that transition, he's investing a lot in making that happen, he's still in the tabloids, his range of collaborators is expanding = adults will now start paying attention to him. If he doesn't convince as an adult he will bomb, if he does then he's probably on safe ground for the next 5+ years or so.

'journals' was worse than this stuff bc he was doing more straight-ahead R&B instead of R&B pop and his voice is terrible for that sort of thing
he can get by on lite rhythmically nimble records but is not so good at conveying passion thru strength of vocal performance

i agree on the latter which is why i don't think they work as well - they're quite understated production-wise and his vocal is pretty foregrounded, and he doesn't sell any of the songs especially well
he basically needs huge-sounding production ("as long as you love me") that makes him a cog in the machine
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 4 November 2015 08:53 (eight years ago) link
No I'm talking about why journals doesn't work ... On "what do you mean" his vocals are light as a feather, there's no sense of him over singing or reaching for some big dramatic r&b display

if you kept the first 7 tracks, ditched the travis scott record, moved the halsey one up, kept "where are u now" and swapped the other three out with "been you", "get used to me" and "hit the ground" you'd have a great front back to album. almost there! oh well i might just do that myself anyway.

album is very boring, very whiny. idk why people are going on about how vulgar the house beats are, if only there was some vulgarity here. i don't require artists to be pleasant people but biebz manifesting adulthood as a sub-drake gaslighter is deeply irritating to spend time with

yeah -- I understand why bieber essentially has to play contrite and compare himself to jesus/gandhi, but the songs would only half-work if he didn't. (and if he could sing, but, well, yeah)

first half is solid, second half is super iffy although i like the nas song, sounds like a LTTP outtake

my only prob w/ jordan's alternate tracklist is 'no pressure' is one of those terrible oversung bieber records
okay, on my third pass through the album i finally let it play past 'where are u now' and i got to 'children' and what the fuck is this

like this is bad enough that it makes me reassess my enjoyment of 'where are u now' and 'sorry' and 'what do u mean' in that it is just a crasser more straightforward market share grab for people who found those songs too subtleplus it allows beebs the opportunity to rah rah his vapid philanthropic pride for (if i am hearing this correctly) "making a difference"*coughs out a throat oyster* ¡MILLENNIALS! *shakes fist at cloud*

serious lols at Purpose with his sub tuesdays with morrie life lessonsi am compelled to transcribe this for future generations:
i don't know if this is wrong because someone else is telling me that it's wrongbut i feel this so let me just like TRY my best not to let this happen againwe weren't necessarily put in the best position to make the best decisionsyou can't be hard on yourself for it; these were the cards that you were givenso you have to understand that these, like, that's not who you are; you know you're trying to be the best you can be, but that's all that you can doif you don't give it at all you got, you're only cheating yourselfgive it all you got, but if it ends up happening, it ends up happening.that's what's happening with me it's like: i don't giving it all i got, sometimes i'm weak and i'm gonna do itand it's like, I'm not giving myself grace, I'm just understanding that's just how it is

i dunno, i think purpose is kinda garbage except for the singles and not even all thosemuch prefer journals
― i made a scope for my laser musket out of some (forksclovetofu), Friday, 13 November 2015 21:17 (eight years ago) link
too many of the good songs (the singles) are shoved toward the front of the album and even that section is poorly sequenced
hm maybe my expectations were unnecessarily high but the only keeper other than what was out before the album is "company" which i wouldn't be surprised to see as a radio single further down the line
the halsey collaboration threatens to be great for ~the length of its first verse but the brightness of the chorus doesn't contrast well
i'm sure the title track will make a touching closer to his live set, hopefully with the voice recording part scraped out lol

"what do you mean" and "where are u now" still don't do anything for me, "i'll show you" remains repulsive trash
Which, according to the Radio, means he takes the 'record' off Elvis for the most entries in the singles chart.
― Mark G, Thursday, 10 December 2015 14:46 (eight years ago) link
read something similar re "reading this it's too late" but doesn't make sense since the tracks are not released as singles, right? stating the obvious but album streams don't = single sales
― niels, Thursday, 10 December 2015 15:02 (eight years ago) link
Yes, but they still put them in the 'singles' chart.

“I feel like that’s why I have a relationship with Him, because I need it. I suck by myself. Like, when I’m by myself and I feel like I have nothing to lean on? Terrible. Terrible person. If I was doing this on my own, I would constantly be doing things that are, I mean, I still am doing things that are stupid, but… It just gives me some sort of hope and something to grasp onto, and a feeling of security, and a feeling of being wanted, and a feeling of being desired, and I feel like we can only get so much of that from a human.”

I had stopped listening to him after “Yummy”, but “Peaches” sounds good at least. he’s bought all the r&b, rap and even afropop (Burna Boy on a so-so track) collabs money can buy, but I’m not sure I’m keen to indulge him and his “MLK Interlude”s. it’s hard to keep up with the guy (if you would want to). I see that apart from a Deluxe version of the album he has now also dropped a new EP which has him channeling Wizkid of all people on the title track:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjMts2i93-0Justin Bieber ft.

i have more patience for Bieber than I probably should but even I think there needs to be legislation against him starting a song "BIG UP TO MY BRUDDA"

i dislike "peaches" also, no idea how it's become his most effortless hit since purpose
― dyl, Monday, 5 April 2021 23:14 (three years ago) link
well it's easily the best single he's released since purpose... the other singles off this album are just totally dire, yummy was a pretty big hit despite being deathly corny, the quavo one i can barely remember how it goes. "peaches" is an up tempo summer song with a memorable chorus, i'm surprised it took them this long to find a song even this good
― J0rdan S., Monday, 5 April 2021 23:27 (three years ago) link
"yummy" and the quavo song were from the last album not this one, which kinda underscores how indistinctive his music has been and still is in these past couple years

i don't hate "peaches" but bieber's presence on it is clearly the worst part and while pleasant otherwise it's pretty blandly forgettable
