My 15-year-old nephew listens to Justin Bieber so he can make fun of him.

But seriously - pre-teens always have listened to silly young boys singing. There's really no harm in it, and the girls grow out of it quickly. Teen singers are hardly heralding the end of civilization, for heaven's sake ...

My grandmother thought my mom's Frank Sinatra records were noise. My mom thought Bobby Sherman and all my bubble gum records were trash.

And the beat goes on .. la de dah de deee, la de dah de daaaah ...

So now, I'm wondering who listens to Bieber. I just listened to about fifteen seconds of one of his "songs". Do "Oppressed Minorities" listen to him? In his "performance", he seems to be mimicking stereotypical behavior associated with at least two "Oppressed Groups".

Does anyone over the age of eleven listen to him? And even in the under-twelve group, is Bieber mostly for the below-the-Poverty-Line set? I mean, is he the Singer of Choice for pregnant thirteen-year-olds just beginning their welfare careers?

His drag-racing incident caught my attention, and I just now saw headlines saying he and his father were smoking drugs on a charter jet. So, my curiosity was piqued enough to find a Bieber song on YouTube: YECCCCCCCH!
Michael Jackson?
Oppressed minorities?
Welfare careers?
Way too much presumptions here. You're old, aren't you?

While I'm not a fan of beiber, I'll go out on a limb here and say a portion of his 50 million fans who follow him on twitter might be the ones buying his stuff.

For the oldie here, twitter is this app, where you can share information and have direct contact with people , famous or not.

far from it.

Oh sorry, was the old thing offensive? I guess that is fine for the OP to construct a dismissive post about minorities and teenagers.

Yep, then there's those who lack the talent and think they're making music when it's sadly only noise such as bleeber and jackson, west, gaga and other misfits with money.

I listened to Jackson 5 when I was 5. I thought Thriller was brilliant too. He sort of started a decline imo after that.

Justin Bieber? Who listens to him? Well the media for starters. Outside of that, who cares. Thank God for remote controls.

I agree, although ridiculous to compare Michael Jackson to Justin Bieber.

Other than that -- I agree with the bolded.

Hopefully bleeber follows MJ soon. There's no room on earth for the waste.
