shoot, I posted this in the wrong thread! No I didn't... Here it is back:
First of all, I just want to say that I am not defending beiber here, nor do I like his music. In fact it's an understatement to simply say "I don't like his music." Let me make this clear: I HATE his music. If you all are looking for someone to debate about whether his music is good or not, you're picking the wrong guy to fight with, because I agree with just about everyone on this thread that is saying his music isn't that good.
The above being said, some things said here weren't that true. For example, I saw someone on this thread saying something along the lines of "all pop music is forgettable". This is not true. By my understanding (which very well may be wrong, and please correct me if it is) pop music=commercially successful music. By that meaning, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, U2, and Micheal Jackson are all pop, yet every one of those groups (ok M. Jackson is not a group) are being remembered.
So my point is: Not ALL pop music is forgotten! It depends on whether people still think the music is good a long time from when it is made. Now whether people will still think his music is good 30 years from now? Time will tell. And just for the record, I personally hope that they don't, because I can't stand his music at all.
My second point: Music is all in the eye of the beholder. Just because you hate his music, and I hate is music (which I dearly do) dosen't mean everyone hates his music. If there's anything I do like about beiber fans, it's that they don't go around youtube going on the bands I like (such as the who u2 the beatles etc) saying that they suck and the beiber rocks. There's nothing I hate more than elitest pricks going around saying music A is better than music B. Now people are allowed to have an opinion, and say "I personally don't like Music A" but some people seem to think that you can prove with science and facts that one group of music is actually BETTER than another.
I feel I've made too many pro-justin beiber comments in this thread and I can't stand the guy, so I want to end this thread on an anti-beiber note. I can't stand his music or him for that matter, and it is a shame that his music has the popularity that it is. The fact that so many people like his music is a mystery to me. They are entitled to there own opinion don't get me wrong but I am personally appalled that they have that opinion.
