This is a semi-serious thread. Some mild lolcats and demotes will be permitted (but only because the majority of this thread is spam anyways... What, probably 90% of it at least.)

So, Justin Bieber. The Canadian kid that pretty much popped out of nowhere a couple years ago and has taken center stage.

What do you think of him? Does he deserve any credit for working to get himself into his current position, unlike other stars who were groomed from childhood and were filthy rich to start with? Do you approve of his music? Do you think he is a positive or negative icon in teen pop culture? Do you think he will fade away fast, after a couple of years? Do you have any thoughts on his use of YouTube to get his music out there? Do you credit him at all for being very musically talented (various instruments, as well as voice)? Do you think he will lose popularity when puberty hits?

You don't have to answer any of those questions, those are just some areas you may want to consider.

What do you think?
