I'm not going to deny he can sing, but I'd have to hear him in person to judge for myself. You can't really tell who has talent these days with all the digital manipulation and shit.

This might be the dumbest argument against modern music I hear on the regular

If someone makes fantastic music but they can't "really" sing then why are they judged as bad? Are keyboard players worst than concert pianists because they alter the sounds of their instruments? Are heavy metal players with electric guitars worse than someone who strums the chords to Wonderwall at a college party?

It's not that I don't like him but I'm not sure if 2015 Justin Bieber redeems 2010 Justin Bieber.

No. Those people are talented, too.

Justin Bieber has talent, he just puts it to poor use.

What makes a lot of his music catchy and fun is the actual producing done by other people, and that's what bothers me sometimes. Skrillex produced his most recent album, and he really doesn't recieve much credit for basically putting together all of the synths, mixing, etc. Then again, I suppose that's the case with a lot of musicians.

I just like to see credit be given where it's due.

I'm fine with his newer songs, but I don't like him as a person.

I haven't paid any attention to him since my sophomore year of high school. Back then everyone I knew was talking about him and it was rather annoying.

I enjoyed all those happy wheels levels that involved killing Justin bieber

He's good at singing, but I'm not a fan of his genre.

Winy · December 24, 2015, 09:54:42 PM

I still think "Where Are You Now" is an awful song. Like, Jack U is a dope album, but that thing was the biggest hit off of it and it's honestly the only song I think is bad. It has such an awkward beat and tempo, I just can't get into it.

He's trash. He tried going to my high school the year after I graduated, but he couldn't handle all the inner city kids.
Say what

Beiber tried going to the same high school that Usher went to. It's an arts and sciences magnet school (now its a charter). I got in due to my artistic abilities. Fun fact: My father-in-law used to be Usher's science teacher there.

I disliked him when he still sounded like an 8 year old girl

I don't really care enough to listen to his music now. Pop music is a genre I generally dislike anyway, so I probably wouldn't like any of his modern stuff now.

Because a lot of the time they don't actually write the music, they just sing it. And if they can't sing, what are they offering?
