I remember seeing a video a few months ago of Bieber and his crew walking through the kitchen of a night club (very intoxicated) and Bieber urinates in the mop bucket in the kitchen. Next, Justin or one of his friends says something along the lines of, "You ought to feel lucky that I just did that in your mop bucket". This boldness and very self centered ego is bringing a considerable amount of bad attention lately.
This past spring, Justin made a comment while visiting the Anne Frank house that brought in some serious outrage. He said that he would have hoped Anne Frank would have been a fan of his. I am not really sure how I feel about this comment, but I really don't think it deserved the outrage it received. There are too many unknowns in the situation and out of context, we don't know exactly what he meant by it. Additionally, we have to remember that he is in general very self centered and has a large ego, so it is understandable that he would want to tie in this historical figure with his fame. However, I don't think it was a malevolent comment. Perhaps he should have held his tongue or phrased it better, but I don't think it deserved the attention it got. I DEFINITELY think that people need to focus a little less on silly celebrities like this clown and focus on important things in the world. It is fine to listen to celebrity's music, watch their movies, etc... But don't spend too much time blogging about what Katy Perry had for dinner last tuesday, because it really doesn't matter.
Well, going against what I just said, what on earth is with these pants?
Very funny post. I laughed out loud at multiple points. Especially about the pants. It looks as if he is wearing a saggy, purple zebra print diaper. I have never been one to care too much about people like Bieber. I don't love him and I don't hate him. I don't wish much harm on him but I think his time will be up shortly. He is growing up and has been a child star for some time now. They always end up messing up their lives and getting washed up.
ReplyDeleteI do think that his comments on Frank were good in the sense that they sparked a conversation about celebrity and the transitory nature of fame. Will Bieber have the cultural staying power of say, Michael Jackson? I don't think so. The reasons for this are unclear, but I think his comments to reveal that there is some justice in celebrity in the long run: Bieber will perhaps only be remembered, as the articles say, as a footnote to someone like Frank.
ReplyDeleteThe pants picture sparked my interest on other funny outfits that Bieber has worn. He looks to gain attention with his funny hats and saggy pants and you could say that its working. I agree with the correlation of Beiber singing about "Nice" ideas and now turning into the sterotypical teenager.
