Justin Bieber

I started out with the intent to attack and degrade Bieber as a credible artist, content to join the rest of the Bieber-haters, despite having no real grounds for my dislike. Having actually read his biography and various fan sites, I find myself less certain. Even though I will never listen to his dreamy love songs through choice, I have a new respect for the 16 year old, having presumed that he was just the pretty face for a talented writer; I found that he writes most of his songs, including his biggest hits “Baby” and “Eenie Meenie”. I was always a bit uneasy of a child who could sing about such potent adult issues, primarily love and relationships, but when each song is co-written by an artist/writer then it becomes more understandable. Having said this, there is no reason why Justin as a 16 year old could not have a good understanding of these issues; in fact I believe it further highlights his talent as a writer that he can write about such problems in such a mature and succinct way.

Looking further back into Bieber’s past, from an early age he has been musically talented, he taught himself drums, guitar, piano, trumpet and clearly at some point learnt to sing rather well. He was discovered by accident when manager Scooter Braun was looking on YouTube for songs by a different artist and after many discussions with his mother, the local church, various artists and RBMG (Atlanta record label) Bieber was on his way to stardom. Having sung on many notable live TV shows, performed to crowds of thousands and gone platinum in several countries, perhaps one of his greatest honours so far was to sing to the President and First lady in Washington at Christmas time 2009. With all of this under his belt before the age of 18, Justin clearly has the groundings to become a very successful artist indeed, providing he keeps the interest of the ever fickle pop music fans.
