Why do people "love" him?
They "loved" him for his looks, not his singing or anything else.
Now that he's not a "cute teen" anymore, they don't love him anymore.
At least the "haters" were always consistent.

More consistent but far less sympathetic. I can understand why a young woman would be fixated on the looks of a young celebrity man.
But I can't understand why somebody would be worked into a rage over the apparent popularity of Justin Bieber. Especially to the point where so many people seem just as obsessed with him as his tween girl fans. I suppose there's a psychological explanation, but it's still much more abnormal than an innocent celeb-crush. -

All the excuses people have for hating him, yet they hated him long before he ever did any of those things.
This exactly. I'm definitely not a Justin fan in the sense of a "fan". My type of music is rock/indie/electronic. Do I like some of his past and current music? Sure, he definitely has a few catchy songs, but I've never bought an album or considered myself even a casual fan. The thing that got me to even look into his newer music (after his "Baby" phase) was the fact that so many people on message boards and comments on Youtube, would bring him up, in subjects that had ZERO to do with pop music, let along him, lol. He literally had haters just because - obsessive ones. That made me curious to look up what he's been up to and then, in essence, listen to and enjoy more of his music. A lot of these people are groupthink bandwagoners. Oooooh, everrryone hates Bieber so I'll bash him too!
Puhlease. A young rich celebrity kid, turned into a young adult rebel. And people want to hang him, like the outcome was a surprise? Nah, it's called having no mind of your own. Half the people complaining about him have probably done way worse than him when they were his age. I know I have
Anyway, I've reached the age where I really don't give a sh!t about celebrity personal lives. As long as they entertain me (actors and musicians), then I'm 16d0interested. If he keeps coming out with sh!t like "Sorry" I just
might
eventually become a fan.

The big problem is that he thinks he's the most awesome singer ever while he's nothing new. I'm not gonna say he's talentless. Even though I find his music terrible, he does have some talent. But his music is not Original nor revolutionary, yet he sees himself as the best ever. This makes him arrogant, he acts likea douche and acts like a wannabe gangster.
And there is this thing in my sig too.rape is sad,but everything happens for a reason -Justin Bieber. And you admire this jagoff?

Very good points, "oos_005", esp.the ref. to your sig without having to mention it beforehand. What Jusitn was quoted as in the sig was one of the WORST things ever made, especially in the USA (yes, I know, he ain't from USA)..
Amanda Bynes is hot and Lindsay Lohan is not.

It's good to see other people feel that he didn't even do anything all that bad. Yes he's made mistakes (and has owned up to them) but as someone else posted, he got a ton of hate even before he started getting into trouble.

The video of him pretending to fall asleep and just generally not listening to the judge is the big thing, if you're going to be that disrespectful for a judge, to the law, you probably need to time out behind bars because you're unlikely to be respectful of anyone.

Whether you love Bieber or hate him, it's a terrific book, and should be required reading for all teenagers. -

I don't hate this kid, but I don't like him and I definitely get why people would. He suffers from a sever case of entitlement, which is why most people hate him and that's where most of his probably stem from. He's entitled to pee in a bucket, drag race, ditch a pet, cheat on his gf, spit on his fans, etc etc etc. Rules are for other people and he can do whatever he wants and that's a really ugly attitude that most people hate because we all have to follow the rules.
IMO if he didn't feel so entitled he would be an ok person, but the fact is he's been super famous and practically worshiped since he was about 14 years old so he's messed up. I feel sorry for him but at the same time I think he's a serious a-hole and basically deserves what he gets. He's gotten his hand slapped enough times and yet he hasn't changed for the better.
Stuff like talking about Anne Frank is in SUCH bad taste, but imo it's more like a young person who's put of touch with reality, like John Lennon saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus. A lot of kids say some pretty stupid things, I know when I was young I said some stupid things I'm glad haven't been spread around the world for everyone to mock.
IMO the problem with Bieber is that no one remembers he's just a kid and they have too high expectations for him while he himself has too low expectations of his own behavior. -

Yeah, nothing he's done has been all that awful, given the current celebrity era.
And, yes, his sense of entitlement is indeed that thing that seems so unlikeable about him but how do you become the most famous person on earth at age 15 and not have that happen?
One thing working for Justin, though, is that while he's undereducated formally, he seems to be intelligent and well aware that he comes off as entitled.
So we'll see where that goes.
I've been pretty critical about Justin, too, and he's often been very difficult to like.
But, obnoxious kid with too much money though he may be, it's not like he killed anybody. (There are people on the dais of his roast who indeed have, yet they're not reviled for it).
Justin was a boy when fame was thrust upon him. He went from total anonymity to becoming the Most Famous Person On Earth within about 5 minutes That's not normal. And that kind of notoriety has ruined (and even killed) countless adults, let alone children.
Not only that, but teenaged Justin entered the industry at a time when even the biggest talents were being encouraged to behave as badly as possible for purposes of generating press (the kind of stunts once the territory of mere wannabes). And an entire tabloid industry grew up pushing these boringly endless kinds of bad-boy/bad-girl stories.
So somebody, a lot of somebodies, were making money off of (and encouraging) various celebs' bad behavior, including his.
It's a business. A Bad Behavior Business which involves tons of different people along the line.
Sure, Justin has responsibility for his own actions. But during most of all this, he was just a kid. That doesn't excuse all of it, no, but he seems to be an intelligent if under-educated (e.g., "the Sixteenth Chapel") young man who appears to have genuinely realized that his media image is tiresome, not really who he wants to be, and if he wants to avoid Flavor-of-the-Month status, he needs to move away from the Obnoxious Kid persona.
That's not necessary insincere, nor the work of a cynical publicist.
And the fact that he was rated one of the top money makers in music last year (despite some flops) suggests he doesn't "have" to clean up his act unless he chooses to.
In fact, one of the reasons people are now screaming "bullsh!t" on Justin today is that once you try to genuinely correct things, people smell vulnerability and go for the jugular in a way they never really did when you were acting out irresponsibly. (And if he was scamming us, a lot of people would wrongly respect the "hustle").
If Beiber was older, I'd probably dismiss his recent public gestures at "change." But given his age, I'm willing for a while to give him the benefit of the doubt.
Remember: he didn't kill anybody. Nothing he's done has been any worse than Young-Rich-Kid-Arrogance egging houses and saying d5b4umb things outside Anne Frank's attic.
In an odd way, it can all be summed up in one of Justin's retorts at his roast last year: "What do you get when you give a teenager $200 million? A room full of has-beens calling you a lesbian for two hours."
And that's about it. He's been behaving in typically jerky celebrity fashion of the present era. I'm not saying that there's not a jerk beneath the jerk, but our reviling him as a superlative agent of evil is kind of silly.
If he's acting like Mel Gibson in five years, or
Robert Blakes
an ex, then we can give up on him.
