Seriously- why?

had the huge misfortune of seeing this twunt on a music channel. Just dreadful dreadful dreadful trash pop. Quite apart from the irony of a pre-pubescent 14yr old singing about love.

it was so awful that i couldn't change channel- like a rabbit caught in headlights.

who buys these records?

refuse to call them songs (as that insinuates some relation to music), tunes suggest something tuneful, tracks suggest he's "laid down a track" (when in reality someone spent 10seconds writing a ditty).

He managed to record something.

A quick browse of Wiki suggests it is all Usher's fault.
shoot in the face for both of them!

Agree with the OP. I am sick of hearing about this chap, who is clearly untalented. On the plus side, I think he will be forgotten about very shortly.

I had never heard of him until I saw this thread.

I am guessing I should leave it at that and feel lucky?

He's a product of the industry, a basic boywe to fill a gap the Jonas Brothers have left.

It sickens me.

His song's annoyingly catchy. It's pants, but sticks in your head.

Happily there's nothing in my head for it to stick to smile

Luckily my local radio station went bust so has a looped tape consisting of songs entirely from 1972 - 1995 playing over and over again so I can always tune to that when it all gets too much.

But seriously that song is utter gash. I've seen manufactured pop ste many a time, but this has absolutely nothing of merit whatsoever (and I once argued the case for the Backstreet Boys)

My sister loves this little fker, and I have no idea why. Absolutely 0% talent, hasn't hit puberty etc...
And while I'm here, may as well have a rant. 99% of modern "music" is utter st. Out of all the new bands, singers etc, the only one I can think of which I actually like is Them Crooked Vultures, mostly because the members are all from amazing bands. But they don't get to #1 because of some high pitched voiced little bender with no talent. I wish I was born in the late 60s/early 70s. Back then there was The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, Cream, Derek and the Dominoes, Eric Clapton, T. Rex, and Aerosmith. Apart from one or two notable exceptions (Oasis, & Michael Jackson to name two), IMO great music died when Slash left Guns N Roses and Axl became more of a knobhead and made the new GnR sound so st. Velvet Revolver are great except for their singer. I'm also planning on getting Slash's new solo album, should be pretty epic. We need more stuff like that, not some pre pubescent teenager warbling along to what sounds like a dodgy mobile phone ringtone!

Surely just peer-pressure from her mates?

She'll realise how badly she's been conned one day, and will be thoroughly embarrased by it all...hehe

I think she has just seen the light, after on facebook it now says she is a fan of AC/DC.

I would say you are off by quite a bit.
There is still some great music being released.
Not much of it in the charts though.

If you like Them Crooked Vultures try 'Consolers of the Lonely Soul' by The Raconteurs.

There's a heap of great talent out there at the moment just have to know where to listen for it. Here in oz we have triple j which champions new music from all genres except mass produced ste. Just because they aren't charting in some pointless chart of nomarks doesn't mean they are lacking in talent.

As much as this sickens me, at least the Jonas Brothers have some musical talent - they can actually play instruments.

Whereas this Bieber child? As others have said, no talent, obvious or hidden, other than somehow being able to con young girls into thinking he's cool.

I visit Singapore 2x a month and see young nubile girls dancing to songs like his - I entirely approve.
