Justin Bieber Nominated for BET Award

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 4:53 am

Personally, I don't really care how people feel about his music, personally I think he is a talentless hack. What really irks is that there is real talent out there, I have seen videos of no name performers on youtube that are good enough to rival some of the best of today's culture. But when I see JB and the amount of hype, awards and money he gets, I feel that some of those people really aren't getting what they deserve...

...look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZsML4uWoiw, i just did a quick search on youtube and this kids got some pretty good beatboxing skills. Is he this overhyped sensation that gets awards he probably doesn't deserve, no...

...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHlYwdBqlb8, do they get an uncalled for amount of hype and attention, no...

...http://www.youtube.com/user/DeStorm, a not so well known youtube singer, he brings an interesting element and shows true potential, he is commited and enjoys what he does, but he isn't that famous...

All these people have considerable talent, but the amount of praise JB gets is simply unreasonable, he may be a good singer, people might actually like him, heck, I don't care if he is labelled as the most talented person in the world, but it really seems unjust to give him so much, when other people really do try harder than him. These people not only show talent, but creativity, dedication, and a simple flare which I believe JB cannot compare to.

The Rap/Hip-Hop must be desparate for new talent?

Those are awesome.

Anyway, I don't listen to this kid unless the song plays at a club, because then I have no choice. I never liked rap and hip hop, but after a few weeks of listening to it daily on the radio, it's growing on me.

I don't like his music either, its not my thing. Thing is I don't hate him with the intensity of a million suns. I have respect for Justin Bieber. Hes a nice guy. Tell me he isn't a nice cool guy after watching this:

Hmm, I'd have told the little kid to get a life. That's why I don't have a recording contract, the PR needed to prevent me looking like an [censored] would be too expensive.

I saw this news article yesterday, almost posted it, but I thought it would be too absurd. Hmmm.


Anyway, I went to youtube and listened to parts of a couple of his songs. Note, I said parts as I could not get through more than 30 seconds of each of them. This guy quite frankly svcks.

This is the conclusion I have come to. I don't get it.

Am I missing something?

I never understood the whole "Black Entertainment Television awards" thing anyway. I mean, imagine if there was White Entertainment Television awards... :-/ Yeah, not cool.

As much as I despise BET for its reinforcement of negative stereotypes, if it wasn't for racism, it wouldn't have been necessary.

*cue insecure adolescent males*
:violin:

Let's be frank, Bieber's path is much more likely to lead to a mountain of six and recreative drug use than yours. ;D

*enter stage right*
Hmm, that was not the most subtle que, but it is what it is.
Many trials await on the mountain of six and drugs.
Like the hiv, and the hepatititous, and the chronoric relapse.

My little valley is temperate and has a nice stream.
I think I'll stay here for a bit longer.
*fall of stage in jealous drunken stupor*

[edit]
As much as I despise BET for its reinforcement of negative stereotypes, if it wasn't for racism, it wouldn't have been necessary.

So, if I got this right, If it were not for racism, racism would not be necessary. Justified by its existence. Makes sense.
After all, if there were no racism, then the necessity would not exist as a thing.

Well it's not necessary, it's only allowed as overcompensation for the past racism towards black people. But how is more bad stuff in the present going to fix the past bad stuff? That's not how stuff works, to put it nicely and appropriately.

True, but that is how politics works...just sayin' :whistling:

Seriously, I have come to believe that 90% of everything public is some political or social movement, not in the sense of republicans and democrats, but rather that the king-pins of the industry are somehow benefiting from this. If you look at today's society we still have problems where racism and segregation are involved, for example, it is a well known myth that many workplaces, universities and schools are being asked to 'monitor' the behaviour of certain groups more closely than others, whether that means Atheists, Muslims, Christians, Asians, Arabs, Africans, the list goes on. Lets just say that there is more truth to that myth, than the official story you would hear about the rebellious foreigners.

Yay! Something else to argue about!
Nah, but it's the fans that annoy me. Mainly why I hate Twilight, the fans are just wild about it. There's too many underage girls these days...

Most of you on this forum are not Mr. Bieber's core demographic. So it is hardly surprising that you don't dig his stuff. And this topic has been a bit wobbly - just a simple bashfest, with some politics sneaking in.

And I hear tell Justin Bieber likes video games - maybe he's a member of this forum.
