The kid is self made to a great degree, loves what he does and makes huge bank doing it. I wonder how much of the "I hate Bieber" trend has to do with the fact that most of us would give a nut to live the life he has had...
He isn't "self made", he is a product created by marketers to sell to pre-teens. With autotune, these products don't even have to any any semblance of talent like they used to before this horrible technology (autotune) was invented.

The Beeb is a guy that would most likely be stuffed into a HS locker.....that's my opinion on the douche since I first saw his video......even my daughters think he is a smarmy little douche.

For me, you hit the nail on the head. Most modern artists can't play instruments nor sing, thanks to studio magic and marketing. Justin Bieber is just one of many.

This still doesn't take away the fact that he's only nineteen with way too much money. I know I did the same at that age with no money and a ****box I wish was a Porsche.

How do you plug a auto-tune into a acoustic guitar?

The kid can't get a break........

"TORONTO (Reuters) - Justin Bieber has run afoul of police in both Canada and the United States in just one week, but the teenage pop star has at least one defender who knows something about negative attention: fellow Canadian and Toronto Mayor Rob Ford."

It would be pretty funny if the US deported him.

"But, but your Honour, please don't deport me. look at this face - I can't be guilty of anything. Plus I have a house/cars/girlfriend in the US."

It would be a good idea....... Canada would get $15-$20 million in income tax (a year) from him then.

In that case he can come and live here. With his sort of bad behaviour he will fit right in

Depending on the facts, it sounds like a whole lot overreaction on the part of what appears to be a paramilitary style police force.

Now, to be fair, I think they ought to give Bieber life for his music....

"past petitions also include "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus being made the new National Anthem and the government constructing a Death Star to increase jobs.

With regards to the Death Star, the White House said it would cost $850,000,000,000,000,000 to make and thus, would not be moving forward with the proposition"



The White house will probably say "We are not prepared to discuss this matter while it is before the courts".

There you go. It's about taking your strong feelings about the kid and being able to do something about it. Maybe someone will start a petition to deport Miley Cyrus and Lindsay Lohan... I see a whole cohort of young girls emulating those two.

You can send both Miley and Lindsay to Canada. Tell them to dress warm.

Ya, but they are at least Americans. They are proof we've got enough of our own problems. So the Canadians need to keep the biebs.

We certainly appreciate your taking some of our most annoying citizens and fitting them into your world, I can live with taking Bieber back, but please, keep Celine Dion, regrettably her voice comes with an attached personality....
