Arfus Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Seriously? What are your professional view on Justin Biebers work? Quote
Guest John Pax Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Nah, seriously.. I don't mind the music he performs, I'm fairly sure that it's not his original work though; so I lost a bit of respect there. It's pretty catchy and I've heard quite a few arrangements of them and they're all pretty cool. He's also a pretty good guy by what I've seen in interviews, I've got nothing against him. Quote

I mean I'm not a huge fan or anything, but but he's a decent performer, and I'm sure he's a nice guy. I saw a funny clip he made along with the website "funny or die" and it was pretty funny. Like you i have nothing against him. Seriously? What are your professional view on Justin Biebers work? What's your opinion of him? Quote
Peter_W. Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Pop star. Not a bad bloke. But pop star pure and simple. Definitely not about the music. Decent voice, shallow music, the works. 1 Quote
The J Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 pure pop, he is a star in that respect only. he may grow though to something else if the industry doesn't ruin him and his music. i think its pretty amazing to write music that connects to so much young people at this age, so yeah kudos to him. but i will never go to his concert and will try to avoid teaching his songs, sorry.

Silva Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Pop. Sings pretty. Doesn't call my attention. Greetings. Quote
siwi Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Bland, derivative, and disposable are three adjectives that spring to mind. Probably a decent enough chap, but the instant obliteration of his music would cause little loss to Western culture. Actually, we should be cautious in blaming Mr Beiber personally for much, as like most commercial musicians he is is simply a front figure for a group of songwriters, producers and marketeers whom he makes money for. 4 Quote

Agreed. Seriously, do we blame the inexperienced teen for taking up an offer of attractive wealth and fame? Maybe a little. Or the many adults behind the scenes who have their own agenda? :musicwhistle: More so, in my opinion. It's not just the people writing his music and doing all the commercial stuff either. http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2011/02/18/2011-02-18_justin_biebers_abortion_comments_in_rolling_stone_slammed_by_the_view_cohosts.html And then: http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/02/justin_bieber_rolling_stone.html That people would ask practically a kid about things like ABORTION is just plain insane, and they were obviously fishing for him to say something embarrassingly ill-thought-out. Seriously, that's not very classy, at all. Yes, the music he sings is mostly annoying and kind of bad, (Like "Baby Baby" -- Oh God, that song really is one of the worst things to come out in a long time :() but fortunately it's pretty easy to escape and stay away from. At least, that's been my experience. :) Quote
composerorganist Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 Ah, who cares? I mean let's take this from the eighties - Debbie Gibson, which is rather pretty good - listen to the bass line quite nice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOoIlN5S0hY not crazy about the vocal line and the "instrumentation" but fits the pop formula nicely ....

jawoodruff Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 I'd probably like Bieber better if he actually wrote the stuff he performs. He's just the model used to sale records and make profit. There's really no artistry in his stuff at all imo. So, not really a fan - a lot better bands/musicians to listen to. Quote

(disregard who wrote it)If I liked it, I would listen to it. Whether he wrote it or not. But, personally, I think it sounds hideous. Quote
robinjessome Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Can barely sing, can't dance... you can see the disconnect between the hack-wannabes and the top-form-pros in this: Bieber looks like a drunken muppet when compared with Usher. Quote
Martin Wolflux Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 A certain CSI episode springs to mind... To be quite honest, I'm no fan of Bieber and I never were. He's a pop singer, so that kind of defaults him to my "ignore list", so to speak. I've listened to a few of the songs he's performed & I think I can safely say that there is nothing new or interesting going on here, and that we should all move along. 1 Quote
bryla Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I really dig his songs! I thinks he's excellent for their execution and the produtions are great. I also like that he has a great creative input on them and he's a great drummer! Quote
Delusional Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 I tend to only respect artists who write their own music (or collaborate). His music at the moment is simply someone trying to rake in money. Once he writes his own stuff, I may begin to listen out for that. Perhaps the lyrics will be more meaningful, or like any good artist he'll experiment. For now though, he's just another bland pop artist whose songs are annoying, rather than enjoyable and thought provoking. Quote
