Target for criticism and prankstersBieber has often been criticized for being younger looking than his age, effeminacy, his teen pop music, image, and frequent media attention.[55] For these reasons as well as many others, Bieber has been a frequent target for internet bloggers and message board posters — notably by users of internet message board 4chan, users of YouTube, and various Facebook groups. Pranks have included a successful campaign to push "Justin Bieber Syphilis" to the top of the Google Trends Hot Searches list; hacked YouTube videos that were altered so as to redirect users to adult websites or trigger pop-up messages saying that Bieber had been killed in a car accident; his Last.fm photograph being changed to pornographic images; various rumors circulated, from rumors that Bieber had died, joined a cult, or even that his mother was offered $50,000 to pose topless in Playboy magazine — none of which was true.[56] This all forced the companies affected to update their security protocols to reverse the damage, and Bieber himself tweeted to fans reassuring them that he was still living and that false rumors about his mother "just grossed and weirded me out."[56]Most notable was the campaign to send Bieber to the Juche state of North Korea as part of his world tour (entitled My World Tour).[56] This was done in part by 4chan users voting for the country on the tour's website, for the free competition to nominate a bonus country for the tour — the second place country being Israel, which presumably was voted for by Israelis genuinely wishing to attend the concert.[56] It is highly unlikely that Bieber would actually be given permission by the North Korean government, or concert organizers and management to even enter the country.[56] Universal Music Group has denied any involvement in a poll that became the target of an online prank. A spokesperson for UMG told BBC News that it was a "hoax" but declined to give any further comment.[57]Explanations as to why Bieber has been targeted include his success at such a young age, and ultra-trendy image; Nick Collins of The Daily Telegraph speculated that "Bieber's character also appears to strike a particularly sour note with his internet critics, with many remarks commenting on his youthful appearance, his teen-pop songs, his image as a heart-throb to young teenage girls and his manner of speech".[58]
Justin Bieber is old news. I mean OLD. Like one foot in the graveyard old. He’s what…16 years old now?It’s time to replace him before he’s ready for a Mach 3 Turbo Titanium razor, so let me introduce you to 11-year-old playah CJ Dippa. He’s a sixth grade rapper/dancer veteran who has been rapping for the past eight years, and got his big break with a period-inducing audition on America’s Got Talent on Saturday. But don’t be so fast to draw comparisons to that fossil Eminem. He says: “The only difference between me and Eminem… Eminem don’t dance!”
EACH TIME I HEAR OR READ SUCH THINGS MY BLOOD STARTS TO BOIL IN MY VAINS, CAN'T THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER MICHAEL JACKSON, HE WAS, IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE ONLY KING OF POP THAT THIS WORLD HAS EVER HAD, THAT KID PLAYS ON MY NERVES, SICK AND TIRED OF THIS
Quote from: "MashMike"EACH TIME I HEAR OR READ SUCH THINGS MY BLOOD STARTS TO BOIL IN MY VAINS, CAN'T THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER MICHAEL JACKSON, HE WAS, IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE ONLY KING OF POP THAT THIS WORLD HAS EVER HAD, THAT KID PLAYS ON MY NERVES, SICK AND TIRED OF THISTo me, I feel like they are trying to take away from his legacy by doing that. It's like they're saying, Michael comes a dime a dozen, we can find another one. They don't realize just HOW much he's done. He was an AMAZING dancer, an INCREDIBLE singer, a musical GENIUS, a PRODIGY, an INNOVATOR, a HUMBLE person, a LOVING person, he cared about HUMANITY, the EARTH, CHILDREN, ANIMALS, everything. He has donated to the most charities EVER. He was one of the greatest humanitarians this world has known all while being the GREATEST ENTERTAINER & the King of Pop. So no, another MJ cannot be found because no matter how far you travel you will never find someone who possesses ALL of his qualities. There may be people who can sing or dance like him but to be on his level, you have to do everything else he did for the world. You have to break records & last 40+ years & last through as much as he has. They need to be searching for another great star who can make a mark in entertainment history LIKE Michael did, but to look for the NEXT Michael is pointless & disrespectful to his legacy. He worked hard for it, there is no one with the work ethic or drive or star quality that he's possessed since he was 5 years old! He wasn't forced or pressured to be able to sing or dance, it all came naturally, he was born with talent. He had more talent in his pinky finger than most of the artists out today. He accomplished more in his life & career before he was even 18 than most people have done in their whole lives. How often have you heard of that happening? Oh & let's not forget his upbringing, he was born in a low income area, his parents struggled, they were poor & they beat the odds. He's the first person I've ever heard accomplish what he has from childhood with a start like that & I'm sure he'll be the last because I have yet to see anyone come out that even has an ounce of potential. :roll:
