I think everyone should just leave Justin Bieber alone, and leave him out of this hoax. Let me tell you why:
I'm a bit of a fan of Justin Bieber. I don't have any posters, just a little plaque thing my friend gave me for my birthday. I am NOT even CLOSE to being a crazed Justin Bieber fan and I don't plan on ever becoming one. So before I get into my post, please don't say I'm being biased because honestly, I'm not. My favorite celebrities are Criss Angel and MJ, Bieber isn't even close to being included in my "favorite people" lists. Lol.
So, first of all, I got a chance to meet Justin Bieber before he was famous because my friend Miranda was good friends with him. He was nice, but cocky, just like most 10 year old boys at elementary schools are before they become more mature. He was just like me - a fan of Michael Jackson. I don't think Justin Bieber has ANYTHING to do with Michael's death hoax. I know Michael loves kids and teenagers, however, I just don't think Michael would trust a random, small town kid who just recently got famous. Justin has a lot on his plate right now (world tour, movie, book signings, interviews, talkshows, etc.) and I met Justin more than once before he was famous and I can just tell, living only 30 minutes away from him, Justin would not be a good person to choose to be in on a death hoax because when you live in a small town, things get around fast and the people who live there develop a habit of disclosing secrets. Trust me, in a small town like where I come from and Stratford, gossip gets around like CRAZY! People just find things out even if you don't tell them. And since Justin is young and has friends back home in Stratford, he comes back to visit quite often which you can see in a lot of sneek peaks from his movies. Also, Michael Jackson is SUPER clever and I think he has been planning this hoax for a better part of 10 years. If Justin Bieber was in on this hoax, he would of had to have been famous for quite a long time now. It's barely been 2 years. Justin Bieber is a fan of Michael Jackson and nothing more.
Second of all, Michael Jackson is NOT behind Justin Bieber's career. Usher and Justin's manager, Scooter Braun are. There is a video of Justin singing to Usher before he was famous on his YouTube channel. With the This Is It concerts and the Cirque Show coming up, I highly doubt Michael would have had the time to train a random kid from Stratford, Ontario (believe me, NOTHING happens in small towns in Ontario LOL. The coolest thing I have here is a park with swings and a Dairy Queen). Justin Bieber never had a connection to Michael Jackson. He was only a fan. Just because he's famous and coming out with a movie doesn't mean all of a sudden he is in on Michael's hoax.
Last, I personally think we should just leave Justin Bieber alone. The kid obviously has some talent, however, he rips of Michael like crazy which I can't stand. It's one thing to be inspired by an artist and to be influenced by an artist, but it is NOT right to copy them and that's why I will never be a crazed Justin Bieber fan. He copied "Man In The Mirror" with "Pray", he sings a very flat version of "Wanna Be Startin' Something" in his concert as a tribute to Michael (I saw it - it was horrible), and the thing is, Michael came out with videos and songs like Earth Song and Man In The Mirror out of kindness, Justin Bieber just does it for money because he knew it sold well with Michael. I know it's mean to say that about Justin, but I am kind of a fan of him, but it just really bugs me how much he is copying Michael when Michael is 100 million times better. Michael had natural talent, Bieber has talent, but he needs to work at it a lot and it's not natural. His is not very good live in concert.
Just my opinion though. :)
