I was going to write a huge long rant about Justin Bieber…but having just given out about Lady Gaga, I’ve realised I just can’t go on…basically I don’t have a problem with Bieber (OK, certain things DO annoy me) but I’m just too old to be able to critically compare how great or not his music is to the music people from X-Factor or Britain’s Got Talent release. And tarring him with that brush is basically where I think his music deserves to be, so I can’t rant about that.Â
What however does bug the fuck out of me is the fact he’s released an autobiography and this was what made me aware of Justin and his weird sounding surname that sounds like beaver, hehe, snigger. But seriously – he’s how old (in his teens yet?) and has an autobiography?! This is plainly wrong – what have we come to when a 16 year old has led such an interesting life he can write a book about it? Oh no, it’s not about that is it? It’s about Simon Cowell and the like exploiting young kids and their parents’ wallets. So in fact, this rant is really about exploitative pop music for young kids who know no better. That’s too big a topic for a rant, so I’ll bow out as gracefully as I can!
Or am I just scared by this kid? Enjoy…
