1st. I find it really hard to understand why you have no respect for bieber when you admitted you've never heard a song by him.
2nd. I respect all musicians. From the 4th grader just starting in a music program at an elementary school, to Bieber, to Jay Z, to Slipknot, and everyone in between.
Because, I know how hard it is to write music.
I know how hard it is to bare your soul in lyric and movement.
I know how hard it is to step on that stage for the first time, or the 100th time, or the thousandth time.
And I absolutely positively RESENT your comment that there is somehow more "self centeredness" amongst artists. What? Because I can create a piece of photographic or digital art, or write a song, or write a poem, I'm somehow more prone to be self centered?
That's a load of Bullshit.
We don't see ourselves at the center of the universe as a way to motivate us to become more famous. That's really, not the goal. The goal is to share, and spread, and experience the art, in whatever medium, and share it with as many other people as possible.
We shouldn't have had to bring up the fact that he is a charitable guy, or that he's into tech stuff, or that he is a huge advocate of PETA. You shouldn't be such a damn Bieber Bigot when you haven't heard a song that he's done, you haven't taken the time to understand him.
You took the Record Industry bullshit, pre conceived notions, and media stuff and ran with it, and created a monster in your head out of a pain in the ass bratty kid who is probably a decent guy if you know him, but is struggling under the enormous weight of the spotlight with which our consumeristic society uses to consume the public beiber.
This, is why I would never have made it as a "famous" musician. I would have either killed someone, or blown my brains out. I couldn't take even a portion of that kind of public scrutiny.
