Love Him or Hate Him, It's Still an Obsession

When it comes to Justin Bieber most people have an opinion about him one way or another.  You are categorized as either a ‘Bielber’, or a hater.  Usually people write him off right away.  I say that it is his fans to blame.  Much like the Twilight Saga series, whose fans have diminished all the good qualities that the series has had, Justin Bieber’s fans have done just the same to his music.  They have been obnoxious, loud and proud teenage girls.  While they have been the sole reason of the success for Justin, many opinions have been altered because of how crazy they are.

For anyone that knows me I love the Biebs, and this entry should not shock anyone.  In fact people are probably more surprised that I have taken this long to write something about him.  A year ago I would say that I was not your typical fan, and while I am still not the screaming and crying tween that idolizes over Justin, I do tend to scream or at least get overly enthusiastic and embarrassingly enough I have cried before.  I’d like to believe that I am not his stereotypical fan, but who am I kidding? I blast his music frequently, have a poster of him on my door, and hope that one day I can go to one of his concerts.  My friends, family, co-workers, randoms, and even my bosses (who just judge me because their 9 year old isn’t yet obsessed with Justin.  Sorry Dan O’Brien it’s going to happen one day) have ridiculed me on various accounts. 

Casual Redecorating of Cabin 4

Lovin' the Biebs everywhere

I blame my campers from this past summer for my obsession.  I have always loved JB but my campers heightened it to a whole new level.  Not only was Justin Bieber continuously playing throughout our cabin, but the girls had also taken upon themselves to do some interior decorating and wallpapered the walls with posters upon posters of him.  Thus, this was deemed the summer of the Biebs for cabin 4.

Personally I am completely biased when it comes to Justin Bieber as it is clearly shown in all the above examples.  However I truly believe that he is a great artist.  I challenge every person who disagrees with me to watch his movie “Never Say Never” which follows Justin throughout his Never Say Never tour, ending with a sold out concert in Madison Square Gardens in New York.  For an artist of his age and for how long he had been in the industry, selling out Madison Square Garden was a big deal. 

The movie also shows how Justin got to where he is now.  There are clips of when he was three playing the drums...with rhythm.  How many three year olds can do that?  There are also clips of him singing covers and playing the guitar up on YouTube, which is where it all began.

All I can say is to check out “Never Say Never” and look beyond the hype and the name of “Justin Bieber”.  Actually check out him for who he is.  Obviously I do not expect everyone to like him but at least give him a chance.  Who knows maybe you will catch the “Bieber Fever”.
