Justin Bieber is 15 years old? By the sound of his voice I would guess that he is about 10. Castration? Regardless of age, I wish him suffering and ultimately death for his crappy music.
This is one of the lamest. However, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsQC6S4M97g is the first. And don't forget everything by Ke$ha!
My plan to make $50,000,000: 1) Find a random hot chick at a mall. 2) Convince her she's got "talent". Put her in a recording studio and auto-tune every single syllable while adding in catchy (not to be mistaken for good) music. 4) Dress her in skimpy clothing. Controversy = publicity. 5) Market her to the 11-14 year old demographic. 6) Leech off her until she's 17. 7) Repeat step 1. It's evil, but it's how the world works.
I acually like it , but that Justin kid... Seriously?! I've known people that try their very hardest to become a singer, and this (offensive language ALERT) doesn't even know how to write lyrics (i've known people that was that same age), with all those special effects in the background, I mean come on! That's Ludacris! (lol irony , he was acually being feat. in one of Justin's songs) Total BS we got ourselves into >_>
If you want to make another $50,000,000 sell her to Disney when she's at her peak. That will however, require you to sell your soul to Satan, and will reserve you a permanent parking spot in between Dick Cheney and Adolf Hitler.
Soooo, what exactly is so terrible about this song? I haven't heard any of their other songs, but I quite enjoy this one... I'm actually listening to it right now. The lyrics aren't that great, but the music, IMO is pretty relaxing and enjoyable. The first time that I heard it I thought it was a Postal Service song(side project of the lead singer from Death Cab For Cutie). It's a catchy pop song, sure, but what's wrong with that? If anyone thinks that this is the worst song then you obviously haven't heard any 'Drowning Pool' or 'Mudvayne', etc. I realize that those are completely different genres of music, but still... If anyone honestly doesn't care for the song, I understand completely, but some of the posts in this thread seem to me like kids just trying to dismiss anything mainstream as garbage, which a lot of it is, but you shouldn't knock something just because its' popular. I remember way back in high school when I used to 'rage against the mainstream', so to speak, but now I honestly don't give two shits what is popular or not. I only care about what I like, musically. Ok, rant over... I'll kindly step off of my soapbox now
While sure, the auto-tuning is ridiculous, this is one of the few pop songs that I think is really good, along side New York State of Mind. At least you can still tell what his voice sounds like, unlike, say, T-Pain.
Yeah, but his singing sounds pretty retarded. And the background beat sounds like a crappy internally stored rhythm on a keyboard. It's just a step up from a two-tone metronome. I could make a better beat with a spoon, a can of coke and a paint tub. I swear music is getting worse and worse. Pop (which was once good) is now seeming to adopt shitty R&B, rap and techno music. Don't get me wrong, I like ALL genres of music (almost) but today's music never reaches anywhere near my favorite songs of each genre. There is still good music, but it is harder to find and hardly any of it actually becomes popular/well known. I can actually sympathise with the old folk who occasionally mumble "What on earth is music coming to, nowadays?"
No offense intended, but in all seriousness, is this guy deaf or have a touch of 'the down'? It's really hard to take anything that sounds like that seriously. And yes, I agree that Owl City is leaps and bounds better than that noise polution.
I'm not a big T-Pain fan, but at least he has some history as a somewhat credible artist, since he built a reputation as a rapper before turning to the crazy Cher auto-tune schtuff that he's now know for. Not that I personally respect him, but he has some history prior to his Cher days. On a side note, Cher was actually the first artist/singer/whatever to use the vocoder commercially in the late nineties with her come-back hit 'do you believe in life after love'. Someone, please bring back the glory days of Al Jarreau...pretty please.... Scat needs it. Hell, the integrity of the music industry needs it!
